    The ship that arrived on Viktor's island should have been like any other. Another sailor, fated to be transformed at Viktor's hands, then forgotten about to the rest of the world.

    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

    In a game that’s considered an escape from reality for Jayce, he soon discovers there are more parallels in the fantasy to his own life than he first thought. Viktor's character, The Herald, is more human than he thought, and has begun making those human feelings known to Jayce- er, The Defender.

    Viktor assures him that in-game flirting with friends is part of the fun of D&D, but with a hoard of mind-controlled robots to defeat, and his master’s thesis due soon, the lines have begun to blur for Jayce.

    Maybe his feelings- or, his character’s feelings, of course- for Viktor are the least of his problems.

    Or maybe they’re at the center of it all.

    Summary

    Like clockwork; check the time, numb the gums, wait for the bus, have a fag, start work, internally squirm under Vander’s undivided attention, make jaegerbombs on autopilot until his break, mood depending have a smoke out the back or a sneaky line in the bathroom, flirt shamelessly to no result, finish up and make the depressing early morning commute home.

    Except nothing goes to plan tonight.

    _

    Twenty four year old, off the rails Silco meets his match in forty eight year old bar owner Vander.
