    Summary

    Lestat gnaws on his lip. “You needed me,” he says, and Louis would think he might sound a little happier about that, until he says, “To hurt yourself.” 

    A thousand acrid, sharp rebuttals rise to Louis’s lips. He swallows them. “Yes,” he says again. 

    Lestat looks at him. His eyes are heavy, full, but what they’re full of, Louis doesn’t know. “Would you, then?” he says eventually. 

    “What?” 

    “Show me. Kill me again.”

    Summary

    Will tells himself it don’t matter that he’s got company for this job, tells himself he don’t mind having the kid around, even if it does feel off. He knows he can’t afford to be picky—not in this kind of work, where jobs are hard enough to come by. And maybe if the boy’s just gonna keep ignoring him, they won’t have to cross paths all that much. He’s fine with that. Easier to keep his head down, get through the summer without any trouble. They won’t see each other.

    Out of sight, out of mind.

    Summary

    Viserra Targaryen's life as the reluctant Lady of White Harbor was not one of songs, not with her insufferable husband as unbearable as he is old, and his magnetic young heir Desmond seemingly despising her.

    Baelon the Brave never feels less brave than when he steals a crown from his beloved brother Aemon's daughter, all while raising his two quarrelsome sons alone.

    When a widowed Viserra returns to King's Landing only six years after she was sent away, their parallel journeys of healing bring them together in the unlikeliest of ways. But ghosts of the past (alongside new revelations) aren't quite done with them yet.

    Summary

    What could be lovelier for Eames after five miserable weeks in Russia than coming home to Arthur drooling on his pillow?

     

    Much to Eames’s delight there’s a lot of wriggling and inadvertent groping while Arthur climbs over him so he can get to his side of the bed. They both get tangled in the heap of blankets and Eames takes an elbow to his ribs, but then Arthur is finally nestled against his side, one leg sliding between Eames’s and his head on Eames’s shoulder. Fitting into the curve of Eames’s arm as if he belongs there.
