Penname: London Kemaker

It was very weird trying to navigate a destroyed, unfamiliar building with only a distant, flickering purple light for guidance. And Nico was barefoot. And he was trying to stay in the utter blackness of Dimitri’s shadow as he felt his way across the rubble. His pace was a laughable crawl. He wasn’t any kind…

Dimitri stood, dripping, hard, yearning and terrified at his Sire half-collapsed in the bathroom shower. That was the only possible explanation. Nico was his Sire. It didn’t make any sense. It didn’t obey any of the supernatural laws of power. It wasn’t possible. Human beings couldn’t be a vampire Sire. They couldn’t even sense vampire…

Dimitri paced thoughtfully in the kitchen while Nico shoved food—actual calories—into his mouth, his eyes fixed on the tray as if even a glance in Dimitri’s direction would derail them again. It probably would. Dimitri hadn’t seen a Sire come into their power personally before, but there were plenty of rumors among the Court. He…

Nico blinked at his empty kitchen. Dimitri had… disappeared. He hadn’t run out the door, it was more like he’d teleported instantly somewhere else. Nico reached out into the empty air where Dimitri had been, dumbfounded. He’d been there, standing and smirking at Nico with those eminently kissable lips, and then the air had rushed…

Dimitri stood firm on the hill of rubble that was his Court’s throne room and stared at the witch before him. Her small flame of Void power gave her away—not that she was trying to hide what she was. Demon-touched. A human, once, who had discovered the forbidden ways of calling upon the Void so…

Nico woke up with a knot in his chest. Like a muscle he didn’t know he had was cramping from overuse. He rolled out of Dimitri’s arms and realized he was on the hard floor at the same moment every single joint in his body screamed at him. He groaned pathetically as his shoulder and…

Nico breathed hard as he pushed himself off the rug and back to his feet. His legs quivered unsteadily. He didn’t have enough energy for the next jump, but he reached his hands up to the ceiling and went up on his toes with as much force as he could wring from his thighs. His…
