    Summary

    After the conclusion of the Beheading Game at the Green Chapel, Gawain agrees to stay for the duration of the New Year's celebrations at Castle de Hautdesert, but catches Bertilak and persuades him that their bargain has not quite been fulfilled. Perhaps against good advice but with his head no longer at stake - which he isn't thinking with anyway, Gawain repurposes his fateful sash from an object of shame to a lord-ensnaring trice.

     

    “Have at me with whatever weapon you wilt, my good knight,” and with a wink, he turned and pressed on. “I will be thus at the appointed hour.” Gawain staggered after him, not thinking himself a good knight, but certainly a man, this once more succumbing to want and wish. Of course, their game was not yet done; after, Gawain would beware. “More besides, I give you the girdle,” said Bertilak as Gawain fell into step beside him, “gold at the hems and green as my gown. A token to remind you, as you walk among high lords and ladies, of our game in the Green Chapel, chance between chivalrous knights.”
    “Oh,” said Gawain, twisting the silk between his fingers, “yes, my lord, I will take it. I thank you.”

    Summary

    Gansey dared one last glance towards Ronan and Adam before dashing away. If it was to assure himself this wasn’t a dream, or to give him something to dream about later, he wasn’t sure. But he could have sworn his last look was met with Adam’s gaze. He had no way of knowing when Adam’s head had turned, whether it had given him enough time to understand exactly what Gansey had been doing, the entirety of the situation at hand.

     

    Or, while Gansey visits them, Adam and Ronan accidentally leave a door open while having sex, leading the three of them to deal with the complicated (and horny) consequences.
