    Summary

    There was a knock at the heavy wooden door, and then a low voice said, “Knock knock?”

    Scott sat up so fast he sent a surge of water splashing onto the floor. “Etho?”

    Etho sounded privately amused, the way he usually did. “Are you decent?”

    “Sure,” Scott said. His heart was abruptly hammering in his chest. “Sure, yeah. Come on in.”

    Summary

    Joel thinks about his crossbows, about his explosives, about all the ways he could do this. He’s thought plenty about how he’d kill Scott, given the chance. He thinks about Grian screaming for Joel to kill him. He thinks about handing Jimmy the bomb that killed him.

    He grabs his sword instead, and climbs up onto the bed until he’s above Scott, knees bracketing his chest, the sharp point of the blade placed over Scott’s sternum. “If you vanish and turn up somewhere else—”

    “You don’t have time to spare threatening me,” Scott interrupts. Joel stabs him before he can finish the sentence.

    Jimmy’s dead, and Joel’s not handling it well. Unfortunately for him, Scott’s handling it even worse.

    Summary

    “I mean,” Joel says, mostly justifying it to himself, “we should probably try at least once, right? Since, soulmates? And all that.”

    or: Double Life sequel where Joel and Scott are soulmates. That’s the entire premise.

    Summary

    Joel had been very firm in reassuring Lizzie that it wasn’t cheating, because he was okay with it, and their agreement had always been that it was okay to sleep with other people as long as they talked about it after and it wasn’t Scott. And anyway, in this instance it was Jimmy, so it didn’t even really count. The only stipulation was, Joel had decided, that if they were going to do it again, he wanted to be there. To show ’im how it’s done, he didn’t add, but he thought Lizzie could probably tell he’d wanted to. But she’d agreed, with a sweet little mischievous smile, and said she’d been thinking about it herself anyway, which was why Joel was now sat in a chair watching his best friend and his wife in bed together.

    Except he was also tied up. Which had been Lizzie’s idea.

    Lizzie and Jimmy bamming in the bunker, but this time Joel’s there too.

    Summary

    “But you don’t want that, do you,” said Scott. “I know you. You don’t want someone to treat you nice, yeah? You want someone who knows how to make you heel.”

    “You don’t know what I want,” Jimmy said stubbornly.

    “Of course I do,” Scott told him. “I’m your husband.”

    For a second, the scowl on Jimmy’s face wavered, like he was going to laugh. Then he caught himself. “I don’t want to be bullied.”

    “What an inelegant term,” Scott said. “I prefer ‘trained.’”
