    Summary

    Set during Chapter 9. in Homecoming Wings (the "captive bird" arc), where Caleb keeps MC in Skyhaven. This is a divergence from canon: a little exploration of what their last night together might've become if the cage cracked open before the Deepspace Tunnel took him back.

    Three days, he gives her and this is the last of them. One final night locked in his room above the clouds before the Deepspace Tunnel takes him back.
    The night leaves more behind than either of them meant it to tension, questions, the unbearable weight of all the things they couldn't say. And somewhere in the distance growing between them, she finds she's closer to him than she's ever been. Close in a way that won't ever quite leave her.

    Summary

    Set a few months before the start of the main story.

    Grandma Josephine, noticing how hard her adopted granddaughter has been pushing herself through hunter training, books a hot spring trip so the girl can finally relax. Accompanying her: the two men who served as fragments of her childhood , Caleb, home on leave from the academy, and Zayne, the heart surgeon who's quietly stepped back into her life.

    She's blissfully oblivious to the tension simmering between them. She has no idea it traces back to an accident she doesn't even remember.

    And of course, of course, there's only one room. Three days. Two men who can't stand each other. One girl caught between a cold front and a warm one.

    They'll learn about each other. They'll steal a little peace. They'll soak in the steam and pretend the standoff isn't happening.

    Before the world that was always against them comes crumbling down.

    Summary

    “God, pips. You’re making my job real fuckin’ hard.”

    You trail a daring finger along the prominent outline straining through the front of his jeans, the subtle twitch of his cock beneath your touch igniting a thrill that spreads through you like wildfire.

    “Just your job?”

    or, your attempt at seeming unbothered by Caleb working shirtless at Abercrombie fails spectacularly, and now he won’t let you leave the fitting room until you admit you’re just as possessive of him as he is of you.

    Summary

    "The good doctor needs a little... push."

    “You want to drug him?”

    Sylus tilts your face toward him like he needs you to see it—the look in his eyes that says he's already imagined it a hundred different ways.

    “I want to drug all three of us, kitten.”

    or: Zayne gives you space. Sylus fills it with the heat of his skin against yours, the weight of a worship you've never known, and a promise to give you everything you've been too afraid to ask for.

    And if it means burning the man who once ruined him in the process? He'll strike the match with pleasure.
