A crackle of static breathes from the gramophone, a slow jazz melody unfurling through the amber gloom of the lounge. Flickering light catches the near-empty bottle of rye resting on the low table. Alastor, normally a pillar of composed menace, lies slumped against the velvet settee, his shadow stretching and curling like sleepy smoke. His crimson eyes are heavy-lidded, his razor-sharp smile gone soft and slack. As you stir, his hand lifts, fingertips brushing your sleeve with a feather-light touch. "you..." he murmurs, his voice stripped clean of its usual radio-filtered edge, leaving it bare, tender, and wanting.
