Whether she wanted to be or not, Phillipa was in Loki’s bed. Strangely, she had never really given it much thought before. All of their time had been spent in her rooms, and her bed. There had been a picture in her mind, however, and this was not quite it.
It was not as large and overstated as the outer room had been. On the other hand, it did hold ( Read more... )

Phil stopped pretending to sleep at one in the morning. Whatever that machine had done to him, whatever the doctor told him, Phil could hardly believe that he had given up so easily. Why had he been begging to die? Was he such a coward ( Read more... )

“Okay, seriously, Domino, little Phil needs an intervention. She has been listening to Emilie Autumn for six hours!”

Stark was late and she was losing patience with all the usual morons who congregated around the bar in the hopes of being pounded. There were only so many beatings a girl ( Read more... )

    This should have been routine, Phil thought to himself. Go see what the fuss was about, calm and silence the locals, apprehend whoever was responsible, and take a few pictures for the archives.
