    Summary

    "The crown suits you, you know," said Ser Duncan over the cacophony, and brought Baelor back to himself. "Makes you look... you know. Kingly. Which I suppose makes sense, given that you're the king now." A look of anguish crossed his face. "Oh, hells, I shouldn't be calling you 'you,' should I? It's 'Your Grace.' Please don't take—"

    Baelor resisted the urge to rest his hand against the lad's back, as one might soothe a skittish horse. "No offense was taken, ser."

    "Thank you," Ser Duncan said, then immediately amended, "Thank Your Grace...ness. Seven fucks, I'm getting another drink." And he whirled away into the throng before Baelor could say a word.

    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?)
