    Summary

    "Sorry?" he squeaks. He's misunderstood, he must have. He's not sure how, but he misunderstood.

    "Your clothes." Mr de Pointe du Lac finally looks up at him, his unyielding gaze piercing Rashid to the core. "Take them off, please."
    ___

    (in which Louis pushes his loyal assistant to the limit, and beyond)

    Summary

    The interview is done, Louis is gone, and Daniel can finally get the fuck out of Dubai and go home to his significantly less comfortable couch. But there's something lingering in that penthouse. Memories that don't make sense. And try as he might, Daniel can't resist the pull, and the answers Armand might finally give him.

    or

    What really happened between Daniel and Armand in that penthouse after Louis left? And what in the goddamn hell went down in San Francisco?

    Summary

    Armand lowered his eyes and spoke softly, “You want to know if what Daniel wrote about me is true?”

    “Yes, Armand; I would love to know.” Came the reply from Daniel’s friend, a little condescending, but that was alright, Armand didn’t mind.

    A quick gaze at Daniel proved him to be only mildly amused. How far would he allow Armand to go then?

    “I could do a small demonstration. If you’re curious.”

    __________________________

    Life's milestones warrant a party. Like, for example, selling 20 million copies of a book.
    There is no reason not to throw a party. There is no reason not to invite every person Daniel's ever met.

    There is no reason for Armand to show up. But that is besides the point.

    Summary

    Betrayed by his brother and bound by a magic he can’t even see, Prince Damianos finds himself overthrown and trapped in Veretian territory. Help comes in the form of Laurent, a Calligrapher who is specially suited to help Damen—for a price, of course. Safe passage to Ios is the payment, and together they strike out across the Veretian wilderness, dodging pursuers and finding help in the most unexpected places. Trust comes slowly, and Damen finds himself falling for his stubborn and intractable traveling companion. And sure, Damen hasn’t told him he’s a prince yet, or that he's heading to Akielos to reclaim his crown, but what’s a secret between friends? Or, as their journey goes on, lovers?

    But Laurent is hiding a few secrets of his own, and eventually Damen will be forced to deal with the fact that the magic that binds them can also divide them.
