[post]There was a buzz in Emrys' chest at the words, but also a feeling in his stomach; he felt there was something beneath Arthur's admission that he couldn't quite parse out. Was it enough to take t...

[post]He recognized what she was doing, with the compliments and the questions; she was courting him, trying to win his favor. He had been on the other side of this often enough, though it had been a ...

If you go "That Guy" the premise is very similar to Emrys' whole deal so they would almost certainly know each other! Friends, (former) lovers, rivals fighting over upcoming artists and sexy fresh blo...

[post]He kept an eye on her while he made small talk, but in a way that wouldn't make it obvious he was watching. She was playing her part beautifully. If he hadn't known better, he might almost have ...

She did know him at least a little, it turned out; the remark about not wanting to attract scrutiny hit true. Of course, they would attract far more scrutiny if they went out in public together and en...

Oh, how he wished he could believe her. She made the case well for what she wanted and it seemed cruel to deny her such a small request as an honest conversation, but there was enough in her letter to...

[Post]The story was starting to come together. Whether the woman at the booth had intended to cause chaos or had thought she was doing real good, it seemed clear that magic had been involved there. Ar...

[Post]The look on Arthur's face indicated he'd had the same thought Emrys had. Anything new was suspect, and a name like changes was doubly ominous. "Well, don't stop there," Emrys said. He wouldn't b...

[post]26 January, 1895 Angelica, I'm writing now against my better judgement. I don't think this exercise in trying to get you to see from my perspective will be any more successful than the la...

[Post]Not long at all. That was a stroke of luck. If it had been a gradual buildup over days or weeks or months then it would have been possible that whatever had happened to cause it had gone unnotic...

[post]23 January, 1895 Angelica, For years you assumed my mind instead of asking it, insisted even when I said no, and willfully misunderstood me when I tried to communicate with you. These are...

[post]Angelica, You could start with not assuming you know my mind better than I do. [/post] He would not send that. A benefit of having this conversation through letter was that he had tim...

Just bursting in here to say publicly that waking up to a SURPRISE SET in my Discord DMs was the ray of sunshine my life needed this week and I adore this set and also adore you

[post]Emrys didn't like that. Of course he never wanted Arthur in pain, and if he could believe that his knee had actually gotten better he would have been pleased for him, but he didn't believe that....

[post]Emrys felt out of his depth with this, but he nodded slowly. This felt like strange magic to him, and he didn't meddle with much of that. The spells he cast were generally mundane. He went a bit...
