    Summary

    Idly, Ferdinand figures this is where he should regret pushing Hubert out of the way, but he thinks it would be an even worse fate to watch this happen to someone that he—

    With a final, desperate burst, Ferdinand’s heart rocks his entire body, a pulse of warmth spiraling out from his chest and sparking along his nerves. Then, the cavity of Ferdinand’s chest falls completely still.

    Summary

    Lighter & Leitner is not the campus bookstore. Tim Stoker is well aware of that, thank you very much. It sits near enough to campus that one might be mistaken, if they had not yet walked onto campus and witnessed the three story Waterstones directly next to the student affairs building, but Tim has been here for two and a half years, now, working desperately on a neverending PhD, and he knows the little hole in the wall bookshop across the street from his favorite coffee shop isn’t where students are supposed to buy their books. 

    So why Professor Elias Bouchard has sent him there on an errand with a list of course reserves to request they set aside for students in his upper-level Philosophy course, Tim could not even begin to tell you.

     

    or: grad student Tim is Elias' TA, Jon and Gerard run a used bookshop, and everything is about to go very much to hell in a handbasket

    Summary

    Jon hadn’t anticipated just how quiet it would be at Daisy’s cottage. He definitely hadn’t anticipated how that quiet settles something inside of him, like balm on an injury he didn’t know he had. He’d thought the lack of human presence would make him more aware of the loss still sitting in the pit of his stomach, heavy and solid, but it’s … it’s nice to have the space to process things. To know that he’s currently alone by choice, not by happenstance, and that he has the freedom to just be. Jon lets the solitude envelop him like a weighted blanket, warm and comfortable and safe.

    It’s a few days later when he first meets the man who pets the cows.

    .

    Following the loss of his grandmother, Jon takes a sabbatical and moves up to northern Scotland to stay in Daisy's cabin and study the religious culture of the village near it. There, he meets Martin, his apparent and unwanted neighbor who makes odd jokes and seems to exist solely to ruin Jon's attempts at finally getting some peace and quiet. But as Jon spends more time with Martin, he begins to warm up to him and, as time goes on, to fall in love with him.

    It just takes him a bit to realize that the man he's fallen in love with is a god.

    Summary

    Jon spends his two free hours in the middle of the day in a little half-desk, half-cubicle in the far corner of the fourth floor of the main library, right next to a wall of large windows overlooking one of the student garages. The area is so secluded that Jon is pretty sure most people think the fourth floor of the main library ends about two shelves over. Well, at least everyone but the student that’s started to sit in the desk pressed against the back of his.

    Summary

    Martin finds them eventually, tapered white wax, twenty or thirty of them beside a box of ancient (but dry) matches, and a little brass dish with a slot that just about fits the base of the candle. He feels like Scrooge, fitting the whole thing together, tucking a few more into his pocket before striking a match -

    Which immediately goes out.

    “Oh, fuck you,” Martin says into the murk.

    Again -

    And again, the fire vanishes. Quick and efficient as a breath. He shivers in the sudden cold.

    ***

    Martin Blackwood inherits an old country house, but there are more inhabitants than he first realises. When eventually the paranormal occurrences become too frequent and dangerous for him to ignore, he has to turn to a group of misfit ghost hunters for help.

    Summary

    “Have you got anywhere to stay?” Jon asks him, briskly. “Friends, acquaintances, maybe, who you could stay with…?”

    Martin flushes, deeply. “I, I mean— n-no, not really,” he stammers, and then goes even redder. “Or, just, y’know not that I’d want to, to. Put in the middle of this. Put in danger of, of worms.”

    “Ah,” Jon says, “No, of course, that makes sense.” Why drag anyone else into this mess? Seven people died during Prentiss’s initial hospitalization; the collateral damage of roping someone from outside the Institute into her orbit doesn’t bare thinking about. “In that case…” Jon feels like there’s some alternative solution, one he’s just not thinking of at the moment, but it evades him, and Martin needs somewhere safe to stay. “My couch is quite comfortable. You’re welcome to come and stay with me until you figure something else out.”

     

    Martin is held hostage by Jane Prentiss for two weeks, and can't go back to his flat. Jon offers him a place to stay until Prentiss and her worms can be dealt with, and they can be sure he's safe.

    Summary

    “If this is a crazy Helioic cult, wouldn’t it have been better to find some nice lady spy to come with you? Or literally any one of our female friends?”

    “Adaine’s too recognizable, Fig’s taken, and Kristen has a mullet.” Riz ticks them off on his fingers. “Besides, having a male partner makes me an outsider. It gives them something to sink their teeth into.”

    “I see,” Fabian says with a grin, “I’m bait.”

    “You’re not bait.”

    “I’m set dressing,” Fabian amends, taking another slice of pizza. “I’m honored.”

    [OR Riz is tasked with taking down a cult from the inside, and Fabian is along for the ride.]

    Summary

    (I’m petrified of this power you hold over me. Humans were not meant to love like a necromancer— to love as though you are controlling the very bones in my body, rebirthing me from a soil that I had not known I was buried in.)

    “You owe it to us, to tell me what’s going on,” Vi murmurs, and Caitlyn trembles in her hold.

    “If I say it,” Caitlyn says, and feels the regret building already, the way sediment builds on banks. “If I say it, then it becomes real. And I don’t— I want us to work, Violet. Fucking hell, please don’t make say it.”

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a simple favor. One little thing that would blow over in a week.

    What it was not supposed to be was the start of a massive snowball of events ending in something so clichè that it almost felt unbelievable.

    Though, Yosuke wasn’t exactly complaining.

    Summary

    “You should’ve taken your clothes off earlier.” Albedo mumbles, before he starts applying soothing cream. “The fabric rubbing on made it worse.”

    “While I know many people would’ve enjoyed that, I do prefer staying decently dressed, thank you very much !”

    “You already walk around with your shirt wide open.”

    “That—only the top two buttons ! A little eye candy never hurt anyone.”

     

    (It's the evening of a long day, and Albedo finds himself patching up a certain cavalry captain in more ways than one)
