    Summary

    He could lie and say it was because he was gentleman, but that wasn’t quite true. “I – well, I want to take advantage of you. But I know better.”

    Rey looked at him for a long moment, and Ben thought she might slap him. She didn’t. She started to laugh, shaking her head as if she couldn’t quite believe it. Finally, she said, smiling, “Goodnight, Ben.”

    Ben turned and walked slowly back to his car. He heard her door creak open, but he didn’t hear it slam shut. It felt as if he was walking away from his chance, from his chance to have something good and uncomplicated and nice.

    Ben turned around, and went back to the door. Rey waited for him, biting her lip. He took off his stocking cap and held it in his hands in front of himself. His ears were cold without his hat, but he was in the posture of remorse and penance. "I'm sorry. I'm an ass. Can I kiss you again?"

    Summary

    "Sorry, I– I live in the apartment next to yours and the night you moved in, you put on ABBA and started singing and I–" he explains, gesturing wildly and doing his best to look like a proper idiot, which is always an accomplishment from his part. "I started to call you ABBA girl in my head." 

    I also started to fall in love with your existence like the complete loser I am, he thinks. 

    -- or: Ben falls in love with his new neighbor the moment he hears her sing ABBA at the top of her lungs one Thursday evening, and he isn't prepared for the wave of longing that it brings.

    Summary

    There are many things that Ben could have tolerated about his parents’ divorce. That his mother had finally had it with his father’s borderline illegal—or rather, as he liked to put it, borderline legal—company, the shady activities it covered that would doubtlessly end her political career if a reporter got hold of them; that his father had finally had it with the way his mother nags, because sure, he’d thought it was hot twenty years ago, but he is in fact an adult who can actually keep his shit together—all that he would have gotten. He’d have been wrecked, but he’d have gotten it.

    His dad leaving his mom for a nineteen-year-old gold-digger though, and his mother not even putting up a fight—that had caught him by surprise.

    That had hurt.

    Be nice to her, Ben, his mother had said on the phone when he’d spoken to her for the first time in five years. She just lost your father.

    Yeah. So did I.

    Summary

    The cleric offered a small smile, letting their gaze linger in silence—an unspoken invitation for Mike to say something, anything, instead of simply staring with his lips parted ever so slightly.
    Mike’s expression flickered. Instinct overtook him as he dropped to one knee and gingerly took the boy’s hand, which was soft yet steady, warm with a kind of quiet power.

    “Sir Michael of House Wheeler, Knight of the Silver Guard, at your service,” he blurted out—too formal, too fast, yet trembling with a vulnerability that the cleric couldn’t help but let his lips quirk up into a smirk.

    “I know who you are,” he teased lightly. After a thoughtful beat, he added, “William the Wise, Cleric of Selûne.”

    OR

    Forbidden romance between:

    Paladin Mike Wheeler, second in line to the throne, who must become a knight to protect the firstborn heir

    and

    Cleric Will Byers, who is chosen by a moon goddess to fight injustices, including those set forth by Sir Michael.
