    Summary

    “If we’re quiet…” Louis began after catching Lestat alone with a gentle hand at his elbow, the sound of Claudia causing a ruckus as she prepared for bed upstairs above them.

    The answering heat in Lestat’s gaze killed the follow-up before Louis could give it voice.

    “As the grave.”

    or: during episode four, Lestat and Louis experience a dry spell as a result of Claudia sleeping in their room, and then they don't.

    Summary

    [“Eat,” Felix says. “Or I’ll shove it in your mouth myself.”

    Unbidden, Dimitri imagines: Felix, pushing a bite-sized piece of bread in his mouth. Not quite gently, because Felix is not a gentle man, but not harshly. Imagines: the feeling of Felix’s fingers in his mouth. His stomach flips.

    “Am I going to have to force-feed you?” Felix says impatiently, and Dimitri wraps stiff fingers around his spoon and puts a bite of stew in his mouth, unsettled.

    There isn't much question in Dimitri's mind about loving Felix.]

    five times felix threatened dimitri and the one time dimitri snapped and asked for more

    Summary

    Her first night on the ship, Adora watches Catra sleep. She charts the gentle tug up and down of her chest, stares at what once was impossible to want, forbidden from her reach. 

    She sits on the edge of Catra’s cot. Adora reaches out to trace the collar of her uniform, the white stained throughout with specks of blood and dirt.  She rakes a gentle hand through Catra’s hair, the cut rough and ragged. She goes to cradle Catra’s face like she had on Horde Prime’s ship, to run a thumb across the sharp line of her jaw—

    She stops. Maybe some things are still forbidden. 

    *

    Adora, relearning Catra, and Catra learning to heal.

    Summary

    They called it the Ship of Dreams.

    For Lance McClain, winning two tickets aboard the largest ocean liner in the world in a game of chance is the only lucky thing to happen to him in his life. A chance to get back home to America, to the family he left behind in hopes of making it big in the industrial boom in England. To him, this is freedom.

    But to Keith Kogane, orphan and heir to an enormous fortune and a reputable name, the RMS Titantic is a cage. Trapped in an engagement decreed as his parents' last wish, Keith struggles to make peace with the fact that once he and his fiancée touch American soil, he will be forced to live a lie for the rest of his life.

    Their first meeting is pure chance. Their second is not. Sparks fly, and when that smoldering fire catches flame, it becomes an inferno that consumes them and everything else in their path. What ensues is a forbidden love, a race against time, and a sliver of hope that hangs by a thread.

    This is their story.
