so btw, fyi i'm actually a god.
( just dropping that tidbit down like a nuke and walking away nbd. look, his conversation with crowley has been on his mind a lot lately and it's the sort of thing he'd really rather control how it gets out, especially since he actually likes nate and anna.
it's easier to tell nate first, for whatever reason. maybe it's the fact he's so open about his own magic that does it, but. there you have it. )

I wanted to reach out and personally thank you. Jon showed me the document that Dominants had to sign, and I am truly touched so many had. There are not a lot of chances the city gives for a submissive, so I am truly grateful.
I am not sure what I can offer in return except some pieces of lingerie-- but that seems to pale in comparison. If there is some way I can ever repay such a gesture, please let me know.

I don't know if you remember me, but you gave me a wonderful massage~ I would like to commission something from you if you're up to using your magic? Name your payment and I'll see you compensated and then some.
I am called Anders and I apologize for the abrupt contact, but I saw Miss Vanessa's post just under a week back and noticed your conversation with her. You mentioned you had some skill with wards and I was wondering if you might be willing to aid me in a project I'm finishing up. I'd, of course be willing to compensate you or offer my skills in return should you ever need them.
[Stephen tries not to pace around as he listens to the phone ring. He'd thought about texting but this seems like one of those things that absolutely warrants a phone call.
As soon as he hears the other end pick up he says:]
Cesare's gone. I don't know what to do.

[ It takes a minute. He's in the theatre, trying to coax his magic to do what it's meant to do, as opposed to everything else it wants to do.
He's also quite fucking thrilled by everything it wants to do.
At any rate, he doesn't hear the phone because of the chorus of songbirds rushing around his head. Then he sees it, frowns, and waves them off like flies. ]
Get out, you melts, that might be -
[ Important, he was going to say. But then he hears the ringtone. ]
Stephen.
[ They don't often call each other. Stephen snatches up the phone, and then... ]
What? As in...gone, gone? Like Anna?
Where are you?

You gave me the best present, you know. I should blow you in gratitude.
Let's get to know one another better.

[continued from here]
Stephen takes his time getting home. He knows what is waiting for him there and he is not particularly eager to engage. But he will have to go home eventually, so there's no sense in trying to put it off more than he already has.
He's already lied about being in the archives, after all.
He doesn't actually announce his presence when he gets home, but he is certain that Nate will be waiting.

Nate is, indeed, waiting. He stands up and looks around when he hears the door open, and his jaw sets with some concern. He's enjoying basically none of this, but he's not willing to leave it.
Nodding, he moves back to sit on the couch.

[Nate has a package delivered to him during the first week of November. Inside the package are two empty journals, a small ball of plant-like material, and a set of five potions that swirl in their flasks with a dark green, slightly iridescent, color. There's a note that accompanies it:]
It's Satinalia back home, a time that, traditionally, sees presents delivered to friends and family. I hope you can make use of the journals for your own spell crafting or for making copies of what you have or any other use you may have for them. The potions are made from a non-native plant I've called 'Fadestalk' it replenishes magical energy.
Two warnings for it: the plant is bitter and I've done what I can, but it's still not the most pleasant thing to drink. The other is that the city altered it when they returned the seeds to me, it will create a flushed and warm feeling after drinking, but the feeling passes after a few minutes.
-Anders
[The plant ball comes with it's own instructions: tap the ball, then toss into the air.
When Nate does this, the ball catches and hangs in mid-air, then unfurls into a full flower, the center of which glows with a warm light.]

anything i can do to help whatever's going on?
[ Nate's not had his device for three days. It means he doesn't see Adam's earlier messages until after he gets this one, and... ]
you already helped me
you heard me. you talked to me, adam
you were there. and i'll never forget it.
i'm so sorry, i didn't see your messages until now
is it noah does he need help
i can cast another circle for him if he wants?

﹙ he teleports in buck-ass naked at whatever hour of the day because he's pissed as hell, and this is absolutely him rummaging around in nate's closet for a pair of pants that are inevitably going to stop at the ankles because he's got some fucking decorum, okay! something!
a holler: ﹚
Is everything you own fucking black?! Jesus Christ, Nate, all I'm asking for is three shades towards blue, or green, fucking something!
﹙ where's nate? who knows. stephen??? presumably also who knows. were y'all sleeping? too bad. ﹚

[ Nate doesn't wake up until the yell, and then he jumps about three feet out of bed. Thanks to that, he's also naked. He grabs the pants Stephen had pulled off him earlier and quickly puts them on, one-handed. The other hand lifts to make a light appear. ]
Cy? What the fuck time is it?
[ Then he registers Cy's general...self, and glances at the wardrobe. ]
There might be some frayed camo in the back, I dunno. What's going on?

Do you want to know what happens to me? What might or might not happen to Jason Todd?
[It's some time much later when he calls Nate. After all, he has a feeling he's overstepped a boundary and that requires him to say something.]
Nate, it seems I've wronged you. It's hardly the first time I've wronged one that I love but alas I had no desire to wound you. Will you let me make things up to you?
You can name your price. I will pay it.

[ It's well that it's later, because at the time, Nate wouldn't have taken the call. He considers leaving it now, and then answers right before it rings off. ]
I don't want anything.
[ For about a second, it seems like that's all he'll say. Then: ]
I let you when I hadn't let anyone, Lestat. It was supposed to matter. But it didn't to you, cause you just...threw it out there, like it was nothing.

I want to suggest something to you because I have an idea for you and the theatre that I was kind of working on last night.

hey. you still up?
[ He assumes so much. Magnus has never known a magic user that keeps normal hours. ]
Not a booty call. Sorry to disappoint with my word choice.

Nate. I know you're busy, but I've got a commission if your pile's not too full up yet.
Maybe two.

A piece of parchment is left on Nate's work table with a small drawing on it that resembles a key with a red bow atop it.
There's a folded sheet of paper on top of it with a note in Caleb's careful script.

[ Nate goes to find him as soon as he sees it. He takes hold of his wrist, not explaining yet, and pulls him into the back.
He looks up, eyes wider than usual, and for once, lost for words. There's a sudden flash of a smile, and then: ]
Caleb. This symbol...
[ He holds it up. He's still holding the letter. ]
You made this for me. I don't even know what to say, it's...
Fuck, thank you.
