    Summary

    Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.

    “Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.

    And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.

    Just once. Just a single nod.

    Why did he have to nod?

    “Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”

    “Of course.”

    Of course.

    “Was it better?”

    “Yes.”

    +++

    Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

    Summary

    Troy crouches down, the cold of the ice sinking into his pants as he hovers uselessly above Shane.

    “Shane?” He says quietly, “Shane, can you hear me?”

    There’s a glazed, dazed look to his eyes, unfocused as they dart around, and Troy panics.

    “Ilya!” He shouts at the Alpha. “Shane, Rozanov.”

    Troy knows that Shane is perfectly capable of handling the sexist chirps and overeager body slams, but when the opposition takes it too far, Ilya proves exactly why you don’t mess with his Omega.

    Summary

    Alex is a former child star struggling to make the transition into being seen as a serious actor. He jumps at an opportunity to perform on stage in the UK, seeing it as a way to break free from the typecasting and show what he can really do. But he wasn’t prepared to star alongside someone he hates.
    //
    Henry is a recent theatre graduate who accepts an amazing role in a queer reimagining of Much Ado About Nothing. And then it turns out his co-star is none other than the man he’s been hopelessly pining after for years—even though Henry made a terrible first impression when they met.
    //
    It’s… well, it’s practically Shakespearean.

    Summary

    “Hi Manfred,” Rook says. “Nice to meet you!”
    Rook looks like most people look. She is person-shaped and has a head with hair, but beneath that, she is brimming with curiosity. He feels drawn to her, in the same way he had been drawn to Emmrich once – when Manfred was shiny and small and not yet called Manfred. He has a good feeling about this. It’s new. It's exciting. He already agrees with her.
    Nice to meet you too! he hisses.

    ***

    Short and sweet scenes showing Manfred’s perspective on events of the Veilguard, and on the budding romance between Emmrich and Rook.

    Summary

    “It needs curtains,” Ellana says firmly.

    “Curtains?”

    From his unsteady tone, it isn’t what he expected her to say.

    Ellana nods with purpose. She has had a lot of practice with keeping up a calm, brave face until conditions improve.

    “Curtains. Do you remember when we first got to Skyhold? What a mess it was? There were woodchucks under the foundation, three hundred years of raven droppings in the rotunda, and a spirit of compassion down in the field hospital trying to euthanize our soldiers. But Josephine looked around and said we needed to hang curtains, and by the end of the day, we were measuring for the drapers.”

    Summary

    Giving Grave Gold as a gift was intimate. Something only done by parents, siblings, or spouses. It was very clear in its intention: to place evidence that one was loved both in life and death.

    Or; The Mourn Watch throws a party, Rook is bad at receiving gifts and Emmrich is very fond of adorning his lover in gold.

    “I mean, people know lullabies, I suppose. But that one…it’s not quite Mary Had a Little Nug, is it? It’s…a Nevarran song. For Nevarran babies.”
    “Which mine would have been,” Emmrich whispered. “Had I had them.”

    Emmrich shares secrets; Rook indulges a fantasy.

    Summary

    “Okay, but let me ask you something. What would you do if you were just Henry. Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor of nothing-ville. What would you do?”

    “Go on a date.” Alex scoffs, like that’s a ridiculous choice. Like Henry should have chosen frolicking naked in a field or mouthing off in public. Something that is truly off-limits to someone who doesn’t know how severely limited Henry is when it comes to finding someone to love.

    “Something you can’t already do, Henry. That’s the point of the game.”

    “Go on a date with someone I want to date.” Henry hopes he’s not being too obvious. He probably is. Alex is smart and also bisexual and can likely read between the lines.

    [or: Henry came out to the royal family a year ago and has been under scrutiny ever since. Alex helps him see he deserves better]

    Summary

    Neve couldn’t believe she hadn’t seen it before.

    Lucanis had been watching him. Neve had fretted about the danger of Rook’s risk-taking behavior, but there had never been any danger in the first place, because Lucanis had been ready to catch him the whole time.

    Lucanis was smiling at him - or as close to a smile as he could get.

    Lucanis was fond of him.

