    Summary

    “I’m aware. I do have a plan though. For him to have a date that will actually show up and for you to finally have a table.”

    “Huh? What is it?”

    She stared at him like he was dumb. He stared at her with confusion. Then it clicked.

    “Yer not thinking that I could be his date, are you?”

    “That’s exactly what I am implying, Mr. Boothill. Considering it seems like you have nothing better to do than waste time here and stare.”

    Summary

    Madeleine, acting as if this is completely normal for them, continued to chatter on. Espresso refrained from outwardly reacting, because if one of them is going to be stupid and embarrassing about holding hands, it's going be Madeleine.

    His hand is warm, was the only thing Espresso let himself think about. He feared to indulge any farther for what horrific things it could uncover.

    Madeleine develops a very curious habit of holding Espresso's hand. Espresso is confused.

    Summary

    “Damn Madeleine—idiotic, noble, arrogant Madeleine—for being able to dissolve his composure like this. To reduce Espresso’s distinguished image to nothing with no weapon but himself. How it burned, to be nothing but hands and teeth on skin. How it ached, to prove himself against the lips of one so unaware.”

    or,

    madeleine and espresso do the chase scene thing. you know. the one where you kiss to hide. yeah

    Summary

    Story elements inspired by “The Fool in Her Wedding Gown” by The Crane Wives.

    Espresso is a highly respected alchemist and mage of coffee magic, endlessly plagued with paperwork-induced burnout and nightmare-stricken insomnia. Madeleine is a revered and adored knight of the gods, often versed with light magic and an ego bigger than his brain.

    Espresso is trying his best not to hate his guts.

    Paired on an expedition to slay a beast and rekindle the once burning flames of humankind, the two have no choice but to endure and grasp a tolerance for each other… and perhaps, if they can learn to communicate, they can learn to love again, too.

    Summary

    "Addiction arises from the same feelings that bind lovers to each other and children to their parents. And it builds on the same cognitive mechanisms that get us to value short-term gains over long-term benefits. Addiction is unquestionably destructive, yet it is so uncannily normal: an inevitable feature of the basic human design. That’s what makes it so difficult to grasp – socially, scientifically, and clinically." - Marc Lewis, 'The Biology of Desire'

    When Noé reaches the industry year of his degree, he begins work at a drug rehab centre. There, he meets three people who stand out among the other - three people who open up to him, fight for him to open up, and force him to face the ghosts of his past. This is the story of how he falls in love, loses said person, then finds him again when fate forces their paths to cross.
