The Temple, Three Laws Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day… Lilith had no idea why that song was stuck in her head. She didn’t remember hearing all of it before, either, which meant that was the only line in her head, and it was annoyingly repetitive. This could’ve been solved quite easily if she’d thought to bring her earbuds. As it was, between the hustle and bustle of a hospital, the scent of blood, death, and disease, the weird tension and not-tension, and the song in her head, it was hard to concentrate on…

First of the Year (Equinox), Skrillex Previous | Chapter Listing | Next “I swear I’ve said it before,” Morgyn grumbled, “but I am not glass.” “I know you’re not,” Ezio answered, opening Morgyn’s hand and putting a bottle of spring water in it. “But you might just be dehydrated, which isn’t a good thing. You know you can only live for about three days without water, idiot.” The look on Morgyn’s face implied that Morgyn neither knew that before, nor cared much. The blond thankfully didn’t argue any more, and unscrewed the cap, taking a drink instead. Sometimes, Morgyn was like an overgrown child. It’d sure be nice to be…

Siren Song, Three Laws Previous | Chapter Listing | Next “Careful,” Caleb warned, eyebrows furrowing together. Morgyn just gave him an exasperated look, sitting up and taking the glass of tea. “I’m not glass suddenly,” Morgyn grumbled into the cup. Caleb released a quiet sigh. He knew that, really he did. Morgyn just worried him, a lot. For some reason, it just felt like there was something seriously wrong, some great reason to be so concerned. Ezio seemed to sense it, too, judging by how he acted, but mysteriously, the spellcaster wasn’t sharing what he felt. Caleb liked Ezio well enough. He was generally very kind, and well-meaning, and he…

Crann Na Beatha, Adrian Von Ziegler Previous | Chapter Listing | Next This was getting irritating. He was getting steadily worse, the more days went by. The worse he got, the harder it would be to fix it. Every time Lilith tried getting closer to the Charms, tried to right what had turned out so wrong, something or another got in the way. As it was, she’d been living in this tree outside their manor for the last week or something, and it was getting grating on a level Lilith had no words for. Okay, she had a few words for it. None of them were terribly kind words. In…

Prayer, Disturbed Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Despite following him for several days now, Markus hadn’t done anything particularly incriminating. Lilith had been tailing him off and on with the hope that sooner or later, he’d tell her exactly what he was doing here, and what it was that Miss Hell had sent him here for (Lilith wasn’t stupid enough to think this had nothing to do with Miss Hell). Lilith’s reasons for disliking Miss Hell and wanting to rip her apart were quite simple; Miss Hell turned Caleb. Caleb didn’t take it well. That meant, more or less, Miss Hell had hurt Caleb. And that just didn’t fly…

Infra-Red, Placebo Previous | Chapter Listing | Next He had no idea what he was going to do. Ezio settled down on the floor beside the bed, one arm resting on it, watching Morgyn sleep. Mayor moved over and laid down on one of his ankles, and together they stood watch over the blond idiot that had no idea everything had just irrevocably changed. His hand moved, gently running Ezio’s fingers through Morgyn’s hair. After a moment, his fingers began to loose sparkles of golden magic, weaving spells into the blond strands. Ezio hadn’t used defensive magic in so long, he almost didn’t recognise what it felt like. He had…

Between Two Points, The Glitch Mob ft. Swan Previous | Chapter Listing | Next It smelled like Morgyn in his room. That made sense. It wasn’t like Morgyn hadn’t been sleeping in his room for the last few days, but it still somehow caught him by surprise, and Ezio ended up moving back out into the living room. He couldn’t deal with the scent right now. He still didn’t know what he felt. Was he angry? Maybe he was. Maybe Morgyn was right, and Ezio was just holding onto things that he shouldn’t be holding onto, letting things hurt him that he shouldn’t be letting hurt him. Ezio liked to…

Face Up, Lights Previous | Chapter Listing | Next When Ezio woke up, he was still lying partially in Drake’s lap, using his leg as a pillow. Ezio blinked up at him, a bit confused, but Drake had apparently just gone on writing whatever it was he was working on this time. Here and there, Ezio would read the books Drake published, and he tried to be covert about it. It seemed like something that might be embarrassing for him, because Drake was strange that way, but Ezio found it kind of adorable. He’d asked Cassandra, of course, why she wanted to keep him, but then when he thought to…

Come Clean, Hilary Duff Previous | Chapter Listing | Next They’d agreed to meet up around noon, so there wasn’t a lot of rushing to do, but for some reason, Ezio was already awake and rummaging through his dresser. Mayor was laying on top of the wood, occasionally reaching a paw into the drawer because obviously, Ezio was playing with the clothes in the drawers specifically so that Mayor could play with them. Of course Ezio did. What other reason could he possibly have? Today, of course, was Saturday, and he had a not-date at a coffee shop. It was not a date. So there was no sense in being…

This Is Your Life, Switchfoot Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Strangely, Morgyn was already awake, when the sunlight spilled in Ezio’s bedroom windows. The blond had spent the entire time watching the sun rise, the sky slowly change colours, the city lights dim away, and Morgyn had to admit, Ezio was onto something with liking San Myshuno so much. It was pretty, just in a very different way than Morgyn was accustomed to. It wouldn’t be so bad, living here. Already, Morgyn was getting used to the noise level, and it’d be nice to be so close to Ezio again. It was already decided, in the sage’s mind, that…
