    Summary

    Aki licked his lips, chapped in the cold weather. They have a warm pinkness to them after he’s done, and the colour reminded Angel of a limited cotton candy ice cream he’d gotten at one of the local vendors. It wasn’t their best flavour, it’s not a surprise it didn’t maintain its stay.

    “If you were me… What would you do?”

    He’s relieved that’s the question. It’s the easiest one he’s gotten all day. All week. Maybe the easiest one he’s gotten his entire life.

    “That’s simple. I’d run and never look back.”

    Or:

    Aki Hayakawa chooses differently. Angel Devil bears in the tide.

    Summary

    Angel and Aki watched, captivated by the display. The weight of it sat heavy on the unspoken relationship that had brought them to stand together at the fence.

    The cranes made it look so easy.

    ‘I think it’s a nice idea.’ The quiet assertion escaped from behind the safety of Angel’s scarf. ‘Committing to your person, making an entire life together.’

    ‘It is.’ Aki’s problem wasn’t with mating for life as a concept.

    Aki reluctantly invites Angel to accompany him on his yearly visit to the family grave in Hokkaido. Red-crowned cranes act as a catalyst for change.

    Summary

    When Angel reaches out, their fingers brush for just a moment. He jerks his hand away, his body filled with a strange and unnerving electricity at the contact. He blinks at the boy standing over him. His eyes have widened almost imperceptibly and Angel watches his hand clench as he pulls it away. Did he feel it too?

    Summary

    When Angel dies, he feels relieved.

    There’s no more sleep, no more dreams, no more humans blaming him for their deaths. Hell is kind.

    Hell is peaceful. Until Angel dies there too.

    ---

    In which Angel reincarnates and doesn't remember his past lives. He has an obsession for artworks who depicts angels and one day, he falls for the new guard in his favorite museum. He goes through life, wondering why everyone seems to know things about him that he doesn't.

    Summary

    Love was something between the teeth. Intimacy was to be chewed and swallowed into digestion. To eat with a raw fury. To eat and eat until his stomach hurt, until all of Aki was inside of him. He thought that to be destroyed was what it meant to be revered, to be cherished. That when his mind and body ached with lust, it was really just hunger. That wanting Aki inside of him meant he had to bite down first.

    Summary

    “He’s here again.”

    “Hm?”

    “Your iced black coffee with oat milk, no sugar man,” Himeno says as she nods towards the door, crouching back down to sift through the fridge. They’re running low on soy milk; there might be a fit if they can’t get more by the time the evening rush hits. “Right on time, too.”

    And Angel lifts his head, dog-earing his book and peeking from under his lashes to watch as the iced black coffee with oat milk, no sugar man walks through the door. Not his iced black coffee with oat milk, no sugar man, just—a man. That man.

    Aki—Ah-kee.

    Summary

    Aki feels sick. He can’t stop. He tastes his own blood in Angel’s mouth, and beneath that the sickly sweetness of ice cream, and beneath that…something, something that draws him in, makes him deepen the kiss, licking into Angel’s mouth to get at that incredible taste. It takes much too long for the realization to hit him: that taste is Angel, just Angel, finally with no barriers between them.

    Aki jolts away again, his breathing ragged. His body so badly wants to keep going, but he denies himself and steps back, wiping his mouth on the back of his hand. He stares at the mess left behind, his own blood indistinguishable from Angel’s. It makes him want to spill even more.

    “What now?” Angel asks.

    Aki looks at him and sees all the ways he could hurt Angel, all the places he could cut and claw and bite—yet, in the same moment, he sees the ways he could bring Angel bliss. Pain and pleasure, now impossibly intertwined.

    “I have an idea,” Aki says.

    ---

    Desperate to alleviate the tension between them, Aki and Angel form a contract bathed in blood. Neither of them are prepared for what follows.

    Summary

    As he watches Angel stand almost knee deep in the water, bathed in sunlight and happy, Aki realizes two things.

    One is that he is hopelessly in love with him.

    And two-

    “I never thanked you,” Aki winces at the way his voice cracks, and Angel looks up at him from where he’s crouched to watch the small fish swim by. He’s visibly confused, tilting his head enough that the tips of his hair dip into the water. “For saving me that day on the beach.”

    The role of charming gentleman caller fit Armand better than any others she had been forced to fill.

    Summary

    “If there’s something else you’d prefer to happen you need only say it,” Armand said carefully. “I might allow you to do it if you ask. Certainly I wouldn’t laugh at whatever it is.”

     

    Armand watched the characters speak silently on the tv, their words drowned out by the music and the sound of other patrons. He tapped his fingers on the bar and imagined to himself what they might say. Ignored the steady throb of Daniel’s pulse as he screwed up his courage and then-

     

    “Sometimes I just get curious about what it’s like to be you, that’s all,” Daniel said suddenly.

     

    In which Armand and Daniel trade places for the night and Armand gets more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    Daniel’s excited. Thrilled, even. That doesn’t mean he isn’t panicking, worrying, fussing more and more with every passing day. He’s doing his best. He hopes he is.
    They’re having a baby come January, and it’s all he can do not to fall apart every time he so much as looks at Armand.

    (Or: 9 times Daniel got unnecessarily overprotective, and one time he did everything just right.)

    Summary

    From the dark corner of the room, Armand offered the helpful suggestions.

    "Daniel," he said softly, "pull her hair."

    "Daniel, turn her over and take her from behind."

    "Daniel, why don't you touch her clit so she can finish?"

    After she left, and Armand had pet the sweaty hair away from Daniel's forehead to look into his eyes, he searched again for thoughts, for images. Please, please, Daniel was thinking. Please what? But he knew, and with a little smile he gave Daniel the Blood from his tongue this time. Armand had yet to take his drink, but he wanted to reward the boy. The performance had been resplendent.

    “Hey,” Louis says.

    Daniel lifts his head as much as he can and dishes out his thinnest smile. “Hey, yourself.”

    He’s hogtied to the bed. Chained really, in a thin approximation of Da Vinci’s Vitruvian man. If Louis’ torrid tale on post-life living holds any water, it probably won’t be the last time he cedes himself into a situation like this either.

    Summary

    Louis realized he was waiting to see his face and he sat up, fingertips skating across his face to dispel the tears that had escaped. Armand touched those same fingertips and wiped them dry, his tongue coming out to lap against his bottom lip.

    This close Louis could smell him: pink pepper, elemi, and grapefruit. Cinnamon, vetiver, and paprika. He was gripped with the urge to kiss him and the thought made him jerk in surprise, his hands pulling free from where Armand held them.

    “Sorry, what did you want to ask me?”

    Armand studied him with a calculating eye before leaning in and pressing a small kiss right under his ear. Louis was so surprised and flushed, shuddering into the touch, that he almost missed the question.

    “What do you want to eat?”

     

    desire is a restaurant.
