Why this must be read:

Because it will show you why Brigdh is the queen of Tsuzuki/Hisoka. The Tsuzuki/Hisoka section of fandom is filled with a lot of dreck. A lot. Luckily, Brigdh shows us what the pairing can be when used to its full potential.

The story is soft, and it feels like winter, as if fresh snow has quieted everything. However, the feeling is not quite peaceful. The sharp, painful edges that define Hisoka and Tsuzuki as people are still there, which only adds to the delicate beauty of the story.

The darkness outside contrasted just enough with the lights of the diner to make the window work as a mirror; a faint, watercolored one, sure, but it was good enough for Tsuzuki to watch Hisoka. Hisoka was also staring out of the window, though, Tsuzuki supposed, he was probably actually watching the hotel like they were supposed to. It made his reflection look like it was staring at himself, and Tsuzuki felt sneaky for spying on them, but he held himself very still and didn't look away, even though he knew better.
