Summary
In a blink, the hard edges of Dorian are molten, melting into syrupy sweetness. He’s smiling now with the true innocence of an angel, voice gentled to a silken drawl when it next sounds. Any last traces of rage have wiped to nothing. “But if I didn’t, how could you come to my rescue?” A little bit of a grin arrives on his lips, and he rolls onto his knees as though in prayer, teeth shining up at Val, suddenly adoring as he all but coos, “My white knight on a horse.” The words come drenched in that Dorian special, an impossible blend of sarcasm and sincerity that mix together so thoroughly it’s impossible to discern one from the other.
Val hates him a little bit.
He hates him a lot.

Summary
Art. Dorian sometimes insists if he’s in one of his moods, gesturing and huffing, impatient. Poetry. The succulent seduction of spectacle. Those are the matters of substance.
Well, Val doesn’t know very much about art or poetry. And spectacle, that he wants least of all. But it’s hard to resist Dorian’s whims when they whirl to life, hard to untangle himself from the way the other so easily draws him in with little more than a raise of the brow.
With the barest brush of a finger.

Or, fluff, ValeRian style. Or, on a good day, Dorian is as sweet as he can be. Or, DUMP HIM!

Summary
There’s a pregnant pause between them. A silence that stretches long wherein Basil’s finger is still on Val’s chest, and his eyes, tilting in almost slow mo, shift up and up and up until they meet the curious blue-grey ones that peer unreadably back at him. There’s a touch of almost amusement playing along Val’s mouth, though, as they exchange stares, and Basil feels his own lips smiling back, a little sheepish.
---
Or, Basil is dying to make Val something other than black coffee. Or, PaintPony is so cute. Or, the Discord said COFFEE SHOP AU!!!

Zavia and Naima leave New York behind and live what time Naima has left together.
An inevitably sad ending, but still a fix-it fic that makes things bittersweet and at least gives our girls a soft ending, like they deserve.

Summary
It’s nice, Val considers idly, the smile, crinkles the other’s cheeks, and lights up his face. Sunshine in the dust. In the sunshine, even dust looks magical. And that smirking cruelty, which his eyes keep scanning for, which he’s learned is always somewhere waiting to emerge, seems farther than ever. There’s something whole about the other, something that hasn’t been shattered into a million component parts and then poorly glued back together, held together by bruised skin, pulled too tightly. He’s not free of sadness, exactly, it drifts through him, but with more poetry and composure than Val could ever manage.

Or, after the boxing match, Basil tries to make things right. Or, a meet-cute that should exist. Or, Val needs a good boyfriend, okay?

Summary
And somehow, even in the low light, Valentin gleams. It’s not Dorian’s fault he’s impossibly fascinated when this exquisite misery burns so brightly before him. Begs for fingers to be drawn through it, to be broken down into its component parts and thoroughly examined. Dorian has always been a keen admirer of beauty. And he’s long promised not to deny himself any sort of pleasure. And the slope of Valentin’s broad shoulders, easily many times his size, but slumped and furious. Oh, there’s pleasure in that.
---
Or, Dorian does so love to be wanted. Or, Val should just say no, but he doesn't. Or, a Dorian character study is a dangerous thing.

Summary
Around him, there are only sharp edges that cut. And Dorian’s no less made up of blades than anything else that fills the spaces of his existence. But his searching touch is cloaked in the kind of pleasure not even Syrup can manufacture, and the sting of it is layers beneath that. The pain will emerge eventually, but the violence, at least, sinks deep enough to ignore for a breath.
For the tremble of his lips against another’s.
---
Or, Valentin craves Syrup, that much we know, but he equally craves one soft touch. Or, a Valentin character study because this show ate my brain.

Summary
Zavia had suggested it, once: that they run away.
The duvet poured off the mattress like water, leaving their bare legs exposed. Moonlight coming through the gauzy curtains cast a soft, silver glow over everything in the room. She combed her fingers through the hair at the nape of Naima’s neck, still damp with satisfied exhaustion.
“We should just leave one day,” she murmured. “Go to the seaside and live there together. Away from all this.”
