    Summary

    He does not know how she left her guarded chambers, though her charm has gotten her everywhere else before, and he does not know why she is here. But when she sits beside him and grabs his sponge, his chest constricts further, caving in itself, and he wills himself to simply admire and obsess. Not love.

    He is mostly sure love is nothing but the death of duty.
     

    or: five moments where Criston aches

    Summary

    She sees it play out in her head like a chess match – she will tell him a secret, he will grip her wrist and they will call the dinner short, share a cab because it is the only sensible thing to do, and in the end, he will stand with her at the door to her apartment with nothing to stop them then. Checkmate.

    Summary

    He strokes her hair until all he can hear is her heavy breathing, wonders how much a single breath can change your entire life, wonders how she survived losing someone she loved whilst he isn’t sure he could survive losing her. He forces himself to remain awake for a few more seconds as her breathing lulls him to sleep and, finally, wraps an arm around her and succumbs to the reality – she is here, she is here, she is here. She is here.

    Summary

    A hideous feeling of self-pity grips her in a vice, and she welcomes the worry like a fire licking her wounds. And just like that, she understands fire again. And Ressler.

    Summary

    (“If you show,” she says in passing, knowing it could be mistaken for an inner rambling, vain words, knows it won’t, not with him.
    “They won’t wonder?” he chuckles, and it’s a game, really, always has been.)

    Summary

    Fabio starts counting the inches between them when a ruler is too thick to slide between the crooks of their elbows and the bones on their hips. 5, 4, 3, he mouths, and Cristiano bumps into him, and he feels something unreasonably strong scrapping at his knee, the back of his head, his lower back.

    Summary

    The stranger frowns, and Steven catches it, but he’s not looking- not looking- “Do you not see, father?” his mouth is barely opening, the words languid and dragging, and Steven’s heart is pumping enough blood for the white to stain. “My goal has never been to hurt you. I’m trying to save you.” Steven is a priest and Xabi is a sinner (of sorts).
