    Summary

    The first time he accepted an escort job, he'd nearly thrown up from the disgust he felt toward himself. But the money he brought home that night paid a month's rent, bought fresh groceries, even schoolbooks Louis needed. The way Louis's face lit up unwrapping those books shattered every last doubt. From that night on, William never saw himself as a victim. He chose this path. He had full control over who touched him, who spent time with him, and who paid dearly for the privilege.

    His gaze could make men falter, his smile could undo them. His body kept strong and pliant with strict care was a tool that always delivered. He knew he was beautiful, and there was nothing wrong with that.

    William wasn't some cheap puppet to be bought. He was always in control, even when he seemed to yield. Strangely, he'd grown comfortable in that role. There was security in the routine. He liked being the center of attention, the living fantasy in someone's eyes. He liked the challenge of reading them, guessing what they wanted before they asked, steering the rhythm until they were hooked. Each meeting was a puzzle, and William had always loved puzzles.

    Summary

    "Nee, Moran-kun," Billy went on, leaning back in his chair. "Ever had a bond like that?"

    The question lingered in the air. Moran raised his glass and drank again. The rich tang clung to his tongue, but it wasn't enough to wash away the irritation prickling at him. The question dragged his mind back to faces of fallen comrades, bonds he'd once thought unshakable but which had all been buried on the battlefield. Compared to William and Sherlock, nothing he'd had could measure up.

    "You've got a real talent for making people think too much."

    Billy smirked. "Maybe. But it's still the truth."

    Moran chose not to answer, but even after a long pause, Billy still seemed to want one. His eyes weren't entirely serious, but not entirely playful either. Moran could feel the way Billy swirled his glass, the patience in his gaze.

    Moran thought it over, weighing whether to lie or deflect. But the alcohol dulled his desire to put up a front, so he settled for something plain.

    Summary

    William took his envelope and Sherlock his after Billy was provided with a cup of tea. Then, slowly, very slowly, he pushed himself off the chair and slid over to William, tactically out of Sherlock's reach.

    "What are you doing?"

    Billy shook his head and gestured at Sherlock, who was reading the letter addressed to him; his ears flushed and the paper crumpled under tense fingers before his eyes fell on the bearer of the news with a murderous expression.

    "What do you mean, my wife?!"

    Summary

    vampire au - Sherlock is determined to confirm that William is a vampire, and William is determined to drag him into a grim plot regarding the Vampiric Noblesse of London society.

    “You’ve regaled me with several incorrect methods to identify a vampire, Mr. Holmes,” William says mildly, adjusting his grip on his cane. He keeps his other hand limp by his side. “An aversion to church, sunlight, and entering homes uninvited rather sounds like the average London man – Do you perhaps have anything verifiable to share? Short of dragging a vampire into the daylight, of course.”

    Holmes grins at the provocation and snaps his fingers. “So glad you asked, Liam. Their fangs, for one,” he taps at his own canine tooth in demonstration. “They’ll protrude if tempted with blood. Though by the time you confirm that, it may already be too late.”

    “Quite,” William replies softly. “I’ll bear that in mind.”

    The dark blue of Holmes’ irises is almost entirely eclipsed by his pupils. The lighting is rather dim in this area of the gallery, lending to a hazy atmosphere around them. “Though I’m sure you already knew that,” he says in an entirely different tone.
