    Summary

    Lohen has one goal in life: to see how many shades of pink Mika can turn before he runs out of names for them.

    Rose. Peony. Cherry blossom. Crimson.

    Every stolen notebook, every whispered tease, every time he stands too close—the color deepens. It's Lohen's favorite game.

    Until Mika starts giving it right back.

    Or: Lohen came for the blush and stayed for the boy behind it.

    Summary

    The door swings open, heavy footsteps meeting the floor underneath. He doesn't look up to see who it is, he doesn't have to. A weight drops beside him, a silent but comforting presence all the same. Neither say anything, not immediately. They simply find something to stare at, their breaths the only sounds they make. There was a time where he hated how well it seemed the Grand Master could read him, believing it to be an opening for control to be taken from him. But now? He finds himself grateful for it, even extends some trust with it.

    "Well," he finally breaks the silence, figuring he might as well do it first. Get in his final word before the hammer swings down. "Guess that's that then, huh?" His hand falls to his lap, limp. Varka makes no move to answer. "The great heroes defeated the big bad villain and uncovered the remains of his influence while the sinner cleaned up his mistakes." A dry laugh fills the air, his heart isn't really in it. "At least I had one last hurrah. Certainly wasn't the way I imagined it, but eh, beggars can't be choosers."

    a quiet discussion after the storm has passed.

    Summary

    Not for the first time, Illuga thinks there must be something wrong with him. Maybe he’s been possessed by the Wild Hunt. Maybe the kuuvahki is finally getting to him; one too many mandragoras, or something like that.

    Either way, there has to be a reason. Why else would Illuga keep letting Lohen into his bed? Why else would Illuga allow Lohen to use his body again and again, leaving Illuga with bruised skin, aching bones, and a weary heart?

    ‘Friends with benefits’ is a phrase he’s heard before, and it makes sense. The life of a Lightkeeper can be cold and lonely, so it’s only natural to seek warmth and comfort from another. But Illuga never expected to find himself in such an arrangement, if what they have can even be called that. Lohen’s rough treatment offers no benefits, and they certainly aren’t friends. Illuga doesn’t even like him.

    This can’t possibly be what Flins had in mind when he suggested that Illuga take up a new hobby.

    Summary

    "You barely ever eat any human food."

    "A shame, really."

    "You must be starving."

    "Not particularly."

    "Then, if I offered you my heart, you would say no?"

    Illuga finds an old book that tells the tales of man-eating fae, and decides to test the reality of it.

    Summary

    Holding the front line of the Black Tide is a war effort that only Mydei could ever accomplish as a demigod.

    For all the power, and none of the glory, it doesn’t change the loneliness that comes from the isolation. When the war starts to get into Mydei's head, he knows there's only one person who can take him out of it. Phainon knows what he needs, but each meeting draws them closer and closer to the end of the Flame Chase, and the pleasure is only temporary.

    And each time, Mydei wonders when it will be the last.
