A Season For Setting Fires

words:95639 Chapter:31
Angst torture imprisonment war
Torture smells like spring. Like daffodils and tulips and snowdrops. Like the bouquets brought inside from the manor gardens to lend their life to cold stone walls that house criminals. Easter mixed with madness makes sense in this twisted landscape; Draco’s only chance at survival is to endure it. He knows this. But that doesn’t quell the twitching in his calves, the flexing in his fingers. Granger lifts her hand off the floor and Draco nearly loses his lunch, stomach churning as he watches her extend her arm, reaching through the translucent cord, reaching towards him. He tries to blink it away, blink blink blink, but both she and the cord are stubborn, persistent things. [In which a soulmate bond appears while Hermione is tortured at Malfoy Manor. Canon divergent from that moment onward.]

“I don’t want us to be ruined,” Archie says softly. “It’s not ruined,” Jughead repeats. “It’s not even about us.” “It is.” “This summer wasn’t your fault. I get why you ditched me now. I’ll get over it.” “I didn’t want to get you dirty.” “You aren’t dirty,” he repeats. (archie tries to process and jughead tries to help. a lot of other feelings get in the way.)

And Nico gets up because that's what he does, he runs when Percy calls, and he wanders over to Percy and wraps an arm round his waist and pushes his face into his neck because that's what they do. There's something masochistic about the whole situation but since when has anything ever not been with Nico. At least with this he gets that run of pleasure, that glimpse of what could be, when Percy rests his head on his for a moment, squeezing his waist before he pulls out a plate from the cupboard and dumps all of the chow mein onto it. nico's in love with percy. he deals with it in his own way.
