    Summary

    "She writes him few letters that year. They are polite, proper, correct. She tells him the major news of the village, the widely-known gossip about the lives of her sisters, expresses honest but overly simplified wishes that he come home safe.

    They are open, honest with each other about all but one thing (the most important thing) in person, but for some reason, a letter, which should free her to write as she wishes, without fear of watching the immediate consequences, has the opposite effect. She's more guarded, more careful to conceal. She fills them with platitudes because somehow, she's afraid committing even the tiniest portion of the truth to paper will force her to acknowledge it."

    Summary

    Death twitches in my ear.
    “Live,” he says, “I am coming.” - Virgil

    Julia Montague, during and after St Matthew's College.

    He whispers continually, reassuring me, reminding me to keep breathing. It lasts for what feels like the length of forever. His body atop of mine, one of his hands holding tight to my own, his fingers threaded through mine. It is comforting, it feels like the reassurance of his words, strong, trying to keep me grounded. But then there is noise, crashing and footsteps, his body leaves, the warmth of him disappears, I miss it instantly. I want it back.

    For Ally, happy birthday, lovely.

    Summary

    “Open that up, Hercules, and I'll buy you three whole cupcakes."

    He tucks the jar under one arm, twists with all the might a kid can muster. Predictably, it doesn't budge. Predictably, it's adorable. "Yeah, no. Give me that," she says, taking it back.

    "Two cupcakes, then," he bargains. "And a half."

    Summary

    There are not enough soulmate AUs for these two, so, here’s one that isn’t really one at all. Or, as always, a character study of Mary. Or, an answer to the question, what if they really hadn’t been able to pretend?
    Or, what if everybody developed a sort of mark on the skin with flowers representing all of their loves.
