Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
“Fuck you, I know we aren’t friends. I know that now, and I probably always knew. I mean, you never even liked me.”
“I like you, River,” he tells the other man.
“Just not enough.”
“Just not more. Not more than the chance she offered me. But that’s all down the drain now, so–” James hopes he can leave it at that, though River isn’t budging.
Part 1: He almost dies. Again. Because three time’s the charm. But one thing becomes abundantly clear– James “Spider” Webb knows something he isn’t supposed to. Normally, the prospect of someone wanting to kill Spider would have River cheering them on, but this time it’s different. The issue uncovers a conspiracy MI5 would rather sweep under the rug, because some things never change. Except when they do.
Part 2: After a tumultuous run in with life, fate, and River Cartwright, James Webb finds himself permanently stationed at Slough House. Things are going alright, until two elderly citizens turn up dead, connected by a mysterious thread. On their way to the truth, both men uncover old secrets and grievances. Not just about the dead.

Summary
If Jamie could spend the rest of his life held in someone’s arms, he would in a heartbeat. Well, he’d need to be let go to play football, he supposes, but the rest of the time would be good enough.
For Roy, touch is just another way to show he cares. He’s fucking shit at words, but he makes up for it in physical contact when he wants to.
And for both of them, touch is something rare and precious. An indulgence. A want. A need. And its absence causes an ache that neither will ever confront.
It'd be a real shame if they just happened to have to.
---------
aka a fic where both Roy and Jamie are touchstarved and oops they're also gay and in love eventually because I am gay and also touchstarved and living vicariously through fictional sportsball men <3

Summary
Daniel can tell right away that something is deeply, unsettlingly wrong. And that’s when he realizes that Armand hasn’t moved his legs once in Daniel’s sight, which has been trained on him nearly the entire time. How long had it taken Louis to recover from his spinal injury?
“He had a lot more going on,” Armand wheezes. “But, to answer your question without consulting your abysmal recordings? Months.”
“Uh, they’re not so easily consulted at the moment,” Daniel says, trying to maintain his balance. It’s going to be a fucking miracle if he can get himself back on his feet, let alone haul a temporarily paralyzed Armand along with him. “I’m gonna let the head thing slide for the time being.”
“The head thing?”
“You. In mine.”
“How generous.”
“The way I see it,” Daniel says, “I’m your only ticket out of here if you’re in as bad a shape as I think you are. Tell me I’m wrong.”
