    Summary

    He sees things, sometimes. Has always seen, never understood, but never quite rejected images of which he knew so little about. At times, he has found himself clinging to them, images of people he never quite knew, but they have always felt much too real, enough to keep him company, enough to make him human. They don’t know his name, nor what he looks like, let alone acknowledge his existence. He’s a spectator, nothing more. He attaches onto people who might as well be dead.

    Seer, he’s told. Not human, but a druid, and a seer.

    Summary

    It has become a habit, how they'd meet in Gatto's laboratory and share one of Luca's new eccentric coffees. Gatto came to appreciate Noir's presence and the personality he'd show only to him. Those moments were theirs and no one else's. A rare respite in their busy lives.

    Or 5 times Gatto and Noir share coffee, and 1 time White invites Gatto for tea.

    Summary

    Eli had never realized he was human. The possibility had always slipped past him. After all, he lived like a bird in a cage, a cherished play thing. A well used tool.  Only useful, never really alive. You could crack him open like a fortune cookie and see what he said on the inside- but, at least for now,  he was far too precious to be broken.

    So, instead, he was kept in. He had an entire wing of the castle to himself, a courtyard filled with beautiful flowers from countries he'd never hope to visit, fine silks that shimmered like the surface of a sunlit pool, the adoration of an entire court and its queen- but, if you had been born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you wouldn't realize that it was any different from pewter.

    Silk and cotton, flowers and weeds, glass and diamonds were all the same to him. His life had always been enough for him. Perhaps, one day, he'd be able to lie down in that garden of his and die contented, lacking nothing. 

    Only because he’s never realized that he’s wanted something more. 

    ---

    a tragic little elisop oneshot, more details about this inane au in the notes.

    Summary

    "I- I noticed you seperate your food." Eli starts. He sounds nervous.

    "You don't like it touching, so I thought I could do it for you. So you wouldn't have to..."

    He shrugs. He bites at his lips.

    They are chapped.

    "So you wouldn't have to- do it yourself. You know."

    Summary

    Eli knows hes overworking himself, but he can't seem to bring himself to take a break. Too paranoid about his position in the Abyssal order, it'll take someone just as stubborn if not more to get him to relax. Good thing Aesop knew what he was signing up for when he proposed months earlier.

    Summary

    ". . . Admittedly, Aesop could stay here for the rest of his life, sitting comfortably next to the warmth of Eli’s body, keeping each other company in the nighttime without so much as a whisper between them. He didn’t mind talking to him, sure, but the fact of the matter was he was happy being around him even if they didn’t even verbally acknowledge the other person’s presence."

    Aesop Carl stays awake later than most, purely to appreciate the peace and quiet of actually being alone in the Manor. Tonight, however, Eli would like to keep him company, at least for a little.

    Summary

    at least it wasn’t entirely miserable outside. maybe the night belonged to demons and horrors, but they were a risk he was willing to take if it meant some peace. the darkness was almost a relief for his eyes, and andrew preferred the chill and the smell of earth to the stuffiness of the manor; it was as familiar to him as the dirt underfoot in that old cemetery. so he allowed himself to take it all in as he paced about, one hand against the stony walls, watching his breath fog up in front of him.

    but that was all he had to guide him. he didn’t hear the stranger’s muffled breathing, or catch their huddled form against the estate’s walls, observing something between the cracks. so that’s how he ended up tumbling over a mass of cloth and mesh, face-first into the untended grass.

    Summary

    “M’sorry Plinius.” he says.

    “For everythin.”

    He breathes again, a breath that he does not need to take.

    “For the grief I’ve caused, for my recklessness. I’m not good with people, never was. Ya didn’t deserve what happened to ya.”

    “But I’m glad it was you who lived in the end. Ya deserve everythin’.”

    Norton puts his hand on her head and uses the hat to ruffle her hair gently.

    “And that’s okay, Plinius. That’s okay. I wouldn’t have preferred it any other way.”

    Summary

    "he said i seemed like a 'nice boy'," emil laughs a little, low in his throat and breathy, "and that i was tall and strong and could lift heavy bags."

    "well, he's right," ada assures, humming with a soft, endeared smile, "you're very tall. and rather strong, too. picking up an entire woman is no easy feat."

    "you're not that heavy," he pouts, "and you're small ... much smaller than i am. you're all the way down there—"

    emil makes a little display of their heights with his hands. ada's is a bit lower, and he raises it with an almost mischievous little smile, "—and i'm all the way up here."

     

    [ emil and ada are settling into their paradise after two years of a long, hard journey across the country on the run. settled now into a peaceful, quiet mountain town, isolated from the world with new names to cover their identity, emil must learn to read—a task proving much easier said than done. ]
