    Summary

    Ilya’s hand wraps around his bare wrist and squeezes. Shane barely stops himself from collapsing to his knees.

    The pressure lights up every receptor of his touch-starved nervous system, wrenching a small, pained noise from the back of his throat. Every muted sensation comes flooding back so intensely that it almost hurts. He needs Ilya to hold him down until there’s nothing inside him but quiet. He wants to sink into him and disappear.

    It takes Shane an entire beat to remember where they are. Fighting against the fog in his mind, he manages to drag his gaze up to meet Ilya’s.

    There’s a slow-dawning horror and understanding on Ilya’s face.

    Or: Shane is in subdrop after their encounter in Vegas. Ilya fixes it.

    Summary

    York, England, 2120: Yuuri Katsuki is a dime-a-dozen techie, spending his days doing routine repairs at the university. He hangs out with his friend Phichit, goes for a drink, watches holograms. It’s an existence – but is it a life?

    Crowood Castle, Yorkshire, 1392: As the son of a baron, Sir Victor Nikiforov makes judgements where lives hang in the balance. As a knight, he must sometimes end them. It’s what he was born to do – but what of the heavy burden on his soul? Death is all too commonplace, while life and love remain elusive.

    When a brilliant scientist goes rogue, journeying to the Middle Ages with the world’s first time machine, Yuuri is stunned to be called on as the last hope of preventing her from changing history. After an abrupt departure, he lands at Crowood Castle disguised as an enemy of the Nikiforovs, Sir Justin le Savage – and will need to act the part if he is to survive. It’s a tall order for someone who can barely tell the back end of a horse from the front. But if Ailis, in her own disguise, discovers who he is, his mission will end in a blaze of laser-gun fire. He must not give his real identity away, even to the beguiling knight he’s falling in love with…

    Summary

    Bitty was getting hot from dancing and needed a quick break, so he slipped on some shoes and headed out to the back porch. He only intended to stay out there for a few minutes, maybe seconds even, since it was December after all, but as he was standing there, he heard a strange hacking noise coming from around the side of the house. It was probably someone throwing up, because this was an Epikegster, but Bitty felt like he should probably check to see if whoever it was was okay, especially if they were one of the team or something. He rounded the corner of the Haus hesitantly, and instead of a teammate or another college student, he found . . . Kent Parson? Who was having some sort of coughing fit, and the ground around him was littered in rose petals.

    AKA Kent Parson has had Hanahaki Disease since the draft, and Bitty finds him coughing up flower petals after the Epikegster
