    Summary

    “Am I interrupting?” A voice cuts through the air.

    Jayce spins around, hand still to his chest. At first he doesn’t see anyone, and then, following the sound of a small puff of exertion, notices the thin figure who’s just slumped back against the wall, cast in the overhanging shadow of the roofline.

    “No.” Jayce hears the defensiveness in his own voice. Winces at his failure to be casual. “No, um… it’s fine.”

    “You don’t look fine,” says the figure against the wall, tilting his head to the side.

    “Thanks,” Jayce laughs humourlessly, stepping forward. The figure against the wall, now Jayce can see him a little better, looks kind of like a puppet whose strings have been cut, folding in on himself, deflated. “Neither do you.”

    “Mm, very perceptive,” he holds up a finger, then returns his hand to where it was previously wrapped around his side, as though he’s holding himself together. “That is, in fact, because I am not.”

    Summary

    It's easy: what Viktor should do is call for backup. Grayson is only a shout away. He should have the impostor escorted off the potential crime scene immediately, better yet, he should threaten him with charges. Impersonating an officer. Sneaking onto the premises.

    "What is it exactly you were trying to do?" Viktor asks instead.

    The stranger sighs again. It sounds resigned. "Research, I guess?"

    Summary

    Xie Lian gets a glimpse of its eye: a hot coal set deep into unearthly, marble-like skin, onyx pupil blown so wide with bloodlust it threatens to swallow the red iris entirely. A mouth full of entirely too many teeth, extended incisors bared like daggers. Rust smeared down the pale line of its throat.

    A vampire. A feral vampire.

    Looking at him like a feast set out before a starving man.

    While wandering the mortal realm, Xie Lian stumbles upon a hungry vampire who, curiously, seems reluctant to drink from him.

    Summary

    Xie Lian had known Hua Cheng since they were teenagers. It was only natural, he supposed, that he was having a hard time reconciling the notion that Hua Cheng had become a sexual creature.

    He wasn't a prude, though!

    But, he may have been a little repressed.

    Xie Lian knew, fundamentally, that masturbation was supposed to feel good. That was why people did it, after all. Not Xie Lian, of course; he never had the time to waste to figure out how.
