Summary
Sejanus was no longer Coriolanus’s lifeline. Coriolanus didn’t need to appease anyone by pretending to be best friends. There were no more cameras to perform for. No authorities to manipulate. No lies to tell. No reason to pretend Sejanus meant anything to him.
Or: After Coriolanus inadvertently helps Sejanus enact his plan to break Lil out of prison, they hide out in a mountain cabin in District 2, not knowing they've incited a much greater rebellion.

Summary
“Does Lucy Gray like you back?” Tigris asked.
Coriolanus hadn’t actually considered that. He’d just assumed she didn’t and never would. He’d grown up with anything he could ever want given to him instantly, but now everything he wanted was impossibly far out of reach. Lucy Gray was no exception.
Or: Coriolanus is a full-time university student, restaurant server, administrative assistant, and on the weekends he cleans and presses gowns. Occasionally he sleeps. So he really doesn't have time to be giving the weird bartender a ride home every night. And he definitely doesn't have time to become obsessed with her.

Summary
“Has my father been kind to you?” Xie Lian asks.
“As kind in someone in his situation can be.” There’s an underlying respect in San Lang’s words, an acknowledgement of the weight of the situation. Xie Lian doesn’t know how he can do this for a living, watching over the nights of the dying.
A sudden calm takes over. He feels no harmful intent from San Lang. Then again, he reminds himself, he had felt the same about Jun Wu. The cruelest people are often the ones who make you feel safest.
Or: When Xie Lian's father enters hospice care, Hua Cheng is hired to be his nurse. Also, all the people who have ever wronged Xie Lian have been dying.

Summary
“Mm,” Toto hummed, neutrally. He took George’s head between his warm, very large hands, looking at him in the same way an owner would firmly hold their dog’s head to assess their eyes for the fever of disobedience. It had the peculiar effect of meeting his gaze while making George feel like they weren’t making eye contact at all.
“Is that alright, George? If we did?” he asked, softly. “I am, how do they say. Old school.”
“Yes,” George rasped. “Please.”Bookmarked by betts

He’d secretly decided to think of it all as noble, years back. A knight swearing fealty to his lord, kneeling before the light touch of the sword.

Bookmarker's Notes
The affair isn’t ancient history, it is as fresh as a blink of an eye, it is last Tuesday, it is her best birthday, it is the first time she saw Sweeney Todd as a child. It hangs between them, a mistake so vast it is an ocean that cannot be crossed, a barrier and a shield. They can't be close the way family is supposed to be close, they robbed themselves of that — of intimacy that isn’t lecherous, of dinners out, phone calls, hugs and kisses without the underlying tension of more, give me more than what this is — what exists in its stead is a secret, an understanding between thieves

Summary
When he was growing up, he was so afraid of scorpions he thought about them every ten seconds, every five. Started drawing them on his desk at school. Dreaming about them. Catching them under cups in the garage. He knew every fact there was to know about scorpions.
He was wearing one on his back right now, custom stitched onto his jacket. He had asked for that. Wanted it. Paid money for it.
Maybe Standard was afraid of another man fucking his wife the way he used to be afraid of scorpions.

Bookmarker's Notes
“I would have.” He said it coolly into the boiling space between them, like stepping in to break up a fistfight. The right thing to do, and the truth.
He would have, if she’d ever looked at him that way. He wasn’t proud of it. But she never had–or maybe only once or twice–and that had made him love her more. She was so good, so kind. She did things right, like it mattered: separated her whites and colors, made Benicio take his vitamins, didn’t cheat on her husband. She was everything he was never going to have in his life, because he didn’t live like it was going to last.
*
“She likes that,” Standard said, sliding a palm up his back and grabbing a handful of his hair. His scalp was starting to tingle. “How do you know she likes that, huh?”
“Standard,” said Irene, breathless. “Jesus Christ. Shut up.” She was fumbling at the button of her jeans, hands shaking. He pushed them away and did it for her, like he’d carried her laundry and driven her home. He wanted to do everything for her.

“You’re fucking better than this,” Roy growls, getting in his face.
Jamie’s whole body flinches.
He knows, of course, that Roy’s not going to hit him. Roy’s not the sort of person who would hit someone for losing a match. But there’s a big difference between some rival player yelling at him in the locker room and a coach yelling at him for being stupid – and an even bigger difference still between a coach and someone whose cock he’s had inside him, and he just – he forgets, for a second, and he flinches.
For a minute it’s dead silent in the hallway. The team’s stomped off to the locker room to mope, escorted by Ted and Coach Beard. Above them, fans are filtering out of the stadium, off to get drunk and beat each other up at secondary locations.
It takes a second to click, for Roy, but when it does Jamie can see it on his face. He looks like he’s had a bucket of ice water dumped on his head. “I wasn’t,” he starts, voice rough. “I wouldn’t – ”
“I know,” Jamie assures him, not meeting his eyes. “Just leave it, yeah?”

Summary
"Ignacio”, Lalo’s voice is low against his neck. “Tell me what happens now."
It's not a test, it’s not even a choice.
Still, something inside Nacho is stretched thin, so thin it might give in any second as he whispers hoarsely: "You fuck me."

Nacho's hands lie slack on the sheets as he gets fucked on his ridiculously expensive king-size bed, in his barren show-off house he did not furnish himself, with more money than he’ll ever need in his safe and everything he ever wanted right at his fingertips.
