    Summary

    Varka smells something. Just for a split second. Not the damp smell of the cave, nor of the smoke wafting off the crackling fire. It’s a soft scent, cloyingly sweet, and he finds himself desperately sniffing at the air for more.

    Then it hits him.

    Varka’s eyes widen.

    “Are you in heat?”

    Staff shortages require Varka and Lohen to take on a mission in Dragonspine. Things go fine, until they're forced to take shelter amid a blizzard.

    or: lohen goes into heat, varka is also there. what happens next will shock you

    Summary

    “You’re doing it to make me jealous.”

    Lohen raises his eyebrows like he’s intrigued by Varka’s accusation. 

    “Am I?” He chuckles, amused. 

    Lohen baits. Varka bites.

    Summary

    “Really, Grand Master, are you sure you're okay?” Lohen asked, brows knit together with concern. “You look like you're running a fever.”

    Varka's heart rate had picked up since he moved to the couch, and his vision was beginning to grow hazy, Lohen turning into a blooming blur in front of his eyes. He shifted his position on the couch, bringing a hand to his head. 
He screwed his eyes shut, taking a moment to see if he could find his bearings. No such luck. When he opened his eyes again, they were glazed over and glossy, and he looked up at Lohen, helpless.

    what's a little dessert between superior and subordinate?

    Summary

    The door swings open, heavy footsteps meeting the floor underneath. He doesn't look up to see who it is, he doesn't have to. A weight drops beside him, a silent but comforting presence all the same. Neither say anything, not immediately. They simply find something to stare at, their breaths the only sounds they make. There was a time where he hated how well it seemed the Grand Master could read him, believing it to be an opening for control to be taken from him. But now? He finds himself grateful for it, even extends some trust with it.

    "Well," he finally breaks the silence, figuring he might as well do it first. Get in his final word before the hammer swings down. "Guess that's that then, huh?" His hand falls to his lap, limp. Varka makes no move to answer. "The great heroes defeated the big bad villain and uncovered the remains of his influence while the sinner cleaned up his mistakes." A dry laugh fills the air, his heart isn't really in it. "At least I had one last hurrah. Certainly wasn't the way I imagined it, but eh, beggars can't be choosers."

    a quiet discussion after the storm has passed.

    Summary

    Fear. Desperation. Panic. All squashed together into something that neither Flins nor Illuga seem to be able to control.

    Illuga is sobbing, gasping for breath, and trembling while whispering 'please' and 'no' in a broken, hopeless way that Flins suspects will haunt him for the rest of his life.

     

    Illuga has a panic attack and Flins does his best to make him feel better

    TW for the panic attack and being passively suicidal
