    Summary

    A near death experience forces two Ratniki to be honest with one another.

    Has he done this before, the man of his dreams asks. As if the answer is casual. As if the answer is easy. As flippantly discussed as the weather or a work report. I’ve been in love with you ever since I was nineteen years old, Illuga thinks. I can’t stop thinking about you. I want to be with you and around you all the time. I talk about you to everyone I meet. I filter every life experience I have through the scryglass of you. You fascinate me. You torment me. You entice me. Of course I haven’t done this before. I think I’ve always been waiting and hoping for you to ask.

    Summary

    “Young Master, please don’t try to distract me.”

    “It’s really not that complicated.”

    “You’re asking me to hit you.”

    “Just a little.”

    “Okay. You’re asking me to hit you just a little,” Flins amended.

    “Yes.” A beat, followed by a breathy and whiny, “Please.”

    Summary

    "'Flins'?" Flins asked, his tone mildly surprised but courteous. "I am seldom called as such. Why, my good sir, do I perhaps know you? If I do, please forgive me for I cannot remember."

    "Hang on a second." Illuga grabbed the edge of Flins' coat. "If Flins is not the name you're used to, what do they call you?"

    "Ah. My apologies." Flins took his hat and bowed, his grace and elegance untouched by the howling snow. He took Illuga's fingers and pressed them to his lips—much like the first time they met. "Allow me to introduce myself, my good sir. Around these parts, I am called Kyryll, the Azure Flame."

    Summary

    "Young master."

    "Sir Flins," said Illuga, readily, "It's rare to see you here. It's cold out. Would you like to come in?"

    "Young master." Hushed. The words land the way a pebble ripples still water. His smile withdraws, "I believe you have left something in the cemetery by mistake."

    A heavy silence befalls their figures. The lock of the metal door grinding against itself as it was pushed shut. Illuga had no intention of admitting the impertinence of his actions to the man before him. Saying it, making it known would certainly kill him, more than everything already was; that he could not stand seeing others lain in earth the longer he lives; that he was faking the whelm of his position—a captain, one who overcompensates. He refuses to turn to the other man and meet that gaze of his; and more than ever, he feels himself shake.

    "I don't know what you mean, Sir Flins."

    "A headstone," the fae answers, each words gentle in utterance. "Inadvertently carved with your name."

    Summary

    Dear Mr. Flins,

    Everything alright at the cemetery? I've finally cleared my schedule for a visit later this month.

    I tried to time it so we would be able to celebrate the tail end of the holidays together; I think you mentioned you never have. I'll bring some small fireworks to set off on the beach.

    Remember when I told you about the lighthouse at Cliffwatch? When I look at it, I can't help but think of you. When you look up at your lighthouse, think of me every now and again, won't you?

    Wishing you health, always,

    Illuga
