    Summary

    Caesura 𝄓 a brief, silent pause, during which metrical time is not counted.


    In a river of harmonious lines, you are the sole counterpoint. You are not part of the melody or the harmony; you are something else entirely.

    You are the silence that swallows up the music altogether.

    or; an ivan character study in music terms.

    Summary

    “So, remind me why I’m here again?” Sua grumbles. 

    “Because you’re the best cousin in the world, obviously,” Ivan singsongs, far too giddy at the prospect of checking off this particular item on his bucket list. It had taken the better part of the last month and a rather hefty bribe to convince her to do this for him, but it was going to be so worth the cost.

    What was “this,” one might ask? Well… Ivan was planning on popping out of one of the closets in IKEA whilst shouting “For Narnia!” and he needed someone to record it for him.

    Summary

    The touches at Ivan’s waist become more blatant; he’s openly feeling him up now, hand curved around the small of Ivan’s back. During one of those times he leans up to murmur into Ivan’s ear, “All that talk about my waist being ‘deliciously grabbable,’ but you’re not so bad yourself.”

    Ivan makes a— noise, from the back of his throat. Till wonders what it would take to pull more of those noises out of him. He resolutely ignores how his own face grows warm at the sound.

    or; till gains the upper hand for once.

    Summary

    Ivan pulls up to the school on a fucking motorcycle. Till is going to kill him.

    He’s the weird emo loner at school, occasionally gets picked on, and constantly daydreaming in class because there’s a new song floating through his head. He’s trying to start his own band, but, well, there weren’t many people interested in this to begin with, let alone passionate enough to actually do something about it.

    And then he met Ivan.

    Summary

    Ivan is a terrible seatmate, no matter what anyone else says. Till refuses to believe that this girl is capable of being a decent, respectable stand partner when this is the third time she’s “accidentally” poked Till with her bow. And they're not even actual stand partners!

    “What,” Till hisses under her breath. Ivan just smiles that terrible, good-for-nothing, cute shit-eating grin at her.

    Summary

    They say that you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone; Till had always scoffed at such romantic notions, because people are first and foremost selfish greedy bastards, and Till is no exception.

    He didn’t think that losing Ivan would do this to him, though.

    Summary

    In the next few weeks he learns who he once was. Ivan. Male. 186 cm. 78 kg. Graduated in ANAKT Garden’s 50th class. Likes: classic literature. Dislikes: ignorance and rudeness. Talent: sparking flames from stones. Top 3 performer on Alien Stage. Was eliminated in Round 6.

    It is strange, seeing his face reflected in all those files he was handed, referred to as Ivan. He has seen himself in a mirror before; they are almost identical, even down to the snaggletooth. But the Ivan of before… there is a vacancy in his eyes that the clone cannot seem to replicate.

    Slowly, he reconciles who he once was and his current existence, enough that Ivan as a self-referential is not too jarring in his head.

    Summary

    “I need to set up a meeting with you. There’s still a really important, unresolved issue.” Sua says without preamble.

    Ah. That. The very important, unresolved issue is naked and writhing under his hands right now, flushed beautifully and covered in his marks as Ivan fucks him. Despite the interruption, Ivan doesn't pause, just continues thrusting into Till with a casual disregard for whoever is on the other end. She already knows that they’re sleeping together anyway.

    Summary

    At some point, the tension running between them had snapped and Ivan found himself tumbling into bed with Till. That first time, he’d been the one writhing beneath Till’s clumsy, desperate touches. But he’d been just as inexperienced then. Now, he can barely remember that first moment of ecstasy. He’s come apart more times than he count from the roughness of Till’s callused fingertips on his skin, from the sight and sounds of Till losing himself to pleasure both given and received.

    Summary

    Till smacks him across the face with his pistol. Hard. Ivan’s head snaps violently to the left, red blooming fast across his cheek. He coughs a few times, blood dripping from his lips. Inexplicably, Till has the urge to lick it off.

    When Ivan regains his breath, he rasps out, “I see your violent tendencies remain just as strong as ever.”

    Summary

    After, Till flops over on Ivan’s bed and stares up at the ceiling, contemplating every single life decision he has ever made up until now, because what the fuck.

    or; till makes some ill-advised decisions (like sleeping with his best friend) but figures out some other things (like his feelings towards said best friend) along the way.

    Summary

    It has always been those falling stars for him. When he was younger he fought tooth and nail for survival, for a glimpse of the sky above him, until that moment on the rooftops and his life was changed forever. Now, he chases after Till’s eyes on him, lit up with all his hopes and fears and love that cannot be suppressed, no matter how much they try to beat it out of him.

    Ivan observes Till, the others, and himself.

    Summary

    After rehearsal, Jing Yuan storms into Jingliu’s office.

    “I can’t believe that’s our guest soloist. He is so unprofessional and annoying, why did you pick him?! He–”

    Jingliu looks up from her score in amusement. “Jing Yuan, I didn’t realize you cared so much.”

    “Of course I care, I’m the concertmaster. It’s my job to ensure a smooth-running orchestra so you can conduct in peace.” Jing Yuan rolls his eyes.

    Jingliu sighs. “I owed a favor to the conductor of the Zhuming orchestra, so she wanted her concertmaster to guest perform at one of our concerts. Play nice, Yingxing is a very talented violinist. You would do well to get along.”

    “With that attitude? There’s no way I’d ever get along with someone like him. He’s so arrogant and annoying!”

    Baiheng, the assistant conductor of the orchestra, pops her head into the room. “Sounds like he’s exactly your type then, Jing Yuan.”

    the guest soloist of the season is the most beautiful and insufferable person jing yuan has ever met. and yet, he finds himself coming back again and again.

    Summary

    In the blue-black light of the twilight sky streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, faintly illuminated by the moon, his white robes stand out. The brightest thing in the room, and yet he does not look out of place. Rather, the light softly curls around him, the folds and dips of his clothes in gentle shadow, outlining his lithe figure, his arms bound behind his back. He waits with bated breath, his chest rising and falling shallowly as the anticipation builds. Every rustle of fabric reverberates in the silence of the room.

    Blade wants to ruin him.

    a moment stolen out of their long history.
