    Summary

    “You’re cheery for someone who can’t walk right.”
    Dezh swiveled her head to glare at Mason but, much to her dismay, she couldn’t even manage a half-glare. She did, however, snort. “Sorry my good mood offends you.”
    “Oh, it doesn’t offend me, sweetheart.” He flashed a smug smile. “I just can’t wait to see how you sputter and choke when someone asks why you’re smiling.”

     

    ***
    Part II picks up about a month after the end of Part I. If you haven't read Part I, go here: https://archiveofourown.to/works/14665905.

    Dezh and Unit Bravo return to face yet more trouble. Though, for now, Bane is not an issue, mysterious behavior in the supernatural world leads the team to believe other drugs might be to blame. But who is behind it all?

    Meanwhile, Dezh and Mason grow closer, in a way neither seems to understand. Or, for one of the pair, doesn't want to understand. Will they finally realize the depth of emotions between them? Or will they try to fight it, and each other?

    Prepare for more romance, smut, & action, as well as some surprising twists and turns in this part of their story.

    Summary

    “Morgan, would you… would you sleep with me?”
    “That’s not what you need, trust me,” she shook her head. “We don’t need to make things more complicated, right?”
    “But if it wasn’t this complicated. If I were some girl you met in the wild. Would you?”
    “In this hypothetical situation, where you and I are just strangers, sure,” she said, hoping that it would be the end of it. “But we’re not.”
    “Yes, we’re not,” Grace nodded. She paused before she continued. “At least I know that someone might want me.”
    “We both know I’m not the only one,” Morgan said, before she could stop herself, but it was too late.
    “You’re wrong,” Grace answered with such anger in her tone that it seemed that she instantly got sober. “If she wanted me, if she wanted us, she wouldn’t have acted the way she did.”

    Summary

    Frankie blinked stupidly—one, two, seven times. Then she blinked again for good measure.

    “What?” she asked, because surely she didn’t hear that correctly. Surely her mother didn’t just say—

    “You and Adam are going to be skating partners.”

     

    Frankie Fairbanks is a young pairs skater in need of a new partner for the upcoming season. Adam du Mortain is a former World Champion returning to the ice after a career-altering injury. Whether they’re a match made in heaven or hell is yet to be determined.

    Summary

    "Having poured the juice of wild mallows with oil on the meal of parched fenugreek, and having made it of the consistence of honey, rub your face and the naked parts of your body strenuously; and having swallowed some of it, breathe into the hive three or four times : and having set fire to some cow-dung in a pot, and having brought it to the entrance into the hive, permit the smoke to break in during half an hour, and take and hold the pot at some distance, that the smoke may abound on the outside ; and so take the bees." — Geōponika. Agricultural pursuits, translated by Owen Thomas

    Summary

    Adam closed the distance between them until his black combat boots nudged her feet. She sucked in a breath as he reached out and pushed back her hair, far enough to reveal the curve of her neck.

    “I am going to leave a mark on you,” he pressed his fingertips to the side of her throat, “right here. Then, in seven minutes, when she opens this door and looks inside, she will see what she wants and stop pestering us.”

     

    A rewrite of the housewarming party at the end of Book 3 featuring more Wayhaven townies and devious high school party games.

    Summary

    But gods, she was exhausted. Of the pining. Of the constant “will he, won’t he?” game he’s signed her up for. Tonight, she’d decided that she was taking a break from all of it.

    So when the tall glass of water that was Agent Ramos had held out his hand for a “dance, my lady”, she hadn’t hesitated to flash him her cheshire-cat smile and take him up on it, to the wide-eyed-gawking of Unit Bravo.
