    Summary

    In the first month of being co-opted into working with Illya Kuryakin full time at U.N.C.L.E., Napoleon stole Illya’s father’s watch four times, twice out of spite, once out of drunken curiosity, and once out of sheer boredom. After the fourth time, Gaby sprained one of Napoleon’s fingers and threatened to do worse if he did it again.

    “You are not a spy,” she told him firmly, dangling the watch out of reach as Napoleon curled in a wincing, fetal position on his Le Corbusier couch in his upstate apartment. “You are a thief with the self-control of a child. Now give me back my ring.”

    “What ring?” Napoleon asked innocently, even through the pain.

    “How fond are you of your nose?” Gaby shot back blandly.

    Summary

    Ghost lets himself be pulled up slightly, his hand just as steady on Soap's thigh. "That what you need, Johnny?" he asks, licking his lips behind the balaclava. Soap’s eyes drop to his mouth, flick back up. "You wanna draw blood? Be in control?"

    "Lt–" Soap starts, lips parted on a rough exhale. A plea or a warning, Ghost can't tell. He's too focused on the way Soap's pupils dilate, and the way the edge of the knife digs into the fabric at his throat.

    ---

    When Graves rears his head not ten days after Las Almas Ghost starts questioning Soap's loyalty, and with it whatever's left of his own sanity.

    Summary

    Choosing the Templars was the best idea at the time. It isn't as much fun as Carver thought it would be.

    Long distance relationships are still hard, even when the distance isn't physically that far, and especially when the people involved are so terminally stupid at expressing themselves.

    Warnings for soppy letters and (late) teenage angst. And stabbing. There will be stabbing.

    PLEASE NOTE: I regret choosing this title.

    Summary

    He exhales, shifting, visibly as on edge as V feels right now. Fuck, she’s getting a little worked up by so much as the proposition, which is… confusing. “You’re still going, which gets me going, which puts us both in a fuckin’--”

    “Feedback loop,” V concludes. Fuck. He’s got a point. An actual, legitimate point.

    ---

    In which V and Johnny look for convenience and find something deep, confusing, and potentially tragic.
    (If you told me I'd be stanning Johnny Silverhand and writing fanfic about Cyberpunk 2077 six months ago I would have laughed in your face. I am a clown. honk honk)

    Summary

    Okay. So she was fighting next to a templar, who would probably only lock her up for the rest of her natural life, and an elf who may or may not get an erection from watching her expire in a pool of her own blood. Hawke had been in worse places.

    Surviving as a mage in Kirkwall is harder than it sounds. A story told in vignettes.

    While some vignettes overlap or replace some scenes, most are meant to be inserted between plot points in the game. I do not bother to explain what exactly is going on in these, so if you have no knowledge of the game, the finer details might escape you, but you shouldn't be entirely lost.

    *Now with art!*
