    Summary

    Caleb shakes his head and mind free of his wandering thoughts when they border too close on the things outside the tower for the evening. He’s supposed to be skulking around the halls trying to find his lover (despite knowing exactly where he is by now). The suitor he plays would be housed at a manor such as this if the den accepted to foster him as a political representative, or he would have broken through all types of wards to sneak in said manor at Essek’s request. Either way, he would have no business seeking out an elicit courtship at this time of night under any circumstance other than a gentle beckoning in his ear.

    Essek is certainly taking his time to beckon, though.

    It leaves Caleb pacing once again, going back and forth mentally over the thoughts of their future, of the supreme act of creation they mean to do, and much more base and heady means of what that creation requires. Ah, fuck. He’s already half hard.

    Summary

    Fingertips coated in wood-dust, Ryan's thumbs slid uselessly across the glass. He squinted against the burst of pain behind his eyes from the sun's reflective glare, swiping his thumb along the bottom of the screen in the general area his muscle memory dictated would give him what he wished. It took a few tries until the call accepted.

    "Hello?"

    A single ragged sob echoed over the line. 

    It's been months since either of them have seen the entity.

    After a long day, Ryan receives a call.

    Summary

    Under the weight of Naim’s gaze, Ryan was a boundless thing, forever unspooling like silk ribbon into Naim’s waiting arms. That feeling made him soft, made him complacent and docile and all the things he’d tried to lock away many years ago. It made him vulnerable. Ryan pretended not to know that, but he did know. The thing attached to him knew it, too.

    Or: The entity plays with its food. Ryan thinks Naim might hate him.

    Ryan's experience with the entity since the film is mostly Naim's POV.

    Summary

    As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
    My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
    My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

    ***

    maybe they can outrun it, if he just keeps driving
