    Summary

    Elias is doing a pretty good job of losing at this hand of poker, so that clearly isn’t the reason why Peter’s been sulking. He can tell, because the man has his usual polite, genial smile plastered onto his face, like the two of them aren’t alone in Elias’ office. He’s not rubbing his oncoming victory into Elias’ face either, which is highly out of character.

    -

    Peter and Elias make a wager.

    Summary

    “Wait, where’s my other daddy?” Aamal turns to Jon, and he’s struck by the worst urge to look away. “Will he be back soon?”
    Jon meets her hopeful eyes, and for the first time in years, actually feels the wound yawning wide in his chest, deeper and bloodier than the scar through his heart ever was.
    “No,” he says, very softly. Aamal’s face falls, her brows drawn in question. Jon can’t look at her. He stares at his good hand, knuckles yellowed by his grip on the edge of the counter. “He, uh.” He swallows. It goes down like rocks. “He’s not coming back.”
    “Why?” Her voice skews high, pinched with a note of anger. Unbidden, Jon chokes out a small, miserable laugh. She sounds just like Martin.
    “Because,” he says, raw, both hands shaking now, “I messed up very, very badly.”

     
    Or,

    On the eve of the Unknowing, Jon and Martin found comfort in each others’ arms. Ten years later, the daughter they left behind finds them Somewhere Else.

    Summary

    In a world where the supernatural has been known to humans for decades, the law is harshly enforced against those who use their powers to commit crimes. After being convicted of aggravated assault, a werewolf is given a choice: go to a supernatural prison—a fate considered by many to be worse than death—or work off his sentence by helping the police solve murders. Unfortunately for him, the cops aren't inclined to go easy on their new helper.

    Summary

    Philza struggled to keep standing straight, dizzy from blood loss, a white-knuckle grip on his sword.

    “I have heard much of you, emperor Philza, and I have respect for you. Therefore, I’ll offer you a deal. You will surrender. You will kneel before me, right here, right now, and beg for mercy. Then I’ll take you to the Nether with me, and you’ll become my prisoner, slave, and personal servant. Or-

    The Blood God raised his netherite blade, pointing the tip straight at Philza’s heart.

    “-I will allow you to die with a sword in your hand, and once you’re dead, I will slaughter your children.”

    Philza fell to his knees without hesitation.

    ~~~

    Philza had been prepared for a lot of things when he was taken as a war prize: the loss of his basic freedom, the heartbreak of being separated from his sons, the indignity of being reduced into the piglin king’s “pet”.

    What he hadn’t been expecting was for the man behind the blood-stained mask to be soft-spoken, or good-natured, or tired from the weight of his crown.

    Or lonely.
