    Summary

    “Floremesis,” the apothecary eventually muttered. He looked up, his expression pitying. “Flower petals; you’d best see a priest, lad. Nobody but God can help you.”

    A shock ran through Henry like a cold wind, drawing his attention with a snap of focus. “Flower petals?” he repeated incredulously, his throat suddenly dry. “What, like Mary Magdalene?”

    He’d never really believed the stories of saints and martyrs coughing up flowers. That was something that happened a thousand years ago, the words inked in Latin scripture on illuminated pages, not to now, not to him.

    Summary

    "Are you cold?" Henry asked.

    Without armor, in hose and gambeson, he was still an imposing figure: tall and broad, hands stained with dirt and blood, jaw stubbornly stiff. His bare feet were a shock of white in the dirt. He held his helm with both hands, embracing the metal into his belly. His hair was damp with sweat. There was another string of bruises on his throat, shaped like two wide thumbs.

    Hans looked away. The tunic around Henry's knee had darkened. Blood was trickling into the dirt.

    Hans kills a man, prepares for a wedding, and tries to do at least one thing right.

    (Or: five times Hans and Henry didn't share a bed, and one time they did.)

    Summary

    The guy at the bar next to him—the kid, he couldn't have been far past his teens—was wearing a garish white suit and white shoes. He had a straight nose and a jawline like a knife’s edge, long eyelashes and big, dark eyes. Majima looked him up and down and sneered. Leave some for the rest of us, would ya?

    Summary

    She’s born in Illinois but grows up in the California sun, knuckles bruised and bloody from the punching bag hung outside of their trailer. Allison Cameron claws her way out of the hot tarmac like a dandelion, roots of a flower ripped out by tire treads and future roadkill. She buries herself in textbooks, in other people’s smiles, in odd bets on losing dogs and in the stagnant water of a creek nearby.

    (Cameron-centric, set pre-Season 1. Cameron/Foreman.)

    Summary

    “Let’s get one thing straight,” Suguru says, his voice low and threatening, dark eyes glittering in the waning sunlight streaming through the windows. “I’m not doing this as a favor to you. I am doing this because you’re right about one thing and one thing only-- Megumi deserves better than a life with Limitless.”

    Suguru leans in close enough that Satoru can count his individual lashes. Satoru’s heart thunders in his chest, his limbs cold and useless where he sits.

    “And when all is said and done, I want you gone from my life. Permanently. I have worked too god damned hard to give my daughters some sense of normalcy, and if you fuck that up-- you will wish you’d stayed an agent. Are we clear, Satoru?”

    Satoru’s nod is the barest flicker of movement. Suguru releases him and steps back.

    “Good. Glad we understand each other.”

    Or: the one where a young Megumi is thrust upon Satoru and they go on a good old-fashioned American cross-country road trip about it.
