Low, Coldplay Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Outwardly, Morgyn probably seemed perfectly fine. It was far more useful, in this instance, if Morgyn did not panic, and thus far, the blond had done okay not doing so. The blond could accomplish a lot more if Morgyn didn’t have a complete meltdown. Internally was another story. The freak out was absolutely happening internally. This meant that Ezio wasn’t safe from whatever it was that was after Morgyn, either. Of course, there were reasons for that, and Morgyn knew those reasons, even if the blond didn’t like them. The unfortunate reality was that Morgyn had no way of shielding Ezio from this. He could get…

Here I Go Again, Whitesnake Previous | Chapter Listing | Next The pain was blinding. He had no other expectations for this mess, and the pain wasn’t surprising. What was surprising was his ability to think any sort of straight, but Ezio supposed, he may not be thinking straight, anyway. It was hard to tell, for him, how long he’d been limping from one side of San Myshuno to Forgotten Hollow, how many short transportalates he’d managed along the way. At some point, distance and time had started to become meaningless. It was hard to breathe, and difficult to move. Things like distance and time were pointless things to focus on. Ezio…

Wolf Blood, Adrian Von Ziegler Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Gently, Ezio set his teacup down at the table. In the kitchen, Drake was washing the dishes, and Morgyn was most likely picking back up with Elise (and apologising incessantly). Ezio had decided to keep to himself, for at least a little while. The anger was still there, and likely, it’d stay there. He knew that Morgyn was right, and holding onto it was a rather silly thing to do. There was no point in holding onto it. But there were times when it felt like the only thing keeping Ezio moving was his own rage. Even as he…

Strangelove, Depeche Mode Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Another day, a little more eyeliner than before, and surprisingly, still no one had said anything. Earlier that morning, Ezio had passed by L, and she’d given him an interesting look, but hadn’t said anything, either. Ezio was never terribly skilled at reading other people’s moods or expressions, particularly not L’s, as her varying looks seemed to all have a different meaning, depending on the day. He had long ago given up making sense of her. It was likely much better for his blood pressure. Drake was working on another book. Ezio was reading one, occasionally listening to the sounds of…

Moonsong, Adrian von Ziegler Previous | Chapter Listing | Next His eyes had always been that colour. Ezio remembered when they first met, back at France, and he’d turned a corner and nearly smacked into Drake. The first thing Ezio had noticed was how beautiful his eyes were. They were the same colour as Jean’s, but Drake’s were different. Somehow, they seemed warmer. Jean’s were like ice, but Drake’s had always been more like the midday sky, bright and almost too much. Ezio smiled a little to himself, settling down on the couch next to him. Drake was reading something, unsurprisingly, but Ezio didn’t mind. Just being around him was…

Gaia, Blackmill Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Hospitals, Ezio had discovered, had a particular feeling about them that no other location inspired. It was a strange feeling, as he sat in the waiting area, watching the wall for the most part. Occasionally, he’d glance out the window at the snow. It was falling softly to the ground, in swirls of white, and watching it fall was keeping his nerves in check. Ezio always did love the snow. Ezio smiled to himself, and then the door opened. “Sorry about the wait, Ezio,” his doctor said, shuffling over to him and handing him a bag. It rattled. “It’s okay,” he said.…

My Dsmbr. Mickey P., Linkin Park, Kelli Ali Previous | Chapter Listing | Next It was difficult to find death flowers. They were very rarely available in the potion ingredients shop, and Ezio didn’t know anywhere that they grew. To find one, he’d have to rely on his death magic, and for the most part, Ezio never bothered with it. He barely knew how to use it, because Ezio simply wasn’t that kind of person. All the same, he supposed he was given his death magic for a reason. Ezio was a necromancer, whether he liked it or not, and maybe it was about time he started figuring out how…

Someday You Will Be Loved, Death Cab for Cutie Previous | Chapter Listing | Next This was a little bit ridiculous. Morgyn didn’t believe in these kinds of things. They defied logic, at least the logic that Morgyn understood, but at this point, the blond had nothing else to turn to, either. Humans, after all, had a tendency to accept defiance of logic, if it made them feel better. It seemed, Morgyn would be no exception. If nothing else, the point of this sort of person, their role in society, was to guide people. And damned if Morgyn couldn’t use a little guidance. The blond released a breath, looking up…

My Blood, Ellie Goulding Previous | Chapter Listing | Next The sound of snow crunching under his boots was louder than he expected, and also, somehow, quieter. He made his way towards the trees, following some instinctive pull to somewhere. Ezio could hear it, around the sound of some strange, endless roaring noise, the screeching and singing that he heard in magic realm. For a moment, he wondered if he should follow the sound. Something told him not to. He didn’t, instead turning another direction. There was nothing but blackness, but if he squinted, he could barely make out what he thought were trees, or should be, vegetation. He looked…

Every Time You Go, Ellie Goulding Previous | Chapter Listing | Next “He’s usually not this late,” Morgyn said, fingers rapping against one arm. Drake grunted from where he was sitting at one of the tables. Morgyn had been pacing around and saying something to that effect for probably the last twenty minutes. It was starting to get annoying, but that was most likely because Drake’s paranoia was starting to play off Morgyn’s. They had an interesting talent at sitting here going in circles and making each other anxious. They could do it for hours if left to their own devices. Ezio hadn’t come downstairs just yet. It was concerning,…
