    Summary

    “Zer liburu mota da?”

    Tilting her head, Nesta furrowed her brows, confused.

    Cassian pursed his lips, thinking how best to translate.

    “Liburu. Libro. Is, um… “ Raising his hand, he made a mock stabbing motion. “Crime? Or erromantzea…romance?"

    “Oh!” Nesta said, understanding. “Oh, yes. Romance. I write romance. Romance books.”

    ---

    Or, I take the best storyline from Love Actually and make it Nessian.

    Summary

    “Holy shit, you scared me!” She yanks her wrist back, lowering the tire iron. Her heart is attempting to hammer out of her chest.

    “You’re the one brandishing a weapon.” He’s holding up his hands in surrender, eyes gleaming.

    “I am a woman alone at a cabin that’s supposed to be abandoned. What else was I supposed to do? This was the most suitable thing I could use in self-defence.”

    “Sure. You’re very threatening. I’m positively terrified.” He nods at the tire iron. “Nesta Archeron, rural vigilante. You planning to change a tire or commit assault on a friend?”

    Friend. Nesta swallows her response to that.

    “I didn’t know it was you! What is—” She gestures at his face. “What is happening with all of that?”

    He grins, running a hand over his jaw. “My face? What, you don’t like the mustache?”

    Summary

    Nesta wakes to sunlight stabbing through unfamiliar curtains and the immediate, visceral knowledge that she’s made a terrible mistake.

    Her head throbs. Her mouth tastes like expensive wine and poor decisions. Her body aches in places that make her face heat even in her half-asleep state. She’s naked—completely, utterly naked—in a hotel bed that is definitely not hers, wrapped in sheets that smell like sex and some woodsy cologne that she can still taste on her tongue.

    The body beside her shifts, and Nesta freezes.

    Oh god. Oh no.

    —————

    Nesta wakes up in Cassian’s hotel room the morning after her sister’s wedding and immediately panics. This was not supposed to happen... Written for romance week day five: Only One Bed.

    Summary

    RUCK ME
    MAUL ME
    MAKE ME SCRUM

    Nesta stared at it for one full second, and thought, somewhat deliriously, that Emerie was a dead woman. She considered getting up and leaving, walking directly back into the Edinburgh night.

    Then she looked at the man wearing it, and her staring took on a somewhat different quality.

    His picture hadn’t done his size justice, since he was broad enough that two people could probably live comfortably on each shoulder. Whoever had assembled him had been working from a different set of specifications than the rest of the population. Dark-haired with mesmerizing hazel eyes and a jaw that had no business being that defined in ordinary life. She was sure he never once had to think about whether he could reach the thing on the top shelf, or punch the light out of someone’s eyes. Her gaze traveled lower, and all coherent thought left her mind. Good god. He had thighs like tree trunks. The man was wearing jeans which were clearly fighting for their lives. He could crush her skull with those things.

    —————

    Nesta goes on a date with a rugby player, and it changes her life in more ways than one. That’s it, that’s the plot.
