Summary
“Perhaps it wasn’t Jim,” said Smiley after a long silence. “Perhaps it was someone else who blew the networks. Not Jim.”
*
At Freistadt, deep in the soft warm heaven of a girl whose name he had forgotten, Max had been puzzled and angry. The anger had carried him for months, but he wasn’t angry anymore, though the bewilderment lingered.
“So what you doing here,” he said again, “Jim?”
*
After the events of TTSS, Jim pays a visit to his Operation Testify legman.

"Look at you," Xavier says, "so hard for me, fuck, can’t believe it.”
He doesn’t know why Xavier can’t believe it. Seeing is believing, right? And touching, well, that’s like seeing, but with your hands. And Xavier’s touching him a lot. And it feels great. It’s almost embarrassing, how great it feels.

Summary
His mother always puts tarragon in her chicken soup. He adds a bunch to his basket. Sage—he loves the velvet softness of the leaves as he rubs them and the savory smell that rises from them—rosemary because it’s nearby, thyme because it’s so small and cute, fresh oregano. It’ll be the greenest soup Lucas has ever seen. Hmm, perhaps too green. He examines the recipe, scrawled on a notecard. Only two red chilis? He’ll get a few more, for the contrast.
An ongoing series of short vignettes depicting the gastronomical lives of Lucas and Eliott through the years. (Note: mostly G- to M-rated except for select chapters.)

“Are you looking for Jounouchi Katsuya?” Ryou says. “You won’t find him.”
The woman turns on him. Her eyes flash in the lantern light. Her pupils are blown: a hawk’s eyes, focusing on the kill.
“Who the hell are you?” she demands.
“I want to make a trade,” Ryou says. “My soul for his.”
Now complete!

Summary
He’s dreamed of Eliott in the years between. He’s dreamed of chases through chambers of ice, crevasses cracking open beneath his feet. He’s dreamed of Eliott’s mouth, cold as death, of Eliott’s eyes, frozen, sightless, frost in his eyelashes.
He’s wondered what it would be like to see Eliott again, let his mind spiral through the possibilities, but he’s never been able to decide how it would feel.
In this moment, it feels like drowning.
“Lucas,” Eliott says. “It is you, isn’t it? Lucas Lallemant.”
Ten years after Eliott breaks Lucas' heart, they meet again in Lyon.
A sequel to my melancholy alpine Elu AU, Chamonix. I’d recommend starting there.

Summary
“You’re drunk,” Ren says.
“Very,” Hux replies, “very observant indeed, Kylo Ren.” Ren’s thigh is between his legs, firm, holding him in place; Ren’s hands, his very large hands, have undone the button of his suit jacket. They rub up and down over his ribs, burning hot through the thin silky material of his shirt, kneading. “And you,” Hux says, “are taking liberties.”

Summary
Yes, he remembers Kylo Ren, in painfully intimate detail: the scrape of his hands, the heat of his body. He’s spent more than a year trying to forget, trying to avoid him, building the wall between his matters and Ren’s, and for a time he was successful. No longer.
“You should really check your email,” Ren says. “If we’re going to work together.”
Or: Kylo Ren is a menace. Hux still wants to fuck him into next Tuesday.

Summary
“You want me, General Hux,” Ren says. “You need—”
“Bantha shit,” Hux interrupts, in a gasp. His mouth feels empty. He rocks back and forth in helpless, shuddering movements, each thrust grinding against Ren’s belly, the stiff and gleaming expanse of his belt. Desperate, Ren called him, and he is, he is.

Summary
It begins with a d20. Armitage finds it by Ben’s monitor. He’s tearing through the printouts and wrappers scattered across Ben’s desk in a search for a timesheet, muttering angrily to himself. He brushes aside a mound of papers and sees the die, and the sight of it is so unexpected, so out of place, that Armitage’s hand shakes a bit, hovering over it. After all, this d20 must belong to Ben Solo, Ben Solo, who keeps a hand grip strengthener in his pencil cup, for god’s sake. The die sits under his disbelieving stare, innocuous enough. Its sides are black and worn, with the paint chipping out of the numbering.
“You play?” Ben says.
The story of Armitage Hux, Ben Solo, and a series of critical rolls.
