    Summary

    Illuga has been getting sick. Not in the usual way, like the winter cold he might come down with from the chill and taxation of being constantly out in the dead of Nod Krai's night. It is something else, something different. Growing inside of him, instead of spreading like an illness should. He thinks he knows what it is.

    As it continues to ail him, he will pretend it has nothing to do with his long-standing, buried affection for his friend and fellow Lightkeeper, Flins. For as long as he physically can.

    Summary

    “Whatever’s bothering you, I’m all ears. Sounds like you need it off your chest,” Varka coaxes. “I’ve been told—”

    “People keep flirting with Flins, and it’s pissing me off,” Illuga blurts, then immediately covers his face with his free hand. Mortification bolts through him, warming his body to the tip of his ears.

    Varka pauses, and when Illuga risks a peek, the Grand Master has his jaw dropped open. He looks less like his esteemed title and more like a school girl hearing gossip. Delight nearly radiates from him. “This is the best day of my life,” he says, and Illuga begs the Moon Goddess to grant him death.

    Illuga can't stand people flirting with Flins. Varka makes a decent (but definitely not recommended) therapist.

    Summary

    ‘You seem starved, Illuga,’ the fae purred. Even though he looked completely smitten, he kept dodging all attempts of another passionate makeout.
    ‘I haven't seen you in a month!’ Illuga finally snapped. He tried to turn around and climb into Flins’s lap but the man grabbed his thigh and held him back with that impossible fae strength of his. ‘Damn it, just let me kiss you already!’
    ‘Have some patience, dear young master.’ Flins appeared to be greatly enjoying the situation, even patting the shorter man's head with pretend condescension that made Illuga growl. ‘If you spend a little more time in this garden, you'll find that late flowers bloom the most generously out of all.’

    Half a year has passed since their first meeting and contract. Illuga continues visiting Sir Flins every month but keeps the nature of their relationship a secret from the other Lightkeepers and Nikita. The fae naturally uses this and the captain's impatience as a tool to render him a sweaty, crying mess.

    Summary

    “Please help me with my heat.”
    “My… so bold. In my culture, we have to start with courting.”
    “No time for that, alpha. Serve your purpose,” Illuga said. Short, demanding, and way too close.
    And lord, was that hot.

    Flins was conveniently in the right place at the right time to help with Illuga's heat, so he stepped up and took the role.
