“Little Moon and I have an arrangement for when we’re traveling apart,” Will explained.

Orym didn't expect to fall in love a second time and he certainly didn't expect for it to all work out quite as well as this.

Summary
As Dorian ties the silky fabric over his eyes, Orym is plunged into darkness. He sits, naked, on his heels with his hands folded neatly in his lap. The bed creaks as Dorian shifts his weight and places his hands on Orym’s shoulders, coaxing him back down into the mattress until he is laid out flat. The sheets feel cool against his bare skin.
“Try to relax, darling.” Dorian’s mouth appears suddenly by Orym’s ear, hot breath bouncing off of his ear drum and sending reverberations down his spine.
Orym strains his ears for any hint of what Dorian might do next. He tracks the other man’s breathing and the slight sound of fabric on fabric as he moves. Orym’s muscles tense in anticipation when Dorian seems to settle back onto the mattress beside him.
The first touch is nearly imperceptible.

Summary
When famous singer Dorian Storm catches his fiance in the arms of another on the sofa of his dressing room minutes before they're supposed to go on stage to get married, he maybe doesn't handle it as well as he could. Orym is only at this concert to keep his friends company and it's just a coincidence he happens to be holding a sign offering to marry Dorian. The two men must then navigate their "marriage" in the public eye as well as the very public breakup Dorian just went through, a lot of emotional baggage, and - worst of all - a budding attraction that neither one was really looking for.

Summary
Shortly after Loki begins to drink in the train carriage, Sylvie decides she won't sleep but instead seek out her usual form of apocalyptic relaxation, away from her irritating... well self. After all, it's a train full of rich and attractive people, there will surely be someone at least mildly entertaining.
Annoyingly Loki has abandoned his champagne to follow her, like some sort of lost puppy, as she ducks into an empty luggage compartment, scoping the amenities.

Summary
There was nothing else to do but to acknowledge that Sylvie had gotten close to someone else while looking for him, and that she was not even a little bit willing to concede any of that relationship, even as she was still quite willing to give things with him a try.
Which takes him back to his first point: the whole thing had been a lot less awkward than he would have thought.
(Loki figures out what it means that Sylvie wants him and she wants Wanda, and maybe it might be okay if they all just decide to want each other.)
