    Summary

    “He had unnaturally soft hair, accompanied by warring eyes of all different golden hues. Set, dark brows. Height that almost matched mine. He was extraordinarily built, with a strong jawline capable of withstanding the worst of beatings. And his mouth. His mouth that spoke such profound words, that could stirr even a Pink to battle at his side — the most perfect mouth I’d ever seen.

    I would’ve let him win.

    The thought is startling. Me. A Bellona, would have voluntarily allowed another to win,”

    ——

    AU where — after crashing and getting stranded in the Obsidian Arctic, Darrow and Cassius are separated from their allies and forced to rely on only each other for survival. Things escalate.

    Summary

    I may be ice: as frigid and deceptively fragile as frost at dawn—an apt crown for aphelion of the tantalising warmth that has ever tempted but never thawed me. Yet I’m also summer: mesmerising menace masked by mirth, debauched bearer of every earthly delight, purveyor of such luminescence that I rival Sol, although I’m damned myself to gloom that only a half–denizen of the Void can know.

    He may be fire: as fervid and dazzlingly ferocious as wildfire at zenith, subjugated to the furious tempest that rages within him, mercilessly as surf ravages scar, demanding immolation on a protean pyre—for whom does he burn tonight? Yet he’s also winter: winsome woe of reckoning, scourge to the sublime and dread of the decadent, although all he covets in these worlds are the halcyon days he’s due.

    We are both creatures of contradictions. It’s why we understand one another. But it’s not lost on me that ice and fire cannot mingle without the frailer’s demise, that summer and winter never meet anywhere but the Ice. We tried for temperance.

    We failed.

    (but don't you touch that golden sun)

     

    It starts when someone takes Ghost's mask.

    It doesn't end when he gets it back.

    Summary

    Just one bite; to taste, and let go.

    Or, the on-field flirting is getting a little ridiculous.
