Kings of the Night

Elizabeth still can’t help but doubt Red's sincerity.

Total fluff, some spoilers for tonight's episode. Daniel had told her to love again on that horrific day in the stables, and she’d thought it impossible, thought that she would never find someone she could love like she had him. She’s too old, too bitter with a thousand wrongs both wrought by her and against her, and there’s no space for love in her heart for anyone but Henry. It’s easier than she’d ever imagined it would be…it’s more painful than she’d ever dreamed it would be, because Daniel had said nothing about being loved in return, and this twisting love that’s revitalizing her is destroying her with that knowledge.

Splitting this off from the Sky Attraction - Future Snippets (follows In the Ring and In the Ring - OMAKE). In which Tsu-hime also has Xanxus in her thrall, and they work on something like a relationship that allows the three of them to function and lead the Vongola Alliance. For now, a repository of smut.

Bellamy Blake had a reputation at Arkadia High. For what? Well, that changed daily. Spending a year away from school was unheard of, and he wasn’t going to tell anyone why he had, so they came up with the reasons themselves. Some days he murdered a kid, others he sold an organ in order to pay for something trivial. Although, he had to admit he liked the porn star theory the best. All anyone needed to know was that as long as they kept their distance, there was no need for Bellamy to get involved in their lives. Yet, when Finn Collins, spurred on by Jasper Jordan and Monty Green, decides to pay him to take out the school’s ex-princess Clarke Griffin, what could go wrong?
