    Summary

    "No," he repeated impatiently. "I'm not a cop. I'm someone who wants to exchange my money for your sexual services. I was told you were in that line of work."

    "I, uh, yeah, sorry," Stiles said. He glanced around again and then up--the full moon was almost directly overhead. Just one of those nights, maybe. "Yeah, I am. I do that."

    Summary




    “Beacon County Sheriff's Department, this is deputy Mahealani speaking.”

    “Oh thank god!”

    “Stiles?”

    “I, uh, I need some advice.”

    “Advice?”

    “Yeah. So, hypothetically, say you met your boyfriend’s mother and sister for the first time ever. Completely by accident. In the grocery store. And they convinced you to help them make a dinner to surprise aforementioned boyfriend when he got home after work. What would you do?”

    Danny paused, and then, “Stiles, you don’t have a boyfriend.”

    “That’s not the point! And I said hypothetically.”

    “Stiles...what are you doing right now?”

     

    ***

    Stiles never imagined he’d be in Derek’s kitchen cooking a surprise dinner with Derek’s family while they waited for Derek to get home from work.

    Partly because their visit was a complete surprise.

    But mostly because Stiles didn’t have a boyfriend.

    Or even know who Derek was.

    But he’d already come this far and Papa didn’t raise no quitter!

    Summary

    The Tokyo Olympics are over. Nick has left France for the UK, where he will rejoin the British gymnastics team in his pursuit of the 2024 Olympics. Charlie is well on the road to recovery from the ill-timed knee injury that dashed his 2020 Olympic hopes, and is now once again training alongside his best friend. Oh, and they're boyfriends now!

    Nick and Charlie may finally be ready to be together, but is the rest of the gymnastics world? Can they have their happily-ever-after and make their Olympic dreams come true, or will they have to choose?

    This fic will make no sense unless you've read part 1!

    Summary

    There's something to be said for those moments in-between missions, the ones where you manage to hold off on worrying about the tadpoles in your brain. The brief instances of levity in which you can afford to appreciate the beauty hidden in this strange, precarious new world you find yourself navigating.

    The moments where rubies sparkle in a new light behind a curtain of long lashes, the mischievous, twinkling stars casting a blue glow glossing off silvery hair. Pretty things seem suddenly far too intent to watch your mouth run away from you, especially where a particular traveling companion who you just can't seem to stay away from is concerned.

    Can you merely be Astarion's mirror in all this? Can your honeyed words break through his bitter smiles? Or have your compliments doomed you both from the moment they left your lips?

    Summary

    “Oh, gods forbid they respond positively to you doing a good thing,” Neve deadpans. She squeezes him a little again. “That’s sort of how it works, Astarion.”

    She can’t even see it. Believes the best of them all so earnestly, himself included, that she can’t see how it would all fall away without her at the center. It’s enough to make a person feel like they might actually deserve it.

    “And by it, you mean…?” he asks instead.

    Her huffed laugh of disbelief ruffles the hair at his neck. “Friendship, you idiot,” she answers. “And the general acquisition thereof.”

    Astarion cuts a sideways look at her as best he can with her still nestled so close. “And is that what we are? Friends?”

    He’d meant it to tease her, and yet finds that the silence before her answer twists his stomach. Because…he doesn’t actually know, either.

    “Yes, Astarion,” Neve says gently, after a moment. “I think we’re very good friends.”

    -

    Neve and Astarion, continued. She's not a victim. Not a target. Not just one night it's better to forget. But then...whatever in the world could she be?
