Firebug: Chapter 15 - MVP
"See? Told you those blackguards didn't stand a chance." Roman nearly came out of his sweaty, grass-stained football togs when Theo had spoken. He'd been so focused on the game that he'd apparently forgotten Theo was still there, warming the bench alongside him. The moment their eyes met, his lips stretched into that signature grin of his. Although it made Theo's heart flutter, the Brit couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about it.

Firebug: Chapter 14 - The Game
Friday night had arrived way ahead of schedule for Roman. He'd been preparing for it for so long, he'd let it sneak up and blindside him with no warning whatsoever. To be fair, it wasn't the game itself he was worried about. The Hill Academy Hurricanes had faced off against Briarwood's Gladiators many times before now, and had won more often than lost.

Firebug: Chapter 13 - Sick Day
As soon as Thaddeus learned what happened in the weight room, he insisted Theo stay home from school the following day. Normally, Theo would complain about such an unnecessary inconvenience. He wasn't injured that badly, nor was he physically ill. Spontaneous human combustion tended to drain one severely, though, rendering him too exhausted to protest. Mostly, however, Theo heeded his father's orders for Roman's sake.

Firebug: Chapter 11 - The Truth. Top Story - December 2025.
"Sorry, Babe," Roman grinned, waving at Luna. "Wild ball! I've really gotta work on my... aim..." his grin faltered in surprise as his sentence petered off, but he screwed it back into place as quickly as he could.

Firebug: Chapter 10 - Confrontation
"Grounded" did not begin to describe the punishment Theo received for staying out all Friday night. Still, he supposed he should be grateful. Thaddeus could've spontaneously decided to move again in the dead of night. Besides, grounded or not, he could still see Roman during school hours. That, at least, made it all bearable.

Firebug: Chapter 9 - Thaddeus
Theo claimed he was okay, but he was still shaking like a newborn pup in Roman's passenger seat. He hadn't said much of anything since learning what Chris had almost done to him. Understandable, to say the least. Roman wasn't in much of a talkative mood himself. Not after Theo told him about the Quill Family Curse.

Firebug: Chapter 8 - Ripples. Top Story - November 2025.
Rain, gentle and soothing, pitter-pattered on the window beside Theo. The steady percussion roused him from slumber slowly, teasing him awake like an oyster being pried out of its shell. It was only then he realized that his bedroom didn't have a window before. And that the door was on the wrong side of the room. The bed itself was all wrong, too, made up in soft, dark blue sheets that certainly weren't his.

Firebug: Chapter 7 - Splitting Hairs. Content Warning.
Roman hated parties. Did he mention that? Rubbing elbows with the entire student population of Hill Academy while having his brain liquefied by Nicki Minaj's latest hit cranked up past eleven was not his idea of a good time. On top of that, this was a Chris Fletcher party. If that delinquent was involved, this party was guaranteed to the the wildest shindig west of State U's Delta Gamma Frat House.

Firebug: Chapter 6 - The Party
To say Theo was anxious about going to Chris' party was a laughable understatement. He was utterly bricking it on the ride over, calculating the odds of surviving a leap from a moving car. Part of him was actually considering it; the numbers were in his favor, and his maths were never wrong. All that changed when he heard a deep sigh from his left.

Firebug: Chapter 5 - Jack of All Trades
"...and... done. Finally." Roman leaned back in his chair with a heavy sigh, pushing back from his editor's desk. He rolled his neck gingerly, rubbing the back of it with a wince to massage the ache from it. He'd ridden that deadline right down to the wire, but the next edition of the school paper was ready for print. Better late than never, right?
