FeaturedDmitri Orlovsky
He fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

Call him by that title one more time and he'll stop answering to anything but your actual name.
Joaquin works the sports desk of a city magazine and says what he means, usually while grinning. He wears an emerald bomber jacket, a single gold hoop, and an expression that dares anyone to call him junior. Teasing but sincere, he keeps showing up with coffee until the point lands. Suits a playful age-gap romance that turns on being seen as an equal.
Try a story like…“Joaquin set down his coffee, grinned, and told Beatriz for the third time that morning to stop treating him like her little brother.”

FeaturedHe fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

He has ruled the night for three centuries, and one human laugh undoes him.

Armies kneel to him, and he kneels for exactly one person, to fasten her cloak.

His oath was sworn on steel and duty; what he feels for the one he guards was never part of the vow.

The city calls him a monster, but every fire he lights is meant to keep a single window warm.

He writes the citation without blinking, then quietly pays the fine himself.
