Summary
"I'll kill you," he whispers, struggling half-heartedly in his hold. Their mouths keep coming together, his words uttered around their shared breaths. It makes him feel lost and disoriented, disassembled. It's strange how hazy and surreal everything leading up to this moment had felt, but Lalo kisses him now like he's the only real thing left, and the sensation of falling back into his body is dizzying. All of a sudden he can feel the warmth from the fire and the weave of the couch beneath his fingertips, the scratch of stubble. "I'll kill you."
"You won't," Lalo says, lazy and slow and supremely confident, and Nacho hates the way he thinks, spoiled Salamanca brat, with no rancour, hates how he feels himself stir in his pants. Lalo smells of clean cotton and tastes of fresh tomatoes and top-shelf whiskey, smoky like the barrel of a gun in his mouth, and Nacho has missed him like a phantom limb.
But this is, as with everything Salamanca, a power play.
He pushes him away, and Lalo goes, just barely. It makes him feel bereft. "I should kill you for what you did to my father."

Summary
Once, Maximilien Robespierre had been certain that the Revolution must be close to achieving its goals. The ongoing wars, the shifting of the factions and the deluge of plots, lies and false-friends have disabused him of that notion. The time has come to face the hardest choice imaginable and fight within the Convention, the Committee and the Jacobin Club to secure the Republic and its people, and defend his companions, his beloved friend and everything he holds dear.

Summary
Like a blanket of fog, death had always hung over the Revolution and those fighting to establish and uphold the Republic. Now, with the threat of further conspiracies and the forces of counter-revolution beginning to show their hand, Robespierre must choose how to face the encroaching threat. The question more often on his mind, however, is who will be brought down with him.

Summary
Just as in the Convention, the club, so too Saint-Just’s voice suffused every corner of the studio. It curled warm and rich around the whorls of Maxime’s ear and settled in them like deafness. He heard nothing else, attuned to Antoine’s voice as Brount to the whistle.
Covering the period leading to the Fall of the Girondins to shortly after Marat's murder. Robespierre struggles with conflicting desires for peace and rest, while being no less committed to the Revolution. Rated M for the second chapter.

Summary
“Ben, it’s not safe,” he tries at first. “What with all that’s happening, you’d best keep your nose out of any business.”
“I’ve gone to college. They need men like me, and I can help the cause. You’ve heard about the tea movement in Boston this past winter. There’s going to be a push back, a rebellion against the British.” He says the words proudly, but Caleb can only think of what happens to idealistic young men during war.
----------------
(in which Caleb tries to convince Ben to stay, but ends up following him into a war, because that's what you do when you're in love)
