    Summary

    She took him apart as simply as unpacking a trunk, as unfeelingly as she might one of her cadavers, arranging his organs to her liking as his flesh flapped to either side. He feared she might sew her initials into each of them—a crude little M.C. stitched to the anterior of his heart, nestled under his breastbone so that she might live in him forever.

    Patience, Joy, and a midnight engagement.

    Summary

    The Legion does not allow for sentiment. To want a woman; to ache for her touch, her attention, her approval... That is a profligate affliction Vulpes thought he’d been purged of in boyhood.

    Yet Vulpes followed her west regardless. Starving for the brief moments when her attention shifts away from the horizon and lands on him.

    A fulfilled request for anon.

    Summary

    Summary

    There was a mark on the shoulder of her robe where someone had bitten the epaulet clean off; it explained to distasteful precision the sequins he’d extracted from his teeth in the last hours.
