Summary
One second Ryland sat beside the fire, breathing crying beneath the stars. The next Simon shoved into him hard enough that both of them crashed backward into the sand. Ryland made a startled sound as the blanket twisted beneath them. Sand scattered. The firelight jumped gold across Ryland’s shocked face.
Simon didn’t know what he was doing.
He had never done this before.
Not really. Simon just suddenly could not survive the distance between them anymore.
So he closed it.
And kissed him.
Hard.If you are scrolling late at night with your morals in one hand and your phone in the other and you just want to get to the smut, start at Chapter 11.
Sneak Peek: “The metal thumb of the prosthetic pressed lightly against Ryland’s mouth. Ryland opened for him immediately.”

Summary
Ever since Emily had returned – freshly reformed and freshly scarred, brief words and explanations about the Void dying on her lips - things had only ever been ‘fine’, and the word had transformed into some sort of code of secrecy, a rug for the truth to be swept under. Time and time again she brushed things off as being ‘fine’, when Trellis knew damn well that under the surface she was just as choked with problems as he was.

Summary
“It’ll work better if you insulate that wire and connect it to the bolt of this gear,” Simon leans in closer as he speaks, pointing to what he’s talking about, his breath hitting the shell of Grace’s ear with each word. “It’ll keep it from short circuiting.” The ghost of contact never made makes Grace want to writhe in his seat, maybe even dare to reach o-
“Ri-” Grace’s voice cracks embarrassingly high before he clears his throat, “right, thank you so much, I will get right on that.”——
Or 5 times Grace short circuits plus one time that… He still short circuits.
So more accurately 5 times Simon unintentionally short circuits Grace, plus one time he intentionally short circuits Grace.Bookmarked by shoestrum
