“She spoke to you about me?” The words slip out before he can quite stop them.
Harry grins at him sleepily. “Of course. She loves you, Kim.”

Summary
Artemy hit the floor on his knees with a resounding wooden thunk, a sting of surprised tears in the corners of his eyes, and an instant lunge of arousal in the pit of his gut.
Daniil stood over him like a black cloud brooding on the horizon. He must not have had more than the half-glass of vodka he’d set aside – the flush in his cheeks was still faint and delicate, his eyes still clear and bright as lightning cracking through that brooding cloud. His hands still hovered in the air, as if he’d expected pushing Artemy to the floor to take more force than that.

Summary
“Sutures,” Daniil tells him sharply. His hand isn't moving, staying still between Artemy’s leg like the worst kind of tease. “If you move too much, they’re going to tear, and I’m telling you this: I will not lay with a bleeding man. Do you understand?”
The threat leaves him at a crossroads; he can choose to argue, which he knows would be stupid, because Daniil doesn't do empty threats. On the other hand, not arguing would feel like giving in, and Artemy doesn’t like giving in.
So he settles for a middle ground, which is sourly saying, “if I’m not allowed to move, how are you thinking this will happen?”
“I’ll show you,” Daniil tells him calmly, “but only if you do what I tell you.”
“That sounds an awful lot like blackmail,” Artemy points out. His bedpartner laughs, and now he’s confused, if intrigued.
“Oh, dear Haruspex.” It’s a sigh, spoken against his ear as Dankovsky leans in close, and if the shivers weren’t enough to keep him silent, the nickname surely is. He only thinks he’s called him that once before, and it was when he was trying to make the hardest decision in his life. The contrast is stark, and it takes him out of himself for a moment. “I think there is a lot you could learn.”

Summary
Faith — there's not much else to have. He's not sure how much Burakh wants it from him—if he even wants it at all. But the days go, and the lives with them. He's not sure what else couldn't fault him. He misses, almost, Death as it once was — an almost placid force that he knew [...] he could stand up to. [...] Death, back then, was winning more often than not (well, it always won in the end, but the Bachelor could put up a fight), but it was, mostly, a fair foe.
But this was—this is no Death. This is Conquest, Pestilence.
(The black night mare, dusk after dusk, bleeds out her colors, pales like a wet ink stain patted then rubbed dry; like bone slowly sun-bleached. She turns the color of blood-stained enamel, of the rot of a cavity.
Rot, rot, rot. To the bone, to the marrow. [...])The Bachelor weaves in and out of the story, between its lines — where the story develops.
A Bachelor-centric study of the Plague in mythified half-vignettes, for when one is faced with the un(com)prehensible it is always easier to see things through someone’s worse, and sadder story.Bookmarked by call777today

Summary
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away…
As much as Artemy wants to spend the night with his colleague, after the man makes an offer that they might take pleasure from each other if they're so inclined, when a butcher lays at last with his lover what will he see? A body to be caressed, or harvested? Haunted by visions of his place being to cut along the Lines, haunted by guilt over past choices, the Haruspex fears he won't be much of a close, intimate friend to Daniil Dankovsky after all...