    Or: 5 times someone figured out Lucanis’s feelings for Rook, plus 1 time when Rook did.

    Summary

    Henry must be the vampire that just moved in some weeks ago. Nora’s fleeting description of him echoes in Alex’s mind despite his best efforts:

    “Tall, blond, and perpetually in a fancy overcoat. Now that I think about it, he’s coincidentally just your type.”

    She’d had to quickly dodge a spritz of incense Alex had viciously attempted to attack her with.

    Alex brings the knife down against the chopping board, hard. “My type,” he mutters to himself darkly. “As fucking if.”

    Summary

    His head lowers an inch closer to Alex, and his next sentences are said in a lower octave, words coming out slower with a slightly tantalizing drawl. There’s a twinkle in his eyes as he looks down at Alex.

    “You can imagine how dreadfully awful it would be if I allowed it to get drenched in the rain today. That would be terrible, wouldn’t you agree?”

    Alex is confused now. And a bit freaked out.

    He’s…he’s doing the thing.

    He’s using the voice.

    Summary

    “See? I have no fucking filter. That’s exactly what got me into this situation. I guess the whole thing with wanting my mom to know I’m not straight got mixed up with all the frustration." Alex knows he's spiraling, panic rising the more he thinks of the snowballing effect of his lie, of the consequences that will inevitably come to bite him in the ass, but he has no idea how to stop it. "And now I have to come clean and tell her I don’t actually have a boyfriend and also explain why I lied, and if they didn’t think I was a complete mess before, this is gonna confirm it for sure.”

    Henry takes hold of both his hands, fingertips stroking over his pulse points soothingly. “Alex, breathe.” He waits until Alex manages a slow, slightly shaky breath, then opens his mouth and throws him a fucking curveball. “What if you didn’t come clean?”

    ***

    Alex is an expert at making messes, but this time he dug himself into a hole he doesn't know how to get out of, and now his family is expecting him to bring home a boyfriend that - small problem - doesn't exist. Luckily for him, Henry is willing to take the role.

    Summary

    When he opens his eyes he’s no longer in Brooklyn.

    To be fair, that’s the least pressing issue at the moment. Top of that list would be the absolutely excruciating pain in forearm and, oh yeah, the fact that people are shooting at him.

    (Well past the age where most people have swapped bodies with their soulmate, Alex has all but given up on the idea that he might have one. But when he suddenly swaps in the middle of a rooftop chase and finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse, he quickly discovers how far he's willing to go to save his soulmate's life.)

    Summary

    Henry laughs, wiggling his fingers as he reaches for the bottle before taking a sip of his own, “Fine. Never have I ever…been walked in on during sex.”

    Alex shakes his head with a shudder, “I’ve walked in on too many people. Door stays locked.”

    “Wise man.”

    Alex taps his fingers against his chin, pursing his lips. His expression falters for a moment, eyes shooting over to glance at Henry before returning to stare out the window, “Never have I ever…had sex in a treehouse.”

    Neither of them drink.

    “Huh.” Alex says, eyes unreadable, “Do you want to?”

    Henry has made many mistakes in life - most notably allowing Pez to talk him into an ill-advised keg stand that made him vomit all over his shirt - but he can’t bring himself to regret sleeping with Alex Claremont Diaz, campus' most renowned player.

    Until Alex gets it into his head that he wants seconds, and Henry isn’t strong enough to not get feelings, so he does what he does best. He pushes him away.

    But Alex isn’t one to give up easily.

    Summary

    Henry blinked, once as he got what Alex was saying, then again as the utter ridiculousness of it all overtook him. He shifted the phone to his other side so he could perch on the hall windowsill. “Are you trying to tell me you’re high?”

    ”Babe, my hands aren’t mine.”

    Okay, right. Absolutely what Alex was trying to tell him.

    Henry couldn’t fight off the smile that crept onto his face. God, after the nerve-fraying Hell he had been shuffling through since his plane touched down in London three days ago, a call from his high boyfriend was like a drop of sunlight in his hand.

    ——

    Or, Alex gets really, really high, and calls Henry with some revelations. Henry receives them with joy.
