    Summary

    “Julien, that’s enough.”

    The words sounded so familiar they made Julien snap his mouth shut with a force of a command received countless times before. Only after that he realized neither the voice nor the tone did match and turned his head to the side to glare at the owner of this voice. Occtis met his gaze straight on, his eyes angry green and unblinking.

    ~

    Or: A scuffle with Thimble leads Julien to a conversation with Occtis, a few unwanted realizations, and one he very much needed.

    Summary

    Julien and Occtis take the opportunity to talk during their last night in Dol-Makjar, knowing that the next day they will head northward towards Timmony, and eventually the Golden Orchard.

    “Hey, this is for you. Though you probably don’t need it.”

    A bottle of wine was pressed into his hands and Occtis sat down in front of him, almost prim even when he was seated on the ground.

    “It’s from Hal’s cellar, so it’s gotten a little warm, I hope that’s fine,” Occtis said. “I can’t drink it, so…”

    “I don’t mind warm wine,” Julien said, popping off the cork and taking a swig. Not Davinos wine, but tolerable. “And tonight is a good night not to think.”

    “We won’t have Thaisha with us to get rid of your hangover in the morning,” Occtis warned.

    “She wouldn’t have done it anyway, so the situation has not changed,” Julien said. He studied Occtis a moment. He still looked a little banged up, but better than before. “Someone finally got around to tending your injuries?”

    “Uh, yeah. Kattigan,” Occtis said.

    “I’ll have to remember to thank him,” Julien said, taking another gulp of wine.

    Summary

    Julien knew two things to be true: one, his luck had always been abysmal, and two, Taisha Lloy could scent vulnerability like a wolf could smell blood. She just couldn’t resist a project. After all, it was one of her little projects that had gotten them into this mess in the first place. 


    In which, Taisha finds Julien in the bathhouse, Julien finds himself fixating on death, and Occtis, who happens to be a little bit dead, finds himself briefly underwater.

    Summary

    A frustrating experience during a battle causes Julien and Occtis to reassess the argument that they had outside Obrimus Manor.

    “What the fuck was that?” Julien’s voice was loud and clear and, most of all, more furious than Occtis had ever heard it before.

    He grimaced slightly, but he wasn’t the one being yelled at, not this time, so he decided to take a few steps away from the group to begin the process of re-summoning Pin, who’d been destroyed in the battle.

    “What was what?” Thimble asked, and she sounded genuinely confused. Human-sized again, and Occtis had almost gotten used to that. “Kattigan saved your life back there. Why are you so angry about it?”

    It was an odd little reminder that Thimble hadn’t been along during Occtis’s trip with Julien to the old empire. She didn’t know Julien, not really. She knew some version of him that he’d been before his father had been murdered, but she didn’t know him now.

    “I didn’t need any help,” Julien said, and Occtis could see him glaring around at the others. “I was fine.”

    Summary

    "Yeah, well, if she sees you holding me like this you're in just as much danger. She'll get the wrong impression."

    "And what wrong impression is that?"

    That you might not actually hate me? That this might be a case of mutual attraction? That my body will still function so I can have the sort of physical relationship that I'm really fucking wanting right now?

    "Julien," Occtis says with quiet deadpan despite the cacophony in his head and the phantom thundering of his heart, "you have your hand around my neck and I'm completely naked. I'm pretty sure that's going to give anyone the wrong impression."

    “Julien,” Occtis tried, his voice barely over a whisper. “Do you want to kill me?”

    Or: When the new Seekers find a temporary reprieve as guests in King Gus’ castle, Occtis tries to wrestle with the haunting memories of what happened to him. As he gives in to the panic, he isn’t expecting Julien to even care, much less to actually help him get through it.

    Summary

    “For someone who doesn’t trust me, you were very quick to choose an option of treatment which, arguably, implies that you believe I can keep you alive and whole,” Occtis says without looking up from his task.

    “I had very little choice,” Julien says. “I will not simply lay down and die, and I refuse to lose my arm without trying to save it. What I do or do not believe has nothing to do with it.”

    “I see.”

    There’s something in the boy’s voice, or maybe in the set of his shoulders, that causes Julien to take notice. “Do you believe you can save me?”

    Summary

    That damnable woman, Julien thinks as he stares at the figure's slim back, thinking of Thaisha's parting words, she set me up, didn't she?

    "Tachonis," he calls out, letting a grim smile stretch across his lips, "it has been a while, hasn't it?"

    “What if you were right?” Occtis whispers.

    “I don’t think-” Julien starts.

    “What if I'm not me? What if I'm not in control?” his voice breaks.

    Julien doesn’t know how to fix it. There’s a strange ache in his chest as he watches Occtis caving in on himself. Julien has witnessed this with a few mentees in the Barrowguard, but teaching them a better stab or punch tends to set them right. He knows that won’t work with Occtis.

    He decides that the truth may be what’s best. He probably can’t make this all any worse.

    Summary

    Julien. Why should I change my name?”

    Julien sighs again. The hand stills.

    “Well, when I say I have personally rid the world of all Tachonis heirs, I want to be right.”

    “My family disowned me,” Occtis replies. Flatly. His family killed him.

    “You are still a Tachonis,” Julien retorts, just as matter-of-factly.

    This time, Occtis is able to roll over, face to face with Julien. Of all the places he thought he’d end up when Thaisha Lloy had asked for his assistance in Venatus, lying in bed with the notoriously promiscuous Sir Julien Davinos was not one of them. The fact he is here out of choice, and because he wants to be, would have been so far out of believability to be laughable.

    Occtis nearly upsets several candles in his surprise, “What? No! Why would I be-? I’m mourning your father.”

    A conversation by candlelight, an honorable ritual and the things people can still actually feel.

    Summary

    The last thing Julien ever wished to see as he stumbled drunk into the first guestroom door was the Tachonis boy asleep on the bed, laid out beneath the crisp sheets like the corpse he is.

    A necromancer of the Famed House Tachonis, huh?

    Despite the cold gauntness that clings to the boy, Occtis still looks… harmless. Thaisha had done a fairly good job cleaning him up, but Julien’s eyes catch streaks of blood she missed in his hair. Julien feels a strange sort of impulse to fetch a cloth and wash it out himself, which passes like a wave crashing over the rocks (he has a strange inclination that it will return if he overstays his welcome in this room).

     

    Or: Julien is drunk, grieving, and is (against his will) worried Occtis is cold. Occtis is failing to sleep.

    He’s not spared even a cantrip of thought as he charges up the final set of stairs, charging into the room at the top of the tower. There are more ghouls, so many ghouls, but Aranessa is there, and she imbues him with Haste the moment she sees him, but where—

    Julien’s ears ring with the scream that tears out of his chest, his throat burning as through fire had raced across it.

    On the table, green eyes wide and vacant, lies Occtis, chest artlessly cut open.

    There is only one person left in this world who Julien loves.

    In another time, Julien Davinos and Occtis Tachonis met more than a year before the death of Thjazi Fang and fell in love. It's not enough to stop a tragedy.

    When Legolas enters a small jewelry store completely by chance, he doesn't expect anything significant to happen. He certainly doesn't expect to encounter someone he hadn't even realized he had lost.

    Gimli, on the other hand, is rather determined to hold onto his newfound happiness, and will not let anything bring him down.
