    Summary

    “I think we should go to the beach together,” Jayce says, in a rushed sentence.

    Then Jayce adds, “To study.”

    And then, after another beat, Jayce concludes, “Crustaceans.”

    Viktor stares. Then clarifies, bewildered, “For the Hexclaw?”

    “Yeah,” Jayce says, gripping the back of his neck. Viktor notes that Jayce is not far off from the color of a steamed crustacean himself, at the moment. “For the Hexclaw.”

    Summary

    One summer day, two unlikely paths cross in the alley behind Bonnet Group’s towering skyscraper: Stede is at the end of his rope, and Ed’s just taking a smoke break. Of course, after they’ve become inseparable, Ed’s past catches up to him as Stede tries to find a way out of his own obligations, and the solace they’ve found in each other is threatened.

     
    “You’re freaking out in here,” Lucius says, shutting the door behind himself. He grabs two rocks glasses from the bar cart and a decanter of the good whisky and sets it all on Stede’s desk.

    “Astute,” Stede declares. “I’ve asked Ed on a date.”

    “Ooh, Mr. Mechanic?” Lucius simpers, and Stede blushes. “Haven’t you two been dating for weeks?”

    “Wh—No, we’re friends!” He says.

    “Oh, my God, you can’t be serious,” Lucius says.

    Summary

    Jayce Talis has had a meteoric rise from B-list TV actor to Oscar nominee, a result of constant work and dedication to his craft. It should be the stepping stone to bigger and better projects.

    Yet, when he receives a letter from his old writing partner after seven years of zero contact, he drops everything to fly to New York and work with him again, this time on the stage. New conflicts rise amongst old tensions, but Jayce knows that in the end, making art with Viktor is worth all the heartache. Right?

    Summary

    It’s too easy for Jayce to forget, sometimes, that Viktor isn’t nice. Viktor’s good. Viktor’s kind. Viktor wants to lift up the weak and the helpless and cast down the mighty. But he isn’t nice. And he’s only human: sometimes, he takes things too far. Sometimes, Jayce wonders if Viktor pictures perfection as a vast white wasteland: sterile, untouched.

    But Jayce isn’t one to criticise. He, too, has his flaws. That night, Jayce pictures Viktor bent over the welding bench and he takes himself in his hand, moving quick and fast and cruel until he comes. Yes: he, too, has his flaws.

    Or: Jayce is down bad, and Viktor slowly notices.
