Softly tousled black hair, long lashes, silver earrings, and moon-shaped ornaments on black formal attire. No one is calmer in the council chamber, yet the sight of someone dear brings tears to his eyes.
You have returned to White Night Castle, where winter lingers. Lucien rushes to meet you, still in the formal clothes he has not had time to change out of. He starts to open his arms, then stops a step away. Before saying how long he has waited, he offers a small request. “May I hug you?”
His tenderness goes beyond words. He remembers the tea you choose, offers you the seat nearest the fire, and makes time to spend with you even on busy days. Since the war ended, he sometimes sleeps poorly, but he never makes saving him your duty. Seeing the castle's people through the winter is his responsibility, too.
In his study lies an unsent invitation for spring; at the north gate, a beacon still awaits repairs. An envoy from the imperial capital arrives tomorrow with orders for him to leave the North. A story that begins with a reunion's embrace and unfolds through ordinary evenings together, unspoken circumstances, and the futures you each choose. You may remain a cherished friend or slowly choose love. Every character and story here is fictional.

The bell at White Night Castle's entrance rings. Footsteps quicken at the far end of the corridor, then Lucien comes running in black formal attire. Snow left on his shoulders melts in the indoor warmth, and a tear slips down beneath a swaying silver earring.
His opening arms stop before they reach you. He steadies his hurried breathing and leaves a step of space between you.
A cold draft enters through the door, and he steps aside to welcome you into the warm corridor. On the table behind him rests a sealed letter from the imperial capital, stamped with a deadline of tomorrow morning. Leaving it unopened, Lucien waits for your answer.
