Summary
The boy sits awkwardly in the chair, hunched forward and gripping his own bleeding hand.
Techno hadn’t noticed it before. There’s a long, thick cut right across his palm.
The kid shrugs when Techno asks about it. “Held something.” His mouth twists into a bitter sort of grin, teeth glistening. “Held something fucking sharp.”
Techno focuses too much on first aid to ask many questions. The kid, in turn, doesn’t speak much, aside from a shaky, “Tommy,” when Techno asks his name.
Tommy. Tommy, the kid who escaped from…something. Tommy, who ran through the city streets with bare feet and a bleeding palm because he needed saving. Tommy, who is currently sitting in one of Techno’s kitchen chairs.
---
Tommy is a vigilante named Flare. Techno is the man who saved him. Techno is also the man hunting Flare down.

Summary
Tommy is deeply, achingly aware of his friends’ kindnesses. Phil had been the one to offer a spare room, with the only catch being a cost of rent far cheaper than what it should have been. But Phil had only shrugged with a slight grin.
Phil is great like that. So is Techno. So is Wilbur.
Tommy…isn’t. He just isn’t. He has nothing to him, he’s substanceless—and he feels it, in the way that the frigid winds in the August nights threaten to blow him away, like he’s made of nothing but sand.
Tommy imagines that death will be like that. He imagines that he’ll close his eyes, and his body will finally break apart and decay right then and there. He imagines that that will be the only way his memory persists—like stubborn sand hidden in the creases of the carpet.
---
Tommy decides that life is just too much. His friends decide that Tommy is wrong.
(In which Tommy tries to kill himself, and his friends work to bring him back from the ledge).

Summary
“I’m not tired,” Tommy complains into Phil’s fur, but Phil isn’t having it. He simply purrs in apology and licks the tangles out of Tommy’s curls.
It’s silent long enough that Phil finally starts to give into the haze of sleep.
Then, “It’s cold, Phil.”
It is. It is cold.
Phil prays his own fever is enough to keep Tommy warm through the night.
---
It's hard for Phil, a cat, to look after a young toddler. It's even harder as the pair lives on the streets, getting colder by the day as winter steadily approaches.
Then the pair get picked up by a tall witch, and his tusked familiar. In the midst of a magical home, Phil learns about himself, cares for Tommy, and struggles with a sense of guilt and self-worth.

Summary
His eyes flicker over all of the boy’s features—his round, blue eyes, lashes fluttering, eyes shifting. His strong chin and nose, not…completely dissimilar to Wilbur’s. Golden curls, curving and waving down Tommy’s forehead, twisting around his ears.
Wilbur can feel his own curls do just the same.
A sort of airy insanity fills Wilbur’s chest as he brings a shaky hand towards Tommy’s hair. So similar to his own.
The barked laugh comes out so quick Wilbur almost chokes on it.
Holy shit.
This is his son.
He’s a fucking father.
---
Wilbur awakes in a hospital bed with no memory of the past few years. The only thing he knows is that Tommy—passionate, stubborn, worried—has got to be his son.
Right?

Summary
There’s a grunt. One, two, three, quick and panicked, and suddenly a large, fluffy mass is leaning into Tommy’s space.
Still curled up in pain, Tommy almost misses it—almost misses the dilation of Techno’s pupils, almost misses the constant chuff, chuff, chuff, and snort, snort, snort, as Techno’s head dips down to look at him. But Tommy’s been looking for it all week, so, as if magnetized, Tommy still lifts his pained head upward.
Instinct-Techno is back. The Instinct-Techno that looks out for him. The Instinct-Techno that actually cares.
---
When Tommy was first rescued, he had told his crew that humans couldn't stand touch. Now, touch-starved and lonely, Tommy was willing to hold onto that secret forever.
But when Techno falls into his instincts, Tommy's resolve starts to crumble, and he starts to wonder exactly what he has to do to get this love all the time.

Summary
“Have I ever been a good manservant?” Merlin asked, because he couldn’t very well say ask me for something else and see what I wouldn’t give to you. It should have been more insulting that this of all things was what finally made Arthur relax.
Merlin confuses a typical favor with one of the gift-giving, courtly variety when Camelot hosts a winter tournament. Arthur tries his hand at courtship.

Summary
Arthur, Merlin, and the knights stop in at a local tavern for a hot meal and drinks. They don’t expect knights from the nearby kingdom to drop by as well or for one knight in particular to take a rather special interest in Merlin. And, honestly, they aren’t having it.
Basically Merlin starts a tavern brawl but really it’s not his fault.
He can’t help he’s pretty.

Summary
The dreams begin five days after Merlin’s execution.
The dreams— colors and shapes made from the wreckages of Arthur’s memories, as meaningless as words like loyalty and friendship— begin with the gentle questioning of something uncertain of its own right to exist.
And Arthur answers the question the only way he can— with his mind turned away from the thoughts that filled him at night, facing the morning with nothing more than a frown and a promise not to think of his dream again.
There are more important things to face, anyway. Whatever his father has planned each day, it leaves no room for Arthur to think of petty things like a moment of a bad dream.
<>
Merlin's a traitor. Merlin's a sorcerer. Merlin's dead and no longer a problem.
Or, at least, he would be-- if he hadn't shifted into Arthur's dreams instead. Not a ghost but still not quite there, Merlin fills the place in Arthur's head at night. At first, Arthur does all he can to ignore it. Eventually, though, he has no choice but to speak with the man who broke his trust.
