    Summary

    “I don’t need to know what you are,” Illuga says. “Just give me something. Something to cling to the next time you run headfirst into danger alone.”

    Flins sees the ghosts behind those pleading eyes, the shadows he tries to bathe in light, to pretend his lantern could drown them out rather than push them further into the corners of his mind. And he knows the stories, knows the haunted past that Illuga doesn’t like to talk about, the reason Flins’ answer matters.

    He settles on a simple, yet vague truth.

    “I am… not so easily killed,” he admits.

    “If you’re lying to me,” Illuga says. “I will summon you from the grave and kill you myself.”

    Summary

    Illuga hears something from behind him and swears to Solovei his heart stops. Slowly he turns to look over his shoulder, slowly he locks eyes with the subject of his fantasies.

    “Apologies, Young Master. It was not my intent to disturb you,” Flins says. He’s sitting gracefully in Illuga’s favorite chair, having dragged it from the living room to the foot of his bed. “But, you called my name.”

    Summary

    "Kind of scrawny, aren't you?" Ajaw says suddenly, scrutinising Kinich from head to toe. "No wonder you don't have any children."

    Kinich, who considers himself used to all the nonsense that falls from Ajaw's dragon mouth, is taken aback. "How are those two things remotely related?"—and then instantly wishes he didn't ask.

    Ajaw slaps Kinich's belly with a phlogiston paw. "Look at this!" he cries. "It's all concave! You can't hold any eggs in here. And this," he adds, zipping to Kinich's arm and holding it aloft. "There's no meat, you've got sticks for limbs, tch! You can't feed any children like this."

    Kinich feels as if his mind ran to catch up, but then tripped and fell into a giant hole of Wait what did he say!? "Eggs," he repeats. "Children."

    "Don't even think about having mine." Ajaw sniffs disdainfully.

    Lohen had to look away.
    The urge to drag Illuga into the nearest tent and keep him all to himself was dangerously tempting.
    Unfortunately, everyone seemed to want a piece of Illuga tonight.

    Lohen is possessive and can't wait to get freaky with Illuga

    Summary

    It was only through her that he ever found salvation. Through her touch, that he ever felt anything beyond blind, seething hatred. Through her kiss, that he ever remembered life's true sweetness. Through her strength, her patience, her grace, that he ever regained a sense of clarity and purpose. That he ever wanted to be a hero again.

    But even now, long after she's led him back into the light, his past haunts him. Memories of his crimes, his reign of terror, his wanton bloodlust and cruelty... Memories of *her*, of what he thought and felt about her, of what he wanted to do with her. TO her. The obsession. The hunger. The sickness.

    And now, she wants him to open up. To be honest, in bold totality. To show her what darkness still lurked within his heart. To once more become that starving predator that hunted her day and night.

    How could she ask him such a thing? How could she want him to be a monster again?

    Did he trust her judgment? Did he listen to her?

    Did he listen to that sinister voice still calling to him, deep inside of his mind?

    Summary

    Golden Cheese's self-image is attacked. For the first (and hopefully only) time ever, she actually feels it.

    To add insult to injury, it came from the sloppy, drunken mouth of her sloppy, drunk boyfriend. To further insult her, when the next day comes, he insists that he doesn't recall saying a single word to her.

    When the memory eventually returns to him... Well, at least he's apologetic. And more than willing to try to atone for his sins.

    She was so much better than this. So, so much better. And yet here, now... she dares to falter for even a moment?

    No. She can't. She won't. He won't let her.

    Summary

    Greed comes in many forms. Greed for delicious food, greed for riches, greed for power, greed for time.

    Greed for attention. Greed for knowledge.

    Burning Spice appears to be terminally ill with the former. Somehow, Golden Cheese finds herself struck with the latter.

    For once, she possesses a greed that she knows to well and truly be a vice; one that wouldn't bring her any peace even if she satisfied it. But... she's never been strong enough to ignore her own greed. Not even now. Not even for this.

    Just... just what is it that he wants from her, exactly?

    Summary

    Perhaps he could have been more... polite, in his refusal of her touch, at least the first few times. He simply saw a hand wrapped in green approaching his face and he responded. The regret that washed over him at the sound of her yelp - startled and pained, a tragic accessory to the tremor in her wrist born from him grasping it so tight - was overwhelming, almost suffocating, and yet... he did it again, the next attempt she made. And the one after that, and the one after that.

    Nevertheless, for reasons unknown, she persisted.

    Must have been that morbid curiosity of hers.

    Summary

    Now having achieved eternal union in every other way imaginable, Destruction and Abundance come to share a desire for something novel, something unique; a grand and brand new expression and cultivation of their love.

    But, joy and anticipation sadly come shadowed by fear and doubt - at least for one. Gripped tightly by both, Destruction turns to an old, unlikely, unconventional solution.

    Fortunately, Abundance not only sympathizes, but has a similar solution of her own.

    Summary

    Burning Spice was a relatively simple man, with relatively simple reasoning. The Light of Change - or Destruction, as he now knew it - belonged to him. It is currently in the possession of Golden Cheese.

    He likes having the Soul Jam. He likes Golden Cheese.

    Therefore, Golden Cheese belonged to him, as well. Simple as that.

    In his corner of Beast-Yeast, Burning Spice is all-powerful. All are subservient to his will, and he knows every inch of the Spice Ridge like the back of his hand. Nothing and no one is beyond his sight.

    Including the Lassi Springs.

    ...Including when Golden Cheese stops to take a bath at the Lassi Springs.

    Summary

    “Be gentle with her, alright?” They say, with a kindhearted sort of concern. “She's going through a lot.”

    The Wanderer thinks of her timid, lost expression and quiet uncertainty, the way she held herself as though she were not yet unfamiliar with moving in her physical form. He snorts. What a ridiculous request.

    “…You know how I am,” The Wanderer replies, meeting their gaze with a frown. “No promises.”

    The Traveler merely smiles at him, turning back around. “Right. Well, I’ll leave you to it.”

    “Hm.”

    Nahida temporarily loses most of her memory, and the Wanderer is tasked with supervising her until she recovers.

    Summary

    When she dared to imagine it, she thought her return to society would be a triumph. She’d finally meet her people, and they would see her for who she was and they would know she cared about them and then they would care about her. They’d realize that she’s been right here this whole time, trying to help them as best she could, and then they would love her like all the information tucked away inside her says they used to.

    But this isn’t Nahida’s imagination, so instead of going and doing something actually helpful, she’s hiding in a mostly-forgotten storage room deep in the Akademiya.

    or:

    Nahida's going to figure out this whole physical-world thing, no matter what it takes.

    Summary

    A birthday party? Nahida can already imagine it: a thousand sparkling lights, sweet-smelling perfume, good food and maybe even a dance floor. People whirling past each other, skirts flaring out and scarves and sashes tied around waists flicking this way and that way. A chandelier high up above, reflecting off the tiles below, so clean she could see her reflection in them.

    It sounds like a dream.

    But… Nahida looks down. “We can’t, we weren’t invited. And besides, I don’t do well with birthdays.”

    Some things are just not meant for her.

    The smile on Venti’s face dies and he stares at her before his expression turns determined. “Nonsense,” he says, slamming his mug down.

    He doesn’t let her protest as he drags her out of the tavern.

    Summary

    She doesn’t call out to him– simply approaches him. He doesn’t look up from his book, and she doesn’t address him either. She climbs up onto the bench next to him, and sits quietly, her back straight, her hands clasped in her lap.

    Silence passes for a few moments, before he sighs, and quietly closes the book.

    “Is there something I might do for you, Lord Kusanali?” He asks,
