    Summary

    Laurent whirled around, his heart leaping to his throat. The moment was so saturated with absurd, inordinate horror that it began to feel almost unreal, as though Damianos Vallis, the newest critical darling of the adult entertainment industry, might not be walking up the narrow corridor towards him.

    He was, of course. Laurent was not yet so far gone as to have started hallucinating.

    Summary

    Alex stares at him. Then at the dog. Then back at him. “Your dog’s name is David?”

    “Of course.” David frowns slightly. “What else would his name be?”

    “I — what the hell? You’re David!”

    David blinks. “No, I’m Henry.”

    Alex’s jaw goes slack.

    Loosely based off of this tweet: I have lived next to the same guy for 3 years. Thought his name was Steve. I call him Steve. His name is Steve in my phone. I’ve been to his apartment. We’ve had dinner.
    His name is Brian. His dog is Steve.

    Summary

    From his post, Viktor had a perfect view of him, ever studious and ever handsome, so young. Anyone with eyes and an interest in men would find Jayce interesting to watch across the room, he often told himself. Viktor was no stranger to attraction, but his proclivity for alone time had relegated him to a few trysts over the years, largely physical, never lasting. Just enough to scratch the itch.

    Watching Jayce was scratching an itch.

    Catching his eye across the room and smiling like they had a secret was scratching an itch.

    But Viktor wasn’t delusional. With all of Paris at Jayce’s fingertips, it would be ill-advised and unthinkable for him to settle for a banged-up, old librarian.

    ---
    Paris, 1976. University librarian Viktor can understand why he has a crush on a new, foreign grad student. He cannot understand why that student wants to be his friend.

    Summary

    “Damianos.”

    Damen looked up. Laurent’s gaze was level, and very blue.

    “Broadly,” Laurent said, “is it the pain? Or the being told what to do?”

    And suddenly Damen was finding it very hard to breathe. Laurent simply waited him out, his gaze fixed on Damen’s face. Damen couldn’t help remembering Nik’s description from last weekend. High alert.

    “Both,” he said finally. Laurent gave a short nod, like he was filing that away. “And…”

    “And what?”

    Damen licked his lips. “And you, I think.”

    This time the wash of pink over Laurent’s cheeks was unmistakable. Damen reveled in it, even as he fought the urge to squirm at his own confession.

    “Noted,” Laurent said, very evenly.
