    Summary

    “You, uh, are strange when you’re Jasper.”
    “How so?”
    “It’s like, you’re you, you know? Caring and polite and sweet Bill, and then you’re not.”

     
    There's tension on set. There's some character bleed. It goes exactly the way you can probably imagine.

    Summary

    “Do I have your attention?”

    Jasper thinks about that moment a lot, more so these days. The truth is that Guy had his attention before then, from moment one. The pup with his cup, outside a place he didn’t belong, doing work he shouldn’t be doing, roped into a world vastly beyond his knowledge and understanding. Some would say Guy was damned from that moment on. Jasper prefers to blame it on the Talamasca, Helen roping this poor boy into the mire.

    Or perhaps Guy was doomed at birth, and if that were the case, then so was Jasper. It’s befitting cruelty, that it should take a century for Jasper to play catchup, so their fates could properly intertwine.

    Summary

    Jasper swipes back to his email and hits the audio file on the next message. This, he’s already heard. He listened to it right after closing the lid to his coffin last morning—fell asleep listening to it, even, the staticky recording echoing in his ears. It’s the whooshing heartbeat of their son, the best ambient noise there could ever be in the world. Their son. Jasper can’t help the grin creeping over his face.
    It’s a damn good thing Guy’s naturally oblivious, or else he’d know that he’s got Jasper wrapped around his pinkie finger. The boy could ask him for Houseman’s head and Jasper’d do whatever it took to serve it to him on a silver platter.

    The last trimester is probably the worst few months Guy Anatole's ever lived through, and that's including what happened in November in London.

    Summary

    It’s ridiculous, Guy keeps thinking. Dinner date, with some rich guy, and he isn’t expected to whore. Four hundred dollars is burning a hole in his pocket. There’s going to be four hundred more.

    Guy wants to laugh: he wouldn’t pay himself $800. What kind of man is going to be on the other side of this door?

    --

    So, for better or for worse, I promise you: this is not actually a rentboy!AU.

    Summary

    “I expect you’ll have a dreary few weeks doing puzzles with the missus? Eating microwaved foods and celebrating your capitalist American customs.”

    Daniel merely rolls his eyes at the bait, fixes the strap of his satchel over his shoulder. “Yeah. How’d you guess?”

    The boy doesn’t respond. He only acknowledges Daniel with a brief glance. “Enjoy yourself. Don’t miss me too much.”

    Professor Molloy resides in the gloomy, fire-and-brimstone walls of St. Thomas University over the Winter break — circa the year 2000. Christmas plans: survive his second divorce, deal with his feelings for a random, online stranger and handle the tension with his obnoxious, European TA, who he’s now stuck with for the next few weeks.
