Summary
“Hugo.” Lycaon doesn’t even have the decency to sound winded, although it means the frustration is all the more obvious in his voice. He stops several paces away, further than their usual preference, obviously wary of spooking Hugo into fleeing once more. “Stop fucking running.”
“I already stopped,” Hugo points out. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t even be able to catch my shadow.”
Lycaon’s eyes flash with ire, but after a moment, he backs down. When he speaks again, the previous hesitance is back. “Then… can we talk?”
“What’s there to talk about?” Hugo says. “Jack was very clear. He doesn’t trust me. And you obviously agree.”
“I do trust you—”
“Because your silence was so convincing.”
Lycaon opens his mouth, but no words emerge.
Hugo smiles. It feels overstretched on his lips, stiff and unnatural. “Like so,” he says softly, and takes a step backward.
(A canon divergence story set during Hugo and Lycaon's youth, in which Hugo overhears the entire conversation between Jack and Lycaon in that small attic.
Only this time, Lycaon realizes that Hugo was there, and that he heard everything).

Summary
Phainon thought he had it handled. A world-class detective thought otherwise. Tension snaps, walls get redecorated, and the night ends in legal blackmail dressed like a love confession. Somewhere between flight and fight, Phainon finds himself choosing option three: bitter, reluctant applause.
Moral of the story: If you’re going to stalk someone, make sure they aren’t better at it.

Summary
He wishes he could blame the prosthetics for his change of course.
Like a moth to a flame, like rain to the earth, Lycaon has always been drawn to the force of Hugo Vlad. Go figure.

Summary
He clinks the cup on its quivering tray. But he had not set the cup down so brusquely; but no earthquake claims the Matoba clan head where a youkai could not prevail. It’s his hand on the tray’s edge, struck by a tremor.
Seiji steals it away inside in his kimono. It is black. The Matoba’s color. The color of a groom. The color of a lizard skittering across a hand, up the arm, to a face that does not want to see his.
He opens his mouth. “I have to—”
Beget a worthy heir, as many tries as it takes. Teach him—it must be a him—to wield a bow and arrow, to enunciate spells so resoundingly that they reach the gods, to chop up his heart and eat it before their enemies can. Balance that with leading the clan; with having a wife, a stranger in his room bearing more than his name.
He has to let go of everything that would impede the Matoba legacy, transcending one man’s wants. He has to marry her.
More than the sake rises up Seiji’s throat.
