    Summary

    The staff at the coffeeshop have dozens of rumors about the masked man and the handsome actor who come by once a week to discuss literature. Most of these rumors involve the two of them in some kind of passionate romantic entanglement.

    Briar (part-time barista, full-time college student) is pretty sure they're not entangled, because when the depth of somebody's longing is recognizable on a mask with fairly limited facial expressiveness, it's clear he hasn't said a word about his feelings.

    Summary

    Hal lingers for a moment too long, fingers flexing, pulse still racing from the work of holding everything together. He scrubs a hand over his face and sighs.

    “Azune,” he says, turning. “Are you…”

    He stops.

    Azune is standing exactly where Hal left him, the faint impression of Bolaire still haunting his face in rosy, fading lines. He’s safe, yes, but—

    “…alright?” Hal finishes, suddenly feeling like an enormous fool for not checking in sooner.

    Summary

    “I have ways of remembering who I am,” Azune says. “Of keeping both of us safe. Of keeping the body safe. I can bear you without losing myself, if you trust me.”

    Bolaire shakes his head vehemently. “You don’t know what I am—not truly.”

    “I know exactly what you are,” Azune says, soft but unyielding. “You are my friend, and Hal’s friend—but you don’t want to hear that right now, so let’s speak on your terms:

    “You are a weapon. But more than that: you are a weapon that wields itself. A weapon doesn’t need to understand its cause, but the wielder does, or the force behind it ends up warped and wasted. You want to fight for what you feel for Halandil Fang? Good. Let me help you name it.”
