    Summary

    When filling out the application, he was very detailed in his skill set. Writing, editing, research, filing, archival work, that sort of thing. Really, the opportunity to work in some sort of local publication’s office or town history archive would’ve been rather pleasant! That’s what he was expecting, anyway.

    Those expectations flew out the window and all the way back to London when his shuttle pulled up to a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere….God, where was he? What state bordered Georgia? Louisiana? Kansas? Didn’t matter. Apparently, twenty hours a week, he was going to be the part-time summer farmhand.

    Brilliant.

    In which Jon is spending the summer abroad in America, and Martin is a farmhand eager to become friends.

    Summary

    The new guy coming into Martin's work keeps on pestering him, but it's fine because he's cute. With every shitty thing going on in Martin's life, a small flirt never hurt anyone, even if Jon is totally out of his league with his ripped jeans and painted nails.

    OR

    Martin, the new clerk at the corner store, refuses to sell Jon his cigarettes because he isn't old enough, and it would be "illegal".
    Thankfully, Jon is stubborn enough not to admit defeat. He just has to keep on trying.

    This isn't about the cigarettes anymore, is it?

    Summary

    His eyes are at once dead and horribly, horribly alive. The milky film over his cornea does little to hush the luminous golden brown of his irises, huge around pupils so shrunken that Martin can hardly see them.
    Jonathan Sims blinks. Then he frowns.
    “Am I to take it you’ve never met a vampire, then?”
    Oh, Martin is going to get a rubbish review.

    Or,

    Struggling for income, Martin registers with an app that connects vampires with willing blood donors. His first client is not at all what he expected.
