    Summary

    “I wonder…” you muse.

    Your touch is deceptively gentle as you trace a path upwards along the chain. Your fingers trail over the firm swell of his pecs and the defined ridges of his collarbone. His heart beats furiously beneath your fingertips.

    “Are you mad because someone dared to hurt your precious little baby sister?”

    It’s the closest the two of you have ever been to a proper kiss. You feel him stop breathing. Your hair falls down around you, creating a curtain that shrinks the world down until it’s just you and him. His violet eyes are twin storms that could burn the very cosmos. Your lips graze against his when you speak.

    “Or are you mad because you’re jealous that it’s his hands that bruised my skin and not yours?”
    -----
    Caleb doesn't want you to see the kind of man he's become. You want to unveil him anyway. After an attack on MC, the game is set. It's a weekend full of manipulation, temptation, and blurred lines between duty and desire.

    Which breaks first, the unstoppable force or the immovable object?

    The masks we wear, the lies we tell, the games we play, all come crumbling down.
    In the ruins, we bear our sins together.

    Summary

    The heat of Rafayel’s body presses in on her. The edge of his dagger’s poised like a wire across her throat. It isn’t exactly how she’d choose to start her first real conversation with her former subordinate-cum-roommate-cum-lover-cum-sexually-charged-nemesis-cum-hostage, but she’s left with no other choice but to make do.

    She pushes the muzzle of her gun into his side, just to alert him that it’s there. His eyes go wide, darting down and back again at the pressure. Raising her hand and smiling in cheeky surrender, she says, “I can explain?”

    Tamino and his supervisor reunite.

    Summary

    Rafayel's confession that once he believed only pain could bring him inspiration is still fresh.

    You don't have enough artistic sense to apply "Why are the curtains blue?" philosophy to his art and figure him out in places where you're still not allowed in; but the color alone in his newer pieces jumping out as if to sing out celebrations of hope can't be your wishful thinking, either. In any case, it's, at the very least, reassuring to be able to assume he's happy enough that it shows through his work.

    On the other hand, a devoted collector and admirer of Rafayel finds your existence to be the blight on his work, and is determined to get the artist back on track.

    ***

    Or: in which rafayel gets a stalker, and doesn't take it seriously until it endangers you.

    Summary

    “So does it work?”

    “What?” She squeaked.

    Rafayel drew her closer, turning her hand to lean his cheek against her knuckles. “Does a cock break a fever?” He asked in a sick pantomime of innocence. “As we’ve discussed, my knowledge of the human body is limited. I have much to learn.”

    The Castellan of Romirro overhears the maids discussing a bawdy home remedy, and the Sea God puts it to the test.
