Summary
"So you like that, then?" Amber asked me opaquely. "Do you enjoy it when I choose to torment you? When I 'speak plainly', as you've so often demanded of me in the past? Well? Is this more to your taste? Would you like it if I kept on speaking to you this way, and telling you exactly what to do?"
"I like it when you speak to me at all," I said tightly, clenching my fists at my sides and staring at her raised, clothed knee longingly. I wanted, impetuously, to push her skirt aside and run my hand over her long, slender leg. Wanted to kiss up it slowly, and then nibble at the crease just behind her knee to see if that spot was ticklish...
In which the quarrel is untangled, Amber is given her dues, and Fitz is brought willingly to his knees.

Summary
It would be easy, comfortable, to sit down before the settee, stretch his legs towards the heat of the fire, curl an arm around the slim muscle of Tharkay’s calf and his fingers around the fine bones of Tharkay’s ankle, above the ropey line of scars where shackles left their mark in the Blue Mountain. He might lay his head against Tharkay’s knee from that position, as he listens to Granby speaking.
The thought is at least not as craven as the desires that usually hook into Laurence’s gut when he joins Tharkay late in the drawing room; when they are alone.

Summary
After the success of Hank Anderson and the RK800, "Connor", the Detroit Police Department takes on a new RK900 unit. Unfortunately for the RK900, he is partnered with the DPD's most volatile, ill-tempered, and aggressive officer: Gavin Reed.
As both their assignment and their relationship grows more complex, RK900 is forced to come to terms with his own deviancy, and things begin to go in a direction nobody expected.

Summary
Gavin grunts and spits on the carpet, still on all fours. He leans back, looks up to RK900 and, for the second time in the short time he’s known it, Gavin stops to chew on how much he despises that the android was designed to be taller than he is. It has gone back to its trademark hand-joined-at-its-back posture, composed as ever and without so much as a scratch.
There is, however, a strange glint to its steely eyes, and one of its eyebrows is set slightly higher than the other.
‘I’m looking forward to seeing you at the DPD on Thursday, detective.'
After Lt Anderson’s sudden resignation, Detective Gavin Reed has had his hands full with cases of deviancy. Tasked with finding the rogue machines and turning them to scrap metal alloy, he’s always worked better alone. This time, however, he’s been assigned a partner: RK900, the most advanced android prototype to date.Canon-divergent AU in which Connor failed his mission, the android revolution is simmering slowly across the city slums and it's up to everyone's favorite disaster partners to prevent shit from hitting the fan (if they're not too busy with their mutual pining and being in denial about it).
