    Summary

    Naoi paused; she was reminded of something. She hesitated before removing two rectangular pieces of paper from her blazer pocket, slowly extending her arm to hold it out. “I did, though. I bought these with some money I took from my dad,” she lowered her voice, “He’s gonna kill me once he realizes he doesn’t have enough for drinking tonight.” She looked pleased with herself.

    Kurumi inched closer, studying the train tickets. “You didn’t pay for a return trip?”

    “We’ll figure out how to get back… one-way is cheaper. You’re willing to go? I was waiting to show you these till after school, but there’s a train that runs in about half an hour, and our tickets are valid for any time slot today.”

    Kurumi stood still.

    Leaning in, Naoi brought her lips close to the other girl’s ear. “Let’s run away together, Yoshizawa-san,” she whispered.

    Summary

    Killing a man together hadn't been the way to stitch themselves back together they had intended it to be. There had been no world to unite against after the crime; and all their fragile hopes had been reduced to Paul's hands around Julian's throat.

    Now they are stuck in a small apartment in a far away city and Paul stands no chance of being granted absolution.

    Or.
    They try to pick up the pieces of the trainwreck that is their relationship. With Paul, it never ends well.

    Summary

    To escape a blisteringly hot London, Ellwood asks Gaunt to Thornycroft Manor for the first week of July. Alas, pining is an equally uncomfortable and heated experience.

    Summary

    “The course of true love never did run smooth,” Ellwood says quietly, against his mouth.

    “Shakespeare,” Gaunt says. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

    Neither, it transpired, did healing.

    Or, roughly, five times Sidney couldn’t say I love you and one time he does.

    Summary

    After Loos, the Royal Kennet Fusiliers are sent back to the chateau. Ellwood leans on Hayes for strength as they settle into the room Ellwood and Gaunt shared for three weeks.

     

    “I had him for weeks in this bed,” Ellwood said mournfully. He touched his lips, as if he could conjure up the ghost of Gaunt’s kiss on demand.

    A hand landed on his shoulder. “If you need to talk about him, I can just listen.”

    It was a kind offer, and Ellwood was feeling too weak to refuse, the rush of memories swirling around the room, taunting him with what he’d had and been foolish enough to lose. He hadn’t told Henry he loved him until their lives were in utter peril, and even then, he’d expressed it in a cowardly way. He hadn’t said the words at all. And Henry had died never having expressed that he felt the same. Perhaps he hadn’t. There was no way to ever know what he might have said, if they’d both made it back to the dugout.

    Summary

    I spent a month or so working on this fic almost immediately after I finished These Violent Delights. Paul was my favorite character and I like to analyze his character in my spare time. I initially posted this on my Tumblr blog and now I'm posting it here! I hope that I've captured Paul as accurate as I could've because that was my main goal in writing this. I love how he's written and his misery aligns with how I write my own characters, so it was a nice, comfortable place to be in, I guess.

    I hope whoever comes across this enjoys it and has a wonderful day! My Tumblr is @mickstarz if you'd like to discuss the book or see what I've said about it or if you'd like to request another fic. Maybe I'll write some more. :)

    Summary

    If Julian had to describe it, it was the collapse of a supernova. Julian’s nightmares multiplied, all of them about disloyalty, infidelity. Not about Paul cheating on him, but the inverse. Paul would kill him - actually kill him - if they were real.

    So Julian found himself mourning in advance. He liked to indulge in the luxury of sadness with no catalyst; it couldn’t hurt him, not as harshly.

    Julian, with the sunken eyes of a racehorse and a heaving chest to match. The march of his heart was more like a stagger. Unable to do anything without it being an indulgence.

    His mind went on as he watched Paul: I am because of you. If you left, the world would cease to exist. I am defined by the things you do to me. The things we do to each other.

    Julian willed Paul to look up. And when he finally did, neither of them smiled.

    Summary

    “It was in that fragment of a heartbeat when they had exchanged a glance before Julian had handed the container to Stephanek that they had tied the red string of fate across each other's bodies, tying themselves so tightly to one another that nothing would ever be able to separate them again. They could leave each other, never cross paths again and pretend to forget what had happened in the span of that year, but they would still be forever intertwined by what had happened that Thanksgiving Eve in 1973. That had been the point, really. Mutual assured destruction.”

    aka what if paul hadn’t been able to attempt his murder\suicide plan, but julian had still understood what he was about to do?

    Summary

    "We can go anywhere."

    "Let's drive, until the chevy gives out someplace, and then we'll just- stay. Get a place. Jobs. Like people do."

    "You want to be people? Let's be people."

    "Yeah. Let's be them for a while."

     

    Paul Fleischer was not seen. Looked at, sure. Observed sometimes, if the occasion was unfortunate enough to call for it; But never seen. He couldn't afford it, not with the cards life had dealt him from the moment he was born, not with what he was born to be.

    That is until Julian Fromme. Beautiful, clever Julian.

    And what a relief that was, what a horror too―to finally be seen and known so perfectly.

    Or, alternatively, I finished reading These Violent Delights and happened to come across some Bones and All quotes (and I need to fill the void that book and its ending left)

    All Paul had ever wanted, for as long as he could remember, was to do something that mattered. Having been born fifty years into a centuries-long voyage, it was all but guaranteed that he never would.

    Summary

    It's unworthy of you to be acting half-witted like the rest of them, he could say now, as he would have during their first days together. He could praise him in the same breath he could be derogatory. The words die in his throat anyhow.

    Summary

    “Staying with you hurts,” Paul says, hand still splayed on Julian’s chest. Their heartbeats don’t line up, especially not their breathing, not with Julian’s bad lung, and perhaps nothing ever had. Julian would cry, maybe, if he weren’t so fucking tired. He stills instead.

    It’s like he’s never known air all his life. He can be bloodless and Paul can be weak.

    “So tell me to leave.”

    Julian just wants to love Paul. It never ends well.
