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

The seminar room fell quiet when the new transfer sat down, and he looked only at the empty seat next to yours.
Fionn arrives for his first week at the university with a tote full of sketchbooks and an apology ready for every row he squeezes past. Freckled, easygoing, a little bashful, he draws strangers in the margins of his notes. Nobody can explain why rooms go quiet when he enters. He keeps his scarf looped loosely, as though ready to leave. Suits a campus romance built on one empty seat.
Try a story like…“Fionn slid into the seminar room late, apologised to the whole row, and took the empty seat beside Maeve.”

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.
