Summary
Seb’s infuriating, really. He’s moody, he’s hyperactive, and he’s much too skilled at racing for his own good. He’s a prodigy, and he’s stealing all of Mark’s dreams, and Mark hates him for it. But here he is, in all his golden-boy glory, needy and easy. In fact, Mark thinks this is a golden opportunity to show Seb who really has the power between them.
Or: Seb looks for something more from his teammate after his thrilling first win in Shanghai.

Summary
When Mark shows up at Seb’s hotel room, a yellow envelope clutched in one hand and a bottle of red wine in the other, he doesn’t expect his heart to break all over again, first thing.

Summary
Laurent is a ragdoll, pulled down into the dark at improbable speed. The lift it makes in his stomach is odd, like the giddy drop on a rollercoaster. A moment of elation, perhaps, before he dies.
He breaks the surface.
His gasping mouth now pulls in air, his feet firmly on the rock bottom of the spring and legs holding him up unshakably. Water streams from his head, down his body, as though a bucket had been dumped over his head. He reaches up to push his sopping hair from his eyes.
“Naiad,” a voice says.
Laurent stills. Psychological collapse should be allowed, by the universe, to be a solitary affair, especially when it happens in a state of complete undress. It’s unfair on a cosmic level that Laurent should be happened upon by a stranger in his current condition.
---
On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.

Summary
He’s a slim, too-pretty boy of twenty, and the men of this particular underworld talk about him as though he’s an open flame, a sparking engine near a pool of gasoline: volatile, and not to be handled. Kid’s got balls of sheer fucking steel, Damen’s contact said.
Which must be true, because having just lost a race against Damen for pink slips, Laurent looks him straight in the eye and says, “Double or nothing?” in a voice like vodka poured straight from the freezer.

Summary
Desire, Jiang Cheng learned, flourished even in love’s absence. It surged hot and fast through his veins at the sight of Nie Huaisang’s spread thighs, marks still lingering from the last rendezvous they had. He felt it burning through his chest as Huaisang raked lines down his back, breaths coming in short, desperate gasps: “Jiang Wanyin, Jiang Wanyin, please, please.”- Language:

Summary
Jiang Cheng was notoriously prickly, hard to reach and difficult to get close to, and Wei Ying could only imagine how much worse he had become as a result of the ongoing Sunshot campaign.
So why did Nie Huaisang seem to be the exception?

Summary
Levi rushes to the wall in the aftermath of the Armored and Colossal Titans' attack.
“Are you worried about your wife?”
The question shocked him out of his musings.
Levi looked up, “My what?”
But the pastor was already speaking, “You’re obviously beside yourself with stress – and it’s understandable. Not knowing if your wife has survived-”
Levi cut him off, “My what?”
The pastor hesitated, apparently realizing he’d made some mistake, but misunderstanding precisely what it was. “Your…wife? The woman we traveled with before? She’s ah – forceful. You two uh – have the same, er – strident personality. When we first met, she dangled me off the wall.”

Summary
So it was fine. Even if Crowley couldn’t love him, he clearly liked him well enough, and that was almost the same thing.
It no doubt would have continued to be fine, or at least fine-adjacent, were it not for a narrowly averted apocalypse and several bottles of a really quite nice Riesling Aziraphale had found in the back room of his newly restored bookshop.

Summary

Summary
"If Nie Huaisang were a better person, maybe he would feel bad at the way Jiang Cheng winces. But he’s not, and he doesn’t. If Jiang Cheng truly doesn’t want to reminisce back on times when life was simpler and Nie Huaisang had time to paint and a brother, then he can feel as guilty about it as he pleases."

Summary
Quickly, Jiang Cheng swipes at his communicator to go back to the previous job listing.
An escort job. Number of passengers: one. Pick-up location: one, view coordinates. He taps to view said coordinates of the pick-up location and finds that he’s already in there: The Canary’s Nest.
He looks up with a narrowed glare at Huaisang, who is humming as he swirls the contents of his mug.
Huaisang smiles. He’s so pretty. He’s so annoying - “I told you you’ll let me into your ship eventually.”
Jiang Cheng goes back to the job details - Destination/s: one. He views the coordinates and it shows him a planet and its name: Qinghe.
Or: Space bounty hunter Jiang Cheng is kinda-sorta dating that cute singer at his favorite bar, forgets to ask important questions, and gets roped into space politics shenanigans, as you do. It'll be fine. Probably.

Summary
“I’m his boyfriend.” Nie Huaisang says, simple and straight to the point.
“He’s not.” Jiang Cheng amends quickly.
“We’re in love!” Nie Huaisang adds, full of confidence.
“Don’t listen to him, he is made of lies.” Jiang Cheng says, and before Nie Huaisang can say more incriminating things, he covers the man’s mouth with his hand. “No, literally. That’s his job. He’s a grifter. He’ll be working with us for this job, because there’s no way I am letting you kids anywhere near that building. No. You will assist, but we’ll let the professional handle this.”
Nie Huaisang frees himself from the hand shutting him up, eyes shining. “A-... A-Cheng, you called me a professional…”
Or: the juniors decided it'd be cool to be online vigilante hackers, but they're getting into very risky territory. Jiang Cheng is a tired & worried uncle, and the only person he can turn to is... his ex.
