    Summary

    I was Pentheus, the god before me, insisting that I worship him, that I take on woman’s equipment. Aἰδώς μ᾽ ἔχει, Pentheus had said, shame checks me. Αἰδώς, an important word to the Greeks. Shame does not encompass it. Αἰδώς is everything from reverence, self-respect, a sense of honor, that which causes scandal, moderation, self-control.

    And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, Julian had asked, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? And what had I ever wanted, if not what was beautiful?

    --

    Or, my version of what might have happened if nobody had interrupted Francis and Richard that night...

    Summary

    Sand fucked Ray that night, staring him straight in the eyes, and although the motions were familiar, Ray knew something had changed because Sand was no longer looking at him like he was just some guy from the bar. He was looking at him like he was Ray—and like being Ray was enough.

    Summary

    "So you do care about me, huh?"

    White blinks, once, twice, and decides that this is the night he becomes an only child, because how fucking dare his brother make Sean think that he never cared about him, that he doesn't care about him.

    "You know I do," he tells him, voice trembling just as much as his hands. 

    Sean hums and reaches towards him, fingers brushing down the jacket that he's wearing until he comes to a stop where they both know that there's a button missing. He grips the fabric like he's using it to keep himself grounded, and White so desperately wants to touch him, to lean down and kiss him better, but he still doesn't know what their boundaries are; how much of Sean he's allowed to have.

    "These bruises suggest otherwise."


    Or: the one where White patches up Sean's wound, and finds out just how cruel his brother can be.

    Summary

    Suho meets Sieun’s friends -that word is still jarring, even within the confines of his own mind- in a wheelchair, the sun too bright in eyes that are trying to adjust after months of being closed.

    And then he gets jealous.

    Just a tiny, little bit jealous.
