    Summary

    The room is too bright.

    It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.

    It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.

    With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.

    Summary

    “So, I wanted to ask—“ Firefly stopped abruptly and looked up at him. Her sunrise eyes burned with that flame that shone so brightly from her candlewick life. “No, first I need to apologize if my questions get too personal. If they do, you can tell me to drop it and I will. I don’t want to bring up bad memories.”

    It seemed rather pointless for her to care about something like that. What did Blade have left of himself at this point other than the memories that cut into him? The pain was all that remained in this shell.

    “Go on,” he told her.

    “Does it ever get easier? Having someone you love look at you like a stranger?”

    I have a crush on my husband.

     

    This is the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever said in my life, but I need to say it because I’m going fucking insane.

    Everyone told me about the honeymoon phase. I’ve known him for fifteen years, been with him for eight, and married for three. I should be past the fucking honeymoon phase by now.

    I am not.

    Summary

    “My trial will be held soon,” Aventurine says, ignoring the rapid thrumming in his chest. “To determine my punishment for breaking the cornerstone during my mission. It is decided that all the Stonehearts will take a vote to decide whether or not my own position as a Stoneheart will be taken away.”

    Veritas’ expression doesn’t change as he takes in Aventurine’s words.

    “They will take a vote on your… resignation?”

    Aventurine averts his gaze to look at the floor. He doesn’t dare to stare into his partner’s concerned eyes when he utters the next words.

    “No, Veritas. My execution.”

    Summary

    Yet when an attempt on Kai's life is made, Damon wishes he never started to believe in trust again at all.
