    Summary

    In near future America, after the government discovers a human trafficking ring that considers itself a kinky secret society, the Lead Deviser offers four of the society's key members a unique bargain: spend a few months in Contrivance Headquarters doing some platonic experiential power dynamic education with her, in exchange for all related charges and threats being dropped, or face Contrivance—the Devisers' annual, televised death game—along with many of their friends. It's an easy choice, but there's still a lot to face when two worlds of secrets, power, pain, and love collide. They might just have more in common than they think.

    Crossover AU set about a year after I'll Give You Book 3 and in the middle of Contrivance Book 1 (Chapters 8-31), in a world where those timelines have always aligned, featuring all major characters from both series and set primarily within Contrivance Headquarters.
