Summary
Nicaise was just like him. Too young for this court, too smart for his situation, and far too entangled to ever get out.
Six months before Damianos arrives at the Veretian court, Prince Laurent is just trying to survive until his ascension to the throne. But there's another boy at court as well, and Laurent sees far too much of his past, and himself, in Nicaise.

Summary
"Oh, pretty boy." She crooned and Matthew melted, his mind dissolving under her burning gaze. No - their gazes. Even through the fog, he knew Dorothy was watching, observing. He tensed for a second, worried that she would disapprove of this - of his submission to another - but, as if she could hear his thoughts, Dorothy's voice suddenly echoed through the quiet room.
"Go on, Matthew. Serve."
Matthew and Dorothy pay a visit to Matthew's newest "lover". They do say teamwork makes the dream work, and Matthew has had MANY dreams…

Summary
It was infuriating. He'd noticed Shardlake's good looks of course, had taken a liking to his bright eyes and quiet dignity. But never in living memory had an image so simple driven him so wild. He couldn't tear his eyes from Shardlake's long fingers, peeling the fruit with a deftness that made Jack fucking jealous.
Jack Barak has a new boss. At least, temporarily, while they solve this whole Dark Fire business. He can cope with that. But did Matthew Shardlake really have to be quite so attractive, and did he have to eat that orange in such a fucking hot way?!

"Do you think I could beat the Captain in a fight?"

I was given a prompt and I decided to act on it: Miranda screws up and Andrea wears a revenge dress.
Of course, nothing is ever really that simple, so I threw something together that suits me. It's a two part little fic.

Summary
Regulus has it all figured out. He keeps men on a rotating roster so none can get too close, works nights as a dancer to make the most of his chronic insomnia, and pushes everything he doesn’t want to remember about the past ten years into the recesses of his mind. It’s easier to pretend none of it ever happened.
But when James Potter crashes into Regulus’ life with his fancy sports car, wealth beyond measure, and devil’s smile, it marks a switch in the natural order of things. James is a client; Regulus isn’t allowed to fall in love with him. Except James is the first man in a long time who can see past Regulus’ carefully constructed façade, and who could ever resist the temptation of being known?
Or, this is a story about identity, addiction, self-expression, and love in all of the varying shapes they can take.
