    "Stop asking me if it's okay. If I want it. You're always, like—whatever. I'm not one of your fucking girls, okay? If I don't like it, I'll stop you. I can make you stop."

    Summary

    “You accused me of treating this like a game. I am sorry if I’ve led you to believe that it is only a game—though I won't deny that part of it is.” Bren gives a disarming smile. “My life is either games or murder, after all.”
    “Or mail fraud,” Thelyss says dryly, not even a little disarmed.
    “The mail fraud is a sort of game as well.”
    A sigh. “Is this your way of telling me that you intend to continue playing?”
    Bren smiles again, sharper. “If you would let me.”

    (In which Bren Aldric Ermendrud decides to seduce the Shadowhand and finds that the best way to convince someone to be vulnerable with you is to be vulnerable in turn.)

    Summary

    It’s... the stupidest thing.
    Essek grits his teeth. It’s a trained habit - a way to redirect some of the pain without showing any symptoms. A Shadowhand never shows his hand, and it is this he excels at - a poker face, a well-concealed illusion of poise and grandeur and tolerance.
    But today, he is unlucky.
    Because there is little that escapes the keen mind of Widogast - and here he has quite the disadvantage.
    It is, quite literally, his least favored terrain.
    Stairs.

    When keeping mages in an enclosed terrarium, please keep in mind the following: They need lots of places to hide and explore. Provide enrichment opportunities for them to keep them from getting bored - plenty of books, hidden treasures, and secret chambers. And if you're feeling bold, think about including an Anti-Magic staircase just to challenge them. See what they do with it.

    Summary

    Lestat used to seem to drink life itself, to hold so much of it inside of him. He used to feel like putting your bare hand on a furnace and feeling the ferocious roar of fire inside. Heat and motion, his Lestat.

    Or: Louis takes care of Lestat, then Lestat takes care of him.
