    Summary

    Kaveh stares at the neatly packed bento box laying before Al-Haitham, housing neatly sliced vegetables and glistening, fresh rice.

    “Who made you that?” Kaveh asks, not bothering to hide the vengeance in his voice. “Your work husband?”

    Al-Haitham lets the fork go slack in his hands and just stares at him. “Kaveh,” he says, in the sort of tone someone might say dude.

    “Don’t dude me,” Kaveh says, aghast.

    Kaveh is interested in discovering who Al-Haitham's elusive work husband is. Al-Haitham is only interested in Kaveh.

    Summary

    Atsushi hated pain. The Orphanage had subjected him to years and years of it, through hammers and knives and cold water and hot pokers and nights spent on his knees, scrubbing at the floors, blood blossoming on his palms. He hated it.

    But in the early hours of the morning—shooting out of bed, wrapping his arms around himself, tight, as if they would protect him from the man in the corner that spewed poisonous words and harsh glares, cold and dissecting, memories clawing at him even now, threatening to destroy him—the first thing he did was grab at his hair and pull.

    or: atsushi on the headmaster, pain, humanity, and new beginnings

    Summary

    Atsushi is eleven, and he’s learned not to complain or cry by now, learned to keep his breathing down and his sobs muffled, his shaking and trembling to a minimum.

    Summary

    Atsushi hadn’t known a time when he hadn’t feared death, and as much as that fear clung to him, his fear of confinement was always worse. Anything was better than a cage, anything would be better than going back to being trapped with nowhere to go, no way of escape. He knows the Agency can’t help him here, he’s not even sure he wants them to. After all, everyone saw him differently after they saw him in the cage. Little did he know, there would be someone else who would come to his aid

    Summary

    Scanning the rest of the room, he turns to look at Sigma, whose shuddering breaths wrack his body even as he’s unconscious against the control panel, blood trailing down his side through the fabric. His hair is cast over his face, drooped across him in a pastel glory.

    Coming to his side, Nikolai uses a blood covered hand to tilt Sigma’s face upwards, watching how his brows are pulled together in strain. He’s already a pale figure, but the blood loss makes him appear otherworldly, the red of Fedya’s blood streaked across his jaw standing out starkly.

    Evaluating the damage on the other man, a new game begins to form in Nikolai’s head.
