    Summary

    His eyes are at once dead and horribly, horribly alive. The milky film over his cornea does little to hush the luminous golden brown of his irises, huge around pupils so shrunken that Martin can hardly see them.
    Jonathan Sims blinks. Then he frowns.
    “Am I to take it you’ve never met a vampire, then?”
    Oh, Martin is going to get a rubbish review.

    Or,

    Struggling for income, Martin registers with an app that connects vampires with willing blood donors. His first client is not at all what he expected.

    Summary

    “It’s not exactly a secure profession.” That was Jon, his body tense, in the way that Martin had learned to read as unhappy. “Half of all travelling players break up within a year of formation.”

    “So, we’ll be in the other half.” The woman - Sasha - shot him a smile, apparently unbothered by his manner.

    “The instances of violence, disease and robbery …” Jon began, with the familiar air of someone who was afflicted with knowledge and was going to make damn sure you were too; but Tim cut him off.

    “Do I detect a hint of concern about me?” He gave Jon a grin which was nine parts amused, to one part genuinely touched.

    Jon stared rigidly at his parchment.

    “I’m simply trying to ensure that you make an informed decision.”

    Summary

    Jon and Martin‘s conversations are nothing more than polite small talk in the teachers’ lounge. They don‘t have much else to say and generally avoid each other‘s presence.

    Until a staff member falls ill right before the school‘s trip to Florence, and Jon is forced to tag along.

    5 days in the heart of the Renaissance: Grading papers, running through museums, and trying to put a name to this weird tension between them.

    Summary

    Tim took a thoughtful sip of tea before spinning around to face his computer screen “Well, if it’s wooing you want…”

    “Tim—” Martin protested, suddenly jittery and suddenly having to make a conscious effort not to punch holes into his fingers in place of the documents still waiting on his desk.

    Tim grinned, endlessly amused. “It’s wooing you’ll get.”

     

    In which Martin gets a crash course on flirting, and years later, Jon starts out chasing ghosts and ends up inheriting some discarded advice from a mostly empty desk.
