Summary
There was something different about the man. Despite his youthful look, there was a heaviness to his shoulders that said he had hardened through prolonged suffering. His smile, his laugh, the way his eyes crinkled in the corner, it was definitely a slipping mask. The way Orpheus held himself was too rigid, too perfected, and he noticed the rise and fall of the brunet's chest was too long between his conversations and rest.
The man was peculiar. Yet, no matter what, his eyes always found the other's, and he gazed at him like he was a meal to be devoured, yet there was an odd reverence that was mixed within the hunger.
Fredrick didn't want to admit it intrigued him, even less that he wanted to tread that danger willingly, even if it meant falling into the maw of the novelist.

Summary
Sleep has begun to allude him. Fatigue and exhaustion weigh on his mind, yet the minute his head hits the pillow he could not find adequate sleep. There was always a dull buzz in the back of his head, a warning sign that grew louder and louder each day. Some nights he swore he heard a harsh breath above his bed, other nights he heard a rustle of...something in the corner of the room.
Each night, when he reached that limbo place between unconsciousness and consciousness, it was if he was in a never ending dream.
Or a never ending nightmare.

Summary
The cake is small, barely risen with the lack of baking soda, and the frosting is messy and sticky warm from the melted sugar. A small, makeshift candle is put into it by Memory, who laughs and bounds up to her father's lap. Across the way, slowly coming towards them, is Frederick, holding a box of matches before he lights one to ignite the candle wick.
"Happy birthday!" they both say in unison to him.

Summary
For all his life, Frederick has lived with walls strongly guarded. Brick and laid with precision, unable to top or crumble at whatever batters at it. *Wilted Rose*, he was called, by some of the nurses at the clinic that told him his verdict. A life spent hiding as a Beta, unable to live as freely as he might've desired.
Until he meets Orpheus, and realizes he can change.

Summary
He should feel tolerance, not affection, not love, when he's around Orpheus. He should not lean into his space at proximity, should not tuck his bangs behind his ear when Orpheus whispers to him. He absolutely, knowingly should not keep his hold loose on the handle of his hidden gun within the cane. He should hate Orpheus, not be smiling at a poor joke the novelist makes.
And yet. And yet...
He gives his hand when Orpheus asks, lets himself be pulled into dark corners for bated breaths and fever kisses, allows those scarred hands to secure his waist. Opens his mouth without prompting when Orpheus makes a pleading noise, drowns within the kisses and clings to the novelist's hair and shoulders. The insecure, ugly part of himself that sought validation rears its head at his logical side, reminds him: This is temporary, he'll drop you once your use has ended.
The greedy, selfish part of him sneers back: Then we stay useful, so he can never leave.
(Frederick questions his connection to Orpheus. Orpheus wonders what Frederick's ring size is.)

Summary
It held all the hallmarks of a fairytale dream, but to Qifrey, a man who had abandoned all fantasies against the cruel waves that drowned the world, it was the make of ruin.
The Duke held his gaze in a way that made it impossible to deny the implausible: Olruggio of Ghodfrey intended for him.
"Lord Qifrey," the Duke said, and dropped to his knee with a confidence that spoke of no doubts. "Will you permit me the honour of your hand in marriage?"
When Qifrey receives an unexpected proposal from the most powerful stranger in the kingdom, he has no choice but to agree.
Or: a historical AU inspired by otome isekai manhwa, featuring Qifrey as wary bride and Olruggio as cold Duke of the North.

Summary
The dizziness comes next, causing him to sway to the side, the knife slipping and slicing into his palm. Pain blooms, blood splatters against the wood of the cutting board, and drips after him as he drops the knife and flees. Tearing through the atelier like a hurricane, his apprentice's worried calls of his name are distant and muted in his ears.

Summary

Summary
Frederick believes very little has changed - the landscape, the manor, the people within it.
"And yet," someone else might add for him, the cheer of this Winter's Eve has melted the once cruel, once absent, Frederick Kreiburg's heart.
Perhaps, someone above it all, someone with gentle warmth, has lead him down a pathway of change.
