    Summary

    The Royal Baldur Ballet's upcoming season is poised to be the most dramatic yet. With seven gorgeous ballets to stage, first soloist Astarion Ancunín is convinced this will be the season he finally shines bright enough, worthy of the rank of principal dancer. Enter Wyll Ravengard, stage left, and everything is about to change.

    ~*~

     

    Wyll Ravengard is most definitely not an apprentice. Astarion knows that name, Wyll Ravengard. He won the Prix de Lausanne five or so years ago, the most prestigious competition for ballet students. Even as a student, it was clear that Wyll was going to be the ballet world’s next big star.

     

    And now he’s here, in Astarion’s barre spot. In his rank.

    Summary

    Detective Astarion Ancunin knows three things about The Collector: she's calculated, untouchable, and has been making his life hell for three years with her flawless heists and taunting calling cards. What he doesn't know is her real name, or why she kissed him like she meant it before vanishing into the night with a stolen necklace.

    Octavia Fallguard knows three things about Detective Ancunin: he's relentless, devastatingly clever, and the biggest threat to the life she's made stealing for the crime syndicate that owns her debt. What she doesn't know is that the immunity papers he's offering are fake, or that the job requiring her to share the same space is about to become the most dangerous con of her life.

    In the shadow-soaked streets of 1950s New York, two masters of deception are about to discover that the person they've been hunting—and running from—might be exactly what they've been searching for. But when you're built from lies and surviving on borrowed time, falling in love is the most reckless thing you can do.

    Catch Me If You Can by dramatic_chipmunk (WorkID: 61714474)

    Summary: In 1950s New York, Detective Astarion Ancunin prides himself on being the best—until a high-profile case throws him into a tangled web of stolen jewels, shadowy adversaries, and a certain someone who keeps slipping through his fingers. In a city that never sleeps, where secrets lurk behind every corner, Astarion must navigate intrigue, temptation, and a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse that blurs the line between duty and desire.

    If you like Noir, you'll love this. Highly recommended.
