    Summary

    she laughs quietly and kisses him again, this one landing more fully. his hands tighten slightly at her waist, thumbs pressing into her sides like he’s anchoring himself there. her knees draw in, heels brushing the backs of his legs.

    they pause, foreheads touching, breathing close enough that he can feel it shift when she smiles.

    “we were supposed to be doing something,” she says.

    “we tried,” he says.

    “did we?”

    he grins. “briefly.”

    she shakes her head, amused, and leans down to kiss him again. it’s still gentle, still unhurried, but there’s something more settled in it now. like they’ve decided this is where they’re staying for a while.

    his hand drifts up her side, thumb brushing just under her ribs. she inhales quietly at the touch, then relaxes again, fingers sliding into his hair. she doesn’t tug. just rests her hand there, like she likes knowing it’s his.

    they break apart only because they’re both smiling too much to keep kissing straight.

    or, a lazy domestic morning in percy’s empty apartment.

    Summary

    Percy was four years old the first time his dreams led him to his many-great-grandmother’s chambers- a woman long dead yet somehow still seated in front of him, fingers grasping at her hair tightly as she wails about a wooden horse on the beach while her servants look on in pity. He feels the weight of something ancient and heavy settle on his shoulders in that moment.

    He was in his 1st grade classroom when his teacher screamed at him for making up lies about gods and monsters and scaring the other children. He was eight when his mother's own visions become too much for her to bear.

    He's at Yancy when Grover Underwood finally finds him and says "I believe you" for the first time. And as Percy begins to feel lighter, that ancient weight that has followed him his whole life slowly dissipating, he realizes that being believed can be just as horrifying as being thought mad.

    Summary

    “Have you ever heard about the origami hearts tradition in the hospital?”

    Taking the heart, the child excitedly inspected it, nodding in glee. “Yes! My mama told me that when someone leaves the hospital to go to heaven, we all fold a paper heart for them! Like this, like this!”

    “That’s right,” chuckled Soobin. “But do you know how it started? It started here, in this room. From a boy who used to fold a paper heart every day for his lost love, hoping each one he makes will take him closer to the day those eyes would open again.”

    "Unfortunately for him, the day never came."

    In other words, a hopeless love story of two childhood best friends who didn't realise what it meant to have each other until it was too late; compiled of yearning, loss, forlorn hope, unrequited love, and every tragedy in between.

    Summary

    I don't imagine that this message survives to you who reads this, from whatever country you may be from. I have sent it into a small bottle and thrown it out to sea. I know it's a futile thing to do. But perhaps the gods will push the message along with the lapping waves of the harsh sea between us and bring me and my message to your weary fingers and listening ears. 

    I don't believe stating my name or my status will do anything for me but bring me shame for my actions. And so I will remain anonymous as a result. 

    This is just meant to be a recollection of my feelings.

    Summary

    “But I want you to fuck me, do you know why,” Patroclus said between heavy breaths.

    “No,” Achilles said while nipping at a particularly sensitive spot on his neck.

    “No one else fucks me like you.”

    If Achilles were younger he would have come from those words alone. “Say that again.”

    “No. One. Fucks. Me. Like. You. Fuck. Me,” Patroclus repeated back slowly. He raised his eyebrows. “No one could.”

    “Some days I think you might kill me, love."

    It's bronze age Greece and Achilles and Patroclus are not exactly exclusive, but sometimes you want to spend the full day with your boy. Too bad literally everyone else keeps getting in the way, and Patroclus has some plans of his own.
