"Ever since I was a child, I've always been quite enamored with snakes. They're fascinating. Shedding their skin, eating larger animals by unhinging their jaws, and there are over three thousand species. I've been learning about them for years, finding out everything I can. Which snakes are venomous, which are constrictors. The most dangerous, the most unique, the good, bad, and ugly. They, as a species, are marvelous. I received my fair share of teasing names over the years for my fascination. Few were kind. I ignored them in favor of delving into more books, research papers, reading and analyzing and focusing myself on becoming an expert all things serpentine. It seemed only fate that I found what I did, that day the circus came to town." Logan Emory ~ Characters belong to Thomas Sanders

'Looking for quiet roommate.' 'Located in quiet area.' 'Apartment has previously received noise complaints.' Virgil groaned and tossed his phone onto his bed, burying his face in his hands. He just needed an apartment that would be okay with his job. Trying to keep to his price range and find what he needed was proving to be so much harder than he thought it would. This would be his first time moving somewhere that he didn't know the owners of the place beforehand. "Welcome to YouTube life, idiot." Virgil grumbled to himself. He picked up his phone again, going to close out of the app he was using, but suddenly a line on one that he hadn't looked at caught his eye. 'Must be willing to allow for eccentric work ethics and schedules, as owner of the apartment works independently online.' Virgil tapped on the listing and began to read. 'Four bedroom apartment, looking for up to three roommates. Apartments beneath and above are both empty at the moment, noise is not a problem so long as residents are courteous. Preferred that applicants are male.' Virgil stared at the listing. This was so... so perfect. He closed the app and tapped his messenger app. 'Hey Pat, I think I found something.' Disclaimer: I just reread A Lesson in Practicality by @residentanchor, so there might be some things ever so slightly similar to that, but if there are I am not doing it on purpose and I apologize. Characters belong to Thomas Sanders, as we know, and all Sanders Sides ships are tagged because if I'm completely honest I haven't fully decided what endgame ships are going to be. Hope you enjoy!

"I'm sorry, they found a what?" The five years after the passing of King Victor had been very harsh on the kingdom of Eaden. No one would disagree with that. He had been a benevolent ruler and a kind man. But everyone knew that his death had affected his son Thomas the most. Crowned king at the age of 24, and not having expected to rise to the position for years yet, Thomas had struggled to follow in his father's footsteps. He was getting much better, but it took time. He had to thank his three advisors for that. The castle's experienced healer was his physician and confidant, a quick-witted and talented knight had proved his bravery and taken his spot as the kingdom's head of defense, and the tutor who had taught Thomas almost everything he knew as a child became his lead strategist. The three were like family to him, even if their occasional bickering set his nerves on edge. And of course, the constant trouble that seemed to find them. Like now, for example, because King Thomas had just been informed that his Inner Circle had found a body of a young man in the moat of the castle.

I have never been in love, I have never been in lust. And yet these roses, they do not cease to scratch at my throat. What a sad fate for a sad idiot like me.

"Give me ten days, and I can give you ten reasons not to die." Evan paused. "And if I can't change your mind by then, you can go jump off that cliff."

A new apartment, a new start... and things can never be simple, can they? Roman, Patton, Logan, and Virgil just want to live their lives with their powers and each other, but having powers just makes things more complicated than they need to be.

It didn't take more than a few months before they all realize they've been hiding a secret from one another... they each have a special ability. Now they're just trying to live their lives day by day as they figure their powers, and each other, out. (Beginning/initial idea inspired by PoPS on yt)

20XX You are arguing with your mother. After, you go to your room, slamming your door. Her yelling continues, but it fades away as you slowly drift off into sleep. You wake up in the morning to find that your mom isn't home. Good. No yelling this morning. You get dressed and gather your things, then head to the door. You barely open the door when you hear a roar. You slam the door shut. What the hell was that? You slowly open the door, and your jaw drops.
