    Summary

    The problem is, now that he knows what Thomas looks like at the height of pleasure, now that he knows the sounds he makes, it’s all that’s occupying his thoughts. He’s never felt much of a need to try to put a label to the way he feels attraction, but he’s more than willing to bet it’s not how most people experience it. But then Thomas had kissed him, and it was as if a switch had flipped.

     

    They shouldn’t do it again. Edward knows this.

     

    He wants to anyway.


    The night before you leave on your band’s first headlining tour across Europe isn’t, generally speaking, considered the best of nights to impulsively hook up with your best friend for the first time. Sometimes, it happens anyway.

    Summary

    When Edward first hears the noise, he thinks he must be imagining things. His imagination does have a tendency to run away with him sometimes, particularly where Lieutenant Jopson is concerned, and it’s not as if he hasn’t had his own share of restless nights, being tossed around by the waves on his narrow, uncomfortable bunk. A rustle of blankets, the creak of a berth, a heavy sigh: they’re all normal things to be heard through the thin walls between the officers’ cabins.

    Then, though. A sharp breath. Another rustling noise. For a moment, Edward is able to convince himself that Jopson is simply having a bad dream.

    Summary

    Through the window Francis watched the shops and office buildings crawl by. A streetlight was out at one corner, and in the new dark the window showed his reflection. He wondered if that was how James saw him. A watery shadow, a face invisible in the light.

    Francis takes a little blue pill on the way home from dinner. James doesn't know. Then they get stuck in traffic.

    Summary

    Solomon tilts his head, presses the toe of his boot down. Across the table, Edward’s eyes flutter shut, impossibly long lashes brushing the tops of his sharp cheekbones.

    “Call me Solomon, would you? It’s only fair, isn’t it— Edward?”

    At the first hint of pressure against the hard and insistent line of his prick, Edward gasps out an exhale like he’s been hit in the gut, doubling over the table and dropping his head into his hands.

    Solomon Tozer finds his interest piqued. Edward Little invites the Sergeant in for tea. Dundy Le Vesconte is..... well. He's there.
