    Summary

    They speak of a kitsune that has long since fallen from favor.
    It need not touch flesh to devour.
    It only needs to speak.
    For the sound of one’s name through that bloodied maw thieves time. Some say days; others warn of years. Lifelines eroded with syllables.
    The more you fear, the more it takes.
    Until the only thing left to bear your name is a headstone.

    OR: Suguru is a cursed kitsune. Ancient, enlightened, and burdened with more memories than any one soul was intended to keep.

    Satoru is warned not to give the fox his name. He does. It’s only a matter of time before he surrenders his heart, too.

    As their time together accumulates, Satoru finds himself asking questions no legend ever bothered to answer: is grief another name for love? And if so, why does Suguru choose it twice?

    Summary

    The longer he listened, the more gradually he began to detect something – the edges of it fluttering ever so subtly, softer than the flap of a butterfly’s wings. Itachi peered upwards, a few fat, icy flakes catching on his lashes. The darkening mauve sky was becoming nebulous above them, morphing into a sea of flurries rushing down at him faster than gravity, as numerous as dust motes dancing in sunlight.

    Summary

    “Baby, you’re shaking,” he croons, coming up to press their foreheads together, the scent of iron fresh on his breath.

    Itachi presses his lips tightly together, biting back the moan that threatens to erupt from his throat, loud enough to alert the entire inn.

    Summary

    His openness was as much a token of affection and friendliness as it was a revealed weak point to thrust a knife. Loneliness had killed so many gods, but Xie Lian wasn’t offered the same justice. A punishment that truly fits the crime.

    Or: A lonely traveler stumbles across the village of a dead god. Xie Lian welcomes him with open arms.

    Ever since I got engaged, you went away.

    Why can't things stay the same as they've always been?
