Summary
And their feet move
Rhythmically, as tender
feet of Cretan girls
danced once around an
altar of love, crushing
a circle in the soft
smooth flowering grass
-SapphoMany years ago, Vespa Ilkay and Buddy Aurinko danced under the same stars. The years have gone on but the stars remain the same. Under the watchful eye of the universe, Vespa relearns the steps she has long forgotten with the help of an unlikely friend. The dance continues, different but just as lovely.

Summary
There is a garden of flowers that make up Peter Nureyev’s heart. It is overgrown with weeds, bugs, rot, and hurt. However, with the return of Juno Steel, an apology and a stupidly green thumb in tow, Nureyev finds it in himself to cultivate his garden once more. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start.
And if Juno gets a bouquet out of it, then that's nobody's business but their own.
A study of flower language, by Peter Nureyev.

Summary
He emerged from the bathroom, rubbing his neck awkwardly. “Nureyev…I think I need new clothes.”
Nureyev’s eyes lit up as soon as he said it. “Oh, Juno, those are words I never thought I’d hear. You’re absolutely right. All your old clothes are so tasteless and full of holes. I’d be happy to pick out some new outfits-”
Juno cleared his throat. “That’s not why.”
Nureyev frowned. “What do you mean?”
“I need new clothes because none of mine fit anymore.”

Summary
Juno leaned on a hand, watching him fondly. “You know, for a master thief, you’re not all that self-aware sometimes.”
He’d meant it as a gentle tease, but Nureyev immediately stiffened. “It’s not…I only allow myself to be distracted like that when I know that I’m somewhere safe. With someone safe.”
“And…I’m someone safe, then?”
The man reddened slightly and dropped his eyes back to his book. “Well, naturally.”
Juno couldn’t resist a smile, but there was also a quiet ache in his chest telling him that something wasn’t quite right about Nureyev’s explanation.
