Summary
'Taking in the smell, aren't you, Jon? If you came closer, I think you could find it even more enjoyable.'
And of course, Elias wouldn't keep this revelation to himself.
'Jon?' Martin's voice manages to get through to Jon. He needs a second to realize Martin probably requires him to speak up.
'No,' he gets out through gritted teeth, though he himself is not sure who this 'no' is intended for. Martin? Elias? Him, telling himself not to let the desperation show?
'Oh, my. He didn't tell you, I take it?' Amused, Elias takes a step towards them. Here goes Jon's chance that Elias would spare him the humiliation of a forced coming out.
'Jon? What didn't you tell me?' Martin backs out, but stays before Jon, covering him from Elias with his own body. Yet Jon still feels stared at.
'Martin...' His voice breaks into a whine. He can't be sounding like that, he can't. Not here, not now. It would be better if it came from him rather than Elias, but he can't. He can't have Martin know that...
'He's going into heat.'

Jon tries to save the world by agreeing to spend his heat with Elias.

Summary
'I'm not a girl.'
'Oh. I am sorry, then,' I apologize, while the young person who is not a girl wipes their eyes. I make a quick mental note to update our records. 'Who are you then?'
'I think I might be a boy.'
'Alright.' I sit next to the young person who may be a boy.
'But I'm not really sure.'
'It's alright too,' I assure the young person who may or may not be a boy. 'What pronouns would you like me to use?'An original short story about death and a conversation.

Summary
Out of all the grimwalkers, you looked the most like him.
He doesn't have a name; he never had. He was either the Golden Guard whenever he'd put on his mask — a symbol of the Emperor's Coven, making the Emperor proud — or a hunter whenever he'd take it off. Not Hunter; a hunter. Just another witch hunter — Titan knows how many have there been before him.
Has every single one of them been called Hunter? -

Summary
It'd be a lot easier to be just the Golden Guard. The Golden Guard is perfect — a genius teen prodigy. Capable. Charismatic. Confident. Brave. Smart. Dependable.
It's not him; it's just a mask he's been wearing for far too long to know what he's doing when he finally takes it off.

Summary
“What, do you think this is my entire plan? A year-long espionage campaign conducted for the sole purpose of seeing the spymaster of this realm in his shirtsleeves? Get over yourself.” Caleb had thought that a trip to an herbalist’s shop had seemed like a perfectly innocuous prospect. Doing so while following Essek through the maze-like alleys and corridors of the Night Market had even seemed like a pleasant way to while away a chilly autumn afternoon. Now, though? Now Essek is sprawled out on the divan in Caleb’s study, looking anxious, flushed, and more than a little feverish. Caleb has to admit: the day’s events have taken a bit of a turn.
