    Summary

    Being a lifeguard wasn't on Andrew's list of dream jobs, but he'd hoped the overnight shift would at least give him silence. Nobody warned him the shift would come with Neil, the mysterious swimmer with the scars and the disastrous backstroke. Andrew is just there to watch the water. But everything changes when the swimmer in the water starts watching him back.

    Summary

    Well, their critter was actually a tiny, bony boy, with the most striking eyes Andrew had ever seen. They were blue, not like the ocean, or the sky; but like ice, cracking under the surface with darker blue veins, and open so wide in shock that they looked like pools of infinite depth. Like on his hand, his face and neck had more scattered scales intersected with white scars—one on his left cheek, right under his eye, one crossing the corner of his red, full lips and another peeking from under the collar of his shirt. Contrasting against the vibrant blue of his eyes, the boy had long, curly red-hair that almost gleamed in the sunlight, glued to his humid skin and hiding its full length behind his body. Andrew looked down, and contained a frown as he noticed what the boy wore—a long-sleeved shirt and boxers; and nothing else. Curiously, his feet had the same webbed fingers and little claws as his hands.

    “Caught you,” Andrew said.

    Summary

    Neil hasn't been in the same room as Andrew for almost two months and he feels like he has a gaping wound on his side in his absence.

    Summary

    Neil is the most attractive person Andrew has ever seen in his entire life. Too bad that Andrew can't express that fact (not opinion) properly to him. It all should be fine, it's not like Neil doesn't know he's hot, right?

    Summary

    The Waffle House was twenty eight miles from campus. Far enough that no one they knew would ever bother. Close enough that it felt like home.

    And the staff, they loved them.

    No one ever asked questions. But one night when Neil came in with a bruise blooming high on his throat and Andrew looked half wrecked from giving it, their usual server, a woman in her fifties with glittery nails and a tired smile, just said, “Y’all look like you had a good night,” and brought over a plate of cinnamon toast on the house.

    Summary

    When Andrew came to Palmetto, he never thought it might become home – and even now he’s still not sure it is. Despite living there for nearly six years now, he doesn’t really feel like he belongs. He feels like he’s drifting, simply surviving day after day of whatever life has in store for him. Then Neil Josten shows up – a redhead with a fiery attitude and a million secrets, and Andrew's interest is instantly captured.

    But the thing is…Neil’s not the only one with secrets in this town. Everyone seems to have something they’ve kept hidden in the dark. And as soon as one thread gets pulled, they all seem to come unraveled…

    Featuring second chances, making mistakes, budding relationships, and as many fall shenanigans as possible – welcome to the smalltown world of Palmetto!

    Summary

    Neil Josten only has one year at Palmetto - one year that he'd planned to stay under the radar, keeping his true omega status hidden, while playing a sport he loves before moving on.

    But that was before he met Andrew Minyard. Before Riko drugged him into having a false heat. Before Andrew so carefully helped him through it.

    Now Neil is questioning what it truly means to be an omega - and what exactly the price would be if he wanted to stay.

    Summary

    Neil swallows back blood. “Andrew.”

    “Abram,” Andrew returns.

    “I’m losing my mind. I think I’m losing my mind.”

    “You aren’t,” Andrew says, so easy, so certain. “You’re tired. You’re scared. That’s it.”

    Neil grits his teeth. “I’m,” he exhales shakily. “I’m – seeing things,” he admits.

    —

    In which Andrew gets into a car accident one week into the off-season, and everything is fine right up until he starts dying every night in Neil’s dreams. Things get worse, and then they get better.

    —

    Or, how trauma and triggers persist even after decades of safety, and how Andrew and Neil navigate them and take care of each other throughout it all.

    Summary

    Neil was always going to run, the choice to reveal his name and hidden designation never should've swayed Andrew, but they had.

    Neil had swayed him, and now Andrew can only reckon with the fact that he was stupid enough to want again.

