    Summary

    The day Frank Columbo met Eugenio Franchitti was a day blessed by God: God and all the real angels and saints, specifically Adjutor, Philip Neri, and Barbara. The war was going full swing; on the beach there were the leftovers, the women and boys and girls, and the oldest Franchitti kids who hadn’t shipped overseas, Geno and Cecilia, first cousins. Frank hadn’t noticed ’em at first, either of ’em, the tall and lanky boy and girl with skin like gold and eyelashes like fringed velvet burlesque fans, physical traits the magazines said you could shell out for but the Franchitti kids had ’em in spades all natural; but once he had he couldn’t stop noticin'.

    Summary

    Kremy Lecroux doesn’t believe in fate. He believes in odds, in chances, in debts that always come due. He made a deal years ago: love for power. It seems like an easy trade until he meets someone who makes him want to risk it all.

    Gideon Coal is a man outrunning his past, and falling for his boss and best friend was never part of the plan, but something about Kremy keeps pulling him closer than he’s ever let anyone get.

    Stuck between contract and confession, Kremy learns too late that power always demands its price.

    PART ONE of a 3-part series covering the events of and leading up to Once Upon a Witchlight focused on deepening the characterization while exploring the relationship between Kremy and Gideon.

    Summary

    Kremy Lecroux was always hungry.

    When he was around Gideon, he always felt starved. With grace and dignity, he could lie and dance around the flame of his best friend, soaking in each and every moment without actually touching the fire. Gideon didn't want to waste the time he had left, and Kremy certainly wouldn't, either.

    The only thing grounding him was the dice between his fingers, their clattering against the wood like a melody robbed of its rhythm. It distracted him from his craving for ash and cigarettes. Just fire and numbers held in his grasp, delicately tilted here and there so he could fully know them, the potential and possibilities. As long as he had his flame and his tactics, the world would lay open within his palms, for all he knew. He would remain in control of everything, himself included.

    Back when Kremy attempts to stay up late at The Inn at The End of The Road, he struggles to quiet his mind and distract himself from certain feelings. He and Gideon smoke together briefly, but it doesn't calm Kremy's mind in the slightest. He doesn't want to acknowledge it. He doesn't want to lose control.
