    Summary

    Stopping to help a bird was stupid. Birds died every day, every hour, every time one of them flew their stupid delicate bodies into something.

    It wasn’t Jason’s job to help a bird, especially when he could barely help himself.

    But he stopped to help anyways.

    Summary

    “You have sex with half the people you meet! Why would doing it with me make any difference?”

    “Because we’re friends, Geralt! I know you like to deny it, but I promise you that we are friends.”

    “According to you, you have sex with your friends all the time. I didn’t ask you, you just volunteered that information.”

    “Ok, right, well, yes. Alright - I do have friends I can just sleep with, and not change anything. That’s true. But you aren’t one of them.”

    “Why I aren’t I one of them?”

    “You just aren’t, alright?”

    “That’s not an answer. Why. Aren’t. I. One of them?”

    “Because if I slept with you, then - ” he looked away from Geralt and blinked fast, several times. When he turned back again, there was a clear challenge in his eyes. “If I slept with you, then I’d probably end up falling in love with you, which is the last thing you want. No don’t deny it – even admitting we’re friends is too much commitment for you. You definitely don’t want me to be in love with you. If you think I’m too much now, just wait and see what I’d be like then!

    Summary

    Jayce's hand is hot and heavy as it folds over Viktor's spine, and Viktor can't explain why he immediately breaks into goosebumps when it squeezes there, firmly, like a claim. Can't explain why he tilts his head back, why a small wounded sound wants to escape from behind his lips.

    Oh. Oh no.

    Yes, Viktor will always crave things he cannot have, and by some cruel twist, the latest unattainable thing is Jayce.

    Summary

    How do you live when you have nothing to lose and all the time in the world?

    For Booker, the answer is simple: you live out of spite.

    In which an empire rises, old habits are unlearned, and forgiveness is a two-way street.
