Dojima-Montague Apartment, Tokyo, Tuesday
Romeo hadn’t checked his email in a few days. No particular reason; he just hadn’t felt like it, so he didn’t.
He started feeling guilty about that approximately three lines into Ino’s email. A world full of fire and ash.... It was how he pictured Hell ( Read more... ) -
The Beach, Friday Mid-Morning
The water was colder than it ever was in Verona, but there was still an ocean in Fandom and it felt right for Romeo and Mercutio to end up beside it. If Romeo squinted just right, he could almost pretend he was back in Verona and 16 again, enjoying the last simple days he'd ever know ( Read more... ) -
Dojima-Montague Apartment, Wednesday
It wasn't new for Romeo to dream about Mercutio. He'd been having the dreams a few times a month for three years now, and they were always worse in July.

Dojima-Montague Apartment, Tokyo, Wednesday Morning
Romeo's nineteenth birthday started with a package from his father containing a collection of Lord Byron's works, a dagger that was about twice as elaborate as anything Romeo had any business carrying, and a letter that suggested -- in a polite, backhanded, and elaborate way -- that Romeo was missed and should make it his business to visit Verona ( Read more... ) -
Montague-Dojima Apartment, Tokyo, Tuesday Daytime
Romeo's college required he take a business ethics course. It wasn't such a bad idea, really. In Verona, showing up with a few bodyguards and asking pointed questions about how attached a rival was to his cars was considered a reasonable opening salvo. He flipped through the text with a highlighter in hand, occasionally shooting worried glances at ( Read more... ) -
Dojima-Montague Apartment, Tokyo, Monday Afternoon
Romeo wasn't a girl anymore, and Monday meant that Yurika's need to at least put in a guest appearance at her office put an end to their Romeo-isn't-a-girl-anymore celebrations ( Read more... ) -
