Summary
“You enjoy teasing me, don’t you, Mr. Flins?”
“A favorite pastime of mine, I must say.”
Illuga gives Flins a dry side-eye. The expression softens soon after, however. “Then care to make a wager?”
“Let’s see who can fluster the other first.”

Summary
Columbina tilts her head. “Has it had any physical effects? Please indulge my lack of sight.”
Illuga frowns. “I don’t have any scars from the Hunter now, if that’s what you mean,” he says. “It’s as if I’d never been attacked in the first place.”
Aether’s hand hesitantly lands on Illuga’s shoulder. “I didn’t want to stress you out more until we could talk to Columbina, but now that we’re here, you should probably look at your reflection,” he says quietly, carefully.
His body stiffens in an instant, and that feeling of wrong, wrong, wrong hits him again full force. He steps out from under Aether’s touch and staggers on autopilot toward the closest pool of water. Illuga crouches down at the edge, pushing his fingers into his hair for some sort of grounding as he leans forward, lantern knocking against his thigh. He catches sight of his reflection, and his world tilts on its axis.
Illuga comes back from the dead more than human.

Summary
Illuga moved, his body having made the decision even though his conscious mind hadn’t caught up yet. He pushed Flins out of the way and felt the lance stab him in the heart through his back.
Strange, how that was almost painless. Perhaps his brain simply didn’t catch up yet. Perhaps it simply blocked away the pain. Either way, it was a small mercy. Slamming into the sand was hilariously more painful than the stab itself.Illuga took up an attack that would have injured Flins, nearly dying in the process because of the Abyssal corruption that took over. Flins refused to let that happen, even if the method to save Illuga wasn’t something he was proud of.

Summary
Illuga’s new job was supposed to be simple. Show up to work, make sure no one questions his status as the boss’s son, prove claims of nepotism wrong and work your absolute best. Well, it was simple until he saw the hot stranger whose body he had spent the entirety of last night familiarizing himself with, in front of him, talking to his father.
Well fuck. That wasn’t the plan at all.
In Illuga’s defence, if we speak about the semantics, he didn’t technically plan to sleep with the hot stranger from the bar last night. Just as he didn’t technically plan for that same stranger to stroll into his new job with a condescending smile, a penchant for false niceties and a badge reading— Supervising Director, Yours Truly, Illuga’s fucking downfall (creative liberties taken for story telling purposes)— but here we are.
Hindsight’s a bitch. The top dog at the company was topping him last night. Ha. Ha. Ha. Infeffa would find it funny, if he survived long enough to tell her the tale that is.

Summary
"Flins-san, how do Fae have offspring?"
"You mean to say... that you wish for a child half Fae and half human with me? Bocchan, you truly are adorable. Honestly, who wouldn't get a heart attack when you say such sweet affectionate things?"
Illuga isn’t merely asking how Fae reproduce—he is asking Flins for something dangerously close to eternity. Somewhere amid hesitant confessions and heat creeping into his cheeks, longing begins to soften into something far more reckless.
Because love is one thing.
But wanting to leave a part of yourself behind within the one you love?
That is something else entirely.
