    Summary

    Illuga was familiar with the Lightkeepers’ rules and regulations, and while fraternization was not strictly outlawed it was frowned upon. No one would bat an eye at a roll in the hay on the eve of battle or in the brittle silence after a funeral banquet. But to do so again, and again, and again…

    Well. It simply wasn’t done.

    So Illuga was going to stop doing it.

    Any day now.

    Summary

    Flins catches Illuga smoking. He feels very normal about it.

    As Illuga breathes in, Flins feels the plant fibres burn in his flame, but most vividly, the image returns: the embers of the cigarette lighting up azure, himself travelling along their path, past Illuga’s lips, his throat, burning in his lungs as his broad chest expands, penetrating his bloodstream, spreading outward into his strong limbs and stronger heart, being absorbed by Illuga wholly and fully, and it makes him feel more heady than anything he’s ever consumed in the past.

    Summary

    Flins has lots of thoughts about Illuga, about Illuga’s shoulders, Illuga’s smile, Illuga’s skin, Illuga’s hands- but monsters don’t deserve to walk in the light.

    The light has other ideas.

    Summary

    Flins is certain (correctly) that Illuga would entertain, if he may be so bold, intimate relations with himself. So why does his young master keep running away every time they get anywhere?

    Illuga is certain (incorrectly) that Flins is the type to want to take charge in the bedroom. Unfortunately, so is Illuga, and he hasn’t quite figured out the best way to broach this issue yet. As brave as the golden nightingale is, sometimes a tactical retreat is in order.

    Fortunately for them both, they figure it out in the end.

    Summary

    “I don’t need to know what you are,” Illuga says. “Just give me something. Something to cling to the next time you run headfirst into danger alone.”

    Flins sees the ghosts behind those pleading eyes, the shadows he tries to bathe in light, to pretend his lantern could drown them out rather than push them further into the corners of his mind. And he knows the stories, knows the haunted past that Illuga doesn’t like to talk about, the reason Flins’ answer matters.

    He settles on a simple, yet vague truth.

    “I am… not so easily killed,” he admits.

    “If you’re lying to me,” Illuga says. “I will summon you from the grave and kill you myself.”

    Summary

    The stone he arrives in front of is a gray granite. Same as every other headstone here. Same hopes, same regrets, same fate.

    Here lies Captain Illuga
    We thank him for his courage in the face of crisis
    May he shine bright for eternity

    Summary

    "You barely ever eat any human food."

    "A shame, really."

    "You must be starving."

    "Not particularly."

    "Then, if I offered you my heart, you would say no?"

    Illuga finds an old book that tells the tales of man-eating fae, and decides to test the reality of it.

    Summary

    “My little one. Oh my love,” Neuvillette catches the mother, joyful yet weary, say under her breath. “Don’t grow up too fast.”

    It doesn’t break him to hear that. Neuvillette lived at least a hundred human lifetimes. There are so many painful things he’s heard, it does not break him.

    But the next time he catches a sleepy smile from Wriothesley on the pillow beside him, the sky outside rumbles.

    Oh my love. He thinks, before he can stop himself. Don’t grow up too fast.

    How tragic it is. How funny. That the Hydro Dragon is falling in love with a human.

    Summary

    The petty vandalism of trampling flowers is hardly the sort of stakes that Barnaby is used to - even back when they were in the second league, it wasn't the sort of crime they'd bother with.

    And yet, it's the most satisfied Barnaby has felt in months. 

    -----

    If it was just up to him, he has little doubt that he and Kotetsu would be in each other's lives for the rest of their own, but Kotetsu has a bad habit of leaving Barnaby when the convenience of their working relationship breaks down.

    Summary

    Three things then happen in short succession:

    1) Barnaby realizes what he just blurted out and matches Kotetsu’s wide-eyed stare with his own frenzied gaze.

    2) Kotetsu’s grip on his wine glass slackens and drops it, where it rolls off the table to fall to the floor, the glass breaking into pieces and spilling wine all over Kotetsu’s dining room table and floor.

    3) Desperate to cling to any life preserver to save himself from the deadly riptide he's caught himself in by his impromptu confession, Barnaby shoots to his feet, eyes fixed on the spill.

    "That's going to stain!" he shouts, much too loud, and even as Kotetsu begins to mumble some sort of excuse, Barnaby is running to Kotetsu’s bathroom for a towel and definitely, definitely isn't thinking about how he just ruined everything.

    -----

    On August 14th, 1980, Barnaby Brooks Jr. kisses Kotetsu T. Kaburagi for the first time.

    Summary

    It feels almost cliched, particularly for them, to have this conversation on the roof of the training center. This is where they’re at, though, and his patience is wearing thin. 

    “Kotetsu, we need to talk.”

    He could have maybe phrased that better, based on the way his partner’s shoulders tense and the air between them instantly thickens. Even though this hadn’t exactly been the sort of tone he wanted to enter this conversation with, what’s done is done. He rests his hands on his hips and waits for Kotetsu to slowly, nervously, turn to face him. 

    -----

    “We never talked about it,” he says, gripping the leather sleeve of his jacket tightly and wishing that it was easier to clutch in his fist. “About what we said. Back when I thought you were dying.”

    In which Kotetsu and Barnaby have very little self-control when it comes to each other, Kotetsu isn't fond of wearing suits, and Barnaby's got a little bit of a thing for sock garters. Damn Kotetsu.
