    Summary

    She’s still hunched over beside the dumpsters, hands on her knees, heaving up air because there’s nothing left in her stomach. She reaches out a shaky hand to give him a thumbs up. “Seriously, man, I’m fine. All good.”

    Something inside him twists and squeezes brutally. Is this what this place is doing to her? “For fuck’s sake, Syd. I’m giving you a ride home.”

    Summary

    It hadn’t been like, premeditated. Well, it had been in the sense that they had discussed it a bit beforehand. But it wasn’t like she had been playing the long game this whole time, trying to get into his pants.

    It just sort of… happened. It was their day off, they were working on a new menu, everything they made had been shit, she started getting chippy with him, he asked her what was really going on…

    So she told him.

    -

    Carmy and Sydney start sleeping together, no strings attached.

    Summary

    Carmy ran warm. She saw him strip himself of his woolen jacket and brave Midwestern cold with bare arms and miraculously be without any goosebumps more times than she could count. He surely didn’t need the fuzzy packets of warmth, but he had them. Undoubtedly, he had them for her. Sydney would complain about her constant cold fingers and dry knuckles often, she shouldn’t have been surprised Carmy wasn’t just listening but cataloging the facts about her into some place in his brain. And yet—

    It made her ache, to be thought of like that.

     

    Or, when Carmy and Sydney finally start dating, everyone knows. Everyone, that is, except for Sydney.

    Summary

    Kings, even new ones, were not supposed to long for their menservants. They shouldn't let their eyes linger on their wrists, the plump of their lips, or the shape of their thighs. Arthur knew this, but he still wanted. There was nothing about Merlin he didn't want.
