Summary
Alan had been aware that Jack saw him at the Gala in the servants uniform, but he hadn’t thought the Baron would be aroused by it. Not with the way he was hurriedly pushed into an empty room in the Lords townhouse, uniform already laid inside on the table.
And then Alan just had to put it on. It was simple wasn’t it?

Summary
After a second encounter with Arthur Manning, Edwin needles Robin about him.
‘Shocked as I’m sure we all are to discover I wasn’t a blushing virgin when we met,’ Robin murmured, when they came up for air, ‘might I remind you that one of your ex-lovers is our very regular dinner guest?’
‘That’s different,’ Edwin told him, tracing the bow of his upper lip with a finger. ‘Jack still barely puts up with me. Manning looks at you like he’d like to have you for dessert and then go back for seconds.’
‘He’s happily married, as I understand it.’
‘Still,’ Edwin said. ‘Only I get to have you for dessert.’

Summary
Edwin's given Robin and Adelaide's engagement the go-ahead. But with the Last Contract business cleared up, Addy double checks.
‘There were other reasons the betrothal made sense that haven’t changed,’ he reminded her.
‘Rather less serious ones,’ she argued, folding her fingers in her lap. ‘In any case: you agreed to this under very different circumstances, and I felt it would be remiss of me not to reopen the discussion.’
This time Edwin’s face did betray some of what he was feeling, his eyes widening and then softening minutely. ‘They weren’t less serious,’ he said, after a moment, quiet and earnest. ‘They certainly weren’t less important. They’re not less important now.’

Summary
As Edwin teaches him about magic, Robin finds himself distracted. Edwin proposes something a little more, uh, hands on.
‘Perhaps we should give it a rest for today,’ Robin suggested, when they parted. His hand slid round to splay over Edwin’s lower back, keeping him close as he lowered his voice. ‘Go and try something I feel more knowledgeable about.’
‘No, no.’ There was a determined look in Edwin’s eye that meant he’d regrouped and was about to tackle a problem from an entirely new angle, and a gleam that had Robin intrigued. ‘I’d be a poor teacher if I couldn’t work with what naturally motivates my student.’
He took a step backwards. Slowly, eyes never leaving Robin’s, he undid the top three buttons of his shirt, parting the starched white fabric.

Summary
Christmas, 1909.
Before they’d even come in view of the drawing room, a voice like the first burn of whiskey drawled through the door, “Have you found a beggar out wandering in the snow?”
“Nah, Ghost of Christmas Present, me. Come to talk you into giving all your wealth and worldly possessions to the working man.”
Alan took advantage of Jack’s seated lounging to stand over him and savour the novelty of glaring down at him, for a change. Going by the easy smirk on that damn mouth when he raised his chin, Jack enjoyed it too.

Summary
In the months since Maud moved into Spinet House, she and Violet have fought innumerable interpersonal battles. Every one of these fights has been explosive, loud, and incandescently arousing, and every one has culminated in a ferocious, thrilling sexual encounter that left both of them too boneless and satiated to do anything but forgive each other everything.
This fight, however, isn’t enjoyable in the least.

A missing scene from A Power Unbound from Violet’s point of view, in the aftermath of Maud’s disastrous trip to the graveyard.

Summary
“I didn’t come running all this way for your condolences,” Adelaide huffs. “I would like something a little more substantial.”
Robert’s brow furrows. “Substantial…?”
“Sir Robert Blyth, I’d like to propose a marriage.”
If Adelaide could bottle up Robert’s surprise, she’s absolutely certain she could make a killing. Unfortunately, she’s no magician; the power of it all is reserved just for her, in this moment, and will live on only in her memory.
(In which Miss Morrissey settles her own affairs, seeing as no one else sees fit to leave things as they are.)
