“You!” sneered Legolas. “Were you not the one shouting ‘Never trust an Elf!’ at the late parley? And yet you choose to show yourself in my tent upon such an errand?”“Aye,” the Dwarf answered with a cold look, “For I will send none of my folk in my place, nor ask them to do what I would not submit to.”

“You’re going to make me say it, aren’t you?”
“Yes,” Legolas says, barely more than a whisper. “I need to hear you say it.”
For a moment, he wonders if Gimli is going to back down. He wonders if the thought crosses Gimli’s mind, too. But then Gimli meets his eyes and looks at him in a way Legolas might only think to describe as intent.
Or, Legolas and Gimli are able to slip away amidst Rohan's preparation for the Battle of Helm's Deep.

“Please,” he says, making a fist in crude linen, pulling Gimli closer, dizzy with the scent of his sweat, his skin, his dirt. His mouth floods, and he must swallow it before it continues. “Why do you not allow me to touch you as you touch me?”

Summary
When he speaks, his voice is so quiet that Astarion has to strain his Elven ears to hear him.
“I don’t have a choice.”
Astarion scoffs.
“Look, I know it seems that way, but I'm sure we can -"
“No,” Gale snaps, looking back up at him. “You don’t understand. I don’t have a choice.”
Gale is cursed to be obedient. This has... several implications for his odds of survival throughout Acts 1 and 2.

Summary
Like most of Gale’s problems since the Nautiloid, this whole mess is Tav’s fault. He doesn’t know exactly what Tav told Astarion when Gale was out of the room, but he trusts that they didn’t betray his confidence. Probably.
Whatever it is has made Astarion act even stranger than normal and it is threatening Gale’s very carefully curated compartmentalization of his feelings for the man.

Astarion gestures to his screens. One is switched on with Outlook on display, and the other is blank.
Gale nods, leans over to the back of the monitor, and plugs in the loose HDMI cable.
The display jumps to life, and Astarion sits back, looking amazed.IT Manager Gale Dekarios meets the technophobic new Executive Assistant, Astarion Ancunín.
They shouldn't cross paths at all, yet Gale finds himself responding to each call up to desk five-oh-seven.

Summary
All at once, Connor became aware that he was naked under his clothes. The fabric of his pants dragged against his inner thighs whenever he moved. His shirt brushed the maintenance port in his chest, where Hank had opened him up last night. The realization was positively Biblical: Connor had tasted the forbidden fruit, and now he was squirming in his desk chair when he ought to be working.
A porny sequel to Autodidact, although it probably works as a standalone.

Summary
Cohabitation, like partnership, means rules; it means expectations. It means Hank puts cans in the recycling bin when he's done with them and it means Connor folds the linens and returns them to the closet every morning. It means Hank should be polite enough to text him when a case keeps him out late and it means that Connor, if he decides to arbitrate more vociferously or even violently for his civil rights, should at least leave a note.

Summary
Hank pulls back from their hug first. “You got a place to stay?” he asks.
It could be easy. He could say no, and Connor is certain Hank will invite him over. He’ll insist Connor takes his bed while he crashes on the couch. He’ll blow up the inflatable mattress Connor saw stacked in his crowded closet.
Hank will move heaven and earth to accommodate him, and that’s why Connor can’t. He’s put Hank through one hell of a week, and he can’t add this to the pile.
“Yes, I do,” Connor says, pretending he doesn’t see Hank’s disappointment. “I have a private suite in Cyberlife Tower.”

Summary
Before the rescue, and before James’s body had begun to break down in earnest, he’d started to find the nighttime cold on the shale unbearable. He’d shiver for hours before passing out from exhaustion—excruciating, when every movement caused him a spark of pain. One night the cold was particularly sharp—the flaps of their tent snapped loud as thunderclaps in the unforgiving wind—and he’d been shocked to feel his cot dip behind him, Francis’s solid form pressing up against his back.
“Francis,” he’d said, heart pounding, “what are you doing?”
“Whisht,” Francis had hissed. “Can’t sleep for the chattering of your teeth. Now rest.”
