Summary
To escape a blisteringly hot London, Ellwood asks Gaunt to Thornycroft Manor for the first week of July. Alas, pining is an equally uncomfortable and heated experience.

Summary
Written after the end of the book, basically just detailing their lives together in Brazil, the struggles, the adventures and everything else in between. Mostly self-indulgent, because I NEED to consolidate their happy ending, my freaking shaylas.

Summary
It was funny, Gaunt mused from his perch on the window seat, how his tolerance for other people had only lowered coming back from the War. The threshold was already unacceptably low when he was in school, especially if you were to ask his mother.
“No wonder girls never wish to dance with you if you are always looking so dour, Heinrich.” she would hiss at him after another night of being glued to the corners of the room, and finding him moping around the house the next day. “Versuchst du, überhaupt?" Gaunt would have been the first to admit that, no he wasn’t really trying, but he refused to be petulant, so bowed his head and apologised. The shame in the action was true enough, and it was always easier to submit to his mother than risk further provoking her ire.
Now, he was squashed against the windowpane with his knees up against his chest, feeling tired and foolish. The picture he imagined he created, all six-foot-two inches of him, dressed in his evening clothes and curled in on himself like a sulking child, made him wince a little. He felt he must be too old for this.
or:
Gaunt gets some time away from a party to think.

Summary
Ellwood wants to please Gaunt in bed, and Gaunt doesn’t really know what he wants because he’s never had a partner who cared 😢 Ellwood decides to try something different.
“Touch me, Henry,” Ellwood says coyly, “I know you want to. And I’m right here, wanting it just as badly…maybe more.”
And that’s what breaks the dam. Gaunt launches himself at a smirking Ellwood, capturing his lips in a bruising kiss so passionate he can scarcely contain himself. He wants like he’s never felt before.
Instinctively, he finds himself on top of Ellwood, pinning Ellwood beneath him. Their erections brush against each other and he stops, panting like he’s run a race. He pulls back, eyes searching Ellwood’s for his reaction. All he sees is a slow, wicked grin. “Or maybe you do want this as much as I do,” Ellwood muses, running a hand up the arm Gaunt is holding him down with. “You know what I think, Henry?” he whispers seductively. “I think you know exactly what you want. You’re just too self-restrained to say it out loud. So I’m going to do us both a favor. Take it, Henry. Whatever it is that you want, just take it.”
