Summary
Dara sits up, but doesn’t get off the bed. Noam knows Dara’s not a relationship person; even if he hadn’t outright told him last night as they pushed through the door to the suite, his hands on either side of Noam’s face and his eyes more sober than they’d been the whole night, it was pretty damn clear to anyone with a hint of observational skill. Dara is not a lover. He is a jagged diamond sculpture that lovers throw themselves against and shatter, and Noam is the next in line.
Still, he can’t help but hope, hope, hope that Dara felt even a fraction of what he did last night.
Dara’s face turns just enough to glance at Noam out of the corner of his eye. Noam holds his breath, but Dara just turns away, pushing both hands through his hair and muttering a “Fuck” under his breath.
“Can you cook?” Dara asks, voice raspy. “Nevermind, that doesn’t matter. Invite me to stay over for breakfast. Now, before I change my mind.”
--
Dara's the lead singer of the hot new indie-rock band The Fever King, and an alum of Noam's university. Noam gets dragged to a concert, and both of them get in too deep.

Summary
Ames grins, tossing another gummy into her mouth. “You hate him.”
“I don’t hate him,” Dara says.
“You do--oh my god, you totally do!” She laughs. “You were all cold eyes at him--like that!--and you barely said a thing to him. You gotta admit it was assholish, even for you.”Dara shakes his head. “I don’t hate him.”
“But?”But Lehrer shoved a file on his background at Dara a few weeks back at a dinner reservation he’d arranged for them. First time in God knows how long they’d spent time together, especially since the campaign began, and despite everything Dara marked the date down on his calendar with red pen. Lehrer told him, between sips of vintage wine, “He’s an orphan--just like you.”
Except Dara isn’t an orphan, and his father doesn’t make slip ups. Lehrer’s marble eyes glinted above the rim of his glass.

basically it's just the story if it was set in our time and there are no witchings. dara falling in love with noam w/out the telepathy and the need to take down a nation, but with the alcohol, the abuse, and the terrible communication.

Summary
Ash was never good at asking for help. As he’s clutching Eiji’s letter in one hand and his bleeding stomach in another, he decides that maybe it’s time to learn.
Alternatively: Ash calls a fucking ambulance.

Summary
“Congratulations. I think that might be the stupidest idea you’ve ever had.” Mu Qing sounds… pissed off, yeah, but not as pissed off as Feng Xin thought he would be. Mostly, he sounds wary. “You want to—to kiss me again?”
Yes. More than anything.
Out loud, Feng Xin says, “I just don’t want you holding a bad kiss over my head for the rest of eternity. Are you gonna let me make this up to you or are you gonna be a little bitch about it?”
--
Feng Xin accidentally steals Mu Qing’s first kiss. Naturally, the only logical solution is to give him another one. And another. And another. And another. And—

Summary
“You’d do anything to save him, wouldn’t you.”
Shen Qingqiu forces his eyes to meet Luo Binghe’s. “Anything.”
“I already have your life,” Luo Binghe says idly. “You don’t have much more to give, do you?”
Shen Qingqiu blinks placidly. “I’m sure you can think of something.”
Luo Binghe smiles slowly, looking almost vulpine. “Of course, I can. In fact, I know what I want from you, Shen Qingqiu.”
He doesn’t want to imagine what depravity lurks in Luo Binghe’s mind. He inclines his head, skin itching at the contact with Luo Binghe, and waits.
When Shen Qingqiu's life is in his hands, Luo Binghe asks for something Shen Qingqiu thought he'd given away long ago-- his loyalty.

Summary
“A Doctor of Chaos?” Aventurine echoes, rereading the letter Veritas has handed him. The seal of the IPC presses into the paper, accompanied by a torrent of words that, to the gambler’s eyes and ears, mean absolutely nothing.
Veritas shrugs, loosening his grip on the luggage. “That would be me.”
Aventurine arches an eyebrow and reads it again, for the fourth time:
As a Senior member of the Department of Strategic Investment and one of the Ten Stonehearts, we are pleased to inform you, Aventurine of Stratagems, that you have been assigned a Doctor of Chaos until you have recovered from the traumatic events in Penacony. Doctor Veritas Ratio will attend to your mental and physical well-being for as long as deemed necessary. Until then, your leave shall remain paid, for no more than three hundred and sixty-five days, at which point medical assistance may be renewed.
Respectfully,
Strategic Investment DepartmentOr: Aventurine and Ratio become roommates after the events of Penacony. And, it seems, Ratio is his Doctor of Chaos.
