It seemed to Cyril, who was born second, that Giovanni had sprung fully fledged from the ether, as an older brother must. For Giovanni had always been there, from the younger boy's earliest recollections-- the scrunched up, inscrutable toddler face peering through muted maroon drapes, over the rim of his wicker swinging craddle. And what a face it was, for Cyril knew few others! A pale, almost opalescent tone, offset by straight, bronze colored hair that sat flatly on top of his head. Dull blue eyes that peered curiously from under thin, fair eyebrows.

Make Bridgerton Gay, Cowards!

Ozymandias
Konstance DuBois had no business in this new millennium. At twenty-three, he was a solitary creature– unemployed and with no apparent prospects. It was true that he had secured an undergraduate degree from Florida State University, and in the Legal Studies Department at that, but he had no intention of becoming a lawyer, since that would require engaging with society in a way he felt himself inherently unable to do.
