    Summary

    “Dude, what’s wrong?”

    “Nothing,” Keith grunts. His arms are crossed so tightly that it looks painful.

    “Are you sick?” Lance asks. “‘Cause no offense, but you look terrible.”

    He watches as Keith’s nostrils flare, and his eyes fall shut for a few moments. He even takes a deep breath, like he’s praying for patience.

    Or: Keith accidentally injests an alien aphrodasiac in the middle of a banquet. Apparently, there's only one cure.

    Summary

    They didn’t talk about the disease. It terrorized Takashi, the thought of losing his freedom. It terrorized Adam, too, because Takashi’s spirit would die long before his body did. He couldn’t bear the thought of this happy, gentle man slowly losing his good cheer. It seemed hardly possible, yet Adam had seen glimmers of it. During the bad days, when switching meds, after a particularly hard training session in the sims, there were signs of the unhappiness that was to come. Takashi would be withdrawn, subdued, the usual smile gracing his face turned down at the corners. Adam hated that, hated how helpless it made him feel, hated how he knew someday Takashi would withdraw too far into himself for him to reach.

    Summary

    “Sweetheart,” says Lance, his hair longer, his shoulders broader, the slope of his nose uneven now where it didn’t used to be, “you don’t know the half of it.”

    Summary

    No one ever told you how hard it was to be sexy during a Washington winter, especially not Fifty Shades of Grey, which Lance often felt like the star of. And, all right, in all fairness, Keith wasn’t Christian Grey levels of wealthy, and he didn’t have any secret sex rooms, and Lance was not with him because he’d signed his ass over to a repressed BDSM god.

    Don’t get Lance wrong. Keith was definitely a repressed rich boy. It was just that he was Mr. Grey’s inverse: the type of repressed rich boy you had to beg to spank you and even then there was no telling if he’d have to leave the room afterwards because he felt so torn up with guilt at having to hurt you. Which he didn’t. Or, well, he did, but Lance liked it. Enough to ask for it, anyway.

    And was that honestly so crazy?
