❝𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒊𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒍. 𝑩𝒆𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒅, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆,❞ was what Circe told Lana Tenebris when an accident swept her from her old life into the paradise of Circe's island. Believing there was nothing in the world for her, Lana struck the deal, pushing aside hazy unsettling memories and the persistent strange warmth as bright as a small sun in her chest. But when she's pulled from her paradise with another shot at life in the world, the macabre truth of what really happened to Lana Tenebris reveals itself bit by bit. An omen of death hangs over her head-and the guillotine plunges at the sight of the god with a blinding smile as warm as the feeling in her chest, with eyes she's sure she's seen somewhere before back in the life she used to lead six decades ago. A tragic fate is Lana Tenebris's worst fear; the Fates must be laughing up at her now. For she had spent far too long hidden away in paradise, it was time for her to atone.

For probation, he's taken to the London Institute; the sentencing for what he had done would have been more brutal had it not been for his age and family influence. Though he would rather have suffered death at the hands of the Clave than suffer painstakingly in his current state-a ghost to the world around him; smoke of the flames in his soul, surging out of his lungs. In his bitter spite, against the people who refused to believe his innocence, Charlie Starkweather was killing himself slowly. Unintentionally deliberate. All he wanted to do was fly, to be free, but even someone as bright and fiery as him needs to drown in the deadly blue waves of his inevitable demise. As flashing, jagged, and so blue as pansies. As alluring and dangerously wicked as the gaze of William Herondale.

Everyone on Mars knew about the Garrison and, when it was Trent's turn at the age of 18 to be called to Earth for an ambassador's meeting, he was surprised to see that they were famous too---the first successful mission, the one people brought up especially when the Kerberos Mission went sideways. Sure he's a tad distant from Earthen happenings, but Trent's content strutting his strut on the Blue Planet before going back to living among his small community on Mars. Unfortunately, his life nosedives when his first night on Earth is disrupted by several teenagers and he's dragged along for the ride. One thing leads to another and Toto, they're definitely not in Kansas anymore. Or the Milky Way galaxy for that matter. ( season one - season eight ) ( crossposted: quotev )

Forced to separate even when in semi-close proximity to each other proves to be quite the challenge, yet also reveals to them what they never realized before. Struggling with battles both literally and figuratively, both men are determined to live through it and finally reunite for good at the end of the godforsaken war. But whether or not their enemies or society will allow them is a whole other problem.
