    Summary

    Breathing in, Cid purses his lips and releases a stream of white smoke, watching it blend and disappear into the morning fog. A shadow falls over him.

    “You fell asleep,” Clive says. He stands over Cid, crossing his arms over his chest disapprovingly.

    “Not the worst way to wake up,” Cid retorts, still half-asleep as he glares up into Clive’s eyes.

    Clive’s face twitches into something that isn’t exactly a smile, but is a softer frown than usual.

    Another small victory.

    A series of moments between Clive and Cid as the two travel together and grow closer, all while Cid's plan and the mothercrystals loom in the background. Strangers to friends/allies to lovers. Slow-burn romance.

    Summary

    He had bought blue hydrangeas for his daughter.
    The flowers of apology, regret, and forgiveness...
    Maybe he was asking too much from such simple little things.

    Summary

    Phillip’s life is one that fits perfectly into organized boxes. So it stands to reason the first time he meets Mr. Benoit Blanc he can't fucking stand the man. Of course, that was only the first time. Really, how many times in the great expanse of Manhattan can a professor and a detective meet before it stops being a coincidence?

    In which Phillip can’t stop running into Blanc (despite his best efforts) and two old men happen to fall in love (also despite their best efforts).

    Summary

    The man that Luca knows is called "gatto sazio", the cat that’s full. A whisper of "gatto sazio" is all it takes for the men to lower their heads in deference, the name a reminder that for those who may be fooled by his slim build and placid smile, painless death would be a generosity. What they don’t know about are the nights of pent up frustration and barely controlled violence. They don’t know, but Luca does.

    Now the first part of the series "Luca Knows"
