    Summary

    After the events that transpired at Gévaudan, Johann convinces Dante to play cupid with him and set Vanitas and Noé up together.

    And somehow that leads to Vanitas and Noé pretending to date for a mission. But intimacy and affection are a delicate waltz between the two and it was only a matter of time before their rhythm began to evolve. Salvation, love, justice... the world continues to press them to answer unanswerable questions.

    In other words...

    Summary

    Illuminated by delicate moonlight, Noé followed the curve of Vanitas's pale neck down to his lithe form. If he were an artist, he'd spend a lifetime trying to immortalize the moment. It would surely be his magnum opus. But, it wasn’t his features that Noé found himself drawn to capture. No, the likeness of Vanitas’s features was only a fracture of his allure-

    Instead, it was his expression that drew Noé in and wordlessly locked the door behind him.

    He was a fickle man. But Noé wouldn't leave. Their words spoken under a moonlit kiss.

    Summary

    “The words don’t change depending on who you are, my dear Archiviste. I think you may have a screw lose,” Vanitas says, airily.

    “The meaning does,” Noé explains and his words speed up, “Actually, I think a book can change every time you read it. You may notice something new about the scene or may understand something you didn’t before. Oh! And you may like a different character more the second time around.”

    Summary

    “But despite the biographies of all of these men, educating us on their legacies and the qualities that define them, separate from each other, every one of them is exactly the same. For I have yet to see an absence of the same mistaken logic proceeding from unjustified axioms, that if they delve into the layers of reality it will give up the true principles of this world. They struggle in this mission with unsatisfactory results; God allots them a finite time, circumscribed by the same ‘right-lined circle’ that marks the end.”

    Noé Archiviste meets an alchemist in the hopes of finding burial urns of generations long gone.
