Summary
Alex wants to say, God I love your weird and brilliant brain, but sometimes seeing Henry this open and unguarded makes him feel like he might accidentally drop and break something, so instead he just runs his palm up Henry’s leg, stopping above his knee.
“You know what? I think you might be right about that.”
And Henry — smart, gorgeous, mesmerizing Henry who most likely will never cease to surprise and amaze Alex — just reaches over to lace their fingers together in a way that makes Alex think he knows, somehow.

Byakuya and Renji's relationship from the eyes of various staff members of the Kuchiki Household.
This is a direct sequel to peace comes slowly, set in the same summer.

Summary
Henry stays on the porch step, just watching. Just looking. It feels like it’s the only thing he’s supposed to do right now—he should just let the world slow around him, let the red cliffs hold them still for a little longer, and look at the man he loves.
He doesn’t think he’ll ever get used to the way Alex glows in the morning. Not like this, anyway. There’s no put-together sharpness, no fast-talking charm turned all the way up—just soft Alex. Sleepy, gentle eyes still crinkled from the pillow, sweatshirt sleeves too long over his wrists, and those damned soft curls that seem to be holding the secrets of the universe.
And this knocks something loose in Henry every single time.
Or: Alex's curls are wild in the morning breeze and Henry can't get enough of his boyfriend.

Summary
It wasn’t the work Thomas had imagined for himself, but then again, he’d long since stopped imagining a future for himself. The shop was tucked between a tailor and a laundress, modest and clean, with a single window filled with braces and straps and pieces of mannequins wearing assorted items. Hands with brass knuckles, knees of jointed steel, feet shaped from rosewood. It was a workshop for ghosts, Thomas thought, a place where broken bodies came to be reassembled.
The war had ended, but for Thomas, peace had arrived in random shards. Dismissed from Downton without references, he drifted through Leeds and York, carrying luggage, cleaning alleys, surviving. His bad hand ached and curled in on itself, his pride following suit. Having finally been offered a job in a prosthetics workshop, Thomas manages to find something he hadn't dared imagine and begins to build himself up again.

Summary
This was not the butler Richard had been envisioning and clearly he was not what Mr Wilson expected either, for the old man said nothing in response to this greeting, instead looking Mr Barrow up and down. Richard knew Mr Wilson was unimpressed. The man before him did not meet his expectations for a butler; he looked too young, too insolent, too handsome for Mr Wilson to abide. Without uttering a word, Mr Wilson strode past him into the house, with Miss Lawton following, and Richard witnessed a look of shock flitting across the poor butler’s face. As he passed, he gave the man an encouraging smile for he, too, knew what it was like to be at the receiving end of Mr Wilson’s disapproval. He hoped Mr Barrow found his feet again before the arrival of the rest of the household.

Summary
“First time at one of these, huh?”
Thomas startles at the unexpected sound of a soft voice coming from the opposite corner of the room, and he suppresses a curse, annoyed at his own carelessness. So relieved he was to find a quiet spot in a corner of this sprawling mansion, away from the crowds mingling downstairs, he managed to miss the fact that the heavy armchair by the window was already occupied, despite the telltale scent of tobacco that should have tipped him off to the presence of another guest.

Summary
“I’ve thought of this all fucking day,” Harry whispered. “Thought of your hand, your mouth. Thought of fucking you, the sounds you make—fuck—”
Draco’s balls drew up tight at his words, and at the wet squelch of slick skin on skin. He squeezed at their tips with each pass, Harry’s slightly broader cock, Draco’s slightly longer, both flushed, swollen, and leaking. Both desperate to come.
He’d brought himself off before bed, but his own hand hadn’t done much to curtail the heat coiling around his spine or slow the dizzying wave of the orgasm crashing toward him. At the very least, it allowed him to last a little longer.
He held off; for Harry he would.

Summary
Bates inclines his head. “If you don’t mind waiting for about an hour?”
“Oh, no, not at all.” The stranger's smile turns just this side of smug, and the twist to his lips is suddenly so overwhelmingly familiar Bates feels close to having a déjà vu.
“Well, then-” He turns around, away from that smile and the sudden urge to go down to the wine cellar and see if there are any bottles missing – he’s imagining it, right? It couldn’t be. But it’s enough to make him ask: “After you, Mr. …?”
“Barrow.”
Well, bloody hell.
Or: The one in which Thomas' father decides a visit to Downton is in order, now that his son has been made butler.
