    Summary

    “Do you remember anything?” Doctor asked.

    He shook his head, then regretted it when pain lanced across his temples. “No, nothing.”

    Not-Doctor growled(?) under his breath. “Not anything?”

    “No...?”

    “Jesus.” Not-Doctor leaned his forehead against the wall and spat a few choice words into it. “Not even the—“

    “Not now.” Maybe-Doctor flashed a pointed look at Not-Doctor. “Let him wake up.” He turned back to the bed. “You remember a name, or are ya good with Tom?”

    Maybe-Doctor took his perturbed silence—and increased beeping of the heart monitor—to mean ‘yes’. “Alrighty then, Tom. Jeff, would’ya get some food in here?”

    His stomach rumbled at the words. He hadn’t realised how hungry he’d been, but now it was all he could think about.

    Doctor—Jeff—nodded and quietly slipped out the door.

    Maybe-Doctor held out his hand. “Name’s Newt, Tommy,” the young man said with a grin. “I won’t overwhelm you with the nasty details just yet, but you’ve chosen an unfortunate world to lose your memory in."

    Summary

    Setting: Post-Samaritan and Shaw never captured at the Stock Exchange.

    People with alexithymia or an Axis II personality disorder, fellow sociopaths—
    Have you ever dealt with this?
    When a certain hacker somehow decides you’re her new fixation?
    Sure, she’s gorgeous, competent with firearms, hot as hell, and basically a walking hazard zone of charisma.
    But love is a liability, and workplace romance is a rookie mistake we rational sociopaths would never make.
    So how exactly do you shake her off without resorting to any violence, like snapping necks or pulling triggers?
    (Reminder to my fellow sociopaths: atypical wiring ≠ criminality)
    Enroll in this Anti-Romance 101—
    A crash course in telling an unhinged hacker “I don’t do feelings”.

    Summary

    “Are you sure this is a good idea?” Tom whispered into my ear, and I couldn’t help but grin.

    “Oh, this is a terrible idea,” I said. “Stealing from the second most powerful man in England, who could throw us into the darkest cell in Newgate without hesitation? Probably my worst idea yet.”

    Tom whimpered.

    Summary

    Susato rarely came to the docks; it was a place where a girl like her stood out amongst the gruff sailors and fishermen. On this night however, she wore a dark cloak borrowed from Kazuma’s closet, determined to blend in with the darkness and to find the cause of so much talk and commotion: a real live mermaid!

    Summary

    Otoya groans exaggeratedly, but he shifts against Karasu anyway, reaching for his bedside drawer, and Karasu belatedly realizes how close him and Otoya are pressed against each other; their legs are tangled up together, and before he’d moved, Otoya had been practically draped across Karasu’s chest. It makes something in Karasu tighten, somewhere around his ribcage, and his hoody, oversized and baggy though it is, suddenly feels too tight on him.
    ____

    Karasu and Otoya are college seniors, best friends, roommates, and frat brothers in the Beta Lambda fraternity. They also may or may not be in love. (They are).
