    Summary

    "You barely ever eat any human food."

    "A shame, really."

    "You must be starving."

    "Not particularly."

    "Then, if I offered you my heart, you would say no?"

    Illuga finds an old book that tells the tales of man-eating fae, and decides to test the reality of it.

    Summary

    Anaxa always found himself drawn to the sea.

    The way its waves crash so rhythmically along the shore, unrelenting—but still gentle, and pure, like the soft breezes and brisk mornings that make the air taste of salt. It allows him to forget about the mundanities of the world, things both decided for and expected of him, and in its place there's nothing but a cool, rocking cradle that stretches on to infinity.

    One night, unbeknownst to him, he calls out to the sea; an unexpected, newfound warmth bubbling from his chest. And before he can make sense of it, bury down this troublesome, foreign heat—

    Something calls back, a honeyed whisper dragging him down into the depths.

    Summary

    “No college sweethearts, or flings, or one-night stands, anything. What about you?”

    “Nothing,” Flins says, and then mumbles under his breath. “Only the thought of you.”

    “Me, huh?” Illuga pauses as if to process, lets out a hum, and then exhales. “You're getting better at this. I almost believed it this time.”

    Summary

    Flins watches him with rapt attention, not finding anything amiss when the first three buttons of his coat come undone, but when Illuga gets to the fourth one he notices that the human's purple sash and his vision are nowhere to be seen, and by the time Illuga reaches for the fifth button—

    Oh.
    This is certainly unexpected...

    Illuga visits Flins with a particular intention other than just bringing supplies.

    Summary

    He wanted you to do that to him.

    Check him for signs. He'd fail them, of course. Rough him around, show off your gun, threaten him. You were the only person he'd been left defenseless against. That one, end-all weapon he bore for as long as he's known himself, reduced to something sensitive for you to play with, to warm him up and make him shiver all over again. 

    He wanted you to make him feel helpless.
