Summary
"Luther captures one of Benji’s pawns, and then Benji takes two of his, and the sun slowly sets as Benji vaguely wonders where they’ll get dinner from this time — if Luther wants to try the new bistro he’d been mentioning lately or if he’ll let Benji choose because they ordered from Luther’s Italian place last time. Benji finds he doesn’t much care, knocks down a white knight and bishop, and shoots Luther a grin he knows he’ll pointedly avoid."
Luther and Benji play chess together. They sort of fall in love.

Summary
"Gus had not been able to sleep last night. His body kept him awake well past his bedtime, not knowing how to fall asleep in his own bed, alone, for the first time in what felt like forever. The bed was too big, the blankets too cold, the room too silent without Shawn’s breathing. And now Gus wonders if he’ll ever be able to sleep again if Shawn is never coming home."
Or, in which, Shawn leaves without saying goodbye, and Gus is left barren, broken, and alone.

Summary
"It’s a sharp sort of pain. One that squeezes the air from his lungs when he sees flowers sprouting from dry rocks, a Jamaican restaurant, or an old, used bookstore. Something that makes his throat close up at the sight of old couples on park benches and kids eating ice cream cones. There are hundreds of things every day that remind Shawn of Gus and hundreds of times every day that he wishes Gus is here."
Shawn bails. Runs. It's what he does and who he is. It doesn't mean he likes it.

Summary
“A lucky penny.”
Alec looked at the penny, then raised his eyebrows at Magnus. “Looks the same as every other penny to me.”
Magnus chuckled. “Mundane superstition. If a penny lands face up, it’s meant to bring good luck.”
His boyfriend shrugged, then offered the penny to Magnus. “Here, you take it.”
Magnus couldn't remember the last time someone gave him a gift before Alec. Alec never stops finding things to give him.

On their sixth anniversary, Alec surprises Magnus with a gift that Magnus once dreamed about.
