    Summary


    “So he’s holding a grudge a little longer than usual,” Louis says. “He’ll be there on the first day.” Charming all the new corps, he thinks bitterly; deciding whose legs he will have wrapped around his waist by the end of the week’s practice, if not before.

     

    “Not this time,” Armand says, and Louis suddenly recognises the look on his face. It’s the subdued panic of a man who is attempting to stem the flow of water through a cracked vessel with only his hands, incapable of patching it before every last drop escapes through his fingers. The same look, in fact, that he had given Louis when he’d thrown a duffel bag at Armand’s feet and told him he had fifteen minutes to grab his shit and get out. “Lestat doesn’t intend to quit the company. He intends to quit ballet.”

     

    In the grey stupor of London, Louis is preparing the Azalea Gallery's forthcoming exhibition and worrying about Claudia. He doesn't plan to add wrangling Lestat, principal dancer of the Royal Ballet and his kind-of-ex-husband, into the mix – until Armand comes knocking, and makes him an offer he can't refuse.

    Summary

    '“I fell into a pool of blood, if you can believe. I think it’s in my ears.” Grace huffs a breathy laugh. “Somehow it’s not even in the top ten worst things that've happened to me today.”

    She’s a strong girl. She’s going to be okay. Leon flexes his hands again, slips his gloves off, and finally puts his ring back onto his unmarked, uninfected finger, where it belongs.'

    Or: Leon and Grace navigate what comes after the events of Requiem. Grace tries to cope and move forward, Leon processes some old hurts and tries to make it better for her, and Chris takes his husband to bed.

    Summary

    People try to set Chris and Leon up with strangers. Obviously the best solution is to pretend to date each other to avoid this.

    Or,

    The time Chris Redfield gay panicked his way into a fake relationship with the love of his life. Surely this will have no consequences.


    Leon doesn't seem upset, though, leaning back against the stone baluster with a contemplative look. "Hmm. No, it's okay. Actually, it might solve our problems if people do think that."

    "If people think… we're together?" The words feel strange in his mouth, almost expecting to be slapped for even thinking about it, but Leon nods slowly.

    "I mean, would save us the trouble of inventing any fake spouses, you know? And this line of work doesn't leave much space for a relationship outside of it anyway. It makes sense, don't you think?"

    God, does it make sense. If only Leon knew how often and thoroughly Chris had considered that it made sense. Well, perhaps it's still better he doesn't know. "Yes." Chris's voice comes out raspy, and he clears his throat and tries again. "Yes, it makes sense."

    Summary

    Chris’ bedtime reading is interrupted by his husband’s leg suddenly draping suggestively over his thigh.

    Chris sighs. Leon remains still, exuding an air of plaintiveness all the same. “Use your words.”
