Summary
[Spoilers for C4E31.]
“You embarrassed me,” Occtis hisses. “You embarrassed me today.”
The boy is standing over the bed, gaze fixed on the mattress, seeing nothing as his clever mind fixates on some unknown fact of Julien’s prior conduct.
Julien tries to play the day’s hectic events back through his mind, but their flight from Dol-Makjar was a fearful one plagued by paranoia, so much so that he finds his recall hampered. He’s sure he was an asshole to everyone all day, but he doesn’t remember aiming it at Occtis, at least not on purpose.
Waiting for Occtis to volunteer information tends to involve more patience than Julien has handy, so he’d might as well ask. “When did I embarrass you?”
Occtis still doesn’t look at him. “You picked me up like a sack of grain in front of all of our colleagues.”
Of all the things to have a fight about right now, Julien feels like this isn’t the one he’d personally pick, and a stupid part of him wants to say so. An even stupider part of him wants to point out that that was last night, not today.
He manages to hold his tongue on these two points, but he can’t keep his ire from his tone. “What did you expect me to do? Leave you behind?”

a painful reminder (don't look in my eyes) by Anonymous

Summary
Something awful roils in Aranessa's stomach. That fracture opened up by the separation of Julien's hands from hers is widening, forming a yawning well of desperation, a frightening thing that digs its fingers into her and threatens to rip her apart. She bites her tongue until blood slips down her throat, trying to tame the monster, to call it to heel.
It does not work. Her lungs are not working either. No matter how many times she opens her mouth to say yes, Julien, you have my permission, the words simply refuse to come out.
"I would beg you to stay, Sir Davinos," she whispers. The tears surge up again, threatening to choke her words. She holds them back. "I do not wish to spend the night alone."
In another universe, Julien remains at the Palazzo, instead of going to the Tangled Sheet.

Varsity Football (and other things Occtis Tachonis wishes he got the appeal of) by KitWalker

Summary
Coming off of the worst summer possibly had by anybody who's ever been alive ever, Occtis hopes that finally enrolling in college with his best friend will give him the fresh start he's been dreaming about.
Unfortunately for him, he gets tricked into swapping dorms and ends up with an entirely different slew of problems in the form of a heartbroken, vindictive senior who won't shut up about sports.
But anywhere is better than back home, and Occtis can probably deal with this while still keeping his ideal college life and integrity intact.
... probably

Summary
The sound that escapes Occtis's mouth is completely unintentional, a crack in the perfect self-control of death. A small squeak, utterly undignified - but more than enough to send Julien scrambling upright, hissing in shock.
"You are awake, Tachonis."
Uh-oh. He sounds venomous. It's the tone of teachers, and parents, and figures of authority. The tone that means you've gone and done it now, boy. When Occtis was younger, he never understood what the it in question was. Now, dead nerve endings tingle, trying valiantly to paint his face with an embarrassed flush. The pieces of the equation he's been missing fall into place.
Oh, no. Oh, fuck. He's miscalculated. Badly. He knows this it a bit too well.
Occtis can't sleep anymore.
He hasn't mentioned this fact to his companions.
Some awkwardness ensues.Series

Summary
"Julien needs to keep an eye on him (or in this case tightly clasped hand around his arm), and Occtis can leech his warmth as the nights grow darker and colder and the possibility of him freezing solid becomes a genuine concern.
This, the party knows about; the sex they do not."Julien is refusing to look at his feelings about any of this.
