Summary
Beta male Theo Norcott had fought tooth and nail to prove himself in the ruthless world of corporate finance, only to be overshadowed by Nicholas Hale, the company’s most infuriatingly confident Alpha executive who just bagged the promotion Theo had dreamed about. Their rivalry is legendary, Theo convinced the Alpha teased him simply due to genetics.
When a major client pitch forces them to work together, old wounds reopen, the balance between them shifts. Suddenly, every late meeting, every elevator ride, every stolen moment crackles with tension. Nicholas isn’t just watching him — he’s hunting him, testing the edges of Theo’s resistance with a patience that feels as dangerous as it is magnetic.
Theo tells himself he can hold his ground. That his sharp words and stubborn defiance will keep Nicholas at arm’s length. Yet the more they clash, the clearer it becomes: Nicholas doesn’t want obedience. He wants him. Every part of him.
Yet Alphas are never interested in Betas, right? It’s always the Omegas. But it seems that Nicholas never got that particular memo. And the most dangerous part?
Theo isn’t sure how much longer he wants to fight.

Summary
Vale, youngest Fae Prince of the Night Court, has been captured and taken prisoner by the King of the Summer Court. Both Courts have been at war with each other since the very beginning of their people's history and there is no doubt in Vale's mind that he is about to be publicly executed as punishment for past transgressions.
But it doesn't happen. Instead, he finds himself as a War Prize to the King himself, the King who seems to covet Vale to the point of obsession.
To be put on his knees at his new Master's pleasure, forever.

Summary
“Cede the city to us. Tell your people to stop fighting, and we will spare you.”
Vimes considers it. It would probably be the diplomatic thing to do.
But the blood has reached his knees now, and it is still warm, and he never was much of a diplomat.
“Go to hell.”
The city is under seige, and Vetinari and Vimes face the end of something that never really started.
I don't think I can emphasise enough to read the tags; this does not have a happy ending.

Summary
After his relationship with Vetinari ends and his marriage starts to implode, Sam Vimes finds old habits coming back to bite him hard. Meanwhile, a boy has been murdered, the guilds are out for blood and someone is trying to kill Vetinari. Again.
Vimes and Vetinari have to decide what’s really important, and how much they’re willing to risk for it.
The Balancing Act series finale - this won’t make much sense if you haven’t read Balancing Act and My Friends and Smiling Enemies, at the least.
Please read the tags; starts dark, but the advantage to hitting rock bottom is that afterwards, the only way is up...
M rating is for mature themes and some fade-to-black smut in one chapter.Series

Summary
Captain Sam Vimes is getting married...until he isn't.
Vetinari vaguely alludes to Having Feelings, and Vimes self destructs.
Spoilers for Men at Arms, although it diverges somewhere in the middle; this is essentially an exploration of what might happen if Vetinari realised he had feelings for Vimes in the run up to the wedding. There's angst, and Vimes whump, and miscommunication, and probably a million other tropes.
