    Summary

    He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.

    He catches himself whispering Guest’s name in the quiet, like a rosary. Like prayer. He doesn’t even mean to. It just comes. Over and over.

    Guest.

    Guest.

    Guest.

    He doesn’t want to be held. He wants to be bled. He wants Guest’s hands on him like scripture. He wants his mouth sewn shut with penance. Wants to be used until he’s nothing but a vessel. An altar boy reborn in sweat and need, kissed by the sharp edge of redemption.

    Is this love?

    Summary

    "Look," Telamon whispered shakily. "Look at me."

    Their bloodied hand reached up to Builderman's face— gently cupping his cheek and turning his head to face them. "I want you to witness this, angel." They murmured, grinning ear to ear as they bled.
