    Summary

    Just as Merrick leant more heavily against the door, thinking that he ought, really, to go, it was pulled sharply open, sending him stumbling. He caught himself on the doorframe, just.
    When he looked up, his greeting died on his lips; because before him stood not Keita, but an unfamiliar young man.
    An unfamiliar young man who looked decidedly dishevelled, with an inside-out jumper shoved on over his nightclothes. He held a small candleholder. The wind howled in through the doorway, and the flame guttered in the wax. The man squinted a little as if its insubstantial light hurt his eyes. He had obviously, very obviously, just been woken-up. Well, fuck, thought Merrick, drunkenly and pointlessly.
    ‘Can I help you?’ said the man, sounding both sceptical and unwilling.

     

    (a year or so after the events of Pepperharrow, Merrick comes to Filigree Street to visit Keita, and finds something he hadn't expected)

    Summary

    The oven beats out warmth. Mori undoes the top few buttons of his shirt, but still manages to look put together, with his cuffs neatly buttoned at the wrists, and the sharp lines of his waistcoat. Thaniel, on the other hand, has nothing over his rumpled cotton shirt but a large quantity of flour. He’s pretty sure there’s some on his face too.

    But he keeps catching Mori looking at him when he’s supposed to be making his next move, so it doesn’t matter really.

    Mori advances his knight recklessly. Then he sits back in his chair and stretches; Thaniel looks at the graceful lines of his collarbones and neck, and suddenly he would much rather be doing something else.

    ‘I don’t want to play chess anymore,’ he says.

     

    (post-Pepperharrow; just Thaniel being incredibly love-struck)

    Summary

    How sweet, Thaniel thinks, to have this; Mori solid and sure beneath his hands; the slick heat of his mouth.
    Mori is tracing his fingers carefully along Thaniel’s jawline, and Thaniel thinks he might be melting, when he feels a sharp tug on the hem of his waistcoat.
    He jerks back to find Six standing by his chair.
