Gold Winged by SouthernBird

Summary
Meeting this bloke is a whole error in itself, a collateral damage to entice him to waver in his guise, to make his soul a tad malleable. No, enticements of the flesh aside, Naib is on Russell’s time, and while he left behind the dutiful practice of following orders with little doubt of his commanding officer, he at least owes something for being given a chance. For such alone, he cannot ruin this to hell and back.
Yet, one William Ellis seems unknowingly intent on making him break a promise he must keep.

A Study in Courtship by SouthernBird

Summary
Please, Inference prays to a Providence he barely grants faith, not him, anyone but him, and the veteran must quell his hummingbird heart from imploding for it might burst forth from rib and lung, rupture artery in anxious fervor. After all, there is only one bastard in the whole of London’s boroughs who possesses the same posturing cadence in tone—.
And lo and behold, would the cab door not open just as the dread creeps down through the synapse to buzz electric across his skin for the hell-laden horrors have come calling for his ledger: Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street stands there, guilty as Inference has charged.

Summary
To answer truthfully would crush carnation between yellowed papers of his rumination, be knife pointed at the apex of his own throat, so it cannot be welcomed into their room. A lie unconvincing is as good as the truth here, too. All that Schelling can muster under the compelling urge of Inference’s scour is to feint to an open-ended recourse.
Yet, what answers Inference is not a curt length of rope dangling promise of liberation, but a sentiment too much salt and not enough peony: “Have these months together been so devoid of satisfaction for you, detective?”

Summary
“Damn it,” is an utterance dripping with arsenic, a personal creed against his lack of recollection on his own propositions, “today is not Thursday, is it?”
Shiyi folds her arms over her chest in some illusion of plumage to puff up her own frame, yet her eyes perhaps lack the hardened coal fire of would-be retribution. “Friday, detective, it’s Friday and past six at that. Well past the time you mentioned, Mister Inference.”

Summary
A hint of jasmine and vanilla basking in the mingling of spicy warmth welcomes him upon crossing into the foyer of a humble flat, and William knows then what time of the month it is.

Summary
After all, Jane is everything wrong in the world: she is the shadow rolling smoke and mirror through silver-tinged fog, she is the python slithering in the undergrowth for her prey, and she is the black widow spinning her webs in the corners of cemeteries to catch little moths too proud to evade her. And help her, but Nira is that little, silly moth, heart going pitter patter like autumn rain against quartz, wings trembling as she anticipates the first bite along her bared skin.

Summary
Just a few more shuffles of oxford soles, just inches to sanctuary of a little quaint two-level flat, all stolen prayers he hisses to his faulting will. Beyond that door is hope buzzing within his nerves as the wonderful idea of a hot bath then warm bed drips harkening into his veins, a last bit of a push to have his hand raise to grip the doorknob tight.
Or, he would have taken ahold of the doorknob if the front door had not jerked away from him to present the most heavenly sight in Inference’s world.

Go for Gold by SouthernBird

Tags
Summary
There it is, the before-dawn hurrah William receives now every time he is up for the podium, with no silly emojis or emoticons or whatever the hell his nieces and nephews call them. Such funny icons—despite himself using them to always convey tone—are not necessary with his partner who has simply texted, ‘getting gold today, Ellis?’

Summary
It should be as redundant as that: unpack the winter clothes, wrap a muffler around his neck for the walk, cook hardier stews to stick thick to his stomach and leave him so warm and content that he naps on the sofa—until William walks in on a random October evening to turn into the living room and come upon a sight that is more than what could be concocted for those silly slice of life sitcoms his mum so adores.
“Naib… babe, what the hell?”

Summary
“You should not be wasteful of the privileges I allow, Mr. Subedar,” chimes a too giddy, so-called gentleman with a curl along his lips and something twisted in his heart, “indulgences are far and few here at White Sands.”

Summary
“You awake yet? ‘Bout time—I was getting a little bored, sleeping beauty.”
Ah, he knows that lilt, knows the unmistakable superiority slithering dangerous through the reeds whenever this pup of his manages to upend his trust for a little bout of playtime of his own accord.

It is hard though to love someone who thinks himself so undeserving of tenderness, who instead presumes all he deserves is the guillotine and consciously offers his neck to the blade.

Summary
‘Tea with Jack’ is more or less of a euphemism; less ‘cream and sugar for the earl gray, please’ and a lot more ‘please hit harder, sir.’

“I will haunt you every moment, little doll."

Just Average by SouthernBird

Summary
"William likens himself to any other average man out in the world who has an average home and an average job and nothing out of the ordinary to trifle with all of the normalcy.
The kicker of it all is how many times he wonders if anyone else out there who had such simple anticipation of their ambitions would look across a pub and see the most beautiful—if not also nettle sharp and danger incarnate—man."

In which William Ellis is just a man in love and has a nice, lazy Sunday.
