Written for Lonelyeyes Week Day seven: Reunion | @lonelyeyesweek
Elias had been so terribly smug in the panopticon. “My Institute,” he purred like it was the most obvious solution to the puzzle presented to Martin. My Institute. It had always been the most significant part of him. And he had been too confident to win their bet that Peter wanted, more than anything, to prove him wrong.
Or
Peter dies but he also doesn’t. Elias does not know that.

Lonelyeyes Week Day six: Books | @lonelyeyesweek
Death had been an ever-present companion in Elias’ life, as much as he dreaded to admit the fact. He had lost so many people to the simple spell of time. No matter if they were affiliated with one of the powers, one day death would sweep in and steal them away from the face of the earth.

Lonelyeyes Week Day four: Reincarnation | @lonelyeyesweek
Toying with Peter had to be one of James’ favorite pastimes. Well, technically he was Elias now. Elias Bouchard, Head of the Magnus Institute. And he could not wait to meet Peter Lukas in this new body and make him squirm.
Or
James is Elias now. Peter has to figure that out.

All the empty promises
Written for @lonelyeyesweek
Day 3 - Promise
Peter is not very good at keeping his promises. Elias is not surprised by that. At least usually he is not
Read on AO3
…
Peter Lukas was not a man of his word. Which was quite unfortunate considering how willing he was to agree with anything anyone suggested. Especially things that would quickly get him out of conversations he tended to be unwilling participant of.
Above mentioned ‘anyone’ was mostly his husband. That was given by the fact that only very rarely someone was able to get Peter Lukas to the point of conversation where some kind of promise might had been demanded of him. That might had been due to several factors. No one was brave enough, no one had enough time or they simply knew better.
One would assume that said husband, Elias Bouchard, ought to know better by now as well. After all, it was not the first nor probably the last time he decided to marry Peter Lukas. However, one would have to wrongly assume that Elias had any hopes Peter would be able to uphold his promises in the first place.
Elias Bouchard considered himself a reasonable man and so he knew expecting Peter to do what he was told was quite unreasonable expectations. That did not stop his demands. It was never the point. It was all just a part of their complicated and pointless game of marital life.
...
For example, one early morning Elias awoke just as Peter was trying to disappear unnoticed on another several month journey away from him. And so he would more half asleep murmured than ask:
“Could you take the trash since you’re leaving anyway?”
“Uh-huh,” Peter would just make a sound, annoyed that the darkness of night apparently once again failed to hide his departure. (Probably since nights in London were anything but dark. One of Elias’ favourite parts about the city.)
“And also wash a mug after you use it.”
“Sure, I will,” Peter would not, promising to do just that.
To the surprise of no one, when Elias woke up properly none of the tasks had been performed. He nodded and started filling divorce papers.
...
At some times Elias more wished than actually hoped Peter would by some accident managed to uphold his word:
“Could you return from your voyage till September?” Elias made a request in Peter’s direction mid-January. “I will need you to sign some paperwork.”
“Yes, sure,” his fiancé does not even raise his eyes from almost empty crosswords which he is pretending to solve.
“Won’t you forget?”
“No,” Peter hesitantly writes one lonely letter in one of many free boxes, trying his luck. “Of course, I won’t.”
It would be a really quite unfortunate situation, if Elias could not forge Peter’s signature so well.
...
Other times, Peter’s failure to do what he is requested to, was quite embarrassing for both of them.
“Peter, and I am serious this time, you have to be present at your own wedding. So don’t forget!” Elias asked with a serious voice as he finished examining their suits.
“I would never!” Peter answered in the same dead serious tone and it did not feel honest at all. And so Elias turned to his fiancé and grabbed his chin, forcing him to actually look at him and pay attention. Peter looked like fish freshly pulled out of water.
“Promise me that you will be there!”
“Sure I promise,” Peter nodded much less certainly, somehow still managing to avoid eye contact even in such a close proximity.
Elias released him and gave him a pat to his chest. “Good.”
Of course, Peter failed to show up. What a luck that Elias did not give him the real date. He liked to test him once in a while.
...
However, Elias was sure that there are situations where Peter could not be so stubborn would see the benefit of upholding his word. To be exact it was exactly one. He could not be that determined to ignore what is asked of him for once. As much as Elias did not believe in the competence of his occasional husband, there must exist at least one specific scenario when Peter would do what he is made to promise.
“And if he doesn’t kill you I will throw him in the Lonely?" Peter asked as if he was still considering saying no. He never could say no to a bet.
“And keep the way open so Jon can follow him, yes." Elias nodded.
"Easy enough..." he said smiling. He is not smiling anymore when they are in panopticon and all things went exactly as Elias has predicted.
“Don’t die there on my behalf," Elias grins when Peter decides to follow Martin, ready to stand in the way of his Archivist.
“Oh, I can promise you that one for sure.”
Peter Lukas was not a man of his word. And he was very determined in proving that to Elias. How could he not use that incredibly rare occasion when his husband did actually trust him to do something and not fail him?
Elias Bouchard is standing in the Panopticon, his gaze aimed at the impenetrable wall of the Forsaken, trying to track the presence of three people. He cannot See anything but he Knows they are there. And then two of them get out. And one does not.
He is probably sulking… He probably just retreated deeper into the Lonely… are thoughts Elias might be tempted to have if he did not know… Know better. There is no point to continue waiting.
“Liar,” he sighs to no one in particular as his company was only his former body he left there about one hundred and fifty years ago.
He is really starting to think that Peter is not just incompetent but he is not listening to him just to spite him…
Well, too late to ask now.

