Sir Flins! I know you're in there. (Knock! Knock! Illuga's knocks slow, but in exchange, their volume increases. Eventually, the last of his knocks taper off into silence with only the whistling winds through Final Night Cemetery to keep him company.) Huh... Are you really not home? +

... Another nightmare...? (Illuga sits up in his bed, sighing quietly to himself. At least he didn't wake up screaming this time - small victories. It's dark, but his eyes adjust quickly. Water... That should help to calm his nerves.) ...

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

(Fae aren't the only creatures capable of greed and desire. Illuga's legs wound around Flins, securely locking him right where he wants him as they kiss. If it means tasting Flins' lips for even a second longer, Illuga will do it. He'll spin this fae round and round in endless circles to make +

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

(Illuga squeezes Flins' hand, and 𝘵𝘶𝘨𝘴.) If you'll be anything, then... be mine. (It isn't a request, but a demand. Not one asserted, but rather, simply stated, as if it will become a fact by doing so.) And since I'm yours... come have your fill.

(Aedon takes flight, circling above their heads with a flourish before perching nearby, his golden light joining the myriad of lanterns decorating the hall. Illuga's gaze does not move away from Flins - 𝘩𝘦 calls him 𝘩𝘪𝘴 muse, and yet, who is the muse's muse if not the enchanting fae before him?) +

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

(A soft blush dusts his cheeks - but he doesn't shy away in the face of Sir Flins' compliments. For whatever reason, Illuga feels emboldened in this outfit, out of character as it may be for him to wear such fanciful clothes... Maybe they suit him after all.) Sir Flins... +

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

... Sir Flins? Geez, why are you just staring without saying anything?! You helped pick this out, didn't you? (Puffing up his cheeks in a pout.) At least say what you're thinking...

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

[💭: For you? Always.] Oh, Sir Flins! (Illuga lights up - as if Flins' presence alone has chased away a personal rain cloud that was looming overhead.) I believe I do, yes. You have good timing. I was just about to leave to deliver you a letter.

(Regrettably, Illuga's first reaction is not to reject Flins' thoughts, but to 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 in all the ways he could never say aloud. Except - he knows now that Flins can hear everything, and although no noise escapes his lips, he is quickly mortified all the same.) [💭: I need it.] +

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

[💭: Devour?!] (Illuga's brain short-circuits, mouth agape and a deep flush burning his neck.) [💭: Sir Flins, that's playing dirty! Wait, but hold on. Can only I hear him, and not the other way around? He's not reacting to anything I think... only my physical reactions. Maybe I'm in the clear?] +

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

(Flins' bright smile in return brings a sheepish grin to his face, and he scratches an index finger at his cheek. Despite all they'd been through and committed to together, he's still learning how to reconcile the constant crisis mode of a Lightkeeper with normal things like 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 and 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. +

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

(He was like putty within Flins' hands. Easily shaped, readily leaning into every touch. A shudder ran through his frame as cold breath fanned over the shell of his ear, eyes screwing shut - and he did his best to summon all of his resolve. There was something Flins needed to know - he had to +

(Although he 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 of Flins' inhuman strength, experiencing it himself takes his breath away. Wonder dazzles in his eyes, enchanted by a creature who could end his life in a blink, and yet, he only feels 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 as the fae's pace quickens. Illuga's pulse spikes - not out of fear, but rather, +

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

(Several emotions crossed his face at once: Fear, relief, confusion, denial... they soon settled on something more bold, more 𝘐𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘨𝘢. Anger.) What if the Wild Hunt takes you? (Illuga clung to Flins' coat lapels, refusing to let him go. Metaphorically, and physically.) You... you don't take +

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

(Fae power or not, the kiss to his forehead had a magical effect. In that moment, Illuga stopped denying his own release. He, who cried more than anyone during the Ratniki's large banquets where they mourned, had locked his vulnerability away, refusing to put it on display for anyone... +

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Why...? (As tears stain black leather, as his chest seizes with anguish, as his expression twists and contorts with every wave of pain washing over him - he holds Flins tight, his grip unwavering.) Aren't you ashamed of me? So then why... Someone so weak... so useless...

010

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

(Unfortunately for Illuga, he 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴. There is a silent love in the way Flins holds him - a sort of patience that only accompanies a serious commitment to care for another - but Illuga is 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘣𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯. He isn't used to it. All of the attention he receives, the consideration Flins gives him, it's +

110

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

(A chill runs down his spine - in part out of fear, and in part... an emotion he doesn't dare put a name to just yet. If Flins will use that tone of voice with him when he acts out - it might encourage him to do it more often. For now, he's still in a bad mood.) +

110

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

(Ah. Illuga can't help it... Sir Flins' embrace is too comforting to ignore. For whatever reason, part of him isn't ready to let go of being upset just yet. He hides his face in Flins' leather coat, angry tears pricking his eyes.) But it 𝘪𝘴 nothing.

120

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

(Illuga grimaces, turning his head away so that Flins cannot see it.) I-it's nothing...

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Missed you?! Urgh - you never told me you were heading to Nasha Town, Sir Flins! (His League meetings were there - they could have traveled together. But no, the senior Lightkeeper just had to up and disappear for a few days, making Illuga worry sick when he knocked on the lighthouse doors +

D-don't act as if you don't already know! (Ahhhhhhh, he was insufferable...! Face in his hands, Illuga could not bear to turn around and look Sir Flins' way. What an unfair individual... and he knew exactly the effect he had on Illuga, too. Evil.) Whatever you want to say, just say it already!

000

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I could say the same to you. You've wormed your way into my heart, Sir Flins. I'm afraid, at this point, I could not easily let you out of my sight.

Illuga @nightingales-song.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

H-hold on, this is going all too fast... (Illuga shook his head to clear it, grabbing and squeezing the hand underneath his own as if it were his lifeline. With this reality-breaking revelation, it might as well have been his only tether to the world...) You aren't... spinning me a yarn again, +

Um... (He has... so many questions. Sir Flins taking gentle hold of his hand does nothing for the bubbling anxiety threatening to spill over. Him? Fae? Illuga is caught between flustration and bewilderment, glancing down at their hands with a blush rising on his cheeks, then back up.) +
