Summary
Desire has always been better off in someone else's hands. It's too human for Gale's taste; too messy and too inadequate compared to all that it could be (or should be). The Blade of Frontiers knew, once, what should be—but Wyll, as he is, finds that knowledge slipping away until all that is left is his own daydreams. And what could those be worth?
But, by fortune's favor, they know they want each other. The cards are in their hands, there are layers left to shed... and when their thoughts are so loud, their uninvited guests are sure to contribute.

Summary
The life that William had abandoned had left a tapestry of scars in its wake, tying him back to old memories. The idea of talking about them feels like being trapped all over again—wholly contrary to every attempt he'd made to move on.
But he will move on, one way or another.
Happy birthday, William Ellis.

Summary
“Naib Subedar” is the one man left behind. Having lost everything that kept him tethered to his own humanity, he’s left rowing through dark vents in the walls of the place that took what was left of him. Murro Morton was an animal, then a friend, a brother, a hero—and then nothing at all, something left behind to be buried in a blizzard.
But something turned Naib into a monster, long before he could do it to himself. Someone wrote Murro’s fate, too, words scrawled by fingernails on closed-in walls.
(This is the moment before. This is a love story.)
Written for Moonlight Waltz, a vampiric zine.

Summary
The New Year's right after what happened was never going to be William's best—but seeing the magician on stage so soon, surrounded by ghosts who have far less to lose than he does, certainly doesn't help.
Kurt makes it his mission to whisk him right out of there—and if sharing a bottle of wine he stole from behind the counter might cheer him up, then that's exactly what he'll do.

(Kurt, of course, has never needed much of an excuse to play along.)

Summary
The Second Battle of Changchuan is over. The dust has settled. Bai Ze sits, taking heavy breaths. Her flute, dusty, bloodied, rests beside her thigh.

Summary
After escaping Hyla Island—false paradise that it was—with nothing but the hat on his head, Kevin finds that the adrenaline of his attempt to swim to freedom has started to fade. As the lurking suspicion that he's going to die alone in the ocean begins to creep up on him, he hears the sound of someone weeping. A merman, a siren, a ghost... it's hard to say what the mysterious creature he discovers may be.
Kevin made a promise, though, while he was on the island: he would help anyone who needed it. And, danger be damned, this thing needed his help.

Summary
William has been reading Kurt's novel, lately. Giving feedback could be a use for his literature degree, he reasoned—and who could Kurt trust more with his unfinished draft than his closest friend?
Seeing his own face written in the pages was always going to be strange, but the last thing he expected was for it to be written like poetry.

Summary
There are things in Kurt Frank’s life—formal clothing, fancy parties, ballroom dancing, makeup—that he wanted to leave behind forever. As a child, they were stuffy and suffocating. As an adult, they had become relics of the past.
There are things in William Ellis’s life that have yet to be uncovered. Questions that he had been searching for the answers to, parts of himself that he hadn’t understood how to question or explore until he met Kurt.
An invitation to a formal event within Oletus Manor quickly becomes an opportunity to reclaim the past and breathe new life into the future.
Written for Sunlit - a Trans IDV Zine.
