    Summary

    It’s Daisy who invites her to drinks, a few weeks into Basira's new job as she’s starting to adjust. There’s a couple others in the dingy, decidedly non-exclusive pub when Basira arrives, but it’s Daisy who shifts in the booth to let her in, who splits rounds with her, who listens even if it’s in brooding silence. Basira appreciates that in a colleague. And, well. It's really attractive.

    Summary

    The first person Tim ate wasn't a friend. Jonny isn't one either. He's so much more than that, and most of all, he's dead.
    Very dead. More dead than he's ever been before.

    Jonny dies. Tim eats him.

    Summary

    "Meat needs to soak in the marinade a bit", Jonny mumbles. Tim smiles and runs his fingers through his hair.
    "You're fucked up, you know that?"

    Every few hundred years or so, Jonny gets the idea to do something nice and quiet with one of his crewmates. With Tim, it turns out to be a nice lakeside camping trip, with some lovely fresh-grilled Jonny meat to eat.

    Summary

    Marius no longer has a crush, because Lyfrassir Edda died with the rest of the Yggdrasil system, and he's never going to see them again. Right? Right.

    Marius is frequently proven wrong.

    Summary

    “This is the Magnus Institute, not a creative writing course at university. If that doesn’t agree with him, he can leave.” There was a thud and the sound of rifling tapes. “He can take his bloody tea with him.”

    Martin’s fingers tightened on the saucer. Oh.

    -

    Martin knows better than to talk about it. It's fine. He's fine.

    Summary

    “A demonstration?” Jon asks, and the words come out very level, very careful. He’s still frozen in the same position, like he’s afraid he might spook off a bird that’s miraculously landed on him by moving.

    Tim opens his mouth to reply, but only manages it on the second try.

    “Yeah,” he says. “Hands on, you know. Let you get to see the thing for yourself.”

    “And you would be tying up…” Jon says, trailing off into a silence that begs to be filled, answered.

    “You,” Tim confirms, and he thinks he sees Jon shiver as he says it. “I couldn’t-- can’t tie myself up, after all.”

    “But I can’t-- I don’t do that,” Jon says, as if remembering himself. He almost sounds disappointed. “I don’t-- I don’t enjoy sex. I’m very certain of that much, I made sure. I can’t--”

    “Who said anything about sex?”

    -

    Tim shows Jon the wonders of bondage.

    Summary

    Martin can see the way that Jon's hands shake, and the dark bruises around his eyes. He notices the jitters and the skipped meals and the way that Jon is first in the Archives in the morning, and last out at night, assuming he ever leaves.

    It can't go on. And Martin thinks that he might have a solution.

    Summary

    Elias is too dramatic to just TELL Peter that he's transferred to a new body. Much more fun to watch and see what he does when he comes back from sea expecting James Wright, who is dead.

    Peter is also too dramatic to wait for an explanation before feeding the Lonely and grieving his tragically deceased husband.

    Summary

    “This is a lovely lab,” Raphaella says. “I’d have come willingly if you’d offered to show it to me.”

    “Would you?” the Mystery Woman asks faintly. Her eyes are darting from Raphaella’s face to her wings to her chest in rapid succession.

    “Well now you’ll never know for sure, will you?” Raphaella hops off of the exam table. “Bad science there. Very flawed methodology.” She peers at the tools laid out on the table. “Were you going to vivisect me? That’s rather bold for the first date.”

    Raphaella seduces Dr. Carmilla into mechanizing her. That's it, that's the story.

    All of the explicit stuff happens in the second chapter; so if you just want the meet-cute, avoid that one!

    Title is from the Mountain Goats song by the same name.

    Summary

    "So, a computer virus, huh?" Jonny says, his teeth gritted as he hacks at the stubborn twine. "How'd he manage to infect you with it?"

    "Fucker corrupted one of Aurora's terminals," Nastya mutters darkly, "And he hid the virus in there. So when I connected with her interface to see what was wrong..." Nastya splays her fingers and swings her hand in an arc, a vague gesture at her current circumstance.

    It's time for a Nastya sickfic!

    Summary

    It shouldn’t have been surprising to learn that Martin hated him. He had been, he knew, a truly terrible boss - he’d treated Martin horribly, caused him to lose his home, nearly gotten him killed. Really, it had been ridiculous to ever think that Martin wouldn’t hate him.

    Still, Jon had been trying, in his own way, to make it up to him. There wasn’t exactly a card at the drugstore that said, “I’m sorry I berated you for six months and caused you to nearly be eaten by a swarm of worms of potentially supernatural origin,” but he’d been trying. He brought Martin breakfast every morning, made sure the breakroom cabinets were stocked with his favorite blends of tea, and had tried to work some genuine praise into his feedback of Martin’s work. None of it was the direct apology that his conscience told him he really ought to give, but Martin had appreciated it. Or seemed to, anyway.

    Jon wasn’t certain what motivated the decision he made next - whether it was guilt or spite or something else. He could, he knew, be quite petty when the situation called for it. Either way, he made up his mind then and there to prove Martin wrong. He was going to be the best fake boyfriend he could be.

    Summary

    Dear PoeticSoul (if that is your real name),

    Hello. I’ve never done this before, so I’m not quite sure how it goes but—I need a date for Friday, December 21st. My work is hosting a holiday party and for the past three years, I have gone alone. Which has been fine, really, until my colleagues began making rather unseemly comments. And my boss—well, if you come with me, I’m sure you’ll gather Elias’s character when you meet him. He’s a bit...unsettling, and I’d rather have someone there as a bit of a buffer.

    As stated in my profile, this is not a sex thing—to be clear. I need you to be my boyfriend. Just for one night.

    Let me know about the cost. I do hope you’re worth whatever exorbitant fee you’re charging.

    Jon

    Murdina cants her head a little. It's clear that she's trying, not for the first time, to consider a cultural boundary that she finds bizarre and maybe even stupid. But, for Sestia, she is giving it a chance. "We can't be overt about having sex... because *he* isn't having sex."

    Summary

    'That's . . . how sexual attraction tends to work, Jon.' She tilts her head slightly. Whether in confusion or amusement or some mix of the two, Jon can't tell. He lets out a dry, disgusted sound from the back of his throat.
    'No, that's - people don't really want to have sex with random strangers solely because they have some kind of appealing assortment of physical characteristics.' His head seems to sink on his neck in disbelief as Daisy quirks an eyebrow at him. 'Do they?'

    -

    A fill for a prompt over at The MagnACE Archives: Daisy tries to explain sexual attraction to a skeptical Jon.
