    Also called canopy disengagement, canopy shyness, or intercrown spacing, crown shyness is a phenomenon observed in some tree species, in which the crowns of fully stocked trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps. The phenomenon is most prevalent among trees of the same species, but also occurs between trees of different species.

    Essentially, this is my very pretentious way of having Romano fucked stupid by both Iberians.

    Summary

    It’s with Zoey sandwiched between them, doe eyes shining as she hums new rhythms and talks about her life back in America, that Baby and Mystery realise the current human world is very different from the world they grew up in before becoming demons. Times have changed, and that’s a good thing.

    Not always, though.

    Or, demons can devour things other than souls.

    Summary

    Sneaking into Penelope Featherington's bedroom just before midnight was certainly outside the bounds of propriety; Colin knew that. But he was more concerned for his dear friend's health. She'd been struck down by a mysterious illness, and the ton was ablaze with rumours.

    Colin just had to be sure she was well.

    Or: Sex Pollen? Sex Polin.

    Summary

    "If it were solely up to you, our wedding would be a two minute civil ceremony, and then you'd forbid me from ever mentioning it to anyone," Antonio teases.

    "You forget that I've never actually agreed to marry you in the first place," Lovino mutters.

    Summary

    “I’m dying,” she states. As steady as she can.

    Waits.

    Waits.

    Waits.

    “Then go,” Jooik responds. “Instead of complaining my ear off, just go home,” he continues.

    Summary

    It’s still new to him; four months is an eternity for humans, perhaps, but perspective has shortened and condensed time into a coiled thing, folding over on itself until the entire stretch of it is thin as parchment. Four months is the blink of an eye. And the fighting has not stopped since he set foot upon that little island kingdom; he hasn’t had time to truly process it all.

    That Romano is his now. That they are together. That every morning he will wake up and Romano will be here, and that every night Romano will be asleep in this bed. It still seems like the far-fetched dream Pedro had cooked up in hushed tones, away from the menacing glares of el Papa. Spain is convinced, somehow, that if he blinks, reality will throw its punch and he’ll be back in Palermo, crushed under that damned France’s boot.

    In 1282, King Peter III of Aragon is crowned King of Sicily.
