    Summary

    Kaveh found him in the corner of a dark alley.

    Maybe him wasn’t the right word, he realized as he turned the prone body over. Bits of gravel skittered across the ground like fleas. Dirt clung to its damp clothes and silver hair, wetted by the evening drizzle.

    Of all the things Kaveh expected to run into today, a broken, hyperrealistic android was not one of them.


    In the corner of a run-down alleyway, Sumeru's most renowned robotics engineer discovers an android. And this is no ordinary android—Kaveh has never seen another that looks so disturbingly human. When it becomes clear fate is giving him no other option, he brings it home for a repair.

    There is more than meets the eye with this android. That much is obvious. Then Kaveh learns of a series of mysterious disappearances, and realizes there is even more to this mysterious creation than he—or its creator—thought.

    Summary

    Little should logically connect Neuvillette and Wriothesley, beyond business and paperwork. Each hides behind their own kind of shield, one of distant impartiality and the other of cold humor. They operate in separate worlds, with different tastes, different manners, and vastly different methods.

    And yet neither of them can seem to manage such a distant sort of relationship. Their stories continue to intertwine, and without really meaning to, they draw one another in, until their orbits are practically aligned.

    Around them, Fontaine’s prophesied demise looms, dragging long buried secrets to light and testing the both of them in the process. As the flood draws nearer, they will have to confront not only this tentative warmth between them, but their own flaws, fears, and wishes as well.

    Summary

    Columbina tilts her head. “Has it had any physical effects? Please indulge my lack of sight.”

    Illuga frowns. “I don’t have any scars from the Hunter now, if that’s what you mean,” he says. “It’s as if I’d never been attacked in the first place.”

    Aether’s hand hesitantly lands on Illuga’s shoulder. “I didn’t want to stress you out more until we could talk to Columbina, but now that we’re here, you should probably look at your reflection,” he says quietly, carefully.

    His body stiffens in an instant, and that feeling of ,wrong, wrong, wrong hits him again full force. He steps out from under Aether’s touch and staggers on autopilot toward the closest pool of water. Illuga crouches down at the edge, pushing his fingers into his hair for some sort of grounding as he leans forward, lantern knocking against his thigh. He catches sight of his reflection, and his world tilts on its axis.

    Illuga comes back from the dead less human and more fae than before.

    Summary

    His heart is pounding so loud that he can’t hear Sethos’s hurried footsteps approaching him, can’t hear the way the bed creaks when Sethos sits down on it. He doesn’t realize what Sethos is doing until he feels a pair of strong arms wrapping around him, pulling him against a warm body. He doesn’t realize that his own body relaxes instinctively as he’s surrounded by the comforting scent of honey and smoke and rain. His head is pulled against Sethos’s shoulder, and there’s a hand stroking the back of his head softly. Words are being murmured to him, but he can’t make them out over the sudden sluggishness of his mind as the pain seems to melt away. The ache in his muscles means nothing against the warmth of Sethos’s body, and he’s releasing a relieved sigh. Despite the blanket having been pushed off his body, he doesn’t shiver, and his rapid breaths slow to something more lazy, his heart rate slowing down with it. He doesn’t open his eyes, but he doesn’t need to anymore, and his face is no longer pinched with pain. He is at peace.

    Scara is changing in ways he isn't used to. Luckily, he isn't alone.

    Summary

    “Story for another day, I think. Right now, I say we take in the view of the water.” Sethos sits down where he stands, his legs dangling off the edge of the cliff, squinting slightly as he gazes out at the water, appearing captivated by its glittering. His face scrunches up with the expression, his lips pulling into a frown, so Scara takes off his hat and places it on Sethos’s head instead. The man tenses, then relaxes, and he sends Scara a bewildered look, to which Scara just shrugs.

    “You need it more than I do.” He answers coolly, unflinching under the scrutinizing stare Sethos pins him with. Whatever it was he was looking for, he seems to find it because he begins to smile, small but meaningful, and Scara can’t make heads or tails of it, of the way it makes him feel like he’s lost all the air in his lungs.

    “Thank you,” Sethos says quietly, turning back to the water, and Scara nods numbly.

    Sethos is a 'beta' who might smell a bit nicer than a beta ought to, something that definitely doesn't interest Scara at all, even when said beta turns out not to be a beta at all.
