    Summary

    Of all the things they'd encountered on their journeys, a charm spell was a first.

    Especially when Will- always first in line to take a protective blow- takes the full brunt of one, unaware of what it is, and ends up turning his sword on the most precious of his entourage: Strohl.

    ⊹₊ ♛ ₊⊹

    Or:

    Hurt/comfort, wherein Will tends to Strohl's wounds that he caused, while Strohl reminds him to forgive himself.

    Summary

    The problem wasn't that Will was Strohl's soulmate, no. Strohl was over the moon to know that his dearest friend was his destiny– though he'd known that from the moment that they'd shook hands.

    The problem was that Will didn't seem to know that Strohl was his soulmate at all. The misfortune never seemed to end, in his case– was he truly part of a one-sided bond? Or did Will simply not want him…?

    No matter. Strohl would do his best to try and seduce him regardless.

    the first chapter is relatively spoiler free, but the final one will have major spoilers

    Summary

    “You look nice,” Boothill blurts.

    Fuck no. A notification pops in the corner of his vision that reads in loud letters: Shut your fucking trap.

    Surprise flits about Argenti’s features, seeming to bounce between a few different emotions before finally setting on bashful.

    “Such a compliment is unusual,” he says, after a moment, “especially from an honest soul such as yourself. I am honored to be held in such regard from someone I treasure dearly, and someone with as much passion for life as you.”

    “I jus’ said you looked nice,” Boothill says lowly, picking at the threads of his pants.

    “Did you mean it?”

    “Why, ‘course.”

    “Precisely,” Argenti says, as if that explains it all.

    After the cults have been disbanded and the leads have been followed, Boothill finds himself stuck in Penacony against his will due to a blunder in the system. To make it worse, he has to survive the week in the company of Argenti—a Knight of Beauty who seems a bit too keen on making his acquaintance.

    or: Two lonely men are shoved into a hotel for a week, and they both learn some new things.

    Summary

    “Crick,” Temenos says the knight’s name, hands dropped from Crick’s now healed wound as if he is burned. And perhaps, he is – scorched to ashes in the face of light most radiant. Temenos sighs, then looks up at those bright blue eyes. Round and wide and shining with light, like the stars in the middle of the night sky. “You must promise me one thing.”

    Crick blinks, surprised. Tilts his head. “…Yes, of course. What is it?”

    “Do not—” Temenos swallows. Needles prick at the back of his throat. If he lets go, he fears he may never see Crick again, and that simple thought terrifies him more than facing a thousand beasts ever could. After another pause – as he tries to gather himself together – Temenos closes his eyes and turns his face away. “…Wait for me tomorrow. Do not investigate on your own, no matter what.”

    In which a simple decision challenges fate.

    (Au where Stormhail plays out differently. Two souls, their roles mirrored, their fates intertwined.)
