    Summary

    “Jonathan,” says Evy, walking straight into his living room without so much as a hello and standing directly in front of him. Her voice is saccharine, so sugary that it puts Jonathan’s teeth on edge. “Did you happen to become a bestselling author while Rick and I were in Luxor over summer?”

    Jonathan clears his throat, sinks a little lower in his armchair, and lifts yesterday’s edition of The Egyptian Gazette higher, obscuring the blush he knows he can’t control.

    “I have no idea how I’m supposed to answer that, dear sister,” he replies, “seeing as I have absolutely no idea what the current bestselling novels are.”

    When Jonathan writes an adventure—definitely not a romance, thank you—novel based on the whole Imhotep debacle, he doesn't expect it to become the bestselling pulp sensation of the decade. With hindsight, perhaps he should have made some of the real life parallels less obvious, especially when it comes to the dashing romantic lead, Abir Rey.

    Thankfully, there are no bookshops in the desert, so the chances of Ardeth reading it are blessedly slim.

    Probably.

    Summary

    A rickety old building stood awkwardly and not quite in the middle of Kitguli. It was made of slowly rotting wood, cracked mud and clay, and a small amount of rusty metal. The straw roofing had nearly all flaked away. Nobody knew what it once was, or maybe they did and they didn’t want to disclose that information to the very curious duo of Arnold and Kevin.

    Summary

    Tonight was nowhere near the first time Connor had broken curfew.

     

    When he had woken up, shivering and covered in a thin layer of sweat, a detail that clung to him after every Hell Dream, a reminder that it wasn’t just a dream, he had expected to get a drink of water, maybe sit on the sofa and read for a while. If he was lucky, or unlucky, he hadn’t figured that out yet, then he wouldn’t be alone for long. Neither of them needed to address what brought them from their beds anymore, the answer was always the same.

    Connor hated that it meant that the elder hadn’t slept well. He hated that it meant the other boy had either had yet another nightmare or that he hadn’t even been able to fall asleep for fear of one. But a small, selfish part of him enjoyed the other’s company in the soft candlelight.

     

    Connor and Kevin end up spending most nights together, either comforting one another after a bad night or pretending that bad nights don't exist. But tonight, Kevin has a big question that he needs an answer for.

    Summary

    The Hell dreams have been getting worse. Ever since Kevin Price strode into Connor's life, they've been getting worse, so bad that he resolves that the only solution is to stop sleeping.

    It's a temporary solution. Connor knew it wouldn't last forever. He didn't think, however, that Kevin would be by Connor's side when he awoke from the Hell dream, didn't think Kevin would care so much when he woke up screaming, or wonder why he was still crying.

    He didn't think anyone would care at all. He's not sure he understands it.

    It wasn’t until the sea was put back into that dangerous creature that he had found his teeth. His song.

    Summary

    Want. Because that was what it was. That was what it needed to be in order for Ed to let it be, to let it grow steadily instead of taking it at the root and yanking it from his mind. Want. He wanted to take Stede apart, just as Stede had done to him. He wanted to take his entire world in his hands and rock it back and forth, upturning inkpots and vases, smashing all he held dear to pieces as he went, one priceless painting, one set of golden cutlery, one intricately made piece of furniture at a time. Ed had returned, and found it had been the wrong decision, because Stede turned him into a mess of a man, a husk of who he used to be, and Ed liked it, but he couldn’t let himself like it, because if men like Stede were all it took to bring men like Ed, like Blackbeard, to their knees, then there was so much more Ed did not know, so much he had missed out on, and he could not admit that to himself.

    /////

    Or: Ed is conflicted. Stede takes the choice from him.

    Summary

    There’s something more to Bokuto, Konoha thinks. When he’s suspended in the air mid-spike for an infinitesimal second—when he’s laughing with his head tipped back just so—when he’s walking and gesturing and flings out his arms like he’s inviting in the entire world, waiting for something great because there is no doubt that he will be great—

    Konoha sees it for the first time at summer training camp in their first year.

    Dreams are funny things. What Konoha's learning is that to realize them, you have to open your eyes wider; spread your mind further—

    and dream those dreams a little bigger.

    Summary

    It’s not hard to notice the difference. It dwells in his mind constantly, the fact that his bed has been colder, lonelier. Kenjirou can’t stop thinking about it; the lack of weight on his bed when there’s only him around to lay down on it and the lack of extra weight on his body, because there’s no arm wrapped around him. There’s no one tugging him close, no one pressing kisses to his forehead, no one engulfing him in the warmth of their body.

    And It’s bad. It’s so bad to have to rely on someone like this — to need someone with him just to feel happy and content, and be able to rest properly at night. He knows it’s not good for him. His sleep schedule is a mess. He’s not getting nearly enough hours of sleep as he should be and he’s having trouble focusing in his lectures throughout the day because of it. He hasn’t been at one hundred percent in ages, but with these new developments in his life (him relocating across the country for his schooling, of all things, because he just couldn't let himself miss the opportunity he was given), he thinks it just can't be helped. He needs time to adjust, sure, but it's hard.

    Kenjirou’s found that he just can’t sleep without Semi by his side.
