Summary
“So why are we going?” Mattie finally asks.
“The DONI got involved because it was a matter of national security, I guess, and it’s ended up with my name on the Witch Trial Memorial,” he explains. “They asked my permission to do it, and I guess I thought… I don’t know. He deserves it.”
There’s a furrow in his brother’s brow. “He?”
Right. “Alfred Kirkland.”

Summary
“We’re people, that’s great news,” Alfred reiterates, steering the topic back to neutral waters. “I guess let’s rip the bandage off—are we brothers?”
“We’re brothers no matter what,” Matthew quickly reminds him.
Warmth spreads through his chest, but Alfred rolls his eyes, “Are we related?”
A story told in five parts about DNA testing, chosen families, fake birth certificates, group chats, and the slow mending of a centuries-old hurt.

Summary
Canada and Romano, both overshadowed by their much more popular brothers. Both are fine about it, if not a bit lonely.
Canada was used to being ignored. He never even considered someone might know his name. Especially not someone so....reserved.
Just like him.

Summary
Matthew was forgettable. His parents, his 'friends', his brother, they all could try as much as they want but they'd never truly see him. He was doomed to the background.
Except for at the bar.

Loki might be a Prince of Asgard, but that doesn't mean that he's well liked or able to get what he wants easily. Anthony Howardson is a weaponsmith who is incredibly handsome and uninterested in Loki's attempts at friendship. Loki knows he'll never be the one that Anthony wants, but when the opportunity presents itself to solve a problem for Anthony, Loki isn't going to miss the chance to offer a deal. Anthony is well known for taking pleasure in a multitude of lovers; surely Loki can present a solution that is mutually satisfactory? Loki could solve Anthony's problem, and in return, Anthony would spend a night with him. COMPLETE
