Summary
Anger fueled Jedediah down the steps and up Constitution Avenue. Distractions were everywhere: the star-dappled sky, the buildings with their neon signs, the people, the vehicles crawling down the roads, all the smells, noise of nature and city clashing. An entire world to explore before dawn came crawling.
None of it mattered. Not without Octavius.

Jeeves and the Study Room Incident by clumsyghost
Fandoms: Jeeves & Wooster, Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse

Summary
For a good moment I considered just burying my head into it and hoping Jeeves would leave me be, but courage prevailed. I find myself on my feet once more. Jeeves watches me approach with his usual neutral expression askew. There is a guarded warmth in those piercing eyes that compels me forward.
My foot catches the edge of the bed frame. I do not fall into his arms, per se, but I just as nearly did. Not the graceful wooing one strives for.
Wooster wooing woes.

Summary
Al has that guarded look on his face, the one he wears when he does not wish to share his thoughts. It’s rare that Al shuts him out. Everyone deserves their privacy, but for someone who insists that Riley share all his emotions, Al sure keeps some of his own close to his heart.

Summary
“For the record, I know you very well, Riley Dugan.” Falling in love was easy. Giving someone your heart - that took a faith Awalmir did not quite have in Riley. The other man’s words nagged at him, stirring a small part of him, a tiny whisper, really, of fear.

Summary
The green tea was bitter, much like his discovery that the Dugan siblings had been keeping a secret from him. Al had dismissed the first few days of odd behavior, the hushed conversations that dried up whenever he entered the room. He had given Riley subtle hints that he was aware something was up, but for once the Marine had not caved to politeness and shared his secret.

Summary
“Why are you here?” Diplomatic politeness be damned. What business did the powerful sorcerer have with Camelot? To propose an alliance? Or perhaps the opposite, a declaration of war.
“I have come here,” Emrys replied slyly with Merlin’s smirk, “to dance with you, Arthur Pendragon.”

Summary
Over the years, they had arrived at this moment several times, this will-we-won’t-we, the breath before a plunge, the leap across the chasm. They danced close, neither courageous enough to speak or confirm, always, always settling back into the comfortable routine of denial. An offhand comment here, a hand held there.