    It's those thoughts that are circling his head when the car pulls up. It's not smooth, he watches as the driver goes over the curb, though Andrew doesn't care enough to tell them off for their horrible park job.

    Not until Neil fucking Josten practically collapses out of the driver's seat, beat to all hell and with red hair to boot.

    Andrew is at his side before his conscious mind realizes, his body already having made the choice for him. He smells blood, and fear, but they're overpowered by the sweet scent of strawberry sorbet pouring out from Neil's neck.

    His mouth starts to water as Neil practically folds into his arms, pupils blowing wide as he catches the heat scent of slick in the air. He has a second to curse before Neil is looking up at him, glazed eyes blinking heavily before getting stuck on Andrew's face.

    "Andrew," He says his name like no one else ever has, possibly ever will.

    Summary

    None of this was new to them yet, but it still felt momentous because this was a Neil who was his, who’d let him claim him in front of his family and his teammates, who’d been wearing his clothes and his marks for months on end now and who was delighted at the thought of Andrew wanting a future with him permanently, semantically synonymous with forever, a much too scary word for now, but maybe not in the future.
    Future.
    Andrew’d never thought he could have something like that, hadn’t really planned to make it past thirteen and now here he was, he was an adult, he was safe, he was in his own bed in his own home with a man who would quite literally die for him, who he was planning a future with. He’d never planned for this, had nowhere to store it in his mind, in his body, so he put it into Neil instead.

    Summary

    He turns, ready to abandon the dance floor and their friends once and for all, and then stops dead in his tracks.

    There’s a man at the table, with Andrew. He’s leaning on it, both forearms flat, putting his back into a suggestive arch. He’s talking to Andrew, eyes lidded and entirely too much tongue escaping his mouth, and Andrew…hasn’t asked him to leave.

    Neil watches, frozen, as Andrew takes the man in, and then responds, only for the man to lean in even closer.

    Neil can understand the connections he has now, the friendships he’s built, the fact that he has people to rely on outside of himself.

    There is a quiet truth he knows. One that Andrew and him circle around so tentatively, that understanding of why Andrew asked him to stay, and why Neil needed to hear it so badly in the first place.

    This though, this is something Neil Josten doesn’t quite understand, but Abram has always been so intimately acquainted with jealousy.

    Summary

    Laurent felt his mouth twist. “You want me to stay, but not enough to do anything about it.”

    Damen’s expression softened. “I wouldn’t make you stay,” he said, “for the world.” He said, “Laurent, it would be such a sacrifice.”

    Now that Nicaise was looking for the signs, they were everywhere. No more spontaneous kisses. No more casual touches. No more muffled laughter spilling upstairs from the living room after Nicaise had gone to bed.

    Summary

    “What is there for you to think about?” asked Laurent, his tone unpleasant. “I am given to understand you were quite the ardent pursuer of women before…” A tense hand gesture. “If you don’t like her, just say so. There are other women.”

    Summary

    It wasn’t as if Patroclus wasn’t talking to him, was mean to him or he deprived him of his attention, which would be the worst in all of those things; no, he was the exact opposite of all those things. He was perfect in every single aspect, he was everything anyone could want from a partner.

    Yet it did not stop Achilles from feeling like he was watching a one-man-theatre when he was talking to him.

    Achilles is worried about his relationship with Patroclus, his worries come true.

    Summary

    Achilles comes to Aphrodite’s monster maze with a prophecy, a deadline on his strength, and a very simple plan: claim the Aphroi, keep his power, save his kingdom.

    Patroclus, the Aphroi in question, has plans to poison Achilles and escape on his own.

    The island has other ideas. Between hellhounds, sirens, drakons, and three very tedious trials, Achilles and Patroclus are forced into an uneasy partnership that starts to look less and less like conquest and more like a joint escape attempt.

    A story about devotion that isn’t forced, and what happens when a weapon decides he’d rather be a person.
