    Summary

    A realm torn by darkness and hate. Racial tension deeply cultivated — every soul who tried to fight it and change this obscure ship’s course, crushed like flowers stepped on by boots. Two people destined to find each other.
    A human royal heir, skilled warrior and hunter, who knew nothing but the bitterness fed by his father — a cruel and violent king. Deep inside, the prince is a wounded man who fights the grief of his mother’s death — holding on to fragments of her smile and to the snippets he knows about her tragic fate. There was a softness to John that he never got to show, not even to himself — honey-brown eyes longing for deep and meaningful connection.
    An elf, always filled with compassion and kindness — dangerous traits for such a cruel world. Moonlighted skin and bright hazel eyes, still too naive and too young. Grasping to his mother’s beliefs, he balanced his distrust of humans — the ones responsible for her death — with the desire for fairness for every living thing. There was always a fierceness and strength to Paul, or Aerlas, as the elves would call him — holy-leaf.
    Could they be, in a world so full of resentment and hatred?

    Summary

    This is an immediate continuation of "Carry that Weight", and pics up on New Years Eve/Day 1966. It begins with someone being accidentally dosed with LSD, and with Paul gleaning an insight that helps him feel stronger and more able to recover some of his sexual energy, which is pretty explicitly covered in the first three chapters. After that, THE ANGST COMES HARD AND HEAVY as one or Paul's attackers begins to reach out to him, taunting and threatening. Events force the investigation of Paul's rape into a new area.

    MEANWHILE: John's bad judgement continues as his own PTSD goes unaddressed and he spirals downward and downward into places we never thought he would go. 1966 begins most dreadfully for Paul and for John.

    Summary

    John hates Halloween, but he loves making his ex jealous. And if he uses a total stranger to do it, well…what’s the harm in that?

    -

    And there it is. Even though a foreboding itch in the corner of his mind told John it was coming, the word still cuts through the music and the drunken chatter and plows into him with almost enough force to send him to the floor. Or into a fit of laughter. Maybe both.

    Not even ten minutes ago they were strangers in the bathtub. Now, apparently, they’re boyfriends.

    Because of course they are.