“I will be the first to succeed at a ritual,” Elias had told him once, when he was still James. Peter had scoffed. “Do you want to bet on it?” Elias had offered, and Peter readily accepted.
Or

Myths of Gods (and their Godly bickering)
Written for @lonelyeyesweek
Day 2 - Mythology
There are many great myths and legends about Gods and their Godly deeds. But days of Gods cannot always be filled just with battle of wits and armies. Sometimes they are filled with petty little arguments.
Read on AO3
…
Gods are quite peculiar creatures. Born just from one’s belief. So powerful, greater than life, yet dependent on silly mortals and their prayers and faith. Luckily humans just love believing in stories and so for now there is no reason to worry about their Godly existence. Well at least the better-known Gods do not have to worry. There are also many of smaller ones, less important, those that will get forgotten almost as soon as they are born, worshiped by one village, one long winter from getting forgotten by their believers…
But no need to worry about them. They are not important to be given a proper legend. No, those are saved for the important Gods. Gods of Flame and Destruction, Gods of Deception and Insanity, Gods of the Death and End, Gods of Vast Skies and Space, Gods of Disease and Rott, Gods of War and Killing and so many and many more playing the starring roles in great number of ballads and dramas and songs and epic poems.
But God cannot always be in some great battle or planning some genius scheme or either helping or torturing mortals… So there of course are theories and stories of how their free time looks as well. And as it was established before… If enough people believe it, it must manifest into truth…
“Jonah!” God of Loneliness angrily enters the shrine of God of Knowledge. It is a glamorous and spectacular building filled with books and priceless artifacts and of course decorated by the characteristic All-Seeing eyes – it is said that the God of Knowledge can see from them everything that is happening anywhere in the world. Not exactly a place where the God of Forgotten would feel the most comfortable. Alas for once he is annoyed enough to ignore the uncomfortable stares from all sides.
“Yes, that happens to be one of my names. Is there any particular reason why you come here screaming it, Peter?” addressed God puts down his Quill and raises his sight of the manuscript as if he only now noticed his Guest and was not curiously watching him for the entirety of his way here.
“You know very well why I am here!” Peter folds hands on his torso, a gesture that is a bit ruined by his toga sliding off his shoulder. It is quite simple, dark blue with a silver rim yet Peter still struggles with how to fold it around himself properly. Jonah is dressed in much more complex and fancier toga in bright green colour decorated with intricate golden hem which he manages to wear in much more noble fashion. However, it is not exactly clothing either of them would choose, unfortunately people and their drawings were quite clear regarding Godly dress code.
“Do I?” the God of Watching asks with theatrically overdone surprise. His uninvited guest does not seem to be amused. And well, to say Jonah knows why exactly he is here would be a bit of overstatement. His state of knowledge to this particular subject is more like strong suspicion than certainty.
To make it clear, what exactly their titles of Godhood actually are, one must understand that even though there are some universally known and accepted Gods, people do not always agree exactly what their area of power exactly is. They are understood and worshiped the same way in different parts of the world, often even bearing different names.
For example Jonah is God of Knowledge, of Watching, of Seekers of the truth and of Innovations and Discoveries, and also of Perception and Sight and sometimes even Towers and many other things as it tends to be with Gods. Because if you need help with something and you are not currently keen to create a new God you can always just decide that it belongs in a jurisdiction of an already existing one. So of course, Peter’s list of things he was supposed to be God of is not any shorter. From the main ones he is God of Loneliness, of Forgotten, of Solitude and among many other things sometimes also God of Fog or even God of Sea Voyages.
“So, are you going to elaborate?” Jonah tries to prompt his conversational partner after the silence starts getting way too long. It is not as if he had no idea what could cause all this fuss. On the contrary. There are way too many things he is aware that he has done that could upset the other God and he would hate to accidentally confess doing something Peter was not aware of yet.
“You stole one of my priests,” God of Loneliness finally speaks his accusation and… is that really all? Jonah honestly did not even think he would notice. Besides, his accusations are not even technically true…
“Priests-to-be! He was not even your follower for that long. And people change who they worship all the time. You know how fickle they tend to be… So, really no big deal I would say.” He should have known it would be something like this.
