    Summary

    “If you get out there while you’re drugged there’s no telling what you’ll do,” Wylan said, pushing past Kaz to get back to his work station. “I’d think you'd want to avoid pulling the Dregs into this gang war.” He yanked a cabinet open and rummaged around for a pipette. Opened the vial. Drew out a drop. In his head he ran through the motions of the synthesis: he’d gotten close, before, with the blood sample. All he had to do now was see it through to the finish.

    “I know that.” Kaz’s voice was nearly a snarl, but then again it always sounded like that. There was still time. “I mean, why didn’t you lock it from the outside?

    “Like that would stop you," Wylan scoffed. "You need an antidote. You said the others were dead within the hour.”

    “Only after killing everyone in their vicinity, Merchling, did you forget that part?”

    Summary

    Suddenly, their eyes met, and Tighnari felt a shudder of awe ripple through him - those irises beheld a red deeper than the richest of rubies, the god’s eyes were captivating. The bone-deep fear he felt in the darkness had long since dissipated in the other’s presence, so it was the prolonged eye contact that pulled his eyes away. He was never the best in other’s company.

    Tighnari felt like the god could see right through him, as if he were glass, and the other could judge every single decision he’d ever made.

    A re-imagined tale of Hades and Persephone, retold through the lens of Tighnari, a young godling with a fondness for flowers who stumbles his way into the Underworld and finds himself face to face with the Lord of the Dead himself. Tighnari seeks reprieve from all that his mother wishes upon him, and the Underworld begins to offer him so many more comforts than he would've hoped for.

    Summary

    What am I doing here? Wylan didn’t need to know what con Kaz was pulling this time. He should be at home, finishing up the last of this year’s paperwork. He’d sworn off heists and blackmail and all of Kaz’s particular brand of nonsense.

    But of course, he knew the answer. I’m here for him. If Kaz was here, then Jesper would be at his side.

    Wylan has spent the last five years trying to leave his criminal past behind, but he might have left something of himself behind with it.

    Summary

    (In the process of editing everything before posting the last two chapters !! Thank u everyone for your patience<33 )

    "Wylan Van Eck, until the age of 8, felt like royalty. Like the world was made for him, and him alone. He could do anything he wanted to. He could dream of a future so expansive he'd have to live multiple lives in order to fit everything he wanted to do.

    But Wylan Van Eck, at 22 years old, cannot even leave his apartment."

    (aka. Wylan has agoraphobia n Jesper moves into the apartment next to him <3)

    Summary

    "If the stakes get too high, I want you to fold, okay?"

    "Okay."

    Jesper brushes the pad of his thumb over Wylan's lower lip and leans in. "Then ante up, merchling."

    Jesper teaches Wylan to play cards. (There are no actual cards involved).
