Summary
In a city where nothing sticks but the alcohol spilled on the floor and no one stays for longer than they have to, Husk keeps his bar running on cheap booze, jazz music and the memories of every time Pop-rock star Angel Dust has stopped in for a drink while on tour.
Playing that first hit album on the jukebox, Husk waits for Angel to make his last tour through the city while remembering one-night stands that were never meant to mean anything but lingered like lipstick stains on a glass he never bothered to wipe clean.

Summary
There’s a birthday marked on the calendar, a cupcake in the corner drawn in soft black ink. The kind of simple note that's meant to reserve the day for joy, for balloons and laughter, for frosting kisses and candles flickering in tiny gusts of excited breath. But there’s no celebration waiting. No banner strung across the ceiling. No paper crowns or giggles echoing down the hallway. The oven is cold. But the silence is warm as a grave dug deep into my heart.
~.~
I'm emotional, so I'm writing about my daughter, who would have been six today.

Summary
Angel has spent the last four years living on the Vegas Strip, defending his tumultuous relationship with the powerful producer Valentino and convincing himself it’s as glamorous as it seems. But when a rare chance to escape arises, he seizes it, only to land in a chaotic altercation at the Velvet Spade, a rundown casino far from the Strip’s glittering lights. Now, bound by a contract to repay his debt, Angel has no choice but to work for the Spade’s stoic owner, Husk.
What begins as a desperate attempt to lay low and reclaim his freedom evolves into something far deeper. As Angel forges an unlikely bond with Husk, they work to breathe life back into the struggling casino and, in the process, begin to rebuild their broken selves.
But Valentino isn’t one to let go of what he considers his. As Angel’s past comes closing in, he and Husk must confront their deepest fears, risking everything to protect what they’ve built—and each other. In a city where the odds are always stacked, Angel and Husk discover that the greatest gamble of all is believing in themselves and each other.

Summary
When Angel wakes up in a silent room as collateral for one of Valentino's debts, he expects more of the same pain and exploitation that he's used to. But Husk surprises him with an infuriating, confusing indifference. For the first time, Angel experiences a reprieve from the cycle of cruelty, and it leaves him yearning for something he can’t quite define. Desperate for anything he's used to and drawn to Husk's confusing treatment, Angel wrestles with conflicting emotions while he waits to be released.

Summary
After another lousy day at work, Angel’s looking for a rough distraction—and there’s only one person he wants it from. But when Husk initially turns him down, Angel is left battling the echo of Valentino’s voice in his head. When that voice gets too loud, Husk steps in to remind him he’s worth more than he thinks.
Their arrangement is supposed to be simple: casual, no messy feelings. But that rule’s been getting harder to follow since the start.

Summary
“We have as long as we want,” Husk says, leaning forward. He rubs Angel evenly, which gets Angel to back his hips up in a premature attempt to regain those good sensations. “Night’s ours. Nobody’s up. I wanna take our time.”
Husk’s hand delves beneath Angel’s underwear. An immense amount of slick meets him, causing the cloth to stick in places that can’t be comfortable. Separated from Angel’s body, it cools.
“Because this—” Husk dips just low enough to nudge the tip of his middle finger just barely inside of Angel. “Belongs to us right now, baby. And I don’t rush with a treat this good.”
OR: Husk fingers Angel to completion over the bar counter. Multiple times. With varying results.

Summary
There are times for soft and sweet, for tenderness that steals his breath away like snuffing a candle. Tonight is not one of those times.
“Alright,” he says, placing a hand on Angel’s knee and squeezing once. “Whatever you need, kid. I’m here.”

Summary
"Angel is finally home after the longest fucking day since the one before and he's collapsed across from Husk, admiring the somewhat sticky counter and resting his eyes while Husk puts things away and pretends not to look at Angel. It's a fun game, one Husk loses everytime Angel catches him staring, making him flush. Angel knows he has to get up, that he can't just fall asleep here, but he keeps putting it off, telling himself one more minute and drifting off, face pressed against cool bar top.
Husk is purring. When it's the wee hours of the morning and all Husk wants is to sleep, his quiet entreaties to Angel have an undercurrent of a rumbling purr.
Maria was the same way, purring to say thank you and purring to ask him for attention, for food, for warmth. She never cared how wrong he was, how much he failed. She didn't care about Anthony, she cared about her human who provided for and understood her."
OR
A character study of Angel Dust and his relationship to cats, consent, and his body, featuring a lot of headcanons and projection and copious amounts of huskerdust.
