Summary
Months after the Prentiss attack, Martin Blackwood is having a bad day.
Relationships among his coworkers have fallen apart, their boss is stalking them, and no one can quite shake the feeling that danger is still close by. Martin's doing his best to hold everyone together, but tea and sympathy aren't working like they used to. The sole bright spot is that it's much easier to have a crush on Jon now that he's decided Martin isn't a murderer. Mostly, though, Martin's just glad to make it through the day...
...until he wakes up and has to live the same bad day all over again.
Martin finds himself caught in a loop, reliving the 19th November over and over again, struggling to understand why this is happening and what he has to do to get out. His dear coworker Sasha is acting very strange, spiders keep crawling over everything, and at the center of it all is a man with long, sharp hands, who might be to blame... or might be the key to escaping all of this.
(Or: Michael, Not-Sasha, and Annabelle have a three-sided tug-of-war over Martin's brain, while Martin hooks up with the guy who got him into this mess and keeps trying to Fifty-First-Dates his boss.)

Summary
He looked like Michael — but at the same time, he didn’t. He was shorter than him, for certain, though he still looked to be rather tall. His hair, the same golden as Michael’s, was tied back into braids rather than loose curls. He was dressed in a baby blue vest over a pink shirt, and a thick, green-and-yellow scarf around his neck that he fidgeted with as he stared at her.
“I— I really don’t, uh, don’t mean you any— any harm! You just, uh— scared me…”
“Scared you? Who did you think I was?”
“Not so loud! There’s a, a monster here, you know? You don’t want it to— to find you.”

Summary
Melanie is grateful to Jon three times.
The first, for coming back at all. Not that she missed him, not that she’s glad he’s not dead. But the last few months in the Institute have felt hollow and it’s a sickening relief to have a target for her anger again.
The second, for asking to remove the bullet, and allowing her to refuse. This is a more complicated gratitude, because she doesn’t want it. But she can’t bring herself to wish he’d kept this meagre measure of control, of choice, from her. So she is grateful, and she hates it.
The third, for being the obvious monster everyone has their eye on, so they never think to ask about the blood under her nail, don’t wonder when she slips out the door of the archives with a knife in hand. Maybe she should feel guiltier for letting Jon take the fall, knowing full well that everyone involved in their little intervention has at least as much blood on their hands. But she still hates him just enough to be able to swallow down the guilt, so she lets Basira threaten him and swears that she won’t let any of her victims make it back to the Institute with their stories.

Summary
If you already write smut, this guide is not for you.
And why yes, I do teach sex ed sometimes. You’re going to wonder.
So, you want to write smut. But you don’t feel smutty. Maybe you’ve never personally felt smutty. Maybe the smut words won’t happen. Maybe it’s performance anxiety. Maybe it’s meds. Maybe it’s stress. Maybe it’s WORDS about SEX on the INTERNET, and you CANNOT.
But your story needs smut, and that’s valid. Maybe your plot hinges on it. Maybe you just want to reward your characters with some nice, juicy orgasms. Maybe you want the explicit rating because you know people like explicit content, and you want to learn a new skill as a writer. All valid.
So, we like to outline our stories. Can we outline the sex scenes? Yeah, kinda!
