    Summary

    He's a textbook case of the Dark Triad -- or so they say.
    Machiavellian, manipulative, ruthless, willing to cross the lines of morality if the actions feel justified (to him).
    He's the first to admit that his moral compass is broken. He's the first person to call himself a monster—aside from maybe Magnus, his father's best friend. Nobody but Magnus has seen the depths of depravity he's willing to descend. Who else would help him cover his tracks?

    In his eyes, she's his polar opposite.
    She is pure. She is kind. She is infallible. She is light.
    If he's a demon, she's an angel.

    She's the only thing that's ever meant anything.
    She's the only thing he knows he can never have.
    Some things are too beautiful to be broken. Even *he* knows that.
    That doesn't do anything to tamp down the urge to break her, to drag her down to his level.

    But is his perception correct?
    Is the sweet, candy-coated exterior hiding something darker?

    Summary

    Coming up with creative solutions to budget issues is nothing new at Iron & Glass Community Art Center, but bartering with your creepy neighbor for printer access is definitely pushing your limits. Enter Silco, all sharp angles and sharper retorts, whose tendency to throw money at problems nearly sparks a diplomatic incident. But first impressions have a way of unraveling, and maintaining professional distance becomes increasingly difficult when every interaction leaves you more intrigued by the man behind the mismatched gaze and wry reserve, even as your assumptions about him keep getting the better of you.

    Summary

    As long as he can remember, Sebastian’s life has been a blur. In the haze of dreams and reality, he has existed within the space between.
    Waking to find himself in an unfamiliar place.
    Dreaming of an ordinary day, only to open his eyes and realize none of it ever happened.
    Disillusioned, detached from reality, he clings to the one constant in his life: the girl who exists only in his dreams.

    Reality collides with his dreams on the day she arrives in town — in the flesh. A real, living, breathing woman.

    We join Sebastian and Roxanne as they unravel the tangled web of their pasts, and what this means for the future.

    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.
