    Summary

    In a world where the Belyi-Tsar's court of fae still exists, the relationship between Snezhnaya and Nod-Krai is a tense one. The Wild-Hunt rages on however, and someone has to deal with it. The young captain of the Nightmare Orioles squad is faced with a situation so dire, he embarks on a lone and impulsive journey to get the help of the fae he'd only heard about in terrifying stories. A part of him is sure he'll have to sacrifice his soul to get what he needs, but the mysterious fae he meets seems to be interested in something entirely different.

    The water ran out and Illuga pushed away the flask, gasping for breath. He really was thirty. But he could not possibly blame that small factor for making a complete fool out of himself.
    Sir Flins’ gaze was transfixed on the his open, glistening lips. He stood still for a moment, then suddenly reached out and wiped the young man's wet mouth with his gloved thumb.
    Illuga flushed red and quickly turned away. Those tales couldn't even begin to grasp just how odd the fae really were.

    Summary

    "Would you like to do that, mh?" Venti asks. "Worshiping me, I mean. I bet you'd be so good at it. Chanting my name like a prayer, giving me all I ask of you and more, taking what I give and being grateful for it. Would you like that?"

    And Varka knows that this is his chance. That Venti is offering him a way out, that he just needs to say the word and this will be over. He can prove that he's above his impulses. He can pass Barbatos' test and show that he's a man with morals, a knight that can resist temptation.

    But then his eyes leave Venti's and fall on his lips instead.

    Barbatos is a benevolent Archon. He will forgive him.

    ---

    Young Knight of Favonius Varka meets a pretty bard at the Angel's Share and offers him a drink. Little does he know that this encounter will turn his life upside down.

    Summary

    Five times Flins touches Illuga out of curiosity. Five times Illuga feigns ignorance until the truth spills forth.

    Flins removes his glove before he touches Illuga's cheek again, marveling at the feel of the soft tissue under his cold skin. All the while, Illuga’s eyes stare into his own—the colours so bright and enticing. The blue of its outer circles rivals the sky, and the red center reminds him of the blood the young man spills so willingly for his homeland. It taints the lovely feeling Flins holds into darker thoughts, and he lingers—longer than he should—letting his thumb run over the same spot over and over again…

    “Sir Flins?”

    “Yes?”

    “I think that’s enough,” the Young Master states abruptly before turning on his heel, leaving Flins standing where he is, staring at his hand as if he’s never had one to begin with.

    Summary

    — Не отказывайся от помощи. Насколько я знаю, механика не самая сильная твоя сторона.

    Лини кривится. Невыносимый Ризли, который каждый раз слишком быстро догадывается о его слабостях. Лини ненавидит чувствовать себя уязвимым, тем более перед этим человеком, который однажды рискнул отнять у него самое дорогое, пусть и временно.

    — Я как-нибудь сам справлюсь, — цедит он сквозь зубы. — Помощь мне не нужна.

    Невыносимее всего в Ризли то, что он не слушает — или не воспринимает его всерьез, ни тогда в крепости, ни сейчас: он подходит ближе, тут же принимается перебирать разложенные на столе детали.

    Ризли помогает Лини разобраться с механизмом, и они незаметно сближаются.

    Summary

    “I’m a professional.” Wriothesley assures him, rolling his shoulders just slightly as he sits up straighter, not quite posturing but certainly showing off what he can. Embarrassing, he scolds himself silently.

    He catches how Lyney’s brows raise, as if inviting - daring - the other to try and argue further. “So am I.”

    or, Wriothesley has a case to solve, Lyney has a family to protect, and opposites attract but only after they collide.
