    Summary

    [Spoilers for C4E31.]

    “You embarrassed me,” Occtis hisses. “You embarrassed me today.”

    The boy is standing over the bed, gaze fixed on the mattress, seeing nothing as his clever mind fixates on some unknown fact of Julien’s prior conduct.

    Julien tries to play the day’s hectic events back through his mind, but their flight from Dol-Makjar was a fearful one plagued by paranoia, so much so that he finds his recall hampered. He’s sure he was an asshole to everyone all day, but he doesn’t remember aiming it at Occtis, at least not on purpose.

    Waiting for Occtis to volunteer information tends to involve more patience than Julien has handy, so he’d might as well ask. “When did I embarrass you?”

    Occtis still doesn’t look at him. “You picked me up like a sack of grain in front of all of our colleagues.”

    Of all the things to have a fight about right now, Julien feels like this isn’t the one he’d personally pick, and a stupid part of him wants to say so. An even stupider part of him wants to point out that that was last night, not today.

    He manages to hold his tongue on these two points, but he can’t keep his ire from his tone. “What did you expect me to do? Leave you behind?”

    Summary

    Heathcliff never liked the sea, especially one that he couldn't exactly decipher. Not after the way things ended. The wave painted his calf and the wind brushed past his cheeks.

    He was alone there.

    Until he wasn't.

    Until a certain stranger entered the same beach, and eventually, his life.

    Summary

    "Without another thought, Lucio finds his feet carrying him. He finds routine, another one of his, to loom over her as she has in her waking, and stare at the rise and fall of her chest, her hand still wrapped around a bottle on the floor, fallen off the couch..."

    Or: What if Lucio followed through with his plan? Eventually..

    Summary

    Occtis opened his eyes and looked down at the paper again. The pen hovering in the air had splotched ink onto the blank space, and he sighed, scrubbing his free hand through his tangled hair.

    There was absolutely no reason why he should be having this much trouble with this paper, other than the nagging headache and the strange chill that had been making him shiver for at least an hour, even though the dorms were enchanted to stay at a pleasant temperature. He knew the material, this wasn't one of his harder classes, and it should have been an easy enough assignment, except for how it wasn't.

    Or: Occtis spends finals week growing dangerously sick in his dorm room, with no one around to help him except his new familiar, and learns for the first time just how deeply a dead thing loves him.

    Summary

    Occtis Tachonis knows death, until his own is complicated by his resurrection. He cannot recall the circumstances of his own murder, but he knows there is something in him missing, something bound by unknown magic to another.

    Julien Davinos savors life, until everything he cares about is slaughtered by House Tachonis. He does not intend to live past his vengeance, but something in this world or the next has other plans.

    AKA

    The canon-divergent fic where the happenings at the Palazzo Davinos go down differently, and part of Occtis' soul ends up tethered to Julien's shadow.
