    Summary

    So, Marshall replies, only half-faking his nonchalance, “It’s the price you pay for fame.” He shrugs.

    “Is it now?” Benedikt asks, the hint of a laugh not far from his words. His amused smile is only a little wry.

    “It has been, always.” Marshall mirrors the look of completely inane, child-like happiness softening the already pretty features of Benedikt’s too-pretty face. He wishes Benedikt could see himself as he is now: crowned in the red-orange-pinks of a merciful sunset ceding on the horizon, leaving a pink dust over the apples of his cheeks, blue eyes shimmering when he shifts one side in laughter and the dimming light catches his eyes for one clutched, suspended breath.

    Marshall is at the height of his career. But he is also at the height of his love life, stuck in an undefined relationship with the boy he’s known since before the fame: Benedikt Montagov. He misses him, and they meet in his car in secret. It shouldn’t feel so comfortable, it shouldn't feel so right, but Marshall is content.

    Summary

    When he lifted the cup to his lips, the ring on his left hand caught the light and immediately, Benedikt’s mood soured. Weddings were a magical thing, marriages even more so, but for him, it was only a reminder of how he was forced to be a secret. For him, it was an evil thing—for both him and his wife.

    or, benedikt gets forced into an arranged marriage and him and marshall drift—until they meet again at roma's bachelor party

    Summary

    She reappeared in front of them with two plates of meat and vegetables covered in gravy. Marshall reached out grabbing them and passing one to Benedikt.

    It looked unfortunately similar to the food they had eaten on the train.

    “Please tell me this isn’t Veal.” Benedikt muttered not intending for anyone to hear.

    “It’s all that we could find in the woods yesterday so eat up, you will need your energy tomorrow “ She was looking specifically at Benedikt.

    “Why me?”

    “Because Roma needs to stay and manage the ring and I can’t go alone”

    “Why can’t we both go?” Marshall butted in.

    Summary

    “That’s it, love. We’re okay.” Mars traced his hand up and down the subtle ridges of Ben’s spine as his mind raced, trying to figure out what was wrong. Ben had had a nightmare, clearly, but about what? There was certainly no shortage of horrors in his life that would justify this kind of panic, many of which had left painful memories that still reared their bloody heads in the dark of night. Sometimes, Mars wished he could step into Ben’s mind and fight the memories for him, could sweep away all the lingering echoes of gunpowder and flashing steel, could replace them all with snow and graphite sketches and kisses and the weighty breathlessness that surged through his veins at the sight of Ben’s gorgeously lopsided smile.

    ———

    Ben has a nightmare, and hurt/comfort ensues. Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin.

    POSTPONING TODAYS CHPT TO 10th (02/07) br />

    District Four is destroyed.
    Marshall is somewhere in Two with his distant father and Benedikt is underground, dwelling in the cold metal that is all of District Thirteen. Neither know anything about what is going on with the other, nor what is happening in the Districts they resided.
    But when push comes to shove, decisions must be made. Marshall has to make the choice to find a way out of the Loyalist's spotlight and into the rebellion. When the riots find Two, Benedikt presumes Marshall is dead, and Marshall knows it's every man for himself. He needs to figure out how to survive in this rebellion and Benedikt needs to find out how to put himself back together again.
    When they reunite, the war of lost love comes to a close; it becomes a threat instead. Suddenly, the boys find themselves on the front lines again, side by side with their family and friends, dodging bullets and killing their own.
    And when the secrets of another tyrannical President start to reveal themselves, they have to wonder whether they are freeing themselves, or stepping right into the 76th Hunger Games.

    Summary

    Marshall really never thought he’d crave immortality. Never saw the appeal, or felt the need to prolong what he’d always found to be something bitter and unpleasant. But staring at Benedikt’s detailed sketch—and even his nose, something Benedikt had finally perfected, taking his time to do so—he realises just what Benedikt has done. He has, intentionally or not… immortalised him.

    To be loved by an artist meant to live forever; to be loved by Benedikt was more than just that.

    To be loved by an artist is to live forever. Marshall realises this, finds that he likes it; he even realises that he desires immortality if it means Benedikt by his side forever. As he watches Benedikt paint him, he can’t fathom how pretty his lover is nor can he fathom his luck.

    Summary

    When he feels he can, Marshall pulls back a bit, enough for him to look into Benedikt’s eyes. When he was younger, it had always reminded him of the ink of his blue pen—not because they were similar, but because the dark shade of blue pen that trailed across the page was so different to the shade of Benedikt’s eyes. And when he noticed it, he wondered how God or… whatever it was out there, whoever had given him lungs to breathe and eyes to see the beauty of Benedikt’s smile—how they’d known this shade of Benedikt’s eyes would suit him so fucking well.

    And then, although he was never a very religious man, he thanked them.

    Or: Benedikt and Marshall were friends with benefits in university, both avoiding making it serious for one reason or another. Older now, they meet, and although they were never together Benedikt can’t forget him, Marshall can’t deny him, and they suffer. Or, well, Benedikt does.

    Summary

    When he found Marshall, held out his small hand and asked, “Do you have somewhere to go?” it had been out of the kindness of his heart as much as it was him saying, Do you want to be my friend? and a warning, too: You might just become my saviour—everything I love, one of the few things I hate.

    And just as he’d grown to expect, he hates Marshall.

    Most of all, he hates how often he thinks of him on those nights where his bed is too cold and too empty, could really use another presence, someone else to warm the left side. He hates how he doesn’t want anyone else there but Marshall.

    He hates how much courage Marshall has, kissing boys while darkness and punishment loom over him, a brief reprieve from what Benedikt thought had to be inevitable. He hates how daring Marshall is, kissing boys the way Benedikt wants to kiss him.

    Benedikt goes from being cynical: hating love and Marshall simultaneously, to realising he should actually hate himself, to realising that Marshall is just the kind of person you can’t help but love. (Or, Benedikt Is Smitten: The Pentalogy.)

    She had noticed the infamous figure of the White Flower heir sneaking about the gardens of the Cai mansion when she was no older than eleven.

    Summary

    He was plaguing Benedikt’s mind, both freeing him from the prospect of an existential crisis at three AM while simultaneously shackling him.

    This is to say, of course, he looked a fool writing down some condensed version of these thoughts at such a late hour. He’d already brushed his teeth and slipped into his silk pyjamas, but what good was sleep right now? What good was the softness of this fabric against his skin if it wasn’t Marshall’s hands?

    He hadn’t had enough of him. He feared maybe there wasn’t such a thing. He could never get enough of him.

    Alternatively, Marshall and Benedikt secretly do everything that lovers do without being lovers. Benedikt yearns for them to be more. Every year, autumn passes without a thing changing until one day it does. Luckily, they have each other the whole way through.
