Summary
“You accused me of treating this like a game. I am sorry if I’ve led you to believe that it is only a game—though I won't deny that part of it is.” Bren gives a disarming smile. “My life is either games or murder, after all.”
“Or mail fraud,” Thelyss says dryly, not even a little disarmed.
“The mail fraud is a sort of game as well.”
A sigh. “Is this your way of telling me that you intend to continue playing?”
Bren smiles again, sharper. “If you would let me.”(In which Bren Aldric Ermendrud decides to seduce the Shadowhand and finds that the best way to convince someone to be vulnerable with you is to be vulnerable in turn.)

Summary
In a shocking display, the unfamiliar drow began to speak Zemnian: “Entschuldigung, aber mein Zemnisisch ist nicht gut genug für dieses wichtige Gespräch." He took one step closer, in small increments as if approaching a wild animal. “Bren.”
“How-” His throat caught as his heart seized. Fuck. He’d already slipped up. Master Ikithon was going to be furious. “No, you have the wrong-”
“No need to lie.” The elf lifted his palm. His violet eyes caught Bren’s frantic gaze, and he visibly came to a decision. “Bren, you are suffering from acute psychic temporal displacement. I highly suspect it is due to a magical experiment we just performed.”
“Amnesia,” he translated. “You- You’re saying I have amnesia. Memory loss.”
(Bren Ermundrud wakes up twenty years later and finds a Kryn drow living in his home)

Summary
“Can you tell me why you are so certain I would prefer your younger face?”
Caleb laughed again, still disbelieving. It seemed impossible that Essek could not understand this—Caleb felt like he was being asked to explain why burnt food tasted bad, or why putting one’s hand through a meat grinder would hurt. But Essek’s bemusement seemed entirely genuine. “Because it’s not as ugly? Because who likes fucking decrepit old men?”
“Clearly you have not heard what your students say about you when they think you cannot hear,” Essek said, with such dry frankness that it startled a laugh out of Caleb.
Caleb is getting old, and has a hard time believing that Essek can still be attracted to him. Essek decides to prove him wrong with a little tender loving bondage and body worship.
