Summary
The “Partners Weekend” at Merrick Industries was a bit of a joke, and in more ways than one. Who actually had time to spend a long couples weekend with people you worked with? But Joe had slaved away too many hours at his desk to blow off his chance at a promotion just like that. Particularly when all he had to actually do for it was spend a weekend in some manor house in the English countryside with his colleagues.
Which led him to his current predicament: Who of his friends would agree to pose as his spouse for four days – and at one week’s notice?
Double fake-dating AU: Joe asks Quynh to pretend to be his wife for an important work social at Merrick Industries. Andy brings her good friend Nicky under a similar guise. Only of course none of them are actually straight, and of course none of them are willing to admit that.
A dumbasses-to-lovers story.

Summary
The thought of this mystery person evoking such adoration that it eclipses anything that his brother once had for him — Clive is afraid to label it jealousy. He swallows the lump in his throat as it burns, bitter as gall and dry as wine.
The taste of grief and loss, of mourning something that was once his.
Or, Dion asks if Clive knows of any churches around. Joshua tags along. Some sentiments cannot wait until the end of the world.

Summary
In the wake of Phoenix Gate, Clive fights to keep his brother's throne. For Joshua, it's a trial of loss he cannot keep from repeating. But he will find a way.
“I know,” Joshua repeats, as Clive’s fingers settle deeper in his hair, carding out the apology he can’t make. “I know you have to go. If we lose Rosalith, we lose—” Rosaria, he means to say, but Clive interrupts him.
“—I lose you. There isn’t a place I could send you on Storm safer than this city.” He smiles. “Allow me to do my duty, lord marquess.” The title sounds funny on his lips.
Joshua rises and sorts himself. “I can order you to stay.” He won’t, and he wouldn’t.
Clive’s smile tugs to one side. “You can try.”

Summary
joshua rosfield, archduke of rosaria, makes good on a very old promise to his first shield.
“Do you remember, dear brother,” the Archduke’s voice is a fond croon, “that we were promised to each other as children?”
As much as he’s shivering under the fiery gaze of the Phoenix, Clive cannot help the smile that comes to his face—something near shy, as he resists the urge to hide it behind his hand. The question dredges up old memories, from when Joshua was barely out of his swaddling clothes and Clive yet unmolded, traipsing valiantly through the meadows of Rosalith’s courtyards, taking Clive by the sleeves of his fine dress to hold tight to him. It’s a warm memory, the feeling of sunlight on his cheeks and the earnest declaration of a child, Did you know we’re supposed to get married someday, like Mother and Father? Close to his heart, something flutters. A pleasant heat spreads from somewhere in his chest through the rest of his body.
