    Summary

    Yet, nothing happens, aside from Kim turning his gaze to treetops lined behind Harry and the way the sun beams down on them. Harry is too absorbed in the anticlimax to notice his eyes are nervous.
    “Spring is coming,” Kim only speaks, “Do you feel it?”

    Vignettes of a new sunrise. Study of how light comes in, emanating between two people.

    Déjà rêvé (from French, meaning "already dreamed") - the feeling of having already dreamed something that is currently being experienced.

    Summary

    Both men were washed in neon light, in a shade in the midst of blue and purple. Its reflection bounced off of Kim’s glasses. The all-consuming quiet of the moment was being interrupted only by deep breaths and distant noises of the city. It was choking Harry up. A choice between silent and honest was before him and even though they weren’t mutually exclusive, when it came to a matter that sat on your chest with a weight you couldn’t move, staying silent felt almost like lying.
    “I missed you,” he managed after a while.

    Kim unexpectedly meets Harry in a parking lot and abandons his routine in the name of inviting him over.

    Summary

    It’s the elephant in the room. A ten thousand pound, mighty elephant who apparently is invisible to Tom, but blocks the field of vision of any Waystar employee who has ever bore witness to any meeting where both he and Siobhan were in the room, however her not at the table, but sitting in the corner, observing.
    Now, there is Greg.

     

    Tom takes Nero and Sporus a little too literally.

    After a string of strange murders, the Guide sets off to investigate when a mysterious woman knocks on the door of their office.

    Summary

    Laszlo took a breath in, regardless of the fact that he didn’t need it.
    “My darling, Colin does not remember a single thing from the past year.”
    Nadja’s angry face fell momentarily. She looked almost as if that piece of news sobered her up completely, eyes wide and mouth agape and even her throat clenched, when she tried to speak.

     

    Nadja and Laszlo have a hard time dealing with loss. Together, it gets easier.

    Summary

    With his stare fixated on her, he finally understood why the poets he had read waxed poetic not only about their muses, but also about the love they had for them, the connection that wasn’t attraction, desire, but something much stronger, much more enigmatic. Something that made him feel excited about choosing a right term of endearment he would call her when she wakes up.
    Good lady wife, was what his mind provided.

     

    Laszlo admires his dearest Nadja.

    Summary

    The Guide let out a sigh.
    Of course, Nadja was mocking her, already playing her wicked little game. She always knew what to say, how to hit the right spot and make them feel disarmed and usually, they would have just stopped at the sigh or scoffed something at her under their breath.
    This time, they followed.

     

    The party at Nadja’s is only getting started for them, when Nadja takes the Guide back to her office.

    Summary

    “Of course, mistress Nadja,” the Guide curled her lips into a smirk, slightly nodding, their head slowly turning back towards the wraiths, but their gaze still steadily focused on Nadja.
    They felt a hand stroking their shoulder and what came to their mind instantaneously is that maybe, just maybe, they were a little wrong about being free from those sappy, smitten thoughts.

     

    The Guide tries to focus on their new job, but new realizations keep dawning on them and Nadja isn’t particularly helping.

    Summary

    Now, after all these years with these eccentric vampires Guillermo learned nothing could truly be surprising. He was aware of Laszlo’s numerous partners, but a husband? It threw him off-guard, “Your… huh?”
    “My husband.”
    “Since when do you have a husband?” he twisted his face into a frown.
    “Since the dawn of time, almost,” Guillermo was really not getting something, “Now, Gizmo, stop fucking around. Where is Nadja?”

     

    An insight into Laszlo and Nadja figuring out their gender identity – and loving each other very much throughout that.

    Summary

    Nadja couldn’t believe herself, swallowing her pride and trying to apologize to somebody who works for her, when she might as well have just ignored the way they felt and carry on with more orders but some odd force made her really want to make this right. Therefore, she inhaled a sharp breath she didn’t need and braced herself.
    “I do appreciate you,” she admitted, twisting her lips in a half-smile, half-grimace, “And I apologize for acting otherwise.”

     

    The Guide and Nadja have things to talk through together. Also, maybe a little underlying feelings to address.

    Summary

    Centuries passed and she still was the same girl, not even half a century old, falling down on the ground, worn down from running. Her knees felt sore as they hit the stone bricks and she looked up at the moon. Forever unchanged, just like her in that moment.

     

    Three times Nadja was mindlessly running away and the one time she was forced to stay.

    Summary

    They went hand in hand, headed towards the escalator, silent until they stepped onto the machine and Nadja spoke:

    “I apologize for interrupting your internal turmoil or whatever this is about,” she vaguely gestured and adjusted her dress, “But you need to find me some succulent virgins by Saturday evening. I have invited Viago over, so I should provide dinner.”

     

    Guillermo and Nadja take over London. Actually, mostly just talk, watch Drag Race and muster up the courage to write a postcard home.

    Summary

    It was all fun up to until a moment ago, when Itadori put a finger on his chin and pushed his peanut-sized brain to make up a question that will corner his friend. And as it turned out, he hit the mark, asking Kugisaki, “Do you have a crush on anyone? If so, who is it?”

    Seasons shift and so does their relationship. To think that it all started with a damned game of spin the bottle.

    Summary

    “Americano, two shots of espresso,” his plump lips covered in a dark shade of lipstick shifted as he spoke.

    The man behind the counter nodded. God, it was bad. He wasn’t even going to have small talk, let alone anything beyond that, “Good morning. And your name?”

    “Abbacchio.”

     

    A café, a fair-haired stranger in a black leather coat and Bucciarati's genius (sort of) plan.
