    Summary

    “I kissed Edward,” Roy said, more quietly than he'd ever spoken to her before. Riza’s raised eyebrows asked a question all on their own.

    “Edward… Hertzmann? In signal corps, on the third—”

    “Elric.” The surname hung heavy between them like it had hung between so many others before them. “But thank you for trying.”

    Summary

    He swallows hard and gives his head a hard shake. He’s hallucinating. Wouldn’t be the first time he’s come back post mission with his mind playing ticks. Getting smacked around some tends to do that to a bloke. But this is…different. He blinks and blinks again, but the more he stares the more the image sticks.

    Then Arthur opens his mouth.

    “Galahad.”

    Or: there's a familiar face in Arthur's seat, and Eggsy's not at all ready to deal with this whole phoenix-rising-from-the-grave schtick.

    --

    Where Roxy is a good friend, Merlin feels bad for lying, Harry Hart is frustratingly good with children, and Eggsy has a very long, very emotional day.

    Summary

    After a while the three of them are covered in a thin layer of sweat, despite the cold Parisian weather outside. The rain seems to have stopped and a few stray sunrays are peeking under the clouds, reflecting on the wet trees and the sea of rooftops out of the window. Combeferre inspects their work with a reserved smile, the living room still looking bombarded, covered furniture and the oddest unpacked things, boxes and wrapping paper everywhere yet his books already perfectly organized on the bookcase. “It’s a very nice place,” Enjolras hears himself muttering, walking around the other few rooms of their apartment. "The only thing that's left now is to hope our neighbours are decent."

    Really, he thinks after what seems like ages, lying on his bed and holding his breath in order not to miss another, just a few inches of cement and a pocketful of hurt pride away, he should have known when Courfeyrac turned around and flashed him a mischievous smile. "Let's hope they're not."

    Summary

    So there's this artist. He could probably be compared to Banksy, but he's a lot more... cynical. He shares rooms with a poet who braids his hair with flowers, in a flat near Covent Garden they rent from a short-tempered shop keeper with a penchant for fans and who'd do anything if you mentioned Poland. Sometimes, the three of them will go and deface public buildings in London whilst completely smashed off their heads.

    And then there's this, shall we say, 'revolutionary'. He has a band of other revolutionaries, who all meet at this cafe by Borough Market. He shares rooms with his best mate, a philosophy student, spends too much time with a flirty guy who has a thing for poets, goes boxing with a guy in a red vest, wants to punch the wet sop who drools on the blonde waitress and is getting tired of this guy who keep breaking his laptops through sheer dumb luck. Thank god the hypochondriac's there to keep an (slightly too) attentive eye on their stress levels.

    The revolutionary thinks the graffiti artist's work is a waste of space. The artist thinks the revolutionary's campaigns are a waste of time.

    And all the while, the poet and the flirt drool over each other in the background...
