    Summary

    Floyd Leech is not usually the type of person who stays interested in one thing for long—for a lifetime, even.

    He has never been good at staying.

    But love, Floyd learns is staying anyway. It does not need grand declarations or carefully chosen words. Sometimes it is simply showing up, again and again, even when it would be easier not to.

    PEAK TAKE ON FLOYD’S CHARACTER I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE CHARACTERIZE HIM PROPERLY WITH NUANCE AND YYERRAHHRHHSHVA. I love Floyd and also Riddle. How many florid fics have I saved at this point? Like too many.

    Lovely characterization and drew comparisons between Ruggie and Kalim that I’ve never even considered before

    Summary

    In some curious, disillusioned way, Kalim was like a birthmark to him. A little reminder that he was loved, a little bird that spurred him to keep waking up in the mornings, a little drop of sunlight to keep him warm, another little reason to smile.

    A little someone he wanted to at least try to aim for forever with.

    But for now, Ruggie grinned. “So now I have three hearts.” He tapped a finger to his chest. “One here.” He tapped his elbow next. “Another one here.”

    Then he leaned forward to boop Kalim’s nose. “And my favourite one right here.”

     

    — it’s a lazy free period together, and kalim spots a birthmark on ruggie’s elbow.

    Summary

    Riddle had a soulmate. This wasn't exactly a shocking revelation to him, just a fact of life. If you lost an item, it went to your soulmate or, alternatively, if you found a random item, it came from your soulmate. His soulmate lost things, frequently, but Riddle was careful with his things. Until he wasn't.

    Summary

    Night Raven College prides itself on being comprehensive.

    In practice, that means space is limited, attention is divided, and excellence must justify its own existence.
    Riddle Rosehearts understands this better than most. As Heartslabyul’s housewarden and one of NRC’s most current disciplined figure skaters, he believes in structure, restraint, and the quiet authority of clean execution. The ice, at least, responds honestly to effort. Judges, audiences, and other departments are less predictable.

    When a not-so official evaluation program held at night draws skaters from across the dorms, Octavinelle participates in a way no one anticipates.

    Or, a figure skating au that centers around Riddle in a institution that values academics and different forms of discipline.
