    Summary

    Viktor had walked into their lab in a good mood to see Jayce bent over, coughing and hacking delicate little red and white flower petals all over their floor. Jayce had noticed the interruption mid-cough and nearly choked on the next round of flora and spit, his eyes gone wide and his face the color of a tomato. Honestly, he'd looked more like Viktor had caught him with his pants around his ankles than with a common psycho-respiratory infliction.

    Well in the interest of honesty, Viktor had felt like he'd caught Jayce with his pants down in the middle of an affair.

    Those feelings in mind, Viktor feels his younger self can be forgiven for breaking the horrified silence by flatly commenting, "Gross. Try to get over that quickly."

    Summary

    “Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—

    “It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”

    And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.

    So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.

    Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

    Summary

    You’re buttoning your trousers in a woman’s gilded bathroom while the love of your life is dying. And the love of your life is not the smooth skin and swell breasts that’s looking at you with questioning, wide eyes, like it’s all in how you hold your body. But you’re still here—and that says something about you, but it also says something about the situation.

    Shit, you have urges. Fuckin’ sheesh. Stop looking like that. Men have urges. Men want to fight and fuck and they want to burn an evening into nothing but embers by watching a sport they don’t really care about on a flickering screen in a bar that smells of vinegar and old death. Light—the foolish thing—thinks it travels faster than anything in the universe, but it’s wrong. No matter how fast the light travels, the darkness is as much an entity as the light and gets there first, waiting for the altar to be illuminated once again, waiting.

    Men want to talk like they have something to say even when it’s hilariously obvious. And you’re a man. Men want to kiss the tar on the highway, too. Before you’re a person, you’re a man. You’re a man and you’re acting like a teenage girl shoplifting nickel earrings when she’s extra tired of holding the house down.

    Summary

    When Jayce dies in her arms on a hiking trip, Caitlyn thinks she's lost her best friend forever. That is, until a guy with wings on his ankles shows up to tell her that not only does the afterlife exist, but also he can help her bring back Jayce. All she has to do is go down to the Undercity, find Jayce, and walk out. Easy, right?

    Except there's one tiny problem. The lady of the Undercity happens to notice trespassers. Especially ones she likes.

    It's going to take a lot more than a plan and a prayer to get out of the Undercity alive.

    Summary

    Jayce knew it was going to hurt when he saw the first fissure in the crystal.

    His second thought was relief that he was the only one in the lab.

    He felt oddly numb. He brought his hand in front of him. The effect was….unsettling. Moving quickly his body could not seem to keep itself together. Particles of his skin floated in the wake of his hand.

    What?
