    Summary

    If there’s a truism in his profession, it’s that fear is a better bet than love. A man fears you, you both know where you stand. Love, though, love’s a right fucker. Steals your footing out from under you, leaves you dizzy and useless as a green-arsed cabin boy on his first day at sea. But he doesn’t want to be thinking about this tonight. That’s why he’s drinking.

    (Four months later, Ed's on a bender in Nassau when Stede finally tracks him down.)

    Summary

    Lieutenant Malcolm Reed has never been much for family holidays, and his memories of Christmases past were far from warm and pleasant. Yet when the crew of the Enterprise find themselves back on Earth in time for Christmas, Malcolm is soon drawn into the chaos that is the Tucker Family Christmas.

    He'd been able to survive keeping his feelings for his best friend hidden for nearly six years; but spending the holiday with Trip -- and Trip's well-meaning, but definitely meddling family -- may prove to be too much to handle...

    Summary

    The stones always hurt, but Geralt would hazard to say that the looks on the faces of the people throwing them hurt more.

    Summary

    Anthony J. Crowley's life seems like it's finally falling into place: his floral shop has begun to gain an undercurrent of appreciation in the design elite of London, and he might have even finally found a boyfriend who looks just right lounging on his Tenreiro sofa. Things seem almost perfect, until one day the empty shop across the street is leased to frumpy fellow Oxford alumni, who doesn't seem to remember Crowley nearly as well as he remembers him, which really shouldn't bother him as much as it does - it was ten years ago after all, and it wasn't even that good of a kiss.
