    Summary

    Often, roses prick when you try to pick them. For the simple reason that people are attracted by their beauty, and their only way of protecting themselves involves causing harm, even to those who are dear to them. The thorns of Rosier, or the story of Evan Rosier's life, where he always always thought he would be spared from such consequences.

    Summary

    “Pick a card - any card.”

    The first time he did it, you watched out of pure curiosity. This man, Daniel Atlas, was one of the greatest (he would arguably say the greatest) magicians to ever exist. Yet, watching him perform a simple card trick had you engaged much more than an extravagant heist. You made the assumption that this was due to the attention that he had given you, emphasising that it was only the two of you in the room - no screaming crowd, no crazed fans, just you and him.

    The second time he did it, you watched to figure out how. You tried to spot any mistakes. Undoubtedly, you were unsuccessful; which he continued to brag about. You, in turn, urged him to do it again.

    The third time he did it, you were horny as fuck.

    Summary

    “Who is Art Donaldson to you?”

    Patrick thinks for a long time, not debating on the answer as much as he is wondering if he should tell the truth.

    After a minute, he makes a choice.

    "I think he’s the only person I’ve ever truly loved."

     

    --Or--

     

    It's 2014, New York. Patrick Zweig is a current board member of Zweig Media Co. and a freelance commercial artist producing illustrations and paintings for advertisements, magazine covers, books, and galleries under the name Charles Beach.

    Art Donaldson is his muse, a heterochromia-eyed blonde who appears in every sports campaign and suits ad. He is eye-catching with an inherent air of mystery shrouding his multifaceted expressions, a perfect case study for any illustrator, a snapshot of a dream drawn on paper.

    He is perfect in any way—with one exception: Art doesn’t exist.

    That is, until he does.

    Summary

    It was after the game, and Patrick was looking at Art. It was thirteen years ago, and Patrick was looking at Art. It was a lifetime ago and it was right now and then and every time in between all at once, and Patrick was looking at Art, and Art wasn’t looking at him.

    Summary

    Art laughs. “You seem to know a lot.”
    “About you anyway.”
    He gives her another lopsided grin, and then pops a grape into his mouth. “I sure am lucky to have a friend like you, aren’t I?”
    Tashi grimaces back, wondering vaguely if she’s become the first woman to ever be friend-zoned by her husband.

    ----------
    Art Donaldson falls at practice. Everything's fine, except he hit his head. Everything's fine, except he seems to have forgotten he's married to Tashi. That for some reason he thinks Patrick is his husband instead.
