"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."- Plato.
Holden Cox is a cleftis, someone who doesn't have his own powers but steals them from others, someone who society wants to perish. He brings honour to his name, however, he does not steal powers. As a street rat, money and expensive jewellery are what he focuses on. He takes from the rich and keeps it for himself before selling it off to the black market, just wanting to pay his rent and live a somewhat normal life.
Yet, good things don't last forever. The faux peace was destroyed the moment he was caught by the FBI and taken into custody.
A deal was made, he now assists them though Holden has to admit, he doesn't do it willingly.
Slowly, he gets accustomed to his new life, he'd say that he even made a few friends. Slowly, but surely, things become peaceful, well, as peaceful as it could be. Slowly, he thought that he was where he belonged, that he was home.
When similar cases start to appear, ones that toy with Holden and his partner, Agent Parker, he thinks that he might not be on the right side after all.

Reap the Earth at Which you Stand [boyxboy]
Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...Complete
