    Summary

    It turns out, there's no more imaginative torturer than your own mind.

    Almost no one escapes on their own.

    But how can you trust a stranger in hell?

    -

    In Andrew's defense, I don't know what this is either.

    Summary

    Andrew is looking to live his life in peaceful nothingness, but his new neighbor's cat won't stop sneaking onto his balcony. As much as he tries to not make it into something, Andrew finds himself drawn to the mysterious and tempting man next door.

    Neil is just trying to find a reason to not leave Palmetto after everyone else has moved on. But he never thought he would want to run toward something in favor of running away.

    (In a slightly different world, two people find themselves meeting in a softer setting and in just as much need of each other. A story about dealing with pasts, sharing secrets and a cat who is an asshole yet manages to charm everyone around it.)

    Summary

    Exchanging gifts was one thing. Naming this unknowable thing between them... That was something else entirely.

    The war was over, yet it hadn't gone unnoticed by Ferdinand that Hubert was disappearing for weeks on end, reluctant to tell him where he was going and why.

    That is until Ferdinand and Hubert are abducted, locked away in a mysterious stronghold, and Hubert is forced to tell Ferdinand everything about their cruel captors. The deplorable history of Those Who Slither In the Dark.

    Imprisoned together and facing their imminent deaths, what walls remain between them crumble, and for the first time in their lives Hubert and Ferdinand find themselves fighting for more than just the Empire.

    "You cannot possibly grasp the importance of what I am doing. You would understand, fully, if you were in possession of all of the facts.”

    Ferdinand sighed and sat down on the chair opposite him. “And the fact that I am not, whose fault is that?”
