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.
_____What if Cassius and Darrow were lovers? A reimagining of Red Rising, told from Cassius’ perspective.

Summary
They keep talking. It’s soothing, in a way Ghost didn’t expect. Johnny chatters sort of incessantly, in a way that, coming from anyone else, would usually make Ghost want to blow their brains out. Or his own. But now, the quiet conversation reminds him that Johnny is still breathing, that he’s still moving. Even if the conversation is mostly one-sided.
Except for the fact that it… isn’t. Ghost finds himself responding. Every time Johnny tells him that he’s found more rope, found a bottle, found oil, anything and everything he can get his hands on to throw together some makeshift weapon, Ghost murmurs a reward.
“Good, Johnny,” he says quietly, and he can hear the grin on the sergeant’s face without even seeing him. It’s… something. He isn’t quite sure what, yet. Isn’t quite sure if he should be trying to work out why Johnny seems so desperate for Ghost’s approval when he’s bleeding through the streets of Las Almas in the middle of the night, anyway. Besides, even if it’s nothing (he is sure that it isn’t nothing, at this point) who is he to deny the whims of a man on death’s doorstep? It’s no hardship. Not even slightly.

Summary
John drinks, but what burns down his throat isn’t the liquor. It’s something hotter, more primal, and infinitely more addicting. It’s dangerous, something that prickles his skin and makes him want to squirm, but he can’t find it in himself to look away.
Sometimes, a look is all you need.

Summary
- Consisting of or combining two or more separable aspects or qualities.
Roman accidentally-on-purpose reads Dean and Seth's sexts, but it's not because he loves them or wants to be part of their relationship or anything. That would be totally weird, right? Right?
