    Summary

    Oh, how much can change in four months.

    There, bent over Caterina’s bedside, a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles slipping down the bridge of his nose, is Emmrich. He looks up at the sound of the door, those bright hazel eyes reflecting nearby candlelight. Surprise widens his gaze, but in an instant, as recognition takes hold, every feature softens. He smiles for Lucanis and it’s so good to see that Lucanis’ knees grow watery beneath his weight, threatening to give out entirely. He could weep for relief at the sight. That near-need to collapse morphs quickly into something else as Lucanis’ leg muscles twitch, convulsing with a sudden urge to run toward Emmrich, a jerky start and stop motion, a single, stumbling step. His heart leaps and Lucanis suddenly can’t breathe.

    Summary

    Rook is a blank. Rook is a question mark. Rook doesn't talk about himself.

    Yeah, well. Maybe a Shadow Dragon has more than a few reasons to seem as boring as possible. Between the Venatori, the Elven Gods, and Solas there are enough eyes on Evariste Mercar to make a whole new kind of demon. What they would do if they knew the real Evariste...is something he never intends to find out. So, he keeps the team at arm's length.

    How chasing some tight Antivan tail fits into that plan is anyone's guess. Evariste can't help himself. They leave each other notes, it's sweet, it feels real. There's a certain charm in pitching woo at a man who can't seem to catch it with both hands and a net.

    But, Lucanis wants to know the real Evariste, too, and he's not looking away. If they keep going, they may both wish he had.

    Summary

    Same old Quin. He doesn’t know why he doubted him. It’s only been three days since Ashur’s been back playing, back after recovering from a broken ankle after he whiffed a landing doing parkour. He chuckles at Tarquin’s chirp, spraying a bit of water at him playfully. Ashur missed being on the ice — missed seeing Tarquin be an absolute hellion against their opponents.

    “Aw, come on now. There’re better ways to get me wet, Viper.”
