    Summary

    Blaise Zabini has carried an ache in his bones for years. It comes into his life like a housecat; uninvited, unwelcome, but becomes as familiar as the very walls of his home. His own body becomes a stranger, every movement like an intruder in his domicile. He doesn't know how much stranger his body is about to get. The world he's introduced to is far darker and far more ancient than he can ever know, and understanding their rules is a matter of life and death, because courting season has just begun.

    Summary

    Zhezhi is a photojournalist who is in need of a job; the Montellis are an organised crime family in need of a rehabilitation of their image after their youngest daughter pulls the trigger on the wrong people. This mutually beneficial arrangement made to restore the balance between New York and her shadowed underworld turns out to be the catalyst for a much larger chain of events that will turn everything Carlotta Montelli knows on its head. After all, only the executioner has done wrong in God's eyes.

    Summary

    red remembers his late husband as a tragic man. red remembers him foremost as a murderer; in any case, a liar and a hypocrite, but only ever red's own. he was, in every sense of the word, unworthy of love, and that made him frighteningly loveable.
    you selfish bastard, red thinks. you went off and had a legacy without me. you die without any regard for your husband, or your kid.

     

    there is solace to be found in the living; there is new life that rises from the ashes even after bushfire.

    Summary

    that once we might've been something / and if not all moments could be saved, then i knew at least our love would persist forever entangled in the depths of a glittering restless heart.

     

    a vignette of emotion and experience suspended in something not quite sad but never happy, in time that leaks from the gaps in between your fingers yet coalesces into something so viscous you can't quite draw breath

    life's perfect, until it isn't. and his parents had always told him to "start achieving".

    Summary

    “do you know the paper that got him famous?”

    red knows this one. “yeah- he designed the first prototype of a working reality anchor.”

    “do you know the events that led up to the creation of that prototype?” and there it is. there is a serrated finality in ash’s voice now, which indicates that they’re either nearing the end of their conversation, natural or otherwise, or that there is going to be some sort of big reveal.

    “tell me,” i know you know, red doesn’t say.

    “my bones, my eye, my organs, were in that first prototype.”

     

    or: ash has trauma. red has trauma. and unwilling as they are, they have to confront it sometime.

    Summary

    he definitely hadn't planned for his morning to go like this; but he reasoned, perhaps slightly falsely, that this was fine because he had nothing of importance coming up in the foreseeable future. fuck it, shane schofield decided, life was short (especially for him) and he might as well enjoy himself.

    Summary

    the transfer student was the kind of popular boy that got everyone talking; sporty, fit, absolutely ripped... you know, the kind brainless sluts swoon over, the one that gets invited to all the parties. within a week of moving here, he had already become the person on everyones' mind, whether in a good or bad way.

    have you seen his tattoo? i heard he's from a seedy neighbourhood. someone told me he was part of a gang. wow, he’s hot. i wonder what kind of person he is.

    kazuha considered himself above such meaningless rumours, but he was assigned to look after the new guy that day, so he tells himself he might as well pay attention to gossip, for once.
