    Summary

    "It takes more than a blow from you to keep me down, brother." His uncle Baelor said and he clapped a hand on his father's shoulder with a gesture of forgiveness and camaraderie, "I admit my head rings like a bell but I am well enough to walk it seems. The Gods are not done with me yet." A man who had taken a mace to the head should be bedridden, blind or drooling and not standing here joking about taking a blow to the head.

    His uncle smiled with his teeth white and straight and for a second, the light caught his eyes in a way that made them look flat like painted glass. The sight of it made Aerion take a step back, just enough to make the floor creak underneath him.

    That is no uncle of mine, Aerion wants to say.

    There's something wrong with his uncle after the Ashford Tourney. Aerion Targaryen knows something is wrong even if the rest of his kin stare at him like he has lost his mind.

    Summary

    The chase is intoxicating, a symphony of senses. The taste of anticipation in the back of his throat. The thrum of his own heartbeat, a frantic pulse against his ribs. The knowledge that Jayce is out there, a predator moving with singular purpose, focused entirely on him. He isn't just running; he is being watched, pursued, wanted.

    Summary

    "Hey,” Olruggio says. It’s late—long past when they were supposed to be back from their trip beyond the Great Hall—so they have the baths to themselves. Olruggio bathes; Qifrey perches on the edge and scowls at the water. “Are you really missing an eye?”

    Or: Olruggio tries to give Qifrey a piece of what he is missing.

    Summary

    This wasn’t how Jayce had imagined it would happen.

    In his moments of weakness, late at night, with sleep eluding him and desire pooling in his lower abdomen, he had allowed himself to picture something quite different from this. His mind conjured up scenarios in which they both stumbled into bed, clothes tugged off their bodies, as they laughed between hungry kisses. He had imagined Viktor, flushed and happy, reaching for him with the same feverish lust and need that Jayce felt.

    He never imagined him like this.

    Viktor sat on the bed, looking incredibly small. His head was bowed in shame, his hair obscuring his eyes. His graceful hands were resting together on his lap, his fingers clasped in supplication. He was trembling, and Jayce didn’t know if it was from nerves or pain—or a terrible combination of both. Jayce wanted to wrap his arms around him and promise that everything would be okay.

    That he would fix everything.

    That he would save him.

    When stigmata blooms across Viktor’s body, Jayce knows he’ll do anything to save him. Even if it means ripping the holiness out of him with his own bare hands.
