    Summary

    Zombies. Fucking zombies.

    Eighteen months ago, the dead started walking and overnight the world as Izuku knew it became more violent, much bloodier, and a hell of a lot smellier.

    After losing his group, and almost his life in the process, he finds himself face to face with a set of wild red eyes that were far more dangerous, and far more likely to eat him whole than any zombie he’d come across.

    Summary

    Jayce Talis needs to get out of New York. His publisher calls it a “creative retreat,” but Jayce knows better. His work is slipping, the city feels too loud, too suffocating. So he drives—somewhere quieter, somewhere slower. He rents a room in a small town that barely exists on a map, tells himself it’s just for the summer.

    He isn’t looking for a muse.

    But then there’s his new landlord—Viktor.

    Sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued, cigarette in hand. Unbothered by the heat, unimpressed by Jayce, unreadable in a way that makes Jayce want to study him a little too long.

    Summary

    The distant look in the Mage’s eyes snapped to the gap of the roof, to the near-silent tuttering of other, watchful machines down below. “No, it doesn’t matter. You will be safe up here. It should be simple enough, to lay protective wards into the earth of the tower. I won’t let anything happen to you,” he vowed.

    Promises held no impetus in this world, where nothing happened, nothing changed.

    The Machine reset its position on its knees and replaced its hands on the weapon of a fallen era. I can’t stop you from making useless promises, can I?

    Somehow, without doing anything, the Machine had gained a visitor and protector.

    Summary

    What has Viktor done to deserve this? At what point did Jayce come to value him so highly? Somehow, this bond of theirs grew so gradually, so subtly, escaping Viktor’s notice as it entwined itself into every facet of their lives, strangling all else with its roots until only its verdant bloom remained.

    “Let me go, Jayce.”

    The grip on him tightens. “I won’t.”

    No. He’s made that quite clear. Viktor lacks the strength to shake him off; if he tried, Jayce would surely release him, but to rob Jayce of his sole source of comfort would not be right, nor good, and so Viktor waits. A minute passes, then two, then four.

    The rune swallows them up, and abandons them in an unfamiliar land. Is this not what they wanted? With naught but the clothes on their backs, they are left to wander. To wonder.

    Summary

    There was a whisper in the back of your ear, and in your dreams to run. Run. Run. Run. He'll find you. The monster will find you. There was fire in the soles of your feet urging you to run. A deep rooted fear you don't understand the origin.

    But you can't.
    You're his, you were his since the first life.
    You're life was his to take and to command.
    You're his priestess, and he was your god.
