Summary
Trapped in the sky and his second-worst fear, Caleb had almost – almost – managed to content himself with watching the love of his life live hers as she saw fit, even if that meant tolerating her relationship with her mysterious new boyfriend. At least, that's what he'd convinced himself... until the day she strode onto that Fleet airstrip.
Now that she's within reach once more, Caleb is determined to never let her go again.
What he doesn't account for, however, is his own unexpected history with said boyfriend, and Sylus' firm belief that there are always more solutions than there are problems...
Or: The three of them find out that love is not a finite resource, and Sylus gets a puppy to match his kitten.

Summary
"That was close," he said quietly. You could feel the vibration of his words through his chest, the low rumble sending awareness skittering across your nerves.
You tilted your face up, studying his expression in the dim light filtering from the street.
His pupils had blown wide, leaving only a thin ring of blue, and suddenly you couldn’t look away.
You built your career keeping dangerous Praedators off the streets. As the youngest captain of the LCBI's most successful enforcement unit, you're very good at your job. When the unit's increased workload forces you to hire an assistant, you expect competent filing and decent coffee. Xavier Shen, an unremarkable astronomy graduate desperate for work, delivers. He's quiet and reliable, exactly what you need.
But when a dangerous case lands on your desk and powerful interests offer assistance with hidden costs, you discover that your reluctant new partnership with EVER Corp isn't what it seems.
...Neither is Xavier.
[Inspired by Xavier's Catch-22 Deluded Fiction card]
