    Summary

    If it were safer, I would have kissed you in the daylight.

     

     

     

    East Berlin, 1964.

     

     

    Warren Kepler, dutiful Stasi officer, lives in the static—recording dissidents, obeying orders, trying not to feel too much. Gray rooms. Gray rules. A life half-lived.

    Then he hears the voice.

    Doug Eiffel, brash American spy and pirate broadcaster, slips through the airwaves with jazz, sedition, and laughter wrapped in smoke. He’s everything Warren shouldn’t want—and everything Warren can’t stop needing.

    What begins as surveillance becomes obsession.
    Obsession becomes contact.
    Contact becomes something far more dangerous.

    Across a city built on silence, two men risk everything for the sound of each other’s breath.

    Summary

    “You need me to spell it out for you? Okay. Fine. I hate you. I –” The metal bar digs into his fingers. He squeezes harder. “I should have left you to die. I wish I had, because I will never forgive you. Once we’re back on Earth, I don’t ever want to see you again, if I can help it.”

    The survivors return to Earth, where staying away from Kepler proves harder than Jacobi thought.

    Summary

    Jacobi took a shaky breath, his hands resting on Kepler’s now bare chest. “Yeah, just… can we— can we pretend like this is the first time?”
    Kepler kissed behind his ear and swayed with him for a moment. “I would like that.
    “What would you have said to me if you really had wanted to take me home in that bar when we met?” Jacobi murmured, hooking his fingers into Kepler’s waistband. “What would you have done?”
    “Ah. Well I wouldn’t have taken you home from that bar on that day. It was 3pm and you were very drunk.”
    “Okay, a different bar. Any bar.”
    Kepler frowned slightly. “I don’t want you to be a stranger; I want you to be–... We can still make this the first time that counts.”

    AKA after the events of The Channel Fades to Snow, they figure out how to be together again.

    Summary

    “Have you been a good boy, Major? Has he, Jacobi?”
    “Mmmm… yeah, I think so. He did schedule those extra days in Greece last month.”
    “Yes! He did!” Maxwell grins. Taking hold of his chin, she turns his face up and stares into his eyes as she rolls her hips against him. Kepler gasps, squirming under the scrutiny, and Maxwell is a little breathless when she says, “What do you think, sir? Do you deserve a reward?”

    Naps in the office can be dangerous, Kepler realizes, because his subconscious has some rather alarming fantasies to throw at him. AKA I love giving Kepler sex dreams, it's the best.

    Summary

    At the office, he rations his touches carefully. Jacobi never initiates anything there. He always looks away first when Kepler’s eyes linger on his for too long.
    While in the field, they both know the order of priorities. The job always comes first, any stolen moments for the two of them is a lucky bonus. Several hours unaccounted for, to spend in a hotel room however they see fit, is a luxury.

    Summary

    One fuck up of a holiday proposal.
    One disaster of a business trip.
    One absolutely no-strings-attached night.

    That was the plan, anyway.
    But, when has anything ever gone to plan?

    Plus; melty margaritas, booty calls in high rise offices, messy boundaries, cigarettes, HOA controlled condos, and the truly terrifying discovery of finding out you might actually like your situationship

    Summary

    The silence drags out. It ought to be heavy, uncomfortable, but it’s almost restful. Does Cutter even breathe? All Kepler can hear is the ventilation, and the cars far below.
    “Come closer.”
    He does. Cutter beckons him again. His steps are weary when he rounds the desk.
    “On your knees.”
    He obeys. Pain flares in his leg, but it doesn’t matter.
    It’ll all be over soon.

    Kepler hasn't been the same since the events of Mercy. Now the time has come to pay his dues.

    Summary

    “Jacobi… what are you doing?”
    “Hmm, this?” He adds a little pressure to where he’s idly rubbing the inseam of Kepler’s pants, about halfway up his thigh. “Oh, nothing. Just passing the time. Unless you'd prefer a game…?”
    He trails his fingers higher, and pulls them back. Kepler shifts almost imperceptibly.
    “No… distractions.”
    “Pfffft, like having you pester me with a billion silly questions isn’t way more distracting than th-”
    Kepler clears his throat. Jacobi rolls his eyes at him and, very deliberately, puts his hand back.

    Jacobi gets creative to pass the time on a boring stakeout.

    Summary

    Jacobi has always known, in the abstract sense, that sometimes Kepler sleeps with people for work. Honeypot missions aren’t the most common, but they happen, and it’s not a secret when it does. It’s just a part of the job, same as the corporate espionage, B&E, stealing, destruction of valuable property, and killing is, and he doesn’t raise an eyebrow at any of those. So he’s fine with it. In theory.
    In practice? Well. That’s a different story, it turns out.

    Jacobi listens in to Kepler seducing a guy for work. He doesn't like it one bit.

    Summary

    Fireworks. That was how it felt when their fingers brushed. Jacobi had spent so much of the past year scolding his racing heart; he’s your boss for god’s sake (no, don’t think about how hot that is, behave, Daniel). It couldn’t work out, and he shouldn’t try. But after tonight…Jacobi may not have had a lot of relationship success in the past, but there was no way he was mistaking the way Kepler looked at him.

    They had watched the fireworks on the hood of Kepler’s car, the weather just cold enough so that Jacobi could exaggerate a shiver and huddle up next to him. And Kepler had said 'rule number eight' for what must’ve been the tenth time that night, but he wrapped a warm arm around Jacobi all the same.

    AKA Kepler takes Jacobi home after their fireworks anniversary.

    Summary

    After an op goes sideways leaving Kepler injured, Jacobi’s medical skills are put to the test—and so are the unspoken walls that exist between them.
    The fragile boundary between duty and desire crumbles, and they are left reckoning with what now and what next.

    Summary

    “Hey, boss, a little office bird mentioned you were back. How come you didn’t pop by to say hi to your fave ballistics officer? Um, Kepler, hellooo?”
    “Hi.”
    “Uh… you look like crap.”
    “Ever the paragon of tact and sensitivity, Mr Jacobi. Did you want something?”

    Kepler returns exhausted from a solo mission. Jacobi takes care of him, and ends up staying the night.
