Summary
Water dripped from the hair plastered to their foreheads, barely noticed as it fell onto their already soaked shoulders. Hans’ face burned as he looked up to the small ceiling-like covering above them. “Well, better this than catch the cold.”
Henry’s laugh was warm against his cheek, “You look like a wet cat.”
Hans’ eyes snapped back to Henry. “You take that back right now, yokel.”
Henry’s smile lit the space between them and that familiar ache he had felt all day in his chest felt like stabbing pain. “It’s even worse when you’re mad. You get all puffed up.”
“I do not-” Hans shuffled where he stood, squaring his shoulders until he realized it only pushed him further into contact with Henry. “You smell like a wet dog.”
The corner of Henry’s lip twitched higher, “Yeah?”
Hans’ reply, meant to be stern and assured, came out as a softly spoken whisper, “Yeah.”
---The Devil's Den harbored many secrets, poorly kept and air-tight alike. Hans hoped every glance he spared to Henry was locked away in a little box inside his chest – hidden and far enough away that nobody could see how much he was choking on his own want.

Summary
Slowly rain began to fall, a few droplets hitting Henry’s legs where they dangled outside of the cover above them. “You are Henry of Skalitz. Hero of Bohemia. My best friend. A man very passionate about making sword deliveries and lover to many a wench.”
For the first time that night, the corner of Henry’s lips twitched up. “It’s not that many wenches.”
Hans lifted and turned his head, a smile warming his face that was contagious as everything was with Hans Capon. “Sorry, lover to a few wenches.”
Henry’s shoulder untensed, the nightmares fading into the ground beneath them, drowning in the puddles forming with the rain’s growing intensity. Hans didn’t seem to care about the side of him getting wet as the wind blew the droplets onto them. He was focused, staring at Henry like he was a special star in the sky and Henry wished so solemnly he could be everything Hans saw him as.

Summary
The fire crackled.
“Henry?”
He craned and lifted his head to look at Hans, the man sitting in his bed with his knees up as if he were a child alone in their crib – small and scared. Henry continued to shift, lifting himself up now on his elbows while he kept his eyes on his friend. “Sir?”
Hans laughed, the sound wet and choked. “Do you ever get that feeling you won’t be here for long?”
Henry frowned as he swung his legs over the side of the cot. He pulled the blankets off him as his feet hit the cold wooden floors. “What do you mean?”
Hans shrugged. It was barely an answer, one done with eyes cast to the side as if shamed by even asking the question. “I don’t know.”
“Still thinking about the hanging?”
Another laugh, this one less wet and more bitter. “Hard to think of anything else.”

OR:
Yasha smacks some sense into Caleb so he can understand why he truly is afraid of taking that leap. -

Summary
You are cordially invited to attend the Bright Queen's Gala of the Dens tomorrow evening.
--
Caleb knew that there were so many ways going to a gala with Xhorhasian nobles was a bad idea. Unfortunately, he also knew plenty of reasons it could be a good idea. However, Den Thelyss sponsoring their attendance meant they were barely given a choice. They could survive one gala without causing all of Rosohna to hate them. Right?

Summary
When Steve left Montana he promised himself he wouldn't return unless someone died-- happy to leave that world behind him. He thought he'd have several decades before he was dragged back to the ranch he used to call home. But Sara died. His big sister-- bringing him back to the family.
His family was far from traditional. It wasn't any wonder that it took one of them dying in a freak accident to get them all in the same place again. If that wasn't distressing enough, it became clear Steve's father would need more help with Sara being gone, forcing him to stick around longer.
On top of it all, his childhood sweetheart's presence on the ranch was impossible to ignore. Steve knew if he wasn't careful, it'd be all too easy to fall into his arms and never leave. The only issue was, if Jonathan learned his secret, there was no way he'd want a thing to do with Steve.

Summary
Lucien regards Essek. “You know I steal things for a living, don’t you? You know I’ve got a few dead men to my name, too?”
“I am aware of these facts, Mr. Tavelle. I considered them to be among your highest qualifications for this job.”
“And yet you came here alone?”
“...Yes?”
Lucien digests this. “Okaaay. Well, how’s the pay?”
“200 gold."
Lucien bursts out laughing. “Nope! Nope. Absolutely not. Do you think I was born last night?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Lemme get this straight.” Lucien leans forward, staring Essek down. “You’re telling me you came to a distant kingdom, arranged to meet a known criminal in a bathhouse, and thought nothing of stripping nude for a parley—but now you’re telling me that you need protection for your meeting with some spook? You’re dangerous enough on your own, my friend. If you’re in the market for a merc, it’s because you are about to walk into some fucked up, unsound, insane shit—and I’m not getting flayed alive and broken on the rack for 200 gold. For 500 gold? Sure, fine, that’ll get you some light flaying, maybe a turn or two on the rack—but not for 200.”
Essek sighs. “Do you prefer it in gold or platinum?”

Summary
Ray had sworn he'd been a dead man. His ticket had gotten punched. Three warnings to forty-seven, and he was more than sure that he'd die. He was ready to give it all up for Pete. He trusted him with his idea in taking out the Major. And when Pete was ready to give his own life up to make sure Ray's idea happened, he knew he had to do the same.
He falls unconscious due to his gun shot wounds, believing that he has succumbed to his injuries. Despite that, Ray finds himself waking in an unfamiliar room and a hazy memory of what had happened once the Walk had ended. The only thing he's sure of? He loves Pete - that wouldn't change. But there was no reason he should be alive, not if Pete was the winner.
Not until he finds out that Pete's one wish was his life.
