    Summary

    “He had a sharp nose and head with full, healthy hair, and was dressed in a white button-up shirt that looked crisp and too tight on his body, with slacks hanging low on narrow hips. There was stubble along his jaw and exhaustion beneath his eyes despite the well-kept mustache and soft blue tint of his irises, but somehow neither of those things took away from him. If anything, they added something unfairly charming. He smelled faintly of cheap cologne and cigarette smoke, and something sweeter underneath that reminded Healy vaguely of oranges.

    Healy frowned when he noticed that the man’s blond hair was exactly the same shade of June’s usual beehive hairdo.”

    Or

    Four times Jackson Healy thought about kissing Holland March, and one time Holland March kissed him. (Plus one bonus chapter at the end)

    Summary

    For a moment he just studies the motorcycle. It's an ancient machine, a relic from the time before spinners, a time when the air was fresh and clean and clear; the fact that it ran at all is a minor miracle. Like him, it probably should have been retired long ago.

    What does a replicant exist for, if it no longer has a purpose?

    Summary

    Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.

    “C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.

    The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.

    They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.

    Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.

    The elevator door closes.

    or

    Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.

    Summary

    Caleb should go back inside.

    Caleb should stand up, go back inside, and forget that he saw anything curled up in the filthy alleyway behind his building. Stay out of trouble. Things die all the time.

    When he lays two fingers at the vampire’s neck, its skin is chill as the wet cobblestones. He can just feel the tiny rise and fall of its ribcage.

    Damnit.

    (It's a Shadowgast modern-with-magic vampire!AU)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Finished 16:
    Wistful apple cider Caleb and bundle-y Essek 🥰 The calm before the fuckery.

     

    Essek admits that (maybe) Caleb could (possibly) be considered a friend. Caleb recalls breaking and being “fixed” twice, where IkyThot pretends that vamps killed his family

    Essek is excited to talk to Caleb, and even when it only shows a little, Caleb notices the change and is like “what u buttering me up for? Not complaining or anything but…” and slips into a little flirtation.

    Essek is delighted by Caleb’s annotations in a wizard publication and wants to snag more of his copies… Also it mentioned a publication he wrote a while ago so excited for THAT to be revealed eventually. Caleb’s memory is sure to retain that little mention…

    Essek is NOT panicking in a bathtub because he has a very nice night, dammit. He’s also so so curious and cannot Suggest C tells him his backstory.

    spell taught, Caleb like “ooooooh Essek magic shiny. Essek shiny.” and shows his keen mind

    everyone is floaty and good! Riding the highs of a good feeding/envenoming and there are no dark histories of being on venom and tortured so one doesn’t learn to enjoy it not at all

    first feeding, explicit consent Essek let’s go, Caleb is more relaxed than he’s ever allowed to be and is now sleepy boi

    E and C set to meet up on Thursday (IITY?😉) for blood, Essek dropped of contract in the mail and will go over Caleb’s revisions when they meet, both are hanging on by a thread my guy. Essek like I’m so in control of my life and fine and Caleb’s pretending like his life isn’t a series of panicked Frumpkin snuggles.

    Essek has left after being saved by Caleb, and both of them are struggling against panic attacks in the following days.
