    Summary

    "Without another thought, Lucio finds his feet carrying him. He finds routine, another one of his, to loom over her as she has in her waking, and stare at the rise and fall of her chest, her hand still wrapped around a bottle on the floor, fallen off the couch..."

    Or: What if Lucio followed through with his plan? Eventually..

    Summary

    Occtis opened his eyes and looked down at the paper again. The pen hovering in the air had splotched ink onto the blank space, and he sighed, scrubbing his free hand through his tangled hair.

    There was absolutely no reason why he should be having this much trouble with this paper, other than the nagging headache and the strange chill that had been making him shiver for at least an hour, even though the dorms were enchanted to stay at a pleasant temperature. He knew the material, this wasn't one of his harder classes, and it should have been an easy enough assignment, except for how it wasn't.

    Or: Occtis spends finals week growing dangerously sick in his dorm room, with no one around to help him except his new familiar, and learns for the first time just how deeply a dead thing loves him.

    Summary

    Occtis Tachonis knows death, until his own is complicated by his resurrection. He cannot recall the circumstances of his own murder, but he knows there is something in him missing, something bound by unknown magic to another.

    Julien Davinos savors life, until everything he cares about is slaughtered by House Tachonis. He does not intend to live past his vengeance, but something in this world or the next has other plans.

    AKA

    The canon-divergent fic where the happenings at the Palazzo Davinos go down differently, and part of Occtis' soul ends up tethered to Julien's shadow.

    Summary

    He hated it. Every second of it, how pathetic it made him feel. The vulgar, out-of-place proposition; the song-and-dance they've already been doing for months now. The way Gubo was always so gross about it: somehow too vague and startlingly direct simultaneously. The fact that even now, Jia Huan wanted to get up and knock on his door. Go to him.
    Instead, he turned away. Curled in on himself; lost himself to a deep, sticky, restless dream that was sure to leave him exhausted in the morning. He was coming to terms with the fact that the circumstances he found himself in were not shaping up into a love story at all.

     

    Nelly notices the first inclincs of unrequited love between her two least pleasant coworkers and, in order to save everyone from certain doom, ropes Sonya, Ahab and Aseah into a conspiracy to force the two together. Thus begins a tale of troubles, tribulations and tropes.

    Summary

    Newly ten years old, Jia Baoyu already knows that there’s very little he can do to change the world around him. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t wish things were different though. So when a venture with his Grandmother takes him into the fallen La Manchaland, Jia Baoyu decides to try and help someone, one last time.

    Don Quixote of La Manchaland has spent the last two hundred years dwelling on all his failures, and has come to the only logical conclusion: That his nature as a bloodfiend prevents any manner of change, and that his dream had been nothing but a fantasy. With his family dead, he has resigned himself to the same fate; only to end up living with a small human child who still has a dream of his own.

    Maybe they can both learn something from each other.

    (Or: Jia Baoyu dreams, Jia Mu schemes, and Don Quixote relearns what it means to try.)
