Summary
“You know,” Olruggio says, roughly. He doesn’t move to take Qifrey’s hand again. “You know. You can’t not know, Qifrey.”
Qifrey just looks at him. “I do.”
The rain continues falling.
(And so Olruggio forgets. And he inevitably figures it out again, because of course he does; and he inevitably chooses to forget again, and again, and again, because his heart is always the same. The story is always the same. Like a tale from under a silverwood tree, like a myth from the days of old, not so much tied by the constraints of the narrative so much as being narrative itself. Antigone must bury her brother. Iphigenia must be put to death. At a thousand turns, in a thousand ways, Orpheus must turn, and he must look, again, and again.
And Olruggio forgets.)
There is an old story about a witch and a silverwood tree.

Summary
He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”
Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.

Summary
He kisses Essek’s jaw, then the soft spot just shy of his ear. Essek hums and tips his head to guide his lips.
“I can tell you do not want to talk about it,” Caleb mumbles. He kisses the torn lobe of Essek’s ear where Jester has healed it closed; he’ll need to pierce it again sometime if he wants to replace the earring. Caleb thinks this, and moves to kiss his neck again. “But I am going to find it hard to sleep if I don't feel you next to me tonight.”In broad daylight, Essek is attacked. His friends do not know why or by whom until it is too late.
E rating in chapters 1, 5, and 11.

Summary
“You accused me of treating this like a game. I am sorry if I’ve led you to believe that it is only a game—though I won't deny that part of it is.” Bren gives a disarming smile. “My life is either games or murder, after all.”
“Or mail fraud,” Thelyss says dryly, not even a little disarmed.
“The mail fraud is a sort of game as well.”
A sigh. “Is this your way of telling me that you intend to continue playing?”
Bren smiles again, sharper. “If you would let me.”(In which Bren Aldric Ermendrud decides to seduce the Shadowhand and finds that the best way to convince someone to be vulnerable with you is to be vulnerable in turn.)

Summary
Essek Week Day 6: Tower.
Essek and Caleb are busy running an ever-growing academy. It should not come as a surprise that they forgot they were supposed to announce their engagement to their friends, or to actually plan their wedding.
"I mentioned our engagement, and Beau seemed... surprised. Is she the only one you forgot to tell?"
Caleb tries to turn around immediately, but Essek doesn't let him, softly makes him get back in place so he can continue braiding his hair. "We did not exactly have a traditional proposal," Caleb starts. "I kept thinking that I would tell them when we had a date, at least an approximate one, but then the talks about it stopped and I...worried you had changed your mind."
Essek lets out a chuckle. Relieved, embarrassed. "I have been doing the same thing this entire evening."
