    Summary

    After the battle, Viktor is imprisoned.

    Mel takes a deep breath. “I don’t think you understand how precarious his situation is right now. He is the most hated man in Piltover. Most do not want to see him recovered; they want to see him hanged.”

    Summary

    When he sneaks back into his room to grab a pair of pajamas, Kurapika sits up very, very suddenly— and with his hair messy from sleep and eyes gleaming in the dark he looks like the scary kid from every horror movie Leorio swore he wouldn’t watch with Killua.

    Jesus,” Leorio says. 

    “Hi,” Kurapika says.

    Summary

    “Hello, husband. Why are you naked?”

    Damen draws in a ragged breath seemingly more from emotion than physiological need, and Laurent notices the exact moment that his eyes focus on Laurent and he is able to take in the world before him.

    “Laurent,” he says, a little raspy, eyes still wide, “how did you do that three—four times? I have never felt so—The lack of control. It felt like drowning. How were you sure you didn’t drown?” He stumbles to the edge of the spring as he speaks, driven by a clear impetus: dropping to his knees next to Laurent and pulling him in for a reassuring hug. Laurent pushes him away before he can make contact, standing and lifting the towel from the pile he has made.

    “You’re all wet, and I’d prefer not to be. Dry yourself and get dressed, and then you may lay your hands on me.”

    ---

    After the events of even in another time, Laurent and Damen take the opportunity to go on a trip—a honeymoon of sorts—to the modern world. Brothers are met, books are launched, and another first is experienced.

    Summary

    Laurent is a ragdoll, pulled down into the dark at improbable speed. The lift it makes in his stomach is odd, like the giddy drop on a rollercoaster. A moment of elation, perhaps, before he dies.

    He breaks the surface.

    His gasping mouth now pulls in air, his feet firmly on the rock bottom of the spring and legs holding him up unshakably. Water streams from his head, down his body, as though a bucket had been dumped over his head. He reaches up to push his sopping hair from his eyes.

    “Naiad,” a voice says.

    Laurent stills. Psychological collapse should be allowed, by the universe, to be a solitary affair, especially when it happens in a state of complete undress. It’s unfair on a cosmic level that Laurent should be happened upon by a stranger in his current condition.

    ---

    On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.
