    Summary

    “What is he like?” Viktor asks, as they're seated around the fire for the first night of their journey. Besides a small tent for him, they are devoid of any luxuries. He's sore and tired, feeling the first ounce of regret at refusing a litter or a wagon.
    “Who?” Jayce asks in return, looking up from where he's preparing their dinner, a rabbit they'd chanced upon earlier.
    “My intended, your king. I've never met him.”
    “His majesty is-” Jayce looks like he's thinking too carefully. “Generally well liked. Tall.”
    “That's all you can say?” Viktor snorts. “You either don't know him well or don't like him.”

    Summary

    Loving Viktor is easy, Jayce thinks. Easier than breathing, easier than existing. He would do anything for Viktor, who is his best friend and closest confidant. His partner in all ways but one.

    However, there are some things he simply cannot do, like convincing the council to fund Viktor’s passion project. As a result, Viktor becomes a surrogate for hire, and Jayce must watch him go through the trials of pregnancy, all while trying to support him the best he can without accidentally confessing his feelings.

    Summary

    "With respect, your Highness—”
    “Jayce. Please call me Jayce.”
    “...Jayce.” How ridiculous, that even then the single syllable tasted of home. “Respectfully, you cannot want this. I am broken. I assure you, it will be far more trouble than I am worth.”
    Jayce had touched him again, then; those same warm calloused fingers brushed the hair aside from Viktor’s forehead. “I think,” he’d said, “that I will decide for myself what you are worth.”

    Summary

    Jayce stopped a few respectful feet away from their circle. He held something in his hand. A single, perfect twilight bloom, its petals a deep, velvety purple that seemed to absorb the firelight. It was a rare flower, one that only grew in high, sunny clearings.

    He cleared his throat, the sound a low, nervous rumble. “I... My name is Jayce” he began, his voice slightly hoarse. He extended the flower, a tremble in his large, calloused fingers. “And I would be honored… if you would accept this. And… and my courtship.”

    Viktor’s mind went blank. He opened his mouth to politely, gently, refuse. To let this magnificent bull down easy so he could find a mate worthy of him. But the words wouldn’t come. All he could see was the earnest hope in Jayce’s eyes, the nervous tremble in the hand holding the flower. This was was insane. He didn't want this. He has always been better off on his own.

    But… what if?
    What if, for once, he didn’t overthink it? What if he reached out and took the ridiculous, beautiful offering? What if he allowed himself, just for a little while, to feel the warmth of that gaze, to bask in the impossible notion that someone like Jayce could want someone like him?

    Summary

    Riz has a mystery on his hands: who keeps leaving notes in his locker and, even more mysteriously, why?

     

    "It's probably a secret admirer," said Gorgug.

     

    "My main theory right now is that it's an assassin of some kind," said Riz.
