Don't go to Boku and I don't say nothing to Samuel. Don't go to Miss Miao neither, cause she's got enough to worry about and she'd know something was up, even if I didn't say nothing. Don't know Johnny well enough, not really, not well enough for when I feel like this. I should've been nicer to Eris, never mind running off. Course she's upset. ( Read more... )

Noon of Day 137I don't know how long I was there, pressed to the stone. It was no longer cold under this coil, but I was. That's what Lúgh said. That I was cold. I should get up. Aphrodite slithers over my body, whispering in my ear. I can't hear what she says. I can stare. That I can do ( Read more... )

Voronin Manor, Wednesday, October 14th, Dusk

The sun was in the sky when the ember went out. It should have been a flare. A blazing inferno. Loud and changing the world. I am left with echoing ash in the corner of my mind.

Boku recovered from the choked bite of the late breakfast. I wrapped myself tight in ash and let him have his day with the boy of ( Read more... )

Day 133, Sunday, October 11th
Post Office

There is a rhythm under most things when you look for it. It was not hard to find a rhythm for my time with Luke, we did not even look for it. More a pattern that fit so well we started moving within the steps of it before we even tried. We meet for lunch most days that he works within the office. The days ( Read more... )

Early evening, Tuesday, October 6th, day 128
Follow Me BoyFour days since our meeting with Fiona and Mab and Lucien and Glass. Four days since we determined exactly what had happened and why...and still, it seems we are no closer to any sort of solution. I have not seen Karina at all, nor have there been any moves so far as the election goes. I ( Read more... )

[Early afternoon of Sunday, September 27 (day 119)]
[Tavern of Hell]Tavern has a window, and I'm sitting in the farthest corner from it, ignoring the street outside. Too early to be drinking, particular as I'm not sure if Lucien'll be back and I'll be going over to the 'Boy to take a look at Miao later today. Mind, with living upstairs I can damn ( Read more... )

Luke went over to Boku's attic at the library for a dinner at which very little food was actually consumed, but there was a lot of rather sweet sex, earnestness, smiling at each other in that first flush of romance way, and Luke discovered why the Japanese eat kneeling on the floor.

Day 117, Friday, September 25th
Library Attic, Evening

The feeling in my stomach has not left since I last saw Luke-kun. Anticipation and clenching anxiety and excitement. The time crawled by, but suddenly it is the day. Despite our wishing for it to be soon, the days have been filled with work instead, but receiving Luke’s note that he should arrive ( Read more... )

Evening, the libraryFair to say my estimation of Miss O'Hara from the stores ain't been higher. She done something good getting folk together to find out stuff about gods, even if it's just a start. Did wonder if Boku'd say more, but it seems like he's thinking on it and I reckon I got a lot in my head as needs thinking on too. Lately I ain't ( Read more... )

Monday, around 5pmIt's a cool, breezy late afternoon when I walk to the library. Main Street is still busy as the last voters cast their ballots. I feel a little nervous, but also optimistic, about this evening. I called in on Hermia on Saturday in my lunch break, and she seemed very eager for us to have the meeting, so I was glad. I have ( Read more... )
