Summary
New year, new experiences, and a whole pack of ghouls to satisfy during their heats and ruts again; what more could Swiss ask for! He looks forward to 2022 with unbridled enthusiasm, eager to assist his mates with their cycles and indulge in all the pleasure and sin earth has to offer with the ones he loves. But this year is to be the one where Swiss’ sin of pride is ruthlessly tested and the special, cherished, unique multi ghoul does not fare well. His mates may try to do the right thing for their own sake, for each other’s sakes, for Swiss’ sake even but in the end, everyone fails. One by one, Swiss’ relationships suffer from his bruised ego. When the negative self talk gets too heavy to bear, he copes the only way he knows how: with isolation, resentment and anger. Miscommunications, rejections, mistakes; nobody realizes how hard their actions harm Swiss, while he slowly spirals to the ground until it’s too late.
‘Cause you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.

Summary
“Alright, Anakin,” Obi-Wan finally said, adopting his familiar Soresu stance, so familiar to Anakin it almost ached. His shoulders ached, as well, and his legs, and he was certain that Obi-Wan’s must too. But Obi-Wan just watched him with those calm eyes. “One more. And then, perhaps, you’d care to tell me what this is about.”
Or, Anakin can't sleep. Obi-Wan makes a suggestion.

Summary
Cumulus is inexplicably afraid of thunder. Rain has a solution.
“This is the last one,” she says, promises. “Then I’ll leave you alone.”
His grip tightens. “No,”
The word is slurred, quiet, she’s not even sure she’s heard him correctly. She lifts her head higher, braces herself on the bed to look down at him.
“What?”“You don’t have to go,” he says, clear now, eyes open a little wider as he really looks at her.
“I’m keeping you awake.”
“I like when you keep me awake,” he admits.

Summary
Completely unintentionally, Hob found he had opened a small outpost of his Temple to Dream of the Endless; students on their knees on the prickly blue carpet squares, while Dream reclined in front of them, being petted ceaselessly, receiving stories as offerings.
Hob's students absolutely love the cat that haunts his office.

Summary
Instead of eyes of fine blue ice or night-dark tarns, his lord had mouths, and the Corinthian knew better than most how sharp those teeth would be. One bone-white hand, the nail-beds limned in blood, drifted up to finger the place where his own left eye should have been, and his lord smiled.
“Tell me how I look to you, Corinthian.”
“You are beautiful, my lord.”
“Corinthian, are you lying to me?”

“Boys,” the Corinthian said, spitting blood, “you’re going to have to come up with something else or you’re going to have to buy me dinner, because, frankly, this is starting to do it for me.”

Summary
He smiles, genuinely. “My Lord,” he says, because the title feels right in his mind, “what am I to be?”
“You are a warning, a nightmare. You are my masterpiece. You are the Corinthian.”
“Corinthian,” he says languidly, slowly, feeling each syllable slide off his tongue, “I am… the Corinthian.” And in that moment, he is filled with a joy unlike any other. He is named. He has meaning. He is a masterpiece.
This must be his apotheosis, the Corinthian thinks, to know and love one’s existence, to be alive.
———
An examination of the Corinthian: his creation, life, and unmaking.

Summary
“What do you like?"
“You. The taste of your blood. Your fingers. Your skin. Apples. Kisses. Cutting. Knives.”
The Corinthian laid them down reverently in the grass, coming to kneel by their side. They had fallen into a routine, and now he waited for what they wanted to teach him. He could have added that he liked being taught as well.
Desire stretched out, long and luxurious as if they had been made for nothing else. Maybe they hadn’t been.

Desire leaves their fingerprints all over Dream's work.

Summary
As slight as they were, Desire kept the Corinthian still with just a touch, just a smile. One bare foot came up to slide along his leg, leaving a tingling warmth in its wake. It sent a tumult of emotions through him, strange and confused and hot, and Dream still wasn’t looking.
