Chapter 60: Burning Out For Me
Infra-Red, Three Days Grace Previous | Chapter Listing | Next L was humming something, a song Morgyn remembered her singing many times before. Her fingers deftly separated the tangles from Morgyn’s hair, working a slight coating of coconut oil into the brown waves, and then snipping off the split ends. Morgyn sat on the floor, leaning against the couch she sat on while she worked. Travis was playing video games again, but he and Simeon were having a complete nerd fit together over there about whatever game it was Travis was playing. The brunet was doing better, already. The sound of Travis and Simeon talking so animatedly about something they…

Chapter 59: Dreams Don’t Turn to Gold
Where Do Broken Hearts Go, Whitney Houston Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Morgyn hadn’t said another word since then. The brunet had ended up staying a couple days, rather than only the one, but it worked out. Liberty was honestly afraid to leave Morgyn alone for too long, and she’d started taking her vacation days off from work to stay at home with the brunet. Travis had made a few more comments about Morgyn’s level of attractiveness, but not directly to the sage, and not in Morgyn’s presence. Liberty didn’t know if Morgyn had heard any of those comments, but if the brunet had heard them, they didn’t seem…

Chapter 58: I Can’t Feel a Thing
You Say, Lauren Daigle Previous | Chapter Listing | Next The pain was still there. But of course it was. It wasn’t like Morgyn had really done anything to try and make it go away. The blond had no idea what to do with all of these feelings, though. And when Morgyn had feelings that the blond didn’t know what to do with, it was only natural that Morgyn got horribly drunk. Morgyn had already been drinking for hours by now, drunk a bottle of rum, and was working on a bottle of tequila. Because, why not? Along the way, Morgyn had built a bonfire, cut all the pictures of…

Chapter 57: Hardly Anything There
Castle of Glass, Linkin Park Previous | Chapter Listing | Next There were a thousand other things still left to do. Liberty’s progress, and Cassandra’s for that matter, in magic were both quite good, but Morgyn needed to figure out, first of all, how to get through the magic realm barrier. The blond was aware that the easiest way of getting through it was most likely to be going at it indirectly. The All wasn’t very good at attacks that were just slightly to one side. Ezio would likely know this, too, so if Morgyn was guessing correctly, it was almost a guarantee that he’d gotten Sarnai into magic realm…

Chapter 56: All So Wasted On Myself
Promises, Nero Previous | Chapter Listing | Next A pinch of this, and a pinch of that, and… she thought that was the right colour. Wait, what had her mother said? Cassandra frowned to herself, scooting around the cauldron she’d set up on the balcony, to have a look at the potions book Bella had given her. She felt like she was missing something here, because the cauldron’s contents looked okay, but seemed to be the wrong colour. Or was she misremembering? Truth be told, Cassandra wasn’t skilled enough at this potion hullabaloo to be able to pick out what was wrong with her potions right off. This was a…

Chapter 55: The Dark Messiah
The Vengeful One, Disturbed Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Morgyn paced around the room in frantic, unending circles. The blond should really find something else to do with all of this nervous energy, but there was so much of it, Morgyn was at a loss for other brilliant ideas. Ezio had been gone for three days now. Life in Spire had changed a little bit. Drake had disappeared, and if Cassandra was to be believed, and Morgyn had no reason to disbelieve her, then he had decided to go into hibernation. Well, his stress and depression was probably intense enough right this second that he didn’t know what else…

Chapter 54: I Don’t Wanna Be An Angel
Engel, Rammstein Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Where in the fuck all did he put it… ah, there it was. Ezio reached over onto his side table, picking up the pen he was looking for and tossing it into his messenger bag. He was almost late for class, but not quite. Fortunately, his professors all liked him, so if he was late to class here and there, most of the time, they didn’t really mind it too much. It didn’t mean he should make a habit of pushing his luck, but it did mean when he was honestly late, it wasn’t that big of a deal. Ezio shuffled around,…

Chapter 53: I Like the Way it Hurts
Love the Way You Lie (Pt. II); Rihanna, Eminem Previous | Chapter Listing | Next It was late, and he should probably just find somewhere else to go and spend his time, but he wasn’t done with this song. Caleb wanted to get it done, but then, it was for Morgyn. Given he and Morgyn weren’t talking anymore, he supposed it didn’t fucking matter when, or even if, he got it done. His feelings for the blond hadn’t changed much. If anything, they’d gotten stronger in the time they’d been apart, and Caleb likely should’ve seen that one coming. Of course he still loved Morgyn. Of course his feelings for…

Chapter 52: Born
Born, MitiS Previous | Chapter Listing | Next “Don’t move,” Troi said, sticking his arm with a needle. Ezio winced, but he didn’t tense up or anything. They were doing bloodwork to make sure the levels of his everything were normal, along with the regular checkup he was a little late for because life exploded and he no longer remembered what month it was. (Seriously, what month was it?) “I’ll get these sent to the lab, don’t run off,” Troi said, gathering the blood draws she’d just gotten and taking them out to the desk outside the door. Ezio looked amused, but he stayed put, pulling his turtleneck back on.…

Chapter 51: I Wanna Be Sure
Waiting For a Girl Like You, Foreigner Previous | Chapter Listing | Next He could get used to waking up like this. Who was he kidding, he probably was used to waking up like this. The sunlight streaming through the windows, the birds chirping, the sound of the city somewhere in the background, and her heartbeat against his ear, mixing with her breaths. Her hair was so frizzy, but he loved every little kinky strand of it. The way the light sparkled in her eyes, instead of just vanishing in their dark depths. He didn’t mind his own eye colour, but he thought he loved the sparkle of hers a…
