    Summary

    Blaze-born courtship rituals were a thing that Tango saw as if through a foggy window. He’d been rejected by the Tek Pyre when he was ten, basically the literal instant the pyre rules allowed them to throw him out. Even when he had been living there, he’d been belittled and abused. It was hard, because a lot of the things felt stilted to him, and yet also slotted perfectly into place. Like he should be doing them naturally, and yet had never been taught precisely the right steps, or the correct delivery. Blaze-borns were fire. They were possessive and consuming by nature. Things like courtship necklaces were meant to try and negate some of those feelings before they could turn violent, as far as Tango understood. It was selfish. It was greedy. Yet he couldn’t help himself.

    Zed was beautiful. He was brilliant and bright and sun-kissed. He didn’t belong to the dark place where Tango was raised, sputtering and sparking.

    Yet Tango couldn't help but want even just a tiny piece of that beauty all to himself.

    {in which Tango fails successfully 5 times straight, Zed needs some neosporin for multiple reasons, and there's a very, very conveniently timed power outage}

    Summary

    König, suddenly and urgently called home, is then tasked with not only the daunting duty of repairing the dilapidated church in his hometown but to also set aside his career and become a priest, per his mother's request. Yet when he arrives, superstition surrounds the building and everyone whispers about how the sacred building is somehow haunted.

    The soldier is quick to dismiss them all as nothing but rumors, superstitions, and other bedtime stories to make children behave. That is until he can’t explain the claw marks in the wood or the strange sounds filling the building's walls.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I've always wanted more Reno (and turks content in general) and this has absolutely satisfied that craving.
    7 to 31, it may take time but it can get better.
