    Summary

    “You accused me of treating this like a game. I am sorry if I’ve led you to believe that it is only a game—though I won't deny that part of it is.” Bren gives a disarming smile. “My life is either games or murder, after all.”
    “Or mail fraud,” Thelyss says dryly, not even a little disarmed.
    “The mail fraud is a sort of game as well.”
    A sigh. “Is this your way of telling me that you intend to continue playing?”
    Bren smiles again, sharper. “If you would let me.”

    (In which Bren Aldric Ermendrud decides to seduce the Shadowhand and finds that the best way to convince someone to be vulnerable with you is to be vulnerable in turn.)

    Summary

    “I get it," Grantaire said. "We can even make it a deal, if you like – no detours, just straight home. Shake hands on it.”
    Enjolras eyed him sceptically. “All right,” he said finally and extended a hand. “Straight home, no detours.”
    Grantaire cracked a smile, taking the hand that was offered. “A gentlemen's agreement.”

    (There's a car that has to get from Norway to France, Enjolras doesn't drive, and Grantaire just happens to be there.)

    Summary

    Peter Hale is not afraid of dying.

    Not anymore, at least. Once, Death was something he feared. An ending chapter to the strange book of life. A grand, somber pause. But between the resurrections and the awful concept of living his lonely, miserable life for an unspecified amount of time, death lost its sparkle.

    Dying did, however, chase him far away from Beacon Hills. Far from charred wood and smashed picture frames and all those lonely, lonely memories. Far from Derek and Scott’s watchful eye, and far from the dark cloud of fatality that Peter had found himself trapped under. Dying chased him to the rain-soaked coast of Humboldt County, where the mountains met the seas and all things are neatly hidden behind the emerald curtain of the old-growth redwoods.

    Summary

    Grantaire's life has a pattern: he pays his respects to Aphrodite, he goes to work, he loves Enjolras and provokes him because he can't bring himself to do otherwise. That seems unlikely to change, at least until Enjolras speaks out against the gods and ends up cursed. Grantaire does his best to help him, but it turns out it's just as hard to love Enjolras up close as it is from afar.

    Summary

    Grantaire’s first flower appears when he is two years old. It’s late, for a First Bloom, considering some children are born with their First already etched above their hearts, but Grantaire’s parents are warm and loving and wait to see what sort of child they have born unto the world.

    His First Bloom, when it comes, is vibrant patch of yellow carnations. He is too young to know what it means, and his parents don’t tell him, just—withdraw, and a much smaller patch of yellow carnations appears on his mother’s ankle.
