Summary
Just as he was about to pass out, a sudden wave of scorching heat swept over him, searing his skin like the door of a blazing furnace thrown wide. The monsters let out a single, piercing shriek before the heat vanished as abruptly as it had come, leaving behind a heavy silence and the acrid stench of charred flesh.
Illuga opened his eyes and saw his savior standing calmly before him, one hand tucked behind his back and the other holding up a glowing lantern.
Or: First meetings, first love.

Summary
Snow crunches under Illuga's boots, the frozen crust giving way under every step. It slows him down and tires him out, his breath rasping with every frantic inhale.
"Sorry, Sir Flins," Illuga mutters under his breath. Around him, the freezing air is heavy with the cries of the dead.
---
Or Illuga bites more than he can chew. As per usual.Series

Summary
As Illuga emerged from the soft blanket of mist that perpetually covered the island, more than half a day late, Flins noticed that something was definitely wrong. Illuga’s face was pale, his features tight in an expression that told tale of exertion and pain. He found himself moving towards Illuga before he’d really thought about it. And good thing too, because as soon as he was within arm's reach Illuga moved towards him and sagged against his chest. For a fiercely independent man like Illuga to rely on another so visibly for support, even someone as close to him as Flins, something had to be so genuinely wrong that it frightened Flins to his core.
"Finally made it."

Summary
“Huh.” Wriothesley looks past Neuvillette, watching as rain continues to fall. “Wasn’t the sky clear just now? Didn’t see this in the weekly weather report…”
But that’s when he hears it. A sound that seizes his heart almost immediately.
A sniffle.
Or, when Wriothesley cares for Neuvillette after a long day, Neuvillette finds himself more emotional than usual. But of course, Wriothesley doesn't mind.

“Do I?” Sethos hums. The urge to slap him across the head is stemmed by the fact that he is still very much bleeding all over the floor. “Oh, right. I mean, it’s not like I had time? And nobody does my hair like you, dear.”
“That’s not what I—” Scaramouche begins. Then his brain latches onto the last word like a leech, a broken record: dear. Dear. Dear, he said.
Has he ever called Scaramouche that before?
Or, the wanderer's relationship to terms of endearment.

Summary
Flins’ voice sounds like an outright prayer. Those listless eyes of his are fixated only on him, as if he need not beg services of a deity. It is a quiet yet palpable desperation unlike anything seen before. Flins — typically indifferent — at his wit’s end.
Illuga, ever so cruel, refuses him anyway.
“I don’t care. Because…” he pauses. Something different appears in their shared air, so thick and malleable, all-consuming, present enough for a blade to cut through. There’s a hesitant beat, two, several, until Illuga loses count. A mutual acknowledgement between them that, when he vocalizes what he desires to convey, he will truly be past the point of no return.
For the sake of defending his own pride, he does it anyway. Spills out the words plaguing him all this time.
“Because, if I’m the one who dies, it means I won’t have to watch it happen anymore.”
After Dottore’s defeat and the Nightmare Orioles’ mission, Illuga pays Flins a visit.

Summary
“You really like him.”
It’s not a question, but Ayato can hear the unvoiced don’t you? at the end of it.
Maybe, would be the safest, less terrifying answer. The most Ayato-esque one. But can he really avoid being completely honest about something like this? Itto, faced with the same question, would certainly agree. He wouldn’t think twice before replying and he wouldn’t even just stop at a simple “yes”, he would add some colorful comparisons as well. I like Ayato more than I like raising Onikabuto, or I like Ayato more than I like free candy.
“I do.”
He can’t look Heizou in the eyes when he says it, but it’s a start.

Ayato doesn’t take part in the Test of Courage, but that doesn’t mean his courage isn’t tested.

Summary
“Ah, I see how it is. You’re worried for his safety.”
“Yes. Why wouldn’t I be? I’m his second-in-command, after all. And,” Shinobu pinches the bridge of her nose like she’s trying to stave off an impending migraine “he’s also my friend. I will always worry about him, even if I trust him unconditionally.”
“What admirable loyalty. You can rest assured, then. I’m not using him at all, neither for the Yashiro Commission’s sake, nor for my personal gain. I simply enjoy his company.”
Shinobu doesn’t look too convinced. Her forehead wrinkles in confusion; to Ayato’s amused eyes, each wrinkle could as well resemble a question mark.
“You” she states, deadpan.
“Me?”
“You… enjoy his company?”
“Correct. Is it really that difficult to believe?”

