    Summary

    He feels a squeeze on his right arm, probably to snap out of whatever state he was in before. The lady doesn’t even look at him, just tries to guide him towards the dance floor. He hasn’t even gotten a good look at her face, to offer a proper thanks. Now that he thinks of it, Azure and Murray did mention that, though the revolutionary council won’t be there, they did manage to get their “Magpies” into the masquerade. Not many, just five or ten. This lady, though looking like she is of nobility, may be part of the hired soldiers. What was that saying they used again?

    Once Julien remembers, he says, “Any good tidings?”

    He feels the lady stiffen in confusion for just a second before she responds, in a nasally and deeper voice that is oh so familiar, “...Always for a friend.”

    “Occtis?!”
    ____________

    What if Julien wasn't always protecting Occtis? What if instead, Occtis saves Julien?

    Summary

    A flash catches in his peripheral. He glances back up at the fire and finds somebody sitting on the other side where Malam had been hours before.

    “What the fuck,” he yelps, though apparently not loud enough to wake Arthur out of whatever layer of sleep he’s managed to fall into. On the one hand, John prefers it that way, so he can get some actual rest; on the other.

    “You’re not supposed to say that word,” the person— the child— says, crisp and mildly accented, more like she’s repeating the phrase than actually spouting it for him.

    Summary

    “And as much as I believe that,” John begins and Arthur waits until he continues for the next pull at the cigarette, “you’re sure there’s nothing else that’s sending you out here like a brooding teenager?”

    Arthur nearly splutters, turning his head toward John for the full wide-eyed effect, “Brooding? Am I brooding?”

    John makes a noncommittal noise, makes sure to ruffle the sleeve of his coat as he motions, “It was the closest word I could come to, so yes. I think you are. For the entire day you have been, in fact.”

    Summary

    Mitch is 56 years old. He's a goddamn superhero. He's a vampire who drinks the blood of nefarious villains. Somehow, acknowledging the fact that he's gay seems only marginally less daunting than facing the Camarilla head-on and telling them to go fuck themselves.

    -

    In other words: Mitch comes out and it’s not a big deal! At least, not to anyone but him and Zaeth.
