    Summary

    The first time Neil dies is devastating. The second time is just as bad. The third time has them wondering if there’s a way out of this loop that doesn’t end with Neil dead.

    Summary

    "I'm not undead," Neil frowns. "I'm dead. There's no 'un' prefix. I died. You were there."

    "I was not there."

    "You went to my funeral."

    "To spit on the casket."

    Neil smirks. "You even got me flowers."

    "Those were funeral wreath flowers. And they were fake." He slides his palm up to Kevin's neck, cupping his Adam's apple gently and taking advantage of the position of his hand to tease the tip of his nails against his chin and jawline, making Kevin melt into him with a sigh. "Plus, you invited me to your funeral."

    Or: the process of helping Kevin transition into a vampire is, surprisingly, not harder than learning how to deal with your own feelings.

    Summary

    "Would you come if it were a request and not an order anyway?"

    If he’d asked, truly asked, I want to see you topped with please, Jean would have cursed him out and jumped on the first plane to South Carolina. And perhaps I guess you could come here is not a stern come to Palmetto that it could have been, but it is not good enough, it is not what Jean wants from him. In the end that’s what’s changed the most: Jean can want things now, not as much as his heart would like to, but just enough to expect something honest from Kevin.

    Jean brushes his fingers over the ridiculous print of a beret on his brand new sheets and asks, "Is there even a difference in your vocabulary between those two?"

    "Is there for you?" Kevin retorts.

    or, Jean Moreau agrees to visit Palmetto during winter break. It goes about as well as you might expect.

    Summary

    Just the sight of Neil’s skin against Jean’s is enough to pool a warm and heavy sensation in the pit of Kevin’s stomach. In moments like this, he is an easily inflammable thing, at the mercy of Neil and Jean trading lit matches right over him. Kevin knows painfully well how hungry the Ravens are for anything physical, be it altercation or gratification, and he wonders sometimes, in the privacy of his own sinful mind, whether Neil and Jean— No. He is a wretched being of too many wants, but an accusation like that is too blasphemous even for him. 

    or, Ravens come in pairs, not in threes. Neil and Jean dare to disagree.
