    Summary

    V, as a rule, didn’t do jobs that required two people. This was for a few reasons that she tried very hard to explain to Dino while he gave her the scope of what needed to be done.

    One, there was no real way of knowing how someone would react under pressure until they were under pressure, and that made V nervous.

    Two, the only person that she had ever trusted enough to work with had died in another job, so without Jackie, she was purely a solo merc.

    Dino had insisted though, and something about him made V smile. With the agreement that she could pick the second person, she took the job.

    Once V confirmed that they were stealing from Militech rather than Arasaka, she decided how it would be best to approach Takemura with the idea.

    Summary

    "Shit,” V whispered, “do something.”

    V honestly had been expecting a gun to be drawn, a knife, anything other than Jackie gently tipping her chin up and covering her lips with his.

    It was a deliberate kiss, convincing, and it was easy for V to wrap her arms around his shoulders and push herself up onto her toes to kiss him back.

    One of Jackie’s hands found her lower back, pulling her in close so any part of her that might have been a target was blocked by his massive form.

    He was a clever man, Jackie Welles.

    Summary

    He finally stopped across the bar top from her. “If you’re busy having a crisis, I can come back,” he offered, his curious amber eyes fixed on hers. “One hates to impose.”

    She snorted, looking up at him through the shock-white hair that had fallen loose from her bun during her sulk. “Does one?”

    “Oh,” he deadpanned, shaking his head, “most assuredly.”

    With Baldur's Gate rebuilt and her friends scattered to the winds, Tav decides to settle down as a tavern keeper and relax into a quiet retirement of serving drinks and spinning stories. Unfortunately, every single one of her new neighbors seems to think she's untrustworthy at best and terrifying at worst.

    Every one, that is, except Rolan.

    Summary

    He unexpectedly turned as he closed the door and caught Daphne observing him. Their eyes met, she blushed in embarrassment, and—

     

    Every time he smiled, really smiled with his whole face, the world around him seemed to dim in comparison. He made her want to take up painting again. Or pastels, or any of the other art forms she’d left behind when she graduated from RISD and started her first bookmaking apprenticeship. She’d never felt compelled to make representational art, but Gale Dekarios in the full bloom of joy was absolutely worth representing.

     

    In which tiny, remote Icepeak College mysteriously hires a massively overqualified antiquities scholar in the middle of term, and its book arts workshop director finds herself inexorably pulled into his orbit. In her defense, he's really fucking hot.
