    Summary

    Alan sheds some light on his early thoughts about Jack.

    ‘Of course,’ he said, ‘the stuff I actually wanted to put in my article wouldn’t have been at all appropriate for polite society.’

    ‘I suppose “arsehole” might have been taken for a mistype of “Alston” if you’d really pleaded ignorance.’ Jack resumed the slow, firm circles of his hands against Alan’s shoulders.

    ‘I don’t mean that,’ Alan said.

    ‘No?’

    ‘No.’ Alan arched into Jack’s hands. ‘I’m talking about how as soon as I saw you I wanted you so much I couldn’t think about anything else.’

    Summary

    Left to their own devices for an evening, the men joke about engaging in so-called “masculine pursuits”. This turns into earnestly drinking whisky with cigars, frankly discussing sex and porn, the outing of the Roman, and a truly filthy foursome.

    Summary

    Now that Nicaise was looking for the signs, they were everywhere. No more spontaneous kisses. No more casual touches. No more muffled laughter spilling upstairs from the living room after Nicaise had gone to bed.

    Summary

    Laurent is a ragdoll, pulled down into the dark at improbable speed. The lift it makes in his stomach is odd, like the giddy drop on a rollercoaster. A moment of elation, perhaps, before he dies.

    He breaks the surface.

    His gasping mouth now pulls in air, his feet firmly on the rock bottom of the spring and legs holding him up unshakably. Water streams from his head, down his body, as though a bucket had been dumped over his head. He reaches up to push his sopping hair from his eyes.

    “Naiad,” a voice says.

    Laurent stills. Psychological collapse should be allowed, by the universe, to be a solitary affair, especially when it happens in a state of complete undress. It’s unfair on a cosmic level that Laurent should be happened upon by a stranger in his current condition.

    ---

    On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.

    Summary

    “I’m only staying as long as this drink,” Laurent declares. “So, let’s figure out who you’re going to fuck tonight.”

    Damen nearly spits out his first sip of mocktail-turned-cocktail, feeling a sudden urge to clutch his metaphorical pearls. “Laurent!”

    “What?” Laurent says, face impassive. “If you can’t say it, you probably shouldn’t be doing it. And we know you do it a lot. Besides, isn’t that what you came for?”

    ~~~

    Modern AU in which Damen assumes Auguste’s little brother is completely indifferent to him, until Laurent slowly takes control of Damen’s sex life and it’s all Damen never knew he needed.

    Warning-wise, expect Damen to have sex with men and women who are not Laurent, mostly offscreen, unless Laurent is watching.

    Also, I tried to make Damen text like a contemporary young person, but I am a Gen-X texter, who always uses capitalization and punctuation and typically full sentences, so I don’t think I was very successful.
