No there is no explanation.]

Looks like you the other day, fuzz and everything.

( his mother and father have eyes. so, when you flirt publicly or meet people at galas they're also attending, they notice, even if they act like they don't, teo. even doctors. yes, they recognize the difference between schmoozing and something else.

and now, he's here. it can't be a coincidence. )

You can tell your little boyfriend he's a bad liar.

@timmyyyy

[holyposition]

[kobes]

[ Definitely not sober: ]

I didn't expect the son of a Salvatore to have such terrible taste.

@timmyyyyy

[holyposition]

Didn't you hear? I'm all but disowned.

You must be Dr. Strange.

@il sangre

[interpersonally]

I wanted you to be the first to know: Koby is no longer welcome in our home.

Let me know if you'd like lunch or an afternoon snack. There's tea and sandwiches by the pool.

@timmyyyyy

[holyposition]

Yeah...I figured.

Is there coffee?

you’ve been awfully quiet
i’m going to start thinking you aren’t having a wild time this summer

@timmyyyyy

[holyposition]

heyyyyy baby j

you'll get your report, don't you worry. I've been busy 😇

@q

[longitudinal]

soooo this friend of yours

do you think i'd scare him away if i asked him over for a real date? would that be weird?

[holyposition]

He likes you. Ask him out! Why would it be weird?

@il sangre

[interpersonally]

Are you still on the grounds?

[holyposition]

Yeah, I'm here. I would have at least said something if I were leaving.

[ He's just...spending his nights at Hawk's. ]

@q - post baptism

[longitudinal]

are you still here?

[ because what is real and what isn't. are his memories just imaginings or are they things made of stuff and stars?

please, please, please be here. ]

i need to know you're okay.

[holyposition]

I'm here. And I'm okay. It's me, the real me.

Why wouldn't I be okay? Are you?

@goodsir | post!everything

[mygoodsir]

Dearest Tim,

I write to you today simply to see how you are faring in readjusting to life as our true selves. I understand that there are many events we have yet to truly 'process' and things that we have not yet discussed.

Please do not think me overbearing, I seek only to ensure that you are well.

Yours,
Harry

[holyposition]

It's not overbearing. You're my boyfriend, you're supposed to check on me :)

I'm adjusting fine. I almost called Stefan 'papa' but other than that, I'm glad to be myself again. You really helped me with that.

What about you?

@goodsir

[mygoodsir]

You spoke to Will, then?

[holyposition]

I did. And it was perfectly civil, you have nothing to worry about.

Hey there, partner.

[post koby's map post, obviously.]

[holyposition]

Hey :)

Give me a minute, I need to talk Koby down

[ Make it several. ]

You got off easy.

@goodsir

[mygoodsir]

Tim,

I apologise for bothering you, but I would deeply appreciate a kind word at the moment.

Thank you.

[holyposition]

You're never bothering me.

Is it about Strange? He's an ass.

post-vampire murder breakup

[kobes]

Bed's made up. Unless you're with Harry.

Or need to smash something first?

[holyposition]

Is there really room for me and Quentin in there?

Harry's still busy, so I don't know yet.

[homosexuals]

Hi.

[holyposition]

[ he considers not answering. but for better or for worse, Tim has never let anything go in his life. ]

What do you want, Hawk?

after the armand stream

[mygoodsir]

Tim,

Where are you? You're not in the tent. Are you safe?

[holyposition]

With Koby. Is that girl okay?

@q

[longitudinal]

You should come to our tent tonight.
Or let me come to yours.
I'll ask nicely!

[holyposition]

I think I can come over. What's the occasion?

@stein

[missed]

Did you see his video?

[ armand's, of course. the live stream. something he's investigating now, but all the same. ]

[holyposition]

Is that a joke?

[ He only had a huge fight with Hawk in the comment section... ]

Are you still awake, Tim?

[holyposition]

I'm awake. Are you feeling alright? Are you seeing something?

a letter | during Tim's sleepytime

[mygoodsir]

Dearest Tim,

It is so strange, to have you here in front of me as I write this. You continue to slumber, with Hawk and I attending to what few needs you have. I can see your beautiful face whenever I like, feel your warm skin, and yet you are absent.

I miss you terribly.

Life in the village continues on; I am still fulfilling my duties although I have been developing worrisome side effects. I am in constant pain unless I am in the company of my own ilk, and I find myself struggling to connect emotionally with people. I enjoy hurting them very much, and although I recognise that this is unseemly behaviour I cannot seem to stop.

I have, however, remained faithful to you. My membrum virile is quite useless without you near. All the ecstasy I have induced in others touches me not at all.

But Tim, my dearest darling, what weighs heavier on me is a growing suspicion that our place here is no safer than our place at the manor. In fact, I suspect that we may be in more danger here. The Oracles speak in riddles but in their prophecies I hear such dire warnings. Twice now I have been reminded of my own death and I cannot help but think this bodes ill for me, and perhaps for us all. I must investigate further, although it may have negative repercussions. In some ways I am glad for your slumber; were you awake your morals might compel you to stop me.

I love you, Tim. If something happens to me before you wake, please know that my devotion to you has never wavered. I live for the day I will see your eyes open once more.

Yours eternally,
Harry Goodsir

@jacaerys

[vermax]

I am sorry that this is what you returned to. Are you alright?

[holyposition]

It's okay. I think on some level, I knew it was coming, even without the Oracle ramblings.

Well.
Nothing about it is okay. But it's happening. It's all we can do to try and persevere.

Hawk says he invited you over. It'll get a little cramped with the four of us. But safety in numbers, right?

[mygoodsir]

I understand if you wish me to stay elsewhere for a time.

[holyposition]

Why would I want that?

@strange

[rehandle]

[ They seem to be on miraculously even ground at the moment, so when it comes time to follow a lead... ]

Hi. Do you have a minute?

[holyposition]

Sure. What is it?
