    Summary

    “A plague mask. It’s meant to ward off disease. The English wear extravagant ones that look like birds of death, but I thought something more modest would work just as well.”
    Maciej blinks at her, sleepy. “That‘s a handy idea.” Solemnly, he adds on, “and you look so beautiful in it.”
    Aniela pokes at his ribs, and he coughs out a giggle.
    (That was one of the things that drew her to him as soon as they met; his hunger for laughter, how easily he gives himself over to joy.)
    “You would say I looked beautiful if I was wearing one of the horrible bird masks, too.”
    His tired hand squeezes her waist. “I would, my lady. And it would be true.”

    Or: Maciej is sick, and Aniela is there. Featuring coughing, laughter, healing, and a lot of love.

    “It’s just— there are 200,000 other people on this ship. Why me?”

    “I trust you,” Kurapika says with a shrug. “We already know each other, which saves time. I’m assuming you’ve done this before, so you’ll know what to do. You aren’t bad looking. I believe those are the main criteria.”

    “Wow,” Leorio says. “You’re making this sound really appealing.”

    Summary

    She was no stranger to that silence but it stung her all the same. The moment she knew would come, the moment Caitlyn always loathed. When they could take one look at her eyes beyond the frame and know what she was. What everyone called her. 

    Violet switched between them both, as if caught on which to comment on.

    The blue one they whispered of, that men feared and called onyrō— or the other one, deeply slashed and milky white, lost of all sight and color.

    Summary

    Then, yesterday morning, Caitlyn had walked yawning into the bathroom and found Jinx sitting on her vanity, swinging her heels and eating the cucumber slices right out of her waiting face mask.

    She put her hands up immediately and bared teeth. "I surrender! Cuff me, sheriff, I'm at your mercy."

    Summary

    “I won't bury my people’s gods in an unmarked grave,” the words wintered Kurapika’s mouth, “or dub their tongue your language. So hear me when I say this, Lucifer: I will never forgive what you’ve done.”

    Kuroro’s lungs seared, white-hot and celestial.

    "Heard and heeded."

    (or: kuroro's got a flower in his chest, a blooming tattoo on his skin, and an ache for a lover more tragic than he is.)
