    Summary

    There’s this hushed, meek part of him that admits he was hoping things would be different.

    A part of him fancied his return like slipping on a pair of well worn shoes, like the easy turn of pages from a well loved book. Because between each mismatched encounter there’s a knowing there, the lingering of a history neither one can shuck, and it amounts to a far bigger picture than the bumbling, graceless shapes they’ve been moving in these past few days.

    Yet another bigger, truer part of him knows it was a foolish, airheaded thing to even think at all.

    Summary

    By a twist of fate, Izuku finds himself face to face with Rody Soul nearly a decade since the last time they saw each other. Blindsided by all the new emotions that stem from reuniting with an old friend, Izuku tries to navigate the guilt of broken promises and mend the distance that the years placed between them. Even if they're meant to separate again eventually, both Izuku and Rody hope to fit a decade's worth of lost time within the span of a weekend, slowly unearthing the abandoned possibilities they'd left behind as teens.

    Summary

    The body was supposed to acclimate to any constant it was exposed to. That was the promise, or the threat—Nezumi wasn’t sure which—threaded through every play and poem and back alley encounter he had known. Treat desire as an exploitable human weakness long enough, and eventually the act would become nothing more than an exchange, the hurt after would dull to a manageable ache, even if you were the sort who learned to go numb rather than burn in its wake. That was the math he had learned, and it was supposed to make everything easier. It was supposed to make none of it matter.

    He had been wrong.

    Summary

    “When you stand in the middle of a road,” Shion said, “and you look back at the way you came from, and ahead at where you’re going…” The tone was deliberate; it sank like an anchor in Nezumi’s chest. “There is nothing to celebrate when it’s all the same. The same road extending in both directions, without a curve. Without a change in the view. From one horizon to the other, just the same straight, unbroken road.” He uttered the words without a quaver, but his eyes drifted as he spoke and fixed somewhere just above Nezumi’s head, unseeing. The mannerism was so unlike him that for a heartbeat, Nezumi felt he was staring at a stranger.

    Summary

    Shion's got a talent for bringing a softness out of Nezumi that he didn't even know still existed in himself.
