    Summary

    “You accused me of treating this like a game. I am sorry if I’ve led you to believe that it is only a game—though I won't deny that part of it is.” Bren gives a disarming smile. “My life is either games or murder, after all.”
    “Or mail fraud,” Thelyss says dryly, not even a little disarmed.
    “The mail fraud is a sort of game as well.”
    A sigh. “Is this your way of telling me that you intend to continue playing?”
    Bren smiles again, sharper. “If you would let me.”

    (In which Bren Aldric Ermendrud decides to seduce the Shadowhand and finds that the best way to convince someone to be vulnerable with you is to be vulnerable in turn.)

    Summary

    Caleb should go back inside.

    Caleb should stand up, go back inside, and forget that he saw anything curled up in the filthy alleyway behind his building. Stay out of trouble. Things die all the time.

    When he lays two fingers at the vampire’s neck, its skin is chill as the wet cobblestones. He can just feel the tiny rise and fall of its ribcage.

    Damnit.

    (It's a Shadowgast modern-with-magic vampire!AU)

    Summary

    Essek Thelyss comes to Soltryce to deliver guest lectures and, on the side, cultivate the brand new Archmage of Domestic Protections. He’s hoping that Caleb Widogast will oblige him by picking up his predecessor’s interest in conspiring to steal Luxon beacons, after so rudely murdering Da’leth mere weeks before the culmination of their schemes.

    Essek is prepared for espionage. He is not prepared to find a love that will change the course of his life.

    Summary

    “Enigmatic?” Shōta repeats.
    “Yeah. Would you rather a different adjective?” Yamada asks. “How about elusive? Mysterious. Ominous.” He pauses. “Spooky?”
    Shōta raises an eyebrow.
    “Hey! These are all great things,” Yamada defends. “Also, abrasive, a little, but—”
    Shōta turns away, having had enough of this character assassination from a rising pop star.
    “Hey! I love abrasiveness!” Yamada shouts after him.
    Shōta pauses and turns around. Yamada grins and shoots him a finger gun. Shōta readjusts his bag on his shoulder and says, “Loud, showy, kitschy, irritating.”
    Yamada’s smile doesn’t falter.

    - - -

    After the death of his best friend, Shōta struggles to find a reason to keep going, both in his artistic practice and in his life. On a whim, he takes a job as a concert photographer for Present Mic, and several months of sharing a tour bus with Yamada Hizashi might be the thing to help him recover.
