Heaven’s a Lie, Lacuna Coil Previous | Chapter Listing | Next The sun was falling behind the other buildings in Uptown. Ezio was flopped over on the couch in the living room, watching the sun’s rays vanish, half reading a book. He said half reading a book, because he was only partly paying attention to it, but of course, he’d read this one a thousand times already, it seemed like. Books were like old friends, he thought. Old friends whose expectations never changed, who may hurt you, but always in ways that weren’t personal. It was a difficult thing to explain, even in his own head, and Ezio wasn’t sure…

Humane, Lacuna Coil Previous | Chapter Listing | Next By most rights, Lilith shouldn’t care so much. It was Vladislaus’ idea that the Vatores move out of Forgotten Hollow, but Lilith had been all for it once she’d acclimated to the city. She enjoyed San Myshuno, and while she wasn’t at home in Spire very often, the move to Uptown wasn’t regretted either. But the Hollow was his legacy. Forgotten Hollow was all Lilith had left to attest that once, Vladislaus Straud had existed. It was making her more defensive of it than she’d been expecting of herself, but perhaps she should’ve expected it. Lilith paced around the dining room,…

Forgiven, Within Temptation Previous | Chapter Listing | Next With so many of them living in Spire now, and the weird tension between Morgyn and Caleb anymore, it was much easier to focus on schoolwork anywhere but at home. That was how Morgyn had ended up sitting at a table in Laurel Library, trying to focus on science but mostly thinking unwillingly about Caleb. Things weren’t too strained between them yet. Morgyn had thus far had decent success pretending there was nothing wrong, and Caleb seemed to have decided to follow suit. Truth be told, Morgyn wasn’t sure if that was what the blond wanted, but it wasn’t like Morgyn…

A Thousand Years, Christina Perri Previous | Chapter Listing | Next He didn’t expect to end up so exhausted, but in hindsight, Ezio couldn’t say why. There were a lot of boxes that had ended up in the lower floor, more for lack of knowing what else to do with them, but everyone was moved into Spire Apartments now. Ezio had to admit, the view really was beautiful. That morning, the sun had risen over the other side of the city, drowning out the lights and flooding the bay with brightness. Ezio had fallen in love with it the moment he saw it, had even headed out onto the balcony…

Run For Cover, Kito and Reija Lee Previous | Chapter Listing | Next There wasn’t much left to do. Morgyn had come by the day before and helped a good deal, probably because Caleb had said something and upset the blond. Strangely, Morgyn worked faster when the blond was annoyed, and Lilith should probably be concerned that Caleb and Morgyn were apparently fighting, but right now, she’d take the incidental bonus of their move going by quicker. Sooner or later, Caleb would sort through what was in his head, and then she’d hear all about it. The way she figured, she may as well find some joy in it for…

How Soon Is Now?; The Smiths Previous | Chapter Listing | Next The blond was starting to get accustomed to where everything was on campus anymore. Now, Morgyn could find just about anything, provided the blond didn’t get anything mixed up or misremember. There were certainly times when Morgyn forgot something important and got turned around for no clear reason. Morgyn headed around one of the buildings, out to the science building. The rumours were true, and all of the blond’s science courses were in the same building. It was almost like they were shunned to the dungeon, but it made sense given the University of Britechester was an arts…

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, U2 Previous | Chapter Listing | Next It was weird to only have a floor left. The counters and the appliances in the kitchen were still there, and Drake still had his laptop, but the rest of their furniture had been either sold or moved to Spire. Ezio was stretched out on the wood, gently petting Mayor as the cat snoozed beside him. Drake sat not far away, typing away on his laptop. Ezio had eventually asked him how much he made in royalties, and he did make a good deal, around three thousand, closer to four sometimes. It was enough to…

Come Thru; Summer Walker, Usher Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Everything was going a little better. Ezio still occasionally had to endure a nasty migraine for a few days, the whispering was still there off and on, but he could think, and, thanks to the necklace Cassandra had left him, he could sleep, too. The effects would wear off sooner or later, he should think, when what magic she’d incidentally imparted to it faded, but he’d worry about it then. Maybe he’d trade her necklaces, give her this one and one of his own in exchange for one of hers. It was all only until they had all moved…

Realms; Hinkik, A Himitsu Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Every so often, the whispering got a little louder. Ezio mostly tried to ignore it, because focusing on it wouldn’t get him anywhere, to be sure. All thinking about it was doing was making him paranoid. He stood in the kitchen, watching the teapot do its thing, listening to the sound of the birds chirping, the voices from downstairs, car horns honking in the distance. Ezio hadn’t been very fond of the city, when he’d first come here, but it had grown on him over time. Now, he imagined living anywhere else would prove to be too quiet for him.…

Cosmos, t.A.T.u. Previous | Chapter Listing | Next “There’s some magic residue in there that I can’t figure out what is,” Drake said, shuffling around the other side and sitting down. “I didn’t mess with it too much, I’d rather not cause more damage on accident.” Morgyn looked down at Ezio. He was still too quiet, and hadn’t moved the entire time he was there, either. It was unnerving, but then, things like this happened from time to time. Morgyn would say that one got used to it, but maybe it was something that no one ever really got used to. They’d been trying to figure out what had happened…
