Summary
Med school is hell. Being broke is worse. Violet’s solution? Make a deal with the devil — and he answers to Riorson.
But when their worlds collide, Violet learns this deal is about more than money — it’s about power, politics, and survival. Oh and the fact she wants to climb that man like a tree.

Summary
Winter has settled over Basgiath in the way it always does – harshly, decisively, and with absolutely no consideration for the fact that there is something very very wrong with the marked ones. Violet, however, cannot for the life of her figure out what that something is, and if there is one thing that Violet Sorrengail is unable to let go of, it’s a problem she does not yet know the answer to.
Written for the RQ 2025 Winter prompt fest!

Summary
“Fuck.” Shane melted into the strong hand at his neck, the pressure over his throat and the heat of the Alpha’s palm. “Fuck, that’s–” his eyes started to flutter closed, his knees going weak, but he heard the Alpha huff a laugh and immediately stiffened again.
“Don’t do that.” he warned. “Don’t laugh like me letting you put your hand on my throat is predictable submissive Omega behavior and you're making fun of me."
“That is not why i was laughing.” Ilya squeezed Shane’s throat lightly, his thumb pressing over the suppressant patch covering the Omega's bonding spot and blocking his sweet scent. “I thought you would fight it, fight submitting. But you didn’t.”
“No I–” Shane swallowed hard. “I like it.”
“Good.” Ilya smiled slow and a little dangerous, running his tongue over his bottom lip and then over the sharp ends of his fangs before he leaned in and growled into the Omega’s ear. “Now get on your knees.”

Summary
The closet in the hall holds the thicker comforter that he sleeps with in the winter. Shane doesn’t recognize his own hands as he yanks it out from the top shelf, watching it tumble onto the floor and trail behind him as he hefts it into his bedroom, laying down on his bed and pulling it over him.
He ducks his head underneath, blanketing his own sight in blue-tinted darkness. The ringing in his ears lessens, the ache behind his eyes softens. Shane knows what he’s done, but maybe if he just doesn’t think the word, it doesn’t have to be true. Maybe he can ignore all of these implications and keep doing what he’s been doing for so long, avoiding the change that looms over him like an executioner’s blade.
The nest is still wrong.
The realization makes his breath catch in his throat. Panic collapses like a dying star in his chest—not an outward explosion, loud and impossible to ignore, but a quiet implosion, the integrity of his choices quickly falling away in the face of instincts he’s been suppressing like this for five years.
-
Or, Shane and Ilya spontaneously bond. Neither of them are ready for the domino effect of consequences.
