    A slow exchange of endearments.

    Or, Alfie calls Tommy ‘petal’ to annoy him. That tactic devolves rather quickly, in the end.

    Summary

    When the war ended, the victorious Corbash Empire were not entirely ruthless with their demands. In the terms of surrender lay a curious clause, though:

    One officer from the defeated Lissial Confederation, to be joined in marriage to the victorious General Nicul Druken.

    Summary

    A missing/additional scene set in Season 5.

    Tommy and Alfie visit the Russians' underground vault; it stirs up some things, and some unexpected aftermath occurs. All ends well.

    Late Entry for Angstpril 2024; a plot bunny that wouldn't die, sort of/kind of in response to prompts 7 (bad dreams), 19 (trembling), 27 (panicked) and alt prompt 5 (mental scars). Fair warning: possibly garbage; I don't write much angst so this one's a bit of a crapshoot.

    Thanks for reading; feedback and comments of all shapes, sizes and flavors are always welcomed.

    Summary

    This was not the first time they did the roleplay. Eames and Fischer or Doctor Jonathan Crane (oh, they did love to see his mask)– they had done it before. And it was very fascinating to see how those scenes turned out.

    But this– Alfie and Tommy– was new to them.

    And they were absolutely digging into it.

    Summary

    He wants to hate Kathy. That’d be just petty enough to make him feel better. But, fucked in the head as he is, he can’t hate her. He’s got Betty, who he loves just a little less than he should; he’s got the girls; he’s got Brucie, who he loves a little more than he should. Who the fuck is he to decide Benny can’t have somebody?
    He just wishes Benny hadn’t picked a girl who’s so damn smart.

    in which Johnny wants things he can't have and I write a borderline rant about a movie I'm obsessed with.

    Summary

    The man that Luca knows is called "gatto sazio", the cat that’s full. A whisper of "gatto sazio" is all it takes for the men to lower their heads in deference, the name a reminder that for those who may be fooled by his slim build and placid smile, painless death would be a generosity. What they don’t know about are the nights of pent up frustration and barely controlled violence. They don’t know, but Luca does.

    Now the first part of the series "Luca Knows"

    Summary

    Tommy is not sure how he’s ended up here. On the surface it appears like a dream, the penthouse in Soho, the successful husband who never misses an opportunity to spoil him, a life full of expensive dinners and parties. But beneath the glimmering surface lies a darkness unlike anything else.

    One late night in an overcrowded ER, he meets someone who finally sees him. And from that moment on, something changes.

    Summary

    Damen's already unpleasant visit to Arles takes a sour turn when he and Laurent get into an argument.

    You’re unfair!” Laurent chokes out, wrapping his hands around Damen’s wrist, much like he did last night. “So what, just because I was –admittedly– a little cruel last night you decided to abandon me before the sun even rises? Do you want me to grovel at your feet? Beg for forgiveness?”

    “I want no such thing,” Damen answers patiently. “You said yourself before we arrived here that our stay was going to last six months at most. We’re almost halfway done. Without me here to distract you, the time will fly and before you know it, we will reunite in our new palace.”

    Laurent’s lower lip wobbles. “You’re willing to stay away from me for that long, then?”

    Damen doesn’t hesitate to answer honestly. “If it will make you stop resenting me, yes.”

    Resent you?! I don’t–”

    “You compared me to your uncle, Laurent.”

    Summary

    Tommy sat there, in Alfie's parlour, having listened to him waffle on about watching ships and being dead, and having got him onboard with the Moseley plan for an extortionate but not impossible sum of money, and expected to go on with his day as planned.

    Alfie, now dead and therefore freed of all societal expectations, has other ideas. He has a proposition. One which has been waiting, unspoken, for seven years.

    Or: "What I'm trying to ask you, Tommy..." Alfie said, "...is when exactly are you and I going to fuck?"

    Summary

    Richard the Lionheart, King of England, has met with Sultan Saladin in secret and returns to the Crusader army at Akkon. With him, he brings the man who has rescued him from the desert and fought at his side against a troupe of Saracens: the red-eyed hakim and former officer of the Sultan, Atlan d'Arcon-Atlan the Arkonide, who has fallen in love with the Lionheart, as he has with him. Atlan must now find his place with the Crusaders and learn how to deal with Richard's men-and the women of his family, his sister Joanna and Berengaria, the English king's wife.
