    Summary

    To think, Garlond had the absolute temerity to be angry that he’d taken that risk onto his own shoulders (shoulder?), literally, figuratively, or otherwise? He had the audacity to lash out at him? It’s as though nothing could make the man happy—or, more likely, there was not really anything Nero could do to please him, except that brief moment, where neither of them had been looking at each other, just ten heartbeats worth of a space—

    (“‘tis hardly fair to compare my youth to omega’s solitary existence...”)

    From here, it is unrealistic to believe that there is a world or a time or a future where Nero stays here, where he enjoys staying here, where Cid enjoys him staying here, where they work toward a common goal. The possibility that they lean close and share secrets, that they share coffee and humor, and whatever else, feels just as unviable. The potential for that future had slipped by long ago, too long ago to measure. Maybe that future had never been meant for this Nero and this Cid at all.

    Summary

    ‘Twas– a foolish intention. Tracking down the merchant and smith both, watching suspiciously as she condensed his old temple knight armor into such a small orb with her foreign witchery, glowing a bright, shimmering gold, brimming with aether. How warm the clasp had felt when he held its finished form at last, how even he with nary a magical bone in his body could feel its power, pulsing softly in his palm.

    A fine piece, one that would serve Aymeric well. And yet–

    The look of it. Why did he leave the smith to his own judgment? Gods damn him, why did he not think to at least ask him to make it blue?

    Summary

    Nightmares can lay the strongest of men low. Estinien knows that all too well, having suffered plenty of his own night terrors, so when he finds G'raha locked in the grip of one, he thinks no less of the other man's strength. He does want to offer any comfort he can - and is surprised when G'raha asks him to stay the night and keep him warm.

    Having company through the night proves good for both of their sleep. Having company in the morning, it turns out, will leave them relaxed in other ways entirely. This may be the start of something beautiful, but relationships aren't as simple as just being compatible in bed.

    Summary

    The last thing Estinien expected was to find himself playing caretaker to G'raha Tia, but the man seems bound and determined to push himself to the limits of his stamina and beyond. Once Estinien understands the reason behind G'raha's determination, he finds himself developing first reluctant respect for the man, then outright camaraderie... and mayhap the potential for something even more.
