    Summary

    "Armand?" said the man with the silver hair. "Hey man, it'd be great if you could weigh in here."

    "My name is Amadeo, sirs."

    The silver-haired man stared at him.

    "You see?" said the blond man after a moment, folding his arms. "This is why I have long mistrusted the craven commercialism of online recommendations. Daniel, when it comes to magic, you really should learn to rely on word of mouth instead."

    Summary

    “I’m Armand,” the man says. He folds himself elegantly into the chair across from Daniel, with all the poise of a ballerina. “Thank you for agreeing to this.”
    Daniel’s got absolutely no idea how to reply to that. The normal canned responses—my pleasure, no problem, you’re welcome—would probably make him sound like a pervert. Which he is not. If anyone’s a pervert in this room, it’s the hot guy specifically hiring an escort—sorry, heat cycle relief provider—Daniel’s age, instead of just jerking off for a few days. “It’s my job,” Daniel says at last, shrugging in a way he hopes is casual.


    Daniel signed up as a "cycle relief provider"—pseudo-medical sex worker—at Progress Clinical as part of a story. He didn't anticipate anyone would actually hire him. For better or for worse, Armand does.

    Summary

    Spock knows what humans say about him. His ears are too keen to miss the whispers. He has been referred to as Kirk’s pet. As his servant. As his bodyguard. As his shadow.

    A relationship does not exist among humans that corresponds to what Spock is to Kirk. In Earth’s past, perhaps, it did, but it has been lost. He has read enough Earth literature to have found it in Lancelot and Arthur, Sam and Frodo, Olivier and Roland. But there is no name for it, no reference to search for. And when humans recognize it for what it is, there is this trace of disgust. Because it is unequal. Because they feel it is shameful to be in the position that Spock is.

    It is the deeply held loyalty of one man toward another. It need not be returned; most often it is not, or not in the same way. Spock felt some of that for Pike. But what he feels for Kirk staggers him with its strength. It speaks deeply to an instinct within him which he cannot deny. Not that he chooses to protect Kirk. Not that he wants to follow him. That he must. That he will. That, in the second between danger and thought, his body moves on its own.

    Summary

    I'm not as sad as I should be. That's what makes me sad. The Titanic sinks, Patrick dies, and rather than wait at home to meet the new heir of Downton, Mary tries her luck in London, where she meets Sir Richard Carlisle instead. [Alternate S1]
