    Summary

    “You know,” Andor pants, “if you were trying to catch me by surprise, then—oh—congratulations, you have managed it.” Luthen closes his eyes, tries to roll his hips back against Andor. “That’s how it is with you, right? It’s masks on masks. Which is the real one?” Luthen laughs, breathless and dizzy with unfamiliar pleasure.

    “Wrong question again,” he tells Andor, who furrows his brow and twists his mouth, but keeps fucking into Luthen with a precision that is overwhelming. Efficient, Luthen thinks to himself, and almost laughs again. Then Andor grinds against the right spot inside of him and Luthen shakes, melts back into a conjoined pile of limbs held together by Andor’s hand on his hip.

    “You didn’t think about it,” Andor says, fucks into him faster, “I put my gun in your hand and you didn’t have to think about it, did you?”

    “No,” Luthen tells him, voice fraught and biting his cheek so hard blood spills into his mouth, “I had already decided before I walked into the ship.”

    Summary

    Cassian gets two fingers on his wrist and brushes his thumb against Luthen’s rabbit-quick pulse.

    “Increased cardiovascular activity, elevated body temperature… it is poison, then.”

    “We’ll make a doctor out of you yet,” Luthen says, dry. There’s a bead of sweat pooled in his cupid’s bow. “I’m not going to keel over, Andor. Save the mother-henning.”

    “Fuck you as well,” Cassian tells him, and tightens his grip on Luthen’s wrist. It’s then that it happens—Luthen’s breath hitches, and he turns so still that Cassian is for a moment concerned that his heart has given out where he’s standing. Then he watches the way Luthen’s pupils have dilated and the way his throat is working and blinks. “Oh,” he says, and laughs. “You could have just said—here I was thinking we were going to have to race it to Vahi for a specific anti-venom.”

    “I’m glad this is entertaining for you."

    “This was your plan, really? Hiding out in a corner until it passes?”

    “Would you have preferred I do it in the cockpit?” Luthen shrugs his coat back onto his shoulders. Cassian doesn’t fight very hard to keep the smile off his face—it’s not that he delights in Luthen’s discomfort, but it’s novel to see him falter this way.

    Summary

    Melissa has always been a gambler.
    She is a pro at knowing when to hold her cards close to her chest, or when fold and give in. On top of it all, she has been walking away from whatever tugged on her heart for the last decade.

    …And everything about her life both in and out of Abbott is telling her to run.

    Determined not to let her chips fall, Melissa goes all in, playing every dirty move she has until the day she runs out of aces.

    Melissa-centric, focusing on her relationships with her work family, dealing with the dynamics of her biological family, the district actually coming through for Abbott to have a counselor three days per week (femslash slowburn), and all the reasons that Melissa has a difficult time opening her heart up to love that can’t be explored in a sitcom without it becoming a drama

    chapter seventeen is not the end of the story - but ends on a happy note for an author's personal hiatus

    Summary

    It was a simple mission. Carmen would play decoy while Shadowsan stole the jewel. Unfortunately, VILE had other plans. And Carmen escaping wasn’t part of them. But one thing was for sure. This mission was not supposed to end with a funeral.
