    Summary

    The Bowerbird wasn't playing fair; Jack couldn't debate these pieces of paper. He couldn't tell pieces of paper and a growing pile of feathers that he, too, remembered the rare treat that was eating a single piece of tropical fruit in the heavy heat of a Christmas afternoon, stickying his best suit of clothes, which had been so clean and pressed for church that morning.

    (In which Inspector Jack Robinson is having a fairly uneventful year, divorce notwithstanding, until he acquires a lady doctor for a drinking buddy and receives a series of flirtatious notes from a jewel thief.)

    Summary

    Loki grins broadly, white teeth gleaming. “I wasn’t aware the CIA took a special interest in art theft.”

    “They don’t.”

    “So you’re here because…?”

    Mobius coughs. “This is, ah, a personal project.”

    “Is that so?” Loki says, looking entirely too delighted. His smile gets even wider, and much more predatory. “Why, I’m flattered, Agent Mobius.”

    “Don’t be,” Mobius warns, doing his best to glare at the other man. He knows it’s futile; Loki can’t help but be flattered. It’s in his nature. “One day I’m going to catch you.”

    (Mobius just wants to bring down the notorious and prolific art thief he's been studying for years. He certainly doesn't expect said thief to be so handsome, or charming, or... helpful?)

    Summary

    “Yes, Lord Stark has come to town to help his mother bring out his eldest sister,” Tyrion said, pouring Jaime a glass of wine. “I understand he also plans to take his seat in the House of the Law. His uncle Edmure has been gathering time for him to give his maiden speech.”

    “Yes, yes,” Jaime said irritably. “That’s not what matters and you know it. Well?”

    Tyrion sighed. “He's nineteen, well-favored, and as far as I know, neither demented nor stupid. And not a hint of a betrothal. Sorry.”
