    Summary

    Illuga was pregnant. The news hit him like a freight train. The culprit was none other than Kyryll Chudomirovich Flins - a bartender at "The Blue Lantern," a pub Illuga used to frequent. After their one and only night together, the man had vanished without a trace.

    But that wasn't the biggest problem. The real kicker? After a long time, Illuga crossed paths with him again, not in person, but on the internal Most Wanted list, under the category: [High Risk, Organized Crime].

    ...Illuga, a detective, pregnant; and Flins, the father, Illuga's next high-profile case.

    Summary

    "What do you think it is to be human?” Flins asks, slow and deliberate, fingers tracing the rim of his drink. 

    “To be human is to feel,” Illuga says, definitively. “To be human is to hurt, to bleed, to cry. And then wake up the next day and do it again. Wake up a thousand times and do it again, knowing that the pain doesn’t stop.”

    Flins’ gaze is piercing. “Why?”

    “Because if we can still feel pain, we can still feel joy.”

    Illuga thinks he knows what it means to be human. He has a few things to learn.

    Summary

    Illuga moved, his body having made the decision even though his conscious mind hadn’t caught up yet. He pushed Flins out of the way and felt the lance stab him in the heart through his back.
    Strange, how that was almost painless. Perhaps his brain simply didn’t catch up yet. Perhaps it simply blocked away the pain. Either way, it was a small mercy. Slamming into the sand was hilariously more painful than the stab itself.

     

    Illuga took up an attack that would have injured Flins, nearly dying in the process because of the Abyssal corruption that took over. Flins refused to let that happen, even if the method to save Illuga wasn’t something he was proud of.

    Summary

    "Flins-san, how do Fae have offspring?"

    "You mean to say... that you wish for a child half Fae and half human with me? Bocchan, you truly are adorable. Honestly, who wouldn't get a heart attack when you say such sweet affectionate things?"

    Illuga isn’t merely asking how Fae reproduce—he is asking Flins for something dangerously close to eternity. Somewhere amid hesitant confessions and heat creeping into his cheeks, longing begins to soften into something far more reckless.

    Because love is one thing.

    But wanting to leave a part of yourself behind within the one you love?

    That is something else entirely.

    〔On Hold — The plot is outlined from start to finish, but I'm currently dealing with writer's block while trying to bridge the gap between the current chapter and the next major arc.〕
