    Summary

    Jon's been going about his life and his schooling the same way he always has — overworking himself to exhaustion and attempting to ignore the phantom pains he experiences (though there's one ache that always takes him out for the day, a blinding pain in his chest just above his heart that doctors have assured him is no cause for alarm).

    One late night, while doing work for his literature course, something strange happens. He brushes it off, but when the same thing keeps happening, maybe Jon has to admit there's something going on.

    or

    Jon and Martin will find each other, no matter where they go.

    Summary

    Many years ago, the young Lord Blackwood was struck by a terrible curse. Doomed to live as a hideous beast, he wanders his abandoned castle waiting for the day when someone will come and fall in love with his true self under the ferocious exterior, breaking his curse. Until then, he drifts through a life of solitude and isolation, resigned to being alone forever… and he would be, if only he could find a way to stop all these goddamn monsterfuckers trying to break down his front door.

    Summary

    “What?” the other man asks, wiping the smear of flour of his cheek. He examines his hand, frowns, looks back up. “Did I miss a patch?”

     

    “No,” Jon says, despite there being flour all over Martin’s apron, a bit on the tip of his nose, and a healthy smattering in his hair. Something about Martin in the kitchen covered in flour makes his heart squeeze. Just like this, he thinks, the same way a desperate, brokenly in love man would. Let us stay just like this. His eyes catch back on his hair, looking at the flecks in the roots, the spark of orange that has started to nestle among the black and shock of white (a blessing from the Lonely, because unfortunately, most things that love Martin are not the most kind to him). He wants to run his hands through his hair. He wants to ask about the color. Is it natural? Is it new? Is it Martin’s original color? He wants to know, wants the knowledge inside his head and next to his heart, filling up his chest, and for that reason he cannot ask in good conscience. He cannot ask and still know for certain that the answers are given voluntarily.

    -

    or: Jon learns a softer kind of knowing, finds his heart, goes grocery shopping, and ends the world.
