Summary
As the Trojan War keeps drudging on with no end in sight, Agamemnon sends out missives to the remaining Kings of Greece, calling on them as reinforcements to break the stalemate. King Menoitius of Opus has no choice but to comply. He presents himself at the Greek camp with his army, unaware that this path would put him on a collision course with the son he'd banished more than a decade ago.
What is to ensue when the estranged father and son reunite on the blood-soaked land?

Summary
When a man with a badly put on accent darkens your doorstep near sundown, what do you do really? He ain’t normal. That much is apparent. Hurt. Big red welts splitting his skin. Mannnn….he’s kinda pretty though. 😏

Summary
“Fez?” she asks.
“Yeah?”
"There's something I need to tell you.”
“What’s up?”
The sound of a sharp gulp slices through the silence. “Last night, um…I got up to use the bathroom.”
He does not like where this is going.
“And as I was leaving to go back to the living room, I heard you say my name.”

Summary
He coughs, “What I was saying was, Lexi Howard, that’s a fucking shame.”
Lexi sighs, “Guess it’s just me, myself, and I for the foreseeable future.”
Fezco can’t help himself, don’t expect him to. Imagines of Lexi going at it solo fill his brain and make his pulse start thrumming underneath his skin.
He liked her, this Lexi Howard, even if they had just met only minutes before.
Fezco doesn’t even try to think better than to say his next sentence. “Well, I don’t want to talk my shit up too much, but you want to come without having to manifest that shit, I gotchu.”
