Summary
Mike knelt on the church altar, willing.
From this angle, Will looked divine, like an angel, haloed by the light of holy candles. He was stood in the middle of the isle, his eyes as white as paper. The angle of the glow masked part of his face in shadow as he walked towards him. They never took their eyes off of each other, and Mike looked up at his best friend like he were about to pray to him for his salvation. He licked his lips. Will was an angel, indeed — an angel of death.
Mike's breath caught in his throat. He was beautiful. The emotion of that thought hit him in the chest.
"You wanna hurt me, don't you?" He said, his voice low. "Come on then. Hurt me. I can take it."
Will circled him for a moment, his steps like cracking whips echoing through the church. He stopped in front of him and bent until they were at eye level. He held Mike's face in his hand from cheek to cheek. Mike's lips puckered without even noticing. Will punched him square in the face.
Mike heard the impact before he felt it, as he struggled to keep himself on his knees. He coughed profusely as pain bloomed from his nose.
"Fuck, just like that." Mike said, breath heavy. "Again."

Summary
Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.
or
Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

Summary
“Violet?”
Vi pauses. “Yeah, sweetheart?”
Caitlyn lowers her face even more, almost burying it into the cushion, wishing she could disappear and yet aching to be seen. Her voice is hushed, timid. “Could I… have your belt?”

Summary
“You know, you might be the only thing alive that knows my name. I don’t know how long I’ve been sleeping, but it must have been long enough for people to have forgotten.” The stag finished the last of the berries and stared at George wonderingly. George chuckled, plucked another handful to offer to it, and continued, “I’d gone to sleep tired. And I wake up tired. Tell me, do you think that’s fair?”
The stag, because it was a stag, did not reply.
But George didn’t mind that, either.