“I was quite fond of him…”
For how long they know each other, the God of Loneliness never stops surprising him as he never cares about things Jonah would expect him to and makes scenes about little things like these.
“There are plenty of lonely boys around. You will find a different one,” God of Knowledge waves his hand as if it is not worthy talking about any longer because it indeed is not. The other God, as always, does not share his opinion. He frowns, calculating look in his cold eyes. He leans closer to him.
“Ah, yes, I’ve noticed scholars tend to be quite solitary, maybe I should steal one of your precious followers in return.”
“Oh, go ahead and try it! You stand no chance. Their loneliness comes from their dedication to studying and learning. You can offer them only the exact opposite of what they want…” Jonah leans to him as well.
“Are you daring me? You know I would never refuse such a bet.” A spark flickers in Peter’s eyes and Jonah immediately regrets his words. He loves a good wager, but he also does not like to play a game of chance. Statistically speaking it would be foolish to fully trust in the full commitment of all his worshippers.
“Do what you want I will not play with lives of those devoted to me…” he tries to play it safe. And also a bit of a change topic seems like a good idea, now where were they- “Nevertheless, your favourite little priest-to-be would never commit to you anyway. If it was not me, I have from… hm… reliable sources that Anabelle had her eyes on him.”
This seems to indeed catch Peter’s attention. Unfortunately he immediately follows it with: “One more reason why you should have included yourself into it, you seem to already have enough disagreements with her.”
Yes, Jonah ironically has not the best relationship with the Goddess of Relationships. She was also Goddess of Connections, of Manipulation, of Spiders et cetera et cetera, as she was getting too close to his territories being also the Goddess of Secrets. And what else is a secret than a valuable information, a knowledge, that should be his area of and not hers! He would never tell her that openly of course. But he might be a bit daring and he already stole one of her priests before. But it is not like she was not meddling with some priestesses of his before so it seemed only fair…
“Thank you for your concerns but I have everything under control.”
“Do you now?”
“Yes. Yes, I do,” he tells Peter much more certainty with himself than he feels like. He knows, of course that he Knows, that he has been testing her patience a bit too much lately. Peter’s remark is the proof of that. His action must appear to be really bold when, even someone oblivious as he is, notices them. It is only natural that some Gods were getting along better than others but most of them are quite competitive and hostile towards each other. And as much as it is a normal state of affairs among Gods, the God of Forgotten for once does have a point. The enemies of the God of Knowledge seem to be unfortunately growing and so it might not be wise to boldly laugh at the one of the few allies he still does have…
“Anyhow, enough about Anabelle. Shouldn’t we move back to the topic of your gracious visit?”
“Yes. I want my priest back.”
Jonah takes a deep breath. Peter, like a spinning wheel, repeats over and over the same line. As if he did not know as well that they do not tend to directly affect the life of humans… it is mostly just suggestions and gentle nudges… he cannot just appear to his priest and tell him how whiny is the God he was considering dedicating his life before him and whether would be so kind and convert because he is tired of listening to that.
“You know that is not how it works. He made his decision-“
“I don’t care.”
Ah, this will be a long debate. Is the fragile allyship really worthy?
“Alright, alright… I am certain we can come to some agreement.”
“I am not interested.”
“First hear my offer then refuse!” he puts on his charming smile. Luckily, he Knows God of Loneliness to his dismay quite well. “Of course, I would not dare to strike any deal without offering you a glass of ambrosia.” That indeed peaks Peter’s interest. He seems to be contemplating it for a while but then he resigns.
“Just make it short… Also, do you have any place here without all those eyes?”
“You’ve been in my shrine plenty of times, Peter, you know very well then I do not.”
They have quite an interesting relationship – the God of Knowledge and the God of Forgotten. Or at least so people seem to believe. They seem like opposing powers yet somehow they get along – as much as Gods are able to get along. Of course, in some parts people believe that they despise each other and that sometimes really is the case. In other parts some worshippers believe that they are lovers. Some branches of their worshippers might even go as far as to claim they married. It makes a lovely story of opposites that attract and such. Those naïve enough trying to find some consistency in both of the ideas might even decide both claims might be true and they get a divorce from time to time. Afterall what would be any good religion without at least a tiny bit of drama?
