    Summary

    Boyfriend. What a sweet word. Nothing that indicates what the relationship really was — a financial power play. An indulging of a fantasy where he had overrode Blitzo's own desires, own feelings, to pretend that someone besides his daughter actually cared for him. There are places where even Exorcists can't reach; there are demons so abhorrent that even others turn away in disgust.

    I'm scum, Stolas realises silently, absolutely. I am truly, genuinely scum. And it couldn't even come as a surprise — it is an epiphany that barely feels like one, slotting neatly into the tapestry of his own hell.

    ==

    The repercussions of Western Energy, where Stolas and Blitzo reach very different conclusions about what the deal means to them, and both try to be better demons in their own way. Maybe.

    Summary

    This time there is something intoxicating about it, the dusty scent of obols, shackles and candle-wax mixing with the soot of burning coals and purifying incense. It stings like spices when inhaled, glides hot and sharp down his throat and Thanatos feels it in his stomach, a reminder of cravings unfulfilled.

    Summary

    A reflection of feelings into an eventual confession. Alien as they were, the feelings were inescapable.
