    Summary

    "Il mio travestimento, intende?" Manuel allarga le braccia come per mostrare il suo costume. Il viso dello sconosciuto si abbassa appena, mentre lo squadra dalla punta degli stivali fino alla maschera scura sul naso di Manuel.

    "Qualcosa mi dice che lo spirito ribelle di un pirata vi si addice più di quanto non si addica a me," gli risponde, e Manuel sorride. Il suo interlocutore non ha idea di quanto abbia ragione. Il semplice atto di essere lì, in mezzo a tutta la nobiltà romana, lo rende abbastanza ribelle; nemmeno si domanda cosa penserebbe il Conte a vederlo in quegli atteggiamenti con uno sconosciuto, o cosa ne penserebbe la Contessa Villa, o—Dio non voglia—Jacopo Balestra.

    ***

    Manuel vive da un mese e mezzo nella tenuta del Duca Nicola Brandi, dopo aver scoperto di essere suo figlio illegittimo ed essere stato preso sotto la sua ala come suo protetto. Dopo anni passati ad occuparsi dei giardini di Villa Balestra e a interfacciarsi con il Conte Dante e suo figlio Jacopo, la differenza è lampante; ma non è abbastanza da distrarlo dal pensiero del ragazzo mascherato conosciuto il giorno prima che la sua vita venisse stravolta.

    Summary

    “Atsushi-kun has a sugar daddy,” Dazai mumbles, teetering between betrayal and crazy. “I can’t believe that Akutagawa-kun just chucked his Port Mafia salary to your face!”

    “Quite literally,” Atsushi insists, rubbing at the still-reddened space on his forehead, where Akutagawa’s wallet has practically imprinted itself. “I still think he was trying to kill me.”

    A sigh. “The pinnacle of romance.”

    “Dazai-san!”

    [or, the one where atsushi & akutagawa navigate living together]

    Summary

    All Azula wants is for things to go back to the way they were – her father on the precipice of conquering the world, her own position secure at his right hand. Now, the only secure thing is her, trapped in a gilded cage in her brother's new Fire Nation. Lonely and adrift, Azula would do anything to make it end, until an unexpected connection rekindles a light she long-thought had burned to ashes. But falling for Suki isn't something Azula can let herself do, especially with the world as they know it threatening to crumble around them.

     

    Or: Azula goes to therapy, has an identity crisis, stops actively trying to kill her brother, makes a few friends, and falls in love along the way.

    When Tighnari arrives at the Akademiya, the first piece of wisdom he receives from his fellow scholars is: do not upset the General Mahamatra. Do not even speak his name.

    Summary

    “What now,” he sighs, looking at the sleeve. It’s just a sleeve. Why are there whispers rising and two of his idiot family members trying to out-whisper each other?

    It’s just a sleeve, he would mournfully recall later.

    That would help, if there was a sleeve to dispute facts over.

     What was meant to be a complete sleeve, though unbound by his arm guards, ought to have been there. But only a cleanly sliced fragment of a sleeve hangs, incriminating, loudly enough that he can hear the repercussions of such attire beating him over the eyes with their fluttered fans of gossip.

    Oh for heaven’s sake -

    Everything is still in disarray, and made worse by Nie Huaisang entering, fluttering a triangle of a cut sleeve, an identical fit to the missing portion of Jiang Cheng’s loud exhibition of such behaviour.
