    Summary

    Charles hadn’t meant to say the words: “like your soul, right?” when Edwin freaking Payne asked for an iced black coffee. But he did, and now he's finding out a whole lot more about the university's resident troublemaker than he ever thought he would.

    Summary

    For a single, glorious instant, all Grantaire registers is how beautiful the man is. He’s beautiful in a way that Grantaire has not seen on earth for a hundred years, maybe a thousand; beautiful in the way of gods and myths. It’s the kind of beauty that would leave him breathless, if Grantaire still breathed, but instead just manifests as just a stunned blow to the chest. The cut of those cheekbones, that high, delicate nose; the impossibly red mouth and the shock of golden curls tumbling just below his jaw.

    Apollo, Grantaire thinks, and the man, as if hearing his name, turns to face him.

    Then the thirst hits.

    Summary

    St. Hilarion University was going to be a fresh start for Charles Rowland. He had an eccentric but brilliant roommate, a stable part-time job, and good(ish) marks. What could go wrong?

    Many things--apparently--and all dealing with the strange woods that surround the campus. And the things that lurk within.

    Summary

    Fill for this prompt on the DBDA Kinkmeme.

    ----------

    “What you’re hearing is called the Song,” Sa’al eventually started excitedly. “Every millennium Hell chooses a being to inherit the tiniest fraction of It’s magic. No one knows how the they’re chosen, but for the past seventeen millennia, the inheritor has always been a demon. Except for the first – he was an angel. You humans know him as Light Bearer, Morning Star...”

    “Lucifer. The Devil.” Edwin finished quietly, fisting at his torn pants. Had he had been ‘gifted’ the powers of the literal devil? White hot fear choked him. Why him?
