    Summary

    “Penumbra (n.) a part of a shadow where the light is not wholly gone, used especially of the half-shadow cast during an eclipse.”

    Evil does not reproduce; it perfects itself. And the Lord does not halt wheels that men themselves insist on turning.

    Some would argue whether Henry pushed or István leapt. But they should note, perhaps, that God kept His silence as ever.

    Summary

    In simple equations no sanctity can exist, and Erik is a man of simplicity; he stops thinking about eternal damnation long before he kisses a man for the first time. He remembers hearing a priest preach by the Frauenkirche, warning about the dangers of carnal desire. All of these — eyes and smiles, coral lips, sun-gilded hair and skin as warm milk — hide the same flesh, fat and bile, bone and blood, and all of it is slowly rotting; should one forfeit his eternal life in favour of this futility?

    The thing is: none of it is new to Erik, none of it disgusts him. He knows what a human corpse looks up close; he couldn’t spot this mystical evil aspect in it even if he tried. There’s no facade to break when he doesn’t look for it in the first place.

    Blood is the noblest of humours, best served on a silver platter.
    István faces his guilt; Erik faces his grudge.

    Continuation of "death's other kingdom". Two-shot.

    Summary

    Oscar and Andy had an arrangement. It was complicated. It was supposed to be casual. But things don't always turn out the way you hope. And it had started to fall apart in places.

    [There are depictions of sex but they're flowery and poetic in most places, rather than explicit descriptions of the acts, in case that matters to you]
