Summary
He used to believe love was something you could manage. That it could be compartmentalized, like business meetings, like investments, like guilt, something you put in a folder and closed when the workday ended. Loosen the tie. Light up a cigar. Pour some whiskey. Let it all float away. That’s how it was in his first marriage. And when they met across the table to sign the divorce papers, they did so with polite, well-bred smiles and no hard feelings.
But with Carrie, there were no compartments. No edges. Just the endless sprawl of wanting and the shame that came with it.

Summary
Fuck, he had totally walked into a set, hadn’t he? The beautiful, ethereal looking actor in his period piece outfit was pissed and waiting to tear him a new one, if the expression was any clue.
One moment the man was up, and then, the next second, he had gracefully jumped from the wall in front of Wei Ying, who, only by the strength of his will, did not scream in alarm.
He did yelp a little. But very manfully.
“No entry after sunset,” said the man, and his voice was deeper than Wei Ying could’ve guessed. “How did you get past the wards?”

Summary
Everyone knows that Tom Riddle is the perfect Avatar. An effortless diplomat and prodigious bender, he’s the Fire Nation’s pride and joy.
Strangely, though, Riddle has never been able to access the Avatar State. To that end, Hermione Granger—a Northern waterbending master—has been invited to the Fire Nation’s Royal Palace, in hopes that her qi-therapy techniques will unlock Riddle’s full Avatar power.
No one knows that Hermione Granger is part of a society that has been tracking Riddle’s actions meticulously for years. Hermione knows full well that Riddle isn’t what he seems. She knows what he’s planning to do if he unlocks the Avatar State.
She’s going to make sure that never happens.

Bookmarker's Notes
“You don’t have real power,” she said, low and quiet. “You don’t even want real power. You only want enough to order people around, to hurt them, to make them fear you. It’s such a pathetic little thing. I thought you wanted the rest of it, too—like I do. Knowledge and understanding. Self-mastery. That’s power.”

Summary
“Did we call each other boyfriend? Surely not. Sounds weird even saying out loud.”
“You were my beloved,” Armand says. “My lover. My boy.”
“Your human pet. Your mortal fool. I get it,” Daniel says, not neglecting to notice his use of the past tense. “You want to go see a movie?”

“The love I have for you is a different shape. It’s just for you. I mean, my blood is your blood. Simple as that.”

Summary
Daniel drinks another martini and a half, says, “You’re lucky I’m on blood thinners. I used to handle my liquor way better,” as he sets the unfinished drink on the table and offers Armand his arm again.
Armand sits next to him this time, their bodies turned in toward each other as he cradles Daniel’s arm and drinks. The blood gives him a headrush, and he blinks rapidly to attempt to clear his vision. This time he leaves the wound for longer, lets blood drip down toward Daniel’s wrist before he laps it up.
“Fuck,” Daniel murmurs as he watches. “That’s more like it.”

Summary
Wei Ying didn’t know how he’d ended up here.
The omega was heaving in sharp gasps, shock temporarily rendering him mute — truly a feat in and of itself; a perfect representation of how utterly surprising his situation was. He was being held down easily. Firmly restrained as if he wasn’t one of the top four strongest cultivators in their generation, no matter how hard he shoved against the grip on himself his oppressor wasn’t budging at all. Leaving him staring up in a mixture of nervousness, excitement (mostly shock) and fine maybe — he could admit privately to himself — a little bit of fear at the positively enraged alpha that was restraining him.
He didn’t quite know how this happened.
