Summary
“Whoa, hey, shh,” the woman touches her upper arm solicitously, and when Gideon shrugs her off she lifts both hands up, palms open. “I was only joking, silly. Pushing your buttons. Don’t you joke with your friends?”
Gideon settles slowly, lips still pressed in a thin line but less ready to bolt. “I’m trying to say I’d like us to be friends. On an ongoing basis. Not just one-life-saved, one-drink, one-night. Real friends.” That worms its way right into the center of something old and knotted in Gideon’s chest. She’s not stupid, this woman very obviously wants something extra too. But she can count on one hand the amount of times someone’s said that to her in her short life. “So, what do you say?”
Haltingly, Gideon nods.
Gideon thinks she’s getting herself a sugar mama. Harrow feels she’s getting sabotaged by a scrupleless competitor for the next official Lyctoral appointment in the Los Angeles First Central Church of the Great Resurrection. Cytherea knows she’s getting an excellent bargain for the price she’s paying, but that won’t stop her from wringing the most bang possible out of her buck.

Summary
“Doesn’t this make you feel so alive? Our power: us, here, together?” Ianthe breathes. Harrow glances over at her. Ianthe is looking into the far distance, eyes bright with a hungry fervor, pinpricks of blood-red excitement high on her cheeks. This system’s star has a rosy hue, burning colder late in its life cycle, and the daylight offsets Ianthe’s usual sickly pallor. The Eighth Saint glows in her dirty white robes, looking warm and alive here on this planet in a way she never does in the icy illumination of their shared shuttle.
Harrow hates her.
(From the request: ‘dark universe Harrianthe Lyctors, cruelty and fucked up dynamics,’ a story in which Ianthe gets what she wants, but Ianthe doesn’t tend to want things that are all that good for her.)

Summary
The king turned and pressed the (still generously full) wineskin into Aris’s hands. He leaned up conspiratorially and Aris had no choice but to bend his ear, catching a whiff of alcohol on the king’s breath. “It seems poor Costis’s homing pigeon sense of duty can’t allow me a moment of peace, but I’ve been told in no uncertain terms to go to bed. You’ll keep your friend occupied and out of trouble for me, yes?”
“Uhh,” said Aris.
“Well said,” agreed the king, clapping Aris on the shoulder, and then he disappeared through the closet doors on the opposite side of the room, and did not come back out.

Summary
At first, she had slept. She’s not even sure how long it lasted; how can one mark time in the white blank bliss of oblivion? But then, the dreams had begun. Just snippets, initially. An alien ship, familiar faces; Ianthe’s disdainful washed-out loveliness, the dark, unassuming features of the Emperor Undying, the violently unwelcome Ortus- no, Gideon the First.
And yet, Gideon’s (her Griddle, not that desiccated ass) roguish, lopsided grin is excruciatingly absent. Lucid dreaming is clearly a pernicious fiction, because Harrow can’t manage even for one brief instant to relive the certainty of those strong arms eclipsing her like gravity in the weightlessness of dense saltwater. In rare moments of clarity she finds herself wishing that, if the dreams weren’t to be of Gideon, they might cease entirely and leave her to rest in tranquil nothingness.
They do not.

Summary
Gideon had insisted on Harrow’s body remaining fully clothed, a pretense so absurd in light of the situation that Ianthe had struggled to suppress a laughing fit when Gideon first said it. But Ianthe had (mostly) been circumspect with her amusement, and later, when Harrow - no, correction, when Gideon was stumbling over her tongue, saying (in that voice with such a familiar timbre but completely unfamiliar heat) “please,” and “god,” and “I need-,” Ianthe had simply slipped the loose black trousers down around Harrow’s bony knees and let Gideon keep her tunic and robe. Ianthe is, above all things, self-possessed; she isn’t about to lose her hold on the chivalrous little cavalier now by tightening her grip too hastily. After all, without Gideon to toy with, how else is she supposed to pass the time on this lonely cruiser limping along through an even lonelier corner of space?

Summary
“What’s wrong with a little quid pro quo?" Ianthe asks, sweetly. "I’m giving you exactly what I know you need-” Harrow’s-no, Gideon's nostrils flare at that, “and in return you’re giving me something that I want very much.”
Post-HtN Ianthe has missed her chance with Harrow, hopefully only until some later date. In the mean time, there's always the naïve cavalier who wears Harrow's body awkwardly, like it's two sizes too small. Gideon may play-act the immovable object at first, but Ianthe is at her core an unstoppable force, and she learned long ago precisely how to identify fault lines in solid rock.

Summary
“Hollander’s Metros have had a challenging few years, with back-to-back knee injuries and a concussion keeping the two-time Stanley Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist off the ice for three consecutive postseason runs. Hollander is apparently back to fighting trim, but everyone’s wondering if that will still be true come April. The Metros have promised that they’re behind their franchise star one hundred percent, but there are signs they might be hedging their bets. The Metros announced last week that they have penned a deal with San Francisco’s dynamic young Russian star, center Ilya Rozanov. The move has sent shockwaves through MLH, as San Francisco was widely expected to sign a contract extension with Rozanov, who became a restricted free agent in June.”

Summary
“Do you want to fuck Svetlana?
Shane dropped his phone. “What? No. Are you fucking crazy?”
“I am not crazy,” Ilya said. “But I would like to be fucking. Maybe both of you. At once.”
“Too bad you only have one dick then,” Shane said, incredulous.
“My innocent sweet boy, Hollander. Never had a threesome before?”
“I could barely handle one girl at a time,” Shane confessed. “Much less two. Because, Rozanov, I am gay.”
+++
Ilya and Svetlana propose a threesome for old time's sake. Shane learns that sometimes, experimentation can be very, very rewarding. An exploration of identity and desire and, ultimately, being true to yourself.
