    Summary

    “You want to help?”
    He should say no. He came out here to get some fresh air, came here to escape the dangers of being captured. He is not about to lose it all helping some dipshit vigilante.
    Torch says yes.

    -----------

    After seeking shelter from the Bishops of Dema in its smaller, 'child city' called Trench, smuggler and escapee Torch thought life might wind down for a bit. Then he meets the city's local freakshow, Clancy, and it all goes flying out the window.

    Summary

    I can’t shake the ending of City Walls. That’s why… the cycle begins anew.

     

    Torch thought he had left the past behind—until he meets a new Clancy. The same face, the same name, a cruel echo of everything he once lost. But the harder he tries to protect the boy, the more the shadows of the old Clancy begin to resurface. Caught between corrupting marks, hidden truths, and impossible choices, Torch must decide: can this Clancy be saved, or is he doomed to the same fate?

    Summary

    “There’s something wrong with me."

    “There’s nothing wrong with you,” Torchbearer said, a harsh edge to his voice.

    Clancy eyed him. They both knew Torch was lying.

    Summary

    "So what do you think of my plan?"
    "It's feasible."
    Ties the last knot and gets up from the ground. "Not as risky as Debby's, but there are many variables."
    "Nothing we've never faced before."
    True.
    "If we get seen coming out of the passage we lose our main way of entering, forever. Not to mention that we'd have to cross the whole city to reach the other just to flee. If they haven't found it and walled it."
    "We could always check if the other tunnels I told you about still exist."
    Josh stops digging in his sack for another snare. "And put two more people at risk for your harebrained idea? Really?"
    "Just one. Me."
    "No."
    Tyler snorts. "If I didn't know you I'd say you're getting attached."
    Josh wouldn't put his finger on it.

    Summary

    He passes by the window, as he does every night, but a flash of colour makes him stop dead in his tracks. He whips his head to the side, looking out the glass.
    A man, dressed in dark olive greens and yellow stripes, a yellow bandana pulled up over the lower half of his face, is standing on the ground outside and holding a flaming torch, looking directly up at him.

    -----------

    Tyler is just trying to live his life as an exceptional citizen of Dema, but the Torchbearer won't leave him alone.

    Kinktober day thirteen: Temporary marks

    “Mark me with your paint?” Torch blinked, staring in disbelief at the man in front of him. “I think we've done it before, many times, Clance.

    “Yes. But now it would be different.”

    Or: Clancy finds another way to reclaim what belongs to him—by having Torchbearer use the painting on him.

    Summary

    “Trench was a place in between two places, the place you want to be, which is currently unknown, and the place you don't want to be.”

    Dema is dull. It is soaked in death, soaked so heavy it’s hard to breathe, and Tyler can’t take it any longer. Anything is better than this.

    Trench, now Trench is so much, so full of color and love, and it takes him in with open arms. He’d never think that feeling this good was possible. It cleared his mind, made his heart ache with hope to an extent he’d never reached before. He feels reborn—he is reborn. Gone is Tyler. From a name on a grave, he takes on a new name: Clancy.

    In Trench he finds a boy with sun colored hair and a gaze so warm it aches his chest. This boy is as if Trench was a person, so full of passion and care, and he is willing to give Clancy all of the love he holds in his heart.

    In Trench, he wasn’t alone.

    Summary

    “I’ve heard your kind were hardly better than feral dogs,” the cultist seethes with something like a wry smile on his cracked and swollen lips, “but I have to admit, you’ve managed to surprise me.”

    His eyes wander over the Torchbearer’s piecemeal armor, his tattered green tunic caked in mud so that the embroidered symbology is barely visible, his bloodied hands that never seem to wash clean these days. But the prisoner’s gaze seems to linger longest on the handle of the battleaxe that the Torchbearer carries on his back.

    Still faintly smiling, he asks, “Have you also come to offer me absolution, or are you my vengeful executioner here to relieve me of my head?”

    “You’re still breathing, aren’t you?”

    Isn't what I want, blood is on my tongue
    I cut my lip"

    Torchbearer looks at Clancy and goes "can i fuck him" and Clancy says yes
    (and also wonders why the writer stopped using the name Torchbearer 2 paragraphs in)
