    Summary


    The Law of Parsimony - Also called ‘Occam's razor’, is a mental model which states that “it is futile to do with more what can be done with fewer”—


    In other words, the simplest explanation is most likely the right one; no matter how unlikely.

    Shane tries really hard to hear the voices when he’s doing the Estes method for Ryan.

    It’s just, you know. This time, he hears the voices after the Estes method has stopped, too.

    Summary

    If you’d have asked Shane five years ago what his five-year plan was, he’d have had a very different answer to the one he's living now. Today, Shane starts his first summer as a fire lookout in California. He's miles and miles away from civilization, and the closest person to his lookout tower is a strange man who keeps asking him questions about Bigfoot.

    But, like The Rolling Stones say, "You can't always get what you want", but Shane sure hopes he'll get what he needs.

    Summary

    "Ryan set his expression. There’d be time for confrontations later. There’d be time for explanations even later than that. For now... “Just give me yes’s and no’s. Is it human blood?”

    Shane’s expression changed. It was as if the whole time Ryan had known him, he’d worn some soft, neutral mask, a carefully humane construction of short smiles and gentle hard eyes. Now his gaze was a threat, an open and savage hunger directed up at him. Ryan could feel the oxygen shake right out of his chest. Fear. Real fear. Even though he hadn’t ever seen a vampire before, hadn’t seen one in this state, it had to be easy for anyone looking at Shane now to know"

    Summary

    It was only once Ryan had stared at the cube-shaped thing for a moment that he realized it was a remote control. It had a tiny screen, an on/off button, another button marked "interval", and + and – buttons labeled "vibration".

    They hadn’t talked about sex. They hadn’t talked about a lot of stuff. Ryan figured it sort of came with the territory of knowing your best friend in and out and wanting to kiss him so bad your head hurt. It had to come with the territory when you knew said best friend wanted the same thing without his ever really opening his mouth to say it.

    Or Ryan receives a butt plug for his birthday which gives him an idea of what to give Shane for Christmas.

    Summary

    “You busy this weekend?” Ryan turns to look at Shane, who doesn't seem to be very busy at all.

    Without looking up from his phone, Shane shakes his head.

    “Wanna go for a drive?”

    “Where are we going?” Shane asks, looking up then, bright brown irises behind those clear framed glasses. His hair is pushed back but there’s that one lock of hair that falls delicately over Shane’s forehead. Shane pushes up the sleeves of his blue-tinged button up; Ryan watches the effortless sweeping motion before looking up to meet Shane’s eyes.

    “Up north,” Ryan says, biting down on his lip, feeling sheepish. “You like werewolves, right?”

    Shane gives him a look, pure disdain in his eyes. Ryan can’t help but grin.

    Summary

    And Ryan knows. He knows that it’s probably been obvious for a while, how he and Shane have been circling around each other, pulled into a tighter orbit as the years have passed. The way that if Ryan is somewhere without Shane, he’s the first person people ask him about. The way that Ryan can’t remember the last time he’s gone out without Shane. He’s not sure that Shane’s noticed, though.

    He wishes that Shane would notice.

    Summary

    For months now, Ryan has kissed him perfunctorily, the to-do list roiling in his brain, thinking of all the places they need to be and the obligations he needs to fulfill to other people. This time, the bottom drops out of space and time.

    Ryan kisses him slow, bending at the waist to caress Shane at the nape of his neck and claim his mouth for his own. Shane goes willingly, eagerly, tilting his head up for more. Ryan kisses like they have all the time in the world, and they do, don’t they?

    Summary

    “Plus,” and he smiles with all of his white teeth, “if we’d left you there much longer to cardsharp that crew, likely your night would have ended with a knife to the throat.” He reaches out as if to graze his fingers over Shane’s clavicle, then remembers himself at the last minute. His hand hovers in the air. “And what a shame it would be, to mar that throat.”

    “Do you—what do you want, Bergara?” Shane stammers out. He winces at the waver in his voice.

    “You,” he responds, his eyes sweeping up to meet him with a gaze that pierces Shane between the ribs.

    Summary

    “I feel like you’ve been thinking about this for a while,” Shane says, keeps stroking through Ryan’s hair, again and again, soothing, “I think you already know what you want from me.”

    Ryan nods, his eyes closed in bliss now that he’s finally being touched, but his shoulders are still stiff with — shame, maybe? Embarrassment?

    “Tell Daddy what you’ve been thinking about.”

    Summary

    It’s not a thing. Ryan’s just a little… touch-starved. Intimacy-starved.

    Shane passes behind him when he’s sitting at his desk, idly touches Ryan’s shoulder, thumb brushing the curve of his neck — and goosebumps erupt down the length of Ryan’s arms.

    Summary

    Shane first heard about Ryan’s magical little bar in the southern California desert years ago. He’d always meant to visit, but the bar is off the beaten path, hidden specifically to make it difficult for people like him to find. So Shane is truly so excited to finally be here, in this enchanting little bar that’s turned so many of his kind away. He's so excited to finally set foot in the spot where Ryan’s fought off one attempt on his life after another, where Ryan’s won the undying loyalty of his handpicked bar staff.

    But Shane is most excited to finally meet Ryan.

    He wants to drink with him.

    He wants to play a game.
