Summary
It was still quite warm, but he knew he would need to make a decision soon – pour more hot water into the bathtub or get out and change locations. Both meant having to move, which he was wildly opposed to.
At the very least, one of them involved a bed.
Out of nowhere, he felt the press of Baptiste’s lips against his bare shoulder. A soft chuckle rumbled in his chest and he turned towards the big man, pressing his temple to his forehead.
Aaron and Baptiste share a bath and make the most of it.
That is, until their cat decides they've had enough.

SPOILERS FOR "EMPIRE OF THE DAMNED" (but no spoilers for "Empire of the Dawn")
The daysdeath is over.
It's been over for many years now. Nature has bloomed once more. People have rebuilt their lives and moved on.
Baptiste tries.
He can't.
‘I promise to come back and tell you everything I learn.’
His gaze slid downwards, to the lettering engraved by the lion’s feet.
Baptiste’s face fell a little, his gaze growing hollow. ‘See you later, Gabe,’ he murmured, then patted the slab of Gabriel’s grave and walked away to prepare for Dior’s visit. She was a saint after all. It wouldn’t do to invite her into a messy house.

Summary
Time flew as the blackthumb’s mind kept tearing itself between focusing on the finishing touches on the Scar and trying to sense when – and if – Aaron was watching him.
Eventually, he saw that there were no more screws left, the obstacle course all but ready to be used after Argyle’s final inspection.
He suspected he was, from the corner of his eye.
The blackthumb bit his lip, took a deep breath and hauled his shirt off, fighting off a shiver in the cold air. His muscles strained, the chymical globes' light reflecting off of the sheen of sweat on his skin, skipping briskly between the broad planes and sharp divots.
Baptiste's blacksmithing talents haven't gone unnoticed, and they lead him to a task at the Gauntlet - and to the beautiful lad he's fallen for months ago while simply shaking hands.
Oh, what he would give to know how his kisses taste...

SPOILERS FOR "EMPIRE OF THE DAMNED" AND "EMPIRE OF THE DAWN"
Better to live a man than die a monster.
But what if one is both?
No force in Elidaen could stop Gabriel's loyal brothers from accompanying him on his journey towards vengeance, even if it's suicide taken the long way round. Unfortunately, each of the four men finds himself struggling with his demons.
Some of these demons are more dangerous than others, and few know it better than Aaron de Coste. As a coldblood fledgling haunted by sangirè and fear for what he is capable of, he keeps his distance - especially from his beloved Baptiste.
Eventually, however, something has to give. The only question is, will it happen while he's still in control or after he loses himself?
the working title was literally "blood-drinking and cocksucking BARON"

SPOILERS FOR "EMPIRE OF THE DAMNED" (but no spoilers for "Empire of the Dawn")
And with this darkened veil reversed,
By whelming guilt of fallen cursed;
Three nights of boundless crimson thirst,
Shall retrieve the lives dispersed.San Dior has ended daysdeath and all in Elidaen are awaiting the first dawn in nearly 30 years with bated breath. But unbeknownst to most, when the sun finally rises as it used to in days past, it will be over an earth unmarred by the vampiric scourge. Aaron de Coste and Celene Castia can feel the cold fingers of death finally catching up with them.
But like with most curses, there's a prophecy tied to it. A prophecy of hope for the damned and the mortals loving them.

Summary
The Dead offer peace to anyone that can give them Gabriel De León, and someone succeed at capturing him and his companions.
This is set during Empire of the Damned, there should be no important spoiler but it's better if you have read the first two or three sections of that book before reading this.

Summary
From an idea I had while writing down some thoughts about Empire of the Damned: "I feel like Fabien would actually save Gabriel from death just to be able to fight him in person later."

Summary
Eventually, de Coste cleared his throat and stood up, returned the small phial and the pipe to the saddlebags, over-careful. He walked back to the window and with a final glance outside, closed the shutters.
‘It’s been a long day,’ he said. Normally, a dose would have him thrumming with energy begging to be spent, but some nights, all it did for him was soothe his frayed nerves. He blinked, then stifled a yawn. ‘And an even longer fortnight besides. I reckon it’s time to bed down.’
After leaving the Ordo Argent, Aaron and Baptiste look for a place to call their own. After weeks on the road, they end up staying the night at an inn - and as they lay down, they realise it's the very first time they are able to sleep together in one bed.
The revelation comes with a wave of emotions and the two naturally end up celebrating their newfound freedom.
And since it's a night of new beginnings, perhaps Baptiste might get to try something new as well - something that involves his paleblood lover's fangs and his own very willing body...

Summary
‘All that while I laughed in delight, rolling around in that bastard’s filthy bed,’ de Coste hissed, his blue eyes burning. ‘And those that remained, I took out of their cages, not to their salvation but to be slaughtered by monsters. Devils all, such as myself.
'Children, my love, I dragged these sweet, innocent children that looked up to me to their horrible deaths and couldn’t care less. And I did it all with these very hands, no less.
‘So don’t you dare tell me when and if—’
‘That’s enough!’
After the nightmare of Dún Maergenn, Aaron struggles badly with his role in the slaughter of his people. He has taken to matching the heartache with physical pain in order to punish himself. Baptiste has found out and does his best to help him through it but Aaron's despair is deep and nothing seems to change his views.
That is, until the right words come from an unexpected source. It's a long path to healing but perhaps Aaron will finally be able to take that first step.

Summary
He shot bolt upright, a strangled cry tearing from his throat. His chest heaved with his gasps, body covered in a sheen of sweat. His mouth dropped open but all he could manage was a choked wheeze. He stared at his hands in the darkness, tracing the outline of his fingers and seeing little more than the tremble wracking them.
(...)
The blade slashed through the air towards the throat, a feral snarl rippling from his chest as his face twisted with hate and cold fury. And then he froze, the dagger barely an inch from its target. A pair of baby blue eyes watched him, filled with concern, flickering briefly to the blade, betraying only a tinge of bewilderment.
Baptiste wakes up from a truly horrific nightmare and struggles to compose himself. Luckily for him, Aaron is right there with him, ready to comfort him in the blink of an eye.
And what better way to feel alive than fucking the love of your life.
AKA how Book Three of EotD should have ended.
