    Summary

    “Are you– are you full though?”

    “I’ve taken the safe amount,” he says, which Dan understands means ‘no’. “Do you need anything else?” Phil adds, glancing at him. “Uhm– a shower maybe?”

    So he knows. Great.

    The only thing worse than coming in your pants like a pubescent school boy at the thought of being drained of every last drop of blood, is the guy who was sucking your blood to notice.

    Dan really needs some money to pay his rent. Phil really needs blood to survive. It's a pretty good deal, and Dan gets a lot more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    “Rozy—shit,” he manages, voice strangled, want bubbling molten and inescapable in his gut, hips trembling with the force of not rudely bucking up into Rozanov’s warm, far too talented mouth.

    Because I just wanted you to fuck me, he thinks after he’s finished making Shane unravel with soft, unforgiving motions, as Rozanov—as Ilya—laves his tongue hungrily over the mess dripping down the planes of his abdomen, blinking overwhelmed tears away from the diminuendo of pleasure. But then I became greedy. And now all I want is for you to love me.

    Or: despite the initial fear, the world doesn't end when Shane Hollander realizes he loves Ilya Rozanov. Now, he just has to convince Ilya of that same truth.

    An adjusted timeline. A collection of moments. A story about completing someone, despite the odds.

    Summary

    Magnus had taught him just how much he craved physical affection. Magnus’s touch could bring him down, sweep him high. He’d learned how sensitive he could be, how soothing a hand in his hair could be.

    Thankfully, Magnus seemed to enjoy it just as much. He touched Alec absently but there was always an undercurrent of purpose. They were to the stage where casual touches were familiar, commonplace. That didn’t mean Magnus didn’t crave that connection just as much, that Alec had somehow grown immune.

    Or, touch-starved malec.

    Summary

    Alex looks at him, like Henry’s a speck of dirt on his pristine chinos. “Why would June send you to check up on me?”

    “Because I’m her best friend and you’re her brother?”

    “I always said she has bad taste.”

    “Well,” Henry smiles. It feels as placid on his face as it probably looks. “I would say the same thing, but family doesn’t account for one’s taste, unfortunately.”

    in which henry fox is june’s childhood best friend and alex claremont-diaz is june’s younger brother. as the years pass, they tolerate each other at best and are downright destructive at worst. until they begin falling into each other's beds.
