    Summary

    To devour, and be devoured, he thinks, as he slips the key into the lock. To devour and be devoured, he muses, as he helps unclasp Laios’ cloak with hands far steadier than his nerves; this close, he catches the vague scent of candle flame, the iron tang of wet ink - the fresh, crisp smell of a new book. To devour, he thinks - as he catches Laios’ gaze, tracking his movements, before the other averts his eyes - as if he as been caught, cheeks a pale shade of pink; and be devoured, he thinks - as Laios sits on the edge of his bed; thinks how easy it would be, simply to step forward, to tilt his chin up and kiss him, what might happen if his feelings were reciprocated -

    - arousal lances through him; white-hot, fist-clenching - his stomach lurches.

    “No,” he says, instead - keeps a respectful arm’s length apart, as he watches Laios tug off his boots, his eyes tracking the flex of muscle under his tunic sleeves, the careful concentration in his eyes, as he works to unlace the tops. “No, I think I understand what you mean, when you say that.”

    Or: the adventures of Kabru, master overthinker.

    Summary

    The summer after the return of the Golden Country drips by in a warm haze.

    They are needed everywhere, so they travel everywhere. Each day is a new vision of the world — valley and forest, salted earth, miles of coast where there was once only ocean.

    Summary

    Ann signs Ryuji up for the gay dating app Partnr behind his back. She claims it’s a labor of love, an attempt to get him out of the dance studio and out on a date. Ryuji thinks it’s all an elaborate scam so she can skip their Moscato Mondays in favor of going on real dates with her new girlfriend.

    Ryuji doesn’t intend on keeping the app for more than a week. He doesn’t intend on hitting it off with a stranger using pics of the rising idol Ak★ra for his profile. He doesn’t expect the stranger to be the real thing. And Ryuji definitely doesn’t expect the idol to worm his way into his life.

    Summary

    Will needs a fresh start. Buying a flower shop nearly one thousand miles away seems just like the change he needs.

    Hannibal didn't need a new florist, but he got one anyway. (That, and more.)
