    Summary

    Paolo, leader of the Howlers and Overseer Byrne are exiled to work in the silver mines for five years. What comes next will probably not surprise anyone.

    “What does it mean?” He murmurs, breath warm on Paolo’s neck. Unhelpful, again.
    “It’s a constellation.” His constellation. He almost feels guilty for not explaining more, like he’s making Byrne complicit in more than just the tattooing, but if he told him he used to get a star for every man he killed he’d question why he wants another now, and Paolo does not like being too open. Old habits. Old selves, buried. “Marks the passing of time.”
    “Thought you did that on your thigh, hm?” There’s a particular tone to Byrne’s voice when he suspects something but doesn’t want to say it. The possibility that he understands more about Paolo than he is, or ever was, willing to hand over is a frightening one, and they’d rather just sink under the weight of the moment than discuss it.

    Cruel men, vicious men, growing soft under the rocks. Not knowing how to.

    Summary

    Loqi Tummelt is given vacations, and gets to spend a whole month home. He avoids his dysfunctional and strict family and finds comfort in the youngest siblings, who he's willing to protect at all costs. 

    A story where the phrase "A family among ruins" takes multiple meanings.

     

    --Description underneath contains spoilers past chapter 6--

     

    --

    -

    After losing his home and family, Loqi ends up saved by the last person he would ever accept help from, in the enemy kingdom's capital city, with nowhere to go. Under the care of Cor Leonis, Loqi has to deal with living with the man he hates, with the loss of his family and home, and with a heart broken beyond repair.

    Maybe Cor doesn't aim to fix said heart, or to get Loqi's acceptance, but he will try to help him through his recovery, be it physical or emotional.

    A story where Loqi learns that family doesn't need to be blood-related only, and that sometimes you find it in the last person you expect to learn to love.
