    Summary

    Scott had never said those three little words and meant them.

    Or, well, not the way he meant them when he’d said them last night. Everything he'd sought for five years now was there amidst golden feathers. So he really wished these fearful thoughts would leave his mind. Saying what had it been but a long con? He could insist to himself over and over that this time it was real, this time he meant it, this time he could be trusted. Trusted to hold such a fragile heart in his hands. But hadn't he said those things to all the ones before? To all the people he'd played with on weekend flings and college summers till he'd fled with pieces of broken hearts left behind him? Of course he had. So what made this different? What promise could he give that he wouldn't break Jimmy the same as he'd broken a dozen other hearts before?
    Nothing. He could give nothing.

    Maybe he was a terrible person after all.

    {In which Scott runs face-first into his commitment issues, Jimmy's trying to figure out what he did wrong, Martyn hasn't talked to this idiot in five years, and even he can guess what's happening, and this is all to say that it's ok to make mistakes, so long as you don't let them define you.}

    Summary

    The first thing Scott notices about the man is his wings—golden and expansive, gleaming with light from the surrounding streetlights and buildings, flared out ever so slightly behind him. The second thing Scott notices is the spattering of stars dusted across the man’s left cheek, slowly turning from black to blue, the same vivid cyan shade as Scott’s hair and the stars eternally circling his head.
    Almost on instinct, Scott glances down to where the wings of his tattoo poke out from the neck of his shirt, sprawling over his collarbone. The mark, which has been an outline of black ink for as long as Scott’s had it, is filling with color—a golden shade entirely too similar to the wings of the man before him. Scott looks back up at the man—his soulmate.

    Or, Scott has always wanted a soulmate. He isn’t convinced that he deserves one.

    Summary

    In the hollow place behind Cleo’s rotting flesh and brittle ribs, there was thrumming. A slow, steady rhythm like fingers tapping on her chest from inside her ribcage. Now, as she laid still and silent, she could truly hear it- worse, feel it.

    There wasn't any denying what it was. A heartbeat.

    TL;DR - Cleo hasn't had a heartbeat since she became undead, but now, her life is tied to Martyn's. She handles it about as well as you'd expect.

    Summary

    “Well, well,” Jimmy remarks as he approaches them, tipping his hat briefly. Scott’s heart, ridiculously, gives an off-beat thud at the sight of him. “I thought there was some trouble getting stirred up over here, but I suppose not?”

    “Oh, trust me, Sheriff,” Scott purrs. “I can make plenty of trouble.”

    Or: Jimmy invites the Emperors to the annual TumbleTown Festival. This leads to some drunken flirting, a clingy Fwhip, an exasperated Sausage, and perhaps certain confessions between everyone's favourite Sheriff and thief.

    Summary

    It starts in darkness.

    This is perhaps the single most obvious case of foreshadowing in existence. It starts in a pit in the ground and a chance meeting and laughter. It starts with a red flower and a two-second joke and blushing cheeks and messy blond curls. It starts with the knowledge that he has always fallen fast, he has always fallen hard, and there can only be one winner and it has to be him, but does it? Does it really?

    In essence, the rest of his short life is a refusal to this one question.

    It starts in darkness.

    No one ever said it wouldn’t end that way, too.

    A brief study on the nature of flower husbands in third life, and what happens after.

    Summary

    “You⎯” Scott seems at a loss for words. “You are like no one I’ve ever met before.”

    “Mm. I think you must not spend enough time around poor people, King of Rivendell.”

    “You’re hardly poor,” Scott protests. “You’re an Emperor just as I am, Codfather.”

    “...Something like that, maybe.”

    Or: The King of Rivendell and the Codfather share a balcony. Somehow, this leads to an alliance, and eventually, something more.

    Summary

    Jimmy’s mind turns in a holding pattern. He opens his mouth, then closes it again. Fright settles like ice into the marrows of his bones. He can’t think; so, he doesn’t, and asks before he can regret his careless tongue:
    “Is this us?”
    ---
    For Grian and Scar, the world ended a long time ago. Somehow Jimmy is always left to pick up the pieces.

    “Would you prefer it be them?” he asks quietly, scanning her face for any kind of answer, affirmative or not. She just looks tired, the glint of Red in her eyes dull.

    “No,” she says eventually. “Maybe. I don’t know. I’m just . . . I’m not sure what to do, you know?”

    No. He doesn’t know at all what she means, honestly. He’s never understood her.

    Summary

    "Scott has had nightmares before, and never remembered them, even when he woke up in tears, but this? This feels different. It feels like something is trying to crush his heart into a bloody pulp, and that isn’t anything he’s felt before.

    This is not normal."

    Summary

    Scott is a lot of things. He’s sharp, and mean, and he knows he can be judgemental and rude sometimes; but he is loyal, damn him, and he can’t even imagine betraying those he is close to. He can’t even picture abandoning them. And he knows it makes him predictable, but it’s the one thing he can’t force himself to do.
    He can’t abandon Jimmy.

    Or: Dogwarts want Scott on their side, and they're not known for asking nicely.