In which Ayato finds out some things about Arataki Itto and gets found out in turn.

Summary
At many points Illuga had convinced himself that if anyone on this earth was invincible, besides the gods, it was Flins. Flins, who never shied from danger. Flins, who was always so confident, and always correct, when he said there was no danger. Flins, who, by all accounts, was a soul old enough to rival the existence of Nod-Krai itself.
Flins, whose broken body and shattered lantern now lay in a puddle of blood, fresh and seeping, steam rising from it where it met the frigid night air.
Illuga's eyes snapped open.

“The report, yes, which you’ve not even begun,” Illuga huffed, uncrossing his arms so he could slam a hand down onto the blank piece of paper forgotten in the middle of the table. “If Lumine hadn’t told me about it…”
Just like I had to find out from her about the full extent of your actions at Kipumaki Cliff?
Illuga finds out Flins almost sacrificed himself during a mission and he tries to be mad at him while Flins tries to sweet talk (and touch) his way our of the argument.

Summary
Flins catches Illuga smoking. He feels very normal about it.
As Illuga breathes in, Flins feels the plant fibres burn in his flame, but most vividly, the image returns: the embers of the cigarette lighting up azure, himself travelling along their path, past Illuga’s lips, his throat, burning in his lungs as his broad chest expands, penetrating his bloodstream, spreading outward into his strong limbs and stronger heart, being absorbed by Illuga wholly and fully, and it makes him feel more heady than anything he’s ever consumed in the past.

Summary
"Your beans are enchanting, Little Master, and I ask for your permission to squeeze them,"
Illuga's ears, triangular and quite big compared to the rest of him, twitched and faced towards his current nuisance in life: elegant, leather-clad and unfortunately attached to someone who enjoyed nothing more than teasing him. He resisted temptation and rolled himself into a miserable ball of grey fur. Sometimes, the best way was to ignore one's bullies and not give them the satisfaction of a reaction. Yes, Illuga allowed his paw to be held by said nuisance. Flins pressed his finger against a delicate pink toe bean. He then fucking cooed.Or: Illuga gets cursed and is transformed into a cat. Flins takes care of him.

“You heal fast,” Flins observes, feeling his heartbeat jog a little faster under his palm. “Perhaps youth is good for only that.”
“I’m not that young anymore,” Illuga says wearily, placing his hand over Flins’. “Do you like younger men, Sir Flins? Is that why you enjoy teasing me?”
“Ah, Master Illuga, ‘tis a bold claim to assume that I would not like you either way.” He bats a suggestive eye at him, and Illuga cracks into a smile - the first one this whole week. ”There you go.”

Summary
Flins pokes his head into Illuga's bedroom to see the other man slumped over his desk, a pen still gripped in his hand as he mutters to himself in his sleep.
Flins' face softens. The Ratniki outside are enjoying themselves, basking in their homecoming, and here is Illuga, working himself to the bone. Flins approaches him quietly and reaches towards him to tuck a stray strand of hair behind his ear, admiring the soft curve of his cheek and the dusting of his eyelashes upon it.
Nikita requests Flins' presence in Piramida to help Illuga with a report.

Summary
“So let me, then.” Wriothesley leaned forward, resting his chin on Neuvillette’s shoulder. “Let me take care of you.”
“I am the Chief Justice of the Courts of Fontaine,” Neuvillette protested. “I do not require anyone’s care. I am the Iudex, I am–”
“–full of shit,” Wriothesley cut him off as casually as if commenting on the weather. Neuvillette spluttered, the blush on his cheeks darkening even further.
“Excuse me?!”
“You’re excused,” the Duke answered smoothly.
Or, an alternate ending to the 4.1 Archon Quest. Neuvillette is battered and exhausted from forcing back the Primordial Sea, and just wants to get back to his office so he can regain his strength without anyone worrying.
Spoiler alert: Wriothesley worries.

Summary
Warmth Shared With Friends (Outdoor Furnishing):
“A two-seater bench made from repurposed sheet metal, commonly seen around the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop.
This type of material seldom offers warmth. Thus, those seated must huddle closer to fend off the chill.”-
On a windy night under a starlit sky, two Ratniki sat side by side on such a bench. For Flins, the cold was of little consequence. Illuga, try as he might, had no such resistance. A metal bench was not an ideal resting place in Nod Krai’s bitter chill—but Flins and the addictive heat of his body made it worth the trouble.
Illuga supposed such benches have their uses, after all.
