Summary
The first time, it was an accident.
He’d started telling Esteban a story, as he slowly walked back and forth across the room, because Carlos had told Cecil that Esteban liked listening to him on the radio, and that playing his show for their son often helped Carlos settle him down for a nap. His radio cadence was easy to slip into, and his exhaustion-muddled brain didn’t even register that he’d just started a traffic report until he was halfway through it. His son was still wailing, but at this point Cecil was out of ideas, so he just kept softly talking as he rubbed Esteban’s back and hoped eventually it would help, or at least he would tire himself out.
“And now, the Weather.”

Summary
He wasn’t sure how long he was at it before he finally heard Cecil’s beautiful voice come through the speaker on his hip with his customary introduction. Carlos felt his whole body relax as he let his husband’s voice wash over him.
And then Cecil started talking about mirrors, and Carlos froze.
OR
Carlos tunes in to a broadcast about a mirror, and what comes after.

Summary
Pulling his knees up to his chest, he rubbed his eyes and realized they were damp. Was he fucking crying about this? Why here? Why now? He took a shuddering breath in and it came out as a sob.
He stilled, listening. The water was still running in the bathroom. He had a few minutes at least.
Blitzø covered his mouth with his hand to muffle his sobs, and buried his face in his knees. He wrapped his tail around himself, and allowed himself one moment of weakness while no one was there to see him.
It would be quick, and he would get this all out of his system, and Stolas and Loona would never have to find out.

Summary
“Not that I don’t always love seeing you Fizz, and you’re always welcome here, but any particular reason you came banging on my door at 3AM?”
Asmodeus came to put a hand on Blitzø’s shoulder. “We were planning to stop by tomorrow morning anyway, but…”
“But I needed to see you,” Fizzarolli finished, slightly muffled as he buried his face in Blitzø’s shoulder. “Now.”
OR
Blitzø and Stolas are both in need of some comfort after the trial. Fizz and Ozzie step in to fill the gaps.

Summary
Fuck it, Stolas thought, and tore open a portal to wherever the alarm was sounding from. He stormed through and found himself in… Blitzø’s office? Blitzø and Mildred were seated on the couch, and Blitzø was wrapping a bandage around her wrist.
Stolas didn’t even falter. He walked straight up to Blitzø. “Are you alright?” he snapped.

Summary
He was going to regret this.
He pressed the button to answer the call.
“Blitzø, what do you—“
“Stolas I’m so sorry, I know you probably don’t want to talk to me right now, and I don’t blame you, but I need a favor.” Blitzø sounded panicked. What in hell was going on? There was a whine in the background, and Blitzø’s voice came again, a bit muffled. “I know, I know, sweetie, it’s gonna be okay, you’ll be okay, I promise.” He started talking into the receiver again. “Just this one favor Stols, please, and you’ll never have to talk to me again.”
“Blitzø, what is this favor?”
“It’s Loona. She got hurt, bad, and I need you to call an ambulance for me.”

Summary
He was panicking now, he knew he was, and he needed to calm down, but he really didn’t want to deal with this shit again. “When I get out of these I am gonna come in there and I am going to— I’m going to…” He trailed off. “I am going to shut up now actually,” he murmured. “I’ve got some things on my mind I do not particularly want to discuss with you assholes.”
He held his breath, not that it would make much difference, for as long as he could. When he finally had to let it out he choked on the inhale, cloying gas filling his lungs and making it impossible to catch his breath again. He tried to keep it together, he’d done this before, he knew what it was like, that it wasn’t real, but that didn’t stop the colors of the room from smearing around him as reality warped and distorted.
OR
When Blitzø doesn't show up to work the morning after the full moon and isn't answering his calls, his employees reach out to Stolas for help locating him. Stolas manages to find him, trapped inside a human government facility and drugged with a hefty dose of truth serum, and he learns a bit more about Blitzø in the aftermath.

But You Should Know That I’m Sorry for Being Careless with You by CaptainPopcorn

Summary
Then, three weeks, two days, and seven hours after he’d watched him be carried into the hospital on a stretcher (but who was counting), Blitzø flicked on the news and saw that Prince Stolas, of the Ars Goetia, had been discharged from the hospital and had retuned home.
Well shit. He’d blown that one.
He pulled out his phone to text Stolas, but he had no idea what to say at this point. He flicked it back off and set it aside. He looked up at the calendar on the wall. Two weeks until the full moon. If nothing else, he’d talk to him then.
Or
Blitz never made it to visit Stolas when he was in the hospital. At the next full moon, he's left trying to figure out how to make it up to him.
