Summary

Eddie should've never succumbed to Steve's erratic nervosa and made a stupid bet with him. Now, he was stuck playing baseball for the rest of the summer. All while Steve strutted around in tiny shorts and flashed him that breathtaking smile. Parties, late nights, tanned beautiful skin, sweat and the crooning sounds of Judas Priest were the only things that would hold him together.

Summary

“They are hardly the first Lord and servant to spark such rumors.”
“That right?” I leaned in again. I could see the barest hint of a tattooed scale peeking over his high shirt collar.
“Indeed. Some of them even true.”

When both desires of the heart and voices from the past begin reaching for him, Fitz must decide which path he will choose - will he take the one foretold to him by the Fool, or forge a destiny of his own making?

Summary

"Please, cover it!" he said again, raising his hands as if to shield his eyes from me, though he still stared out the window. Frowning, I tugged my collar shut a bit tighter. His cheeks had taken on a deep flush, and his eyes had affected an odd glossiness that troubled me. Though the charm was now tucked safely away in my shirt, he still averted his gaze dazedly when he turned back around to face me, as if he was frightened to look at me dead on.

An alternate ending to the iconic Fool's Errand thirst trap necklace scene.

Summary

I missed my friend the Fool. He was not as distant as he had been when we still fought, but neither did he feel quite within my reach, either. And so often we were surrounded by others, and I could do or say nothing about it, so I suffered the tiny gulch between us in silence, always a step removed from where I actually wanted to be.

But we were all alone now, and I was sick and frightened, and the only thing I wanted, in all the world, was for somebody to hold me and comfort me. "Please," I begged him, recalling despairingly how little my pleading had mattered when his face was painted and his name had been Amber. "Please lie beside me for a while. I just- I need- I cannot-"

In which Fitz convalesces and is comforted, in a myriad of unexpected ways.

Summary

"Stop it," he whispered weakly. "You don't know what that does to me."

"Neither did they. Are they still so much more worthy of this than I am?" I asked, doing it again. "Do you still believe I could never do for you what you claim they can?"

With liquor flowing and tensions running high, Lord Golden and Tom Badgerlock exchange words, and FitzChivalry and Beloved exchange a fair bit more. But when everyone is awarded the very same prize, no one man can ever truly win.

Or can they?
