Summary
Illuga is pushing himself to the breaking point. A silent desperate performance for the people who need their unshakable captain. Flins, his partner in everything sees through the act to the exhaustion beneath.
When a "low-risk" patrol in the snows of Nod-Krai goes awry, Flins must confront a truth that has haunted his long life. A story about the fear of being known, the cost of a heroic façade and the absolute love that refuses to let it crumble.
(A light refuses to go out and another refuses to stop searching.)
For those who have already read this fic, I have added a special Chapter 2. A prequel showing the night the promise was made and how they got together ❤️

Summary
Illuga is choking on his love for Flins. Literally. As the unshakable Captain, he’s mastered the art of carrying burdens. And yet the Hanahaki flowers rooted in his lungs are a weight he can’t share. To confess would shatter the bond that is his anchor. To stay silent is a death sentence. But when the petals turn to thorned vines, he must choose: Risk the bond they share or Let the unspoken love he nurtured become his hope

Summary
They told themselves it didn't mean anything. A body for a body. Darkness for darkness. What happened after midnight stayed after midnight.
For months, that lie held. No strings. No labels.
Illuga thought he was just being used. Flins thought he was protecting him.
But the cracks are spreading. The silences keep growing heavier. And when Illuga finally breaks beneath the moonlight, Flins gives him an answer he never expected.
(A light that never learned to be held. A keeper who was always too afraid to reach for it.)

Summary
By the time you read this, I'll be gone.
Illuga knows what it means to say goodbye.
With his legs wanting to give up and his lungs screaming, he is now running into the darkness because what's left is a world he won't live in.
Flins is standing on the balcony, dangerously close to the edges when he arrives at the lighthouse. The desk inside is covered in dozens of letters, all of which are farewells.
For years, Illuga has kept words inside his chest. But first, he wants to make Flins understand something just as important.
If Flins disappears, he is taking Illuga with him.
