Summary
“Have you had any offers?”
I am the most powerful dragon this kingdom has seen in a century, said Katayama, arching his sleek neck and ruffing his mane in challenge. Any princess would be proud to call me theirs.
“You are very powerful,” agreed the King. “But that’s not what I asked.”
Katayama’s ears lay flat to his skull. No, he said curtly, while Nicholas sat straight up and knocked his head against a keystone, half stunned with pain and shock. Which you knew very well when you asked the question.
“So we are in a position to help each other out, are we not?”

Summary
“The clicking was louder now, the whining nigh unbearable, and then a big black dog covered in snowflakes barreled around the corner, nearly nailing a postdoc in the shin, as one of the more harried students hissed a frantic plea to knock it off, would you and–
“Sorry, sorry, we’ll keep it down, promise,” he was saying with that radiant smile of his, much too sunny for this time of year, and the thing of it was, he meant it, too, but it was no use, because try as they might, Nicholas Cox and his daemon had the finesse of a wrecking ball, and even though it was technically still their first semester at Yale, they’d already gotten kicked out of Sterling on four separate occasions (not counting the one with Eugene).”

Summary
“I didn’t ask for your help,” Jesse snapped.
“Well you needed it,” the second reserve said matter of factly, wriggling the teeth of the hairband back into place, and what kind of a third rate school had two reserves?
Jesse gave what her father would have called a very unladylike snort. “You certainly need all the help you can get, seeing as you’re not even properly on the team, so I hardly think you’re in a position to judge. And by the way,” Jesse sneered at the girl, checking her out from her sneakers to her bedhead, and-- fuck it, why not-- she pulled out the air quotes: “I’m not your ‘bro’ or your ‘bud,’ just so we’re clear, Eugenia.”
The reserve laughed. “By the way,” she drawled, in flawless imitation, “It’s Gene. And I’d never make that mistake with you, princess,” she finished, smirking, and Jesse’s cardigan dropped from her fingers, her cheeks flushed pink. For a minute she was actually speechless, and the Kings’ Row team snickered, no one harder than Katayama, but the girl didn’t laugh, just picked up her sweater, offering it up to her with a bow and a wink from those dark eyes, like they were both in on the joke, and that was the first time Jesse met Eugenia Labao.

Summary
“Nicholas went out with Thomas Levantis? On a date?”
Seiji asked the question with the same unnerving intensity that he brought to his early morning practices, every bit as laser focused and pointed as his flèche, and the first Bon laughed uneasily, obviously unsure of what had changed, only certain that something had, and he was none too happy about it.
“Well, yeah.”
The other Bon, a bit slower on the uptake, gave a tiny coo, like a lovestruck dove.
“Why, Katayama, were you hoping it’d be you?” -

Summary
Seiji had never really paid much attention to fairy tales, Japanese or American, but he had always loved the stories of the kitsune. Clever, mischievous, and beautiful, the fox shapeshifters could also be dangerous, especially if you were foolish enough to become entangled with one.
Seiji used to wonder how someone could be so stupid as to fall in love with such a wild, untamed creature.
He didn’t wonder, anymore.

Summary
Ilya’s hand wraps around his bare wrist and squeezes. Shane barely stops himself from collapsing to his knees.
The pressure lights up every receptor of his touch-starved nervous system, wrenching a small, pained noise from the back of his throat. Every muted sensation comes flooding back so intensely that it almost hurts. He needs Ilya to hold him down until there’s nothing inside him but quiet. He wants to sink into him and disappear.
It takes Shane an entire beat to remember where they are. Fighting against the fog in his mind, he manages to drag his gaze up to meet Ilya’s.
There’s a slow-dawning horror and understanding on Ilya’s face.
*
Or: Shane is in subdrop after their encounter in Vegas. Ilya fixes it.

Summary
“Eames, I don’t know what dictionary you’re working out of, but my definition of ‘favor’ does not entail asking someone you despise to play escort to your family’s Christmas party.”
Eames glares at him. “I’m not asking you to play escort, merely be my date."

Summary
Ross coughed from his seat across the table. Lord Hawthorn stood impassive and immaculate, his gaze slipping like a melting ice cube between Violet and Maud. His eyes remained cold, but Maud could detect a flicker in them, as though of firelight from another room. She drew in a breath like a swelling bellows, determined to bring that fire into the front room of his gaze.
“First, I’m going to make her come.” Hawthorn made a faint choking sound, and Maud’s cheeks heated with something close to glee. “And then—provided you agree, of course—you’re going to fuck her. With your prick—" another cough from Ross, this one protracted, practically tubercular. Maud cast a discerning eye about the room behind Hawthorn, “perhaps against the back of that chair.”

Summary
Two months before the end of sophomore year, Arthur lets Ariadne talk him into “making an appearance” at a party held by the captain of the soccer team, way to hell and gone out in the suburbs. The house is over-sized, the music too loud, and no one, save a half dozen people, can remember Arthur’s name. It’s pretty much his idea of hell.
And that’s all before he chugs four beers in the kitchen to avoid talking to anyone and somehow ends up in a closet during an impromptu game of Seven Minutes in Heaven.

Summary
Looking at his prim and proper roommate, Nicholas found it hard to believe this was the same Seiji who had made such incredibly sexy sounds the previous night while masturbating under his blanket to whatever he'd been reading on his phone. Sounds that had gotten Nicholas so hot that he had ended up jerking off in his own bed at the same time.
Nicholas had been so turned on by the experience that he had immediately wanted more. Tonight he would put his plan into action.
