    Summary

    Samuel Hayden has been through a lot: after the time-y why-me shitty shenanigans that fighting Hell's Horde results in, he was sure he paid for his sins and that everything was truly over. Argent Energy has been rendered useless, and though this new universe suffers its own plethora of troubles, he's found it easy to endure.

    However, leave it to fucking mortals to be too curious and go touching things they shouldn't. Now faced with (forcibly) reuniting with his ex-ally (or whatever the hell their relationship status had been), the immortal's troubles have increased with the addition of an unwanted soul that the Slayer insists will be their shared son! Is he insane!?

    Or maybe not; there's something inherently sad and lonely about the infamous green SPARTAN-II, and make no mistake, it's going to generate questions as to what it means to be human... much less, what it means to live without violence.

    Doom runs in this family, the lack of blood relation be damned.

    Summary

    The Arbiter's initial studies of human culture didn't happen after the Great Schism; he's figured out things about their species through long observation and plenty of patience. He'll acknowledge their new alliance gives him plenty of resources to fall back on when he doesn't understand something. Frankly, he doesn't get a LOT of the customs these people have.

    But it's good to increase his knowledge: as a curious Sangheili, he has many burning questions, ones he's harbored for years that ought to be answered at long last. There's only one problem he's got no hope of fixing.

    See, he REALLY wishes he could figure out if this 'bond' with his enemy-turned-ally is purely platonic, or he's instigated a serious courtship between them. Chief is being rude in not clearing up the matter but then again, the Arbiter is kind of shitty at clarifying what his questions are.

    Misunderstanding is in plenty but were it so easy to understand one another's intentions, then they'd never learn how to become each other's equal.

    Summary

    It was a distress signal. Something went wrong on a mission and the Arbiter's paying the price, his crew suffering alongside him as his painful symptoms worsen. Master Chief John-117 is pretty fucking concerned, all things considered: it's been a journey learning to like, then love, the gentle heart behind rigid alien training and iconic silver armor. So of course he'd hurry to his lover's side to do whatever he can to help him out of this predicament.

    He just wishes the solution to this predicament didn't have to be so perverted. Ah, it's a downside to having a boyfriend with alien biology, isn't it? And he's about to learn firsthand the difference between having sex with Thel and having sex with Thel during a rut.

    (No one on the Shadow of Intent is paid enough to deal with these shenanigans.)

    Summary

    Infamous hitman Gold Stryker (better known as Mahonia Reyes) prides herself on having an open, flexible mind. Admittedly, having a mind like hers has helped her get through the worst life has to offer, from the marks who cause her the most trouble to the sudden surprises that Life likes to curve ball to her from time to time. If something comes along that upsets her understanding of things, she'll be quick to correct that problem and mosey onward.

    Except nothing will lessen the headache that Alistair K. Black has become, this weird not-Death insisting on sticking around her since their chance meeting months back. He's chatty, occasionally brainless and heaps of unnerving while trailing after her under the claim of 'keeping an eye on her'. What's a girl to do to keep a guy like him quiet then, and out of her affairs?

    Well, kissing him was probably not the way to go to achieve peace and quiet. It sure as hell is the gateway to a future she doesn't expect.

    Summary

    With strings of mysterious disappearances and bloody crime scenes on the rise in the idyllic town of Union, former homicide detective Leon Reeves begins his own personal investigation of the matter, unaware that he is constantly being watched by evil eyes. At the same time, Sebastian Castellanos has delved back into STEM, into the fictitious sub-reality world it has created, intent on unearthing the foulness hidden within.

But the hungry gaze of a predator also watches him, desiring to create a masterpiece from the gore he creates…

    An artist strives for only perfection and for a master like himself, who finds True Beauty in one's End, the only thing worth creating these days is a Dance of Death everyone will remember...

    Summary

    They say that life is a dance with many interchangeable partners, some more significant than others. They can be fun or passionate. They can be sad and downright frightening. But never could you have guessed how this one dance would ruin you.
