Summary
Some day, you too will lie beneath the earth,
In a pinewood box, cold to the touch,
A stone carved name, a silent birth,
And tonight, my tears fall for him in such a hush.I long to sit with him, six feet under,
But I cannot. I cannot. It’s far too late.
The dew’s on the trees, and dawn grows fonder—
The clock ticks on, too late to change my fate.I can’t. I won’t. It’s far too late.
I yearn to breathe the air outside,
But winter still clings to this heart of stone.
The atmosphere too cold to abide,
A frozen shell I’ve carved on my own.I can’t. I won’t. It’s far too late.
Dig.
Dig. Dig.
Shovels scrape the frozen ground.Dig.
Dig. Dig.
I cannot bear the weight now.Dig.
Dig. Dig.
I see the earth agape for me.Dig.
Dig. Dig.
My box is ready.But I will not go. I have turned around.
I shall not join him, not tonight,
A jest, I think, that love’s chest shall not be found,
But no, I will not go—my lips shall find another's.Series

Jeremy looks at his mother, and the feelings swirling inside him spill over.

Summary
"I'll call you," Kyle says as he extracts himself fully from the hug. "I'll Snapchat you!"
"Okay." Stan nods, trying to look hopeful about it. "Just don't, like, fall for some hot Jewish guy and leave me for him, or anything," he jokes, but it falls flat. Kyle is distracted by closest flight table, frowning deeply, and Stan's heart wasn't in it anyway.

Summary
It was Ruth who was his fixation.
Elliot was not terribly sure when he had become so enamoured by the mage. He had acknowledged his existence for years, and had thought him a lazy and unkempt presence at Sir Riftan's side for much of that time. However, three years spent in the Lexos Mountains had greatly swayed his opinion of Ruth. He had seen how dedicated, hardworking and extremely capable the mage actually was. He had saved countless lives and played a pivotal role in their ultimate success. Not to mention that during their journey combing the mountains for the dragon, Elliot had also begun to believe he was the most beautiful sight in that perilous, barren place. With hair like starlight it was hard not to fantasize about the other man, just as he now did as he followed him through the castle courtyard.
