    Summary

    Neuvillette is aware of his misunderstandings about human behavior so he is resigned to continuing his search in looking for cues. Wriothesley has been nothing but polite and distant. Every time Neuvillette is turned looking at Wriothesley, Wriothesley is looking away.
    Look at me, Neuvillette’s eyes plead over the fluke of his glass, a silent begging that thrums with a desperation he has only ever held for Wriothesley.

    Neuvillette, after the return of his authority severs the shackles of his isolation, is looking for a mate. Wriothesley is a considerable candidate. He makes sure to vet him thoroughly.

    Summary

    It felt right to be with Alhaitham, this resolute stranger, even if it was just to linger next to him, sun overhead, voices of patrons nearby overlapping. He would do this. But where was this hesitance springing from?

    Asking someone on a date, well, he must have done this before, surely, even if it surfaced as a blank. Even if he hadn’t, there was a first time for everything. The hesitance curdled, a harrowing sensation, akin to erosion in the gut of his being. Just what was this?

    He couldn’t recall, but no longer could he stall, with time pressing and Alhaitham’s presence threatening to separate from his side, where he was the only receiver of that pressing, omniscient gaze.

    “Listen,” he began. Alhaitham’s expression failed to change, and neither did Alhaitham move. Only by speaking it could Alhaitham’s mind be known. “I hope I’m not being too forward- that is, I hope I’m interpreting things correctly, but I’d like to do this again, if you’re also interested.”

    (An amnesiac Kaveh professes his interest in handsome stranger Alhaitham. Once recovered, Kaveh is compelled by his and Alhaitham’s mutual honesty to reveal his true feelings despite his own self-doubts.)

    Summary

    In a world of whispered expectations and carefully arranged futures, your life was meant to unfold quietly beside your sister’s—until the man promised to her began to look at you instead.

    The Duke of Ravencourt was meant to be hers. Courted her with duty, danced with her out of tradition. But slowly—delicately—his eyes began to wander. To you.

    Summary

    That sickness. It churned relentlessly in his gut. He flicked, flicked, flicked through the cameras, metal fingertip tapping against the monitor to capture you at every angle. He couldn't bring himself to admit how many times he had zoomed in and brought his hand to the screen in a pathetic gesture just to imagine he could feel the warmth of your cheek against his palm. His reason for life, granted to him by you, stunted and stalled by...well. By his death.

    He's back, now. He'd endured countless horrors and torn open the gates of hell to claw his way back to you. At last, he could return to his purpose. To kneel at your feet and present his neck to your boot. Nod his head yes and bow to your every order. Be right where he belongs. But...

    In his absence, you've started taking care of yourself. Poorly. Very poorly. And you're so fucking stubborn, refuting his help. It makes his jaw hurt with how hard he clenches his teeth.

    This night, though, this blessed, perfect night, you finally let him back in. You finally let him further. It's more than anything he could have ever dreamed. He should know better by now, but you make him so hopeless he can’t help himself. He knows good things for him never last.
