Summary
There were eight of them. Eight members of the Mighty Nein and two of them left. It shouldn’t have been this hard. They should’ve been able to stop Lucien. But it didn’t matter how many steps ahead they thought they were, he always managed to wriggle his way out at the last possible moment. And that’s how they’d failed. And Lucien had succeeded.

Summary
Oh, hey, y’all! I guess this is just what I do now. -shrug-
Have some things that fit into the context of Heat: alternative takes, extended/deleted scenes, remixes, b-sides, fan requests, whatever!
If you haven’t read Heat, please do so if you like. It’s a CP2077 twist on the sex pollen trope; you don’t have to have read it to enjoy these, but some small details will make more sense if you take the time.
TL; DR facts: V has been injected with Heat, a roofie-like drug with long-term effects on libido and inhibitions; the wounds change in appearance if the drug is active in her system; reactions can be prompted by from emotional spikes, adrenaline rushes, and synthetic chemical ingestion; she has pills from Vik that help with symptoms but also partially block out Johnny, and caffeine and cold showers help; she has a pre-recorded video expressing her enthusiastic consent if she’s in a compromising situation (enthusiastic consent is hot, friends).

Summary
Now Steve can smile what he’s been told is his sexiest smile. “Does that mean you’ll want to do it again?” He mimes checking his watch, even though his watch is somewhere on Eddie's bedroom floor. “Because not to brag or anything, but I’ve been known to go a few rounds in a night. Give me, like, half an hour, maybe twenty minutes.”
“Well, I’ll be,” says Eddie. He looks adorable and extraordinarily fuckable with a blush staining his cheeks. “Will Harringtonian wonders never cease.”

Summary
Caleb had caught Essek's attention immediately.
And ever since, this strange little neglected attraction has been bothering him. He initiates a mutually beneficial arrangement upon realizing that Caleb's interests match his own surprisingly well. A purely physical, transactional deal.That would be fine, if it were not for the dangerous implications and weaknesses.
Or for those many in-betweens when Essek is far too interested in what's beyond the boundaries of their agreement...
