Summary
“I doubt Dunholm will bring him any peace.”
“Have you been there before?”
Sihtric nods in acquiescence, mulling for a moment on his next words before saying, “I was raised there.”
“Oh.” Only the squelching of hooves on wet terrain can be heard for a while, Osferth’s wide eyed stare boring a sharp hole in the back of Sihtric’s neck before he dares speak again. “Do you still have family there?”
It is a very Saxon question, one that makes Sihtric grin lopsided. “My father killed my mother, Ragnar my father, and Thyra my half-brother. The only thing left for me there are ghosts.”After Uhtred’s banishment from Wessex and his escape up North, Sihtric is forced to return to Dunholm, now in Ragnar’s hands, where ghosts lurk at every corner and his mother’s memory and Kjartan’s shadow feel larger than ever before. While uncertainty grows and whispers of war begin to spread, his friends from the present, and allies from the past, will become the best weapon he has to battle the darkness of a place that threatens to devour him whole.

Summary
Another song starts. Some rendition of Will Ye Go Lassie Go that makes more than one couple at the pub get together, strangers who are on their second to third pint finally having the liquid courage to get close to the warm body they have been eyeing all night. It softens Bill, infinitesimally so, or it might be the fondness Jock irradiates.
“I’d take you out for a dance if I didn’t know better,” Jock speaks softly, something fond in his features that makes Bill want to run.
“You could try,” Bill mutters, “And get a kick for all your trouble.”
“Ach, but isn’t that half the fun?”Bill has a fishing boat he inherited from his father, very little money for the winter, and a growing headache in the shape of an ocassional fling he doesn't feel inclined to call a boyfriend. He might also have inadvertently acquired a ghost for the season.

Summary
“You are worse than a dog in heat.”
The words have an immediate effect on him, his skin prickling with anticipation as his pants tighten, a short resonant growl building on the base of his throat. Jock barks, once, and Bill stares, wide eyed. A shudder shakes his slender body in a way that makes Jock want to bark, bite, claim. He opts against it, running the flat of his tongue over his teeth, relishing the attention, Bill’s posture mimicking a deer’s before the hunt, unafraid of the hounds.
“What does that make you, then, Billy?” Jock asks, taking a step forward.
Instead of pulling back, Bill faces him, shoulders square, gaze flinty. “Your handler.”Jock has never felt fully human since he was first deployed in the Western desert, too violent, too detached from the horror. Captain Fraser helps.

Summary
Here is one that got away and lived to tell the tale, from Karachi Social Club and Griffin Hotel, Wakefield nick and St. Mary’s Hostel, motorways and car parks, parks and toilets, idle rich and unemployed. From shit they sell and shit we buy, from kids with no mums and mums with no kid. From all dead meat and my dead friends, pubs and clubs, from gutters and stars, local tips and old slag heaps. From badgers and owls, wolves, and swans. Here is a son of Yorkshire. Here is one that got away.
After surviving for years in the North, Barry James Anderson tries better luck down South, somewhere where the sun shines brighter and the past won't find him. The sneaky thing about the past as BJ soon will find is that it always goes with you, no matter how light you pack.

Summary
“How can you do what we do and still read the Good Book, hm?”
Jim startles at the question, his sunglasses clattering onto the cream tiled floor. It takes no time for Pat to bend and pick them up, smiling with a self-assuredness he is only beginning to learn is acceptable while bare in the company of another man.
“I picked it up from where he fell,” Jim explains once his glasses are safe atop the table and his eyes have briefly lost interest in the warm body by his side. “Anything else would have been too evident, but his Bible—I just couldn’t…”
“Sergeant Almonds, committing an act of insubordination!” Pat feigns a gasp, allowing himself to plop on top of Jim’s crossed legs, his naked butt brushing against Jim’s strong thighs as the chair protests their combined weight in vain. “My, oh, my! Can’t even begin to imagine what Stirling would say.”They are granted five days of leave after Jock Lewes’ passing. Pat doesn’t think that’s long enough to grieve—or love.

Summary
To watch a witch work was an intimate thing.
Orugio picked up the heavy book he had been reading and closed it with a soft sound. The air in the atelier kitchen was still and fresh, smelling faintly of soap. He stared, not even trying to hide his gaze. Qifrey wouldn’t have noticed him anyway.
