Summary
In Zadash a tiefling con man and a wizard con man meet and fall slowly in love with plenty of bumps along the way.
The late autumn leaves scattered across the road just outside the bus station. Molly looked around hoping to find somewhere to rest his feet and maybe get a beer. Most of the inns and taverns on this side of Zadash were not worth stepping into, too small and they’d notice his hustle. He needed somewhere prominent, somewhere loud, somewhere that they would be too pissed to notice his hands in their pockets.
Somehow in the short con, he meets a soft wizard who he can't seem to get enough of.

Summary
It was mechanical, the way that armor came off and was stacked and placed aside. Ashton’s vest was discarded in a heap on the floor to the side. Orym’s shirt and pants were neatly folded over and laid on top of the chest in the room over three sprigs of mint he’d grown the day before. Ashton’s boots were left in front of the chair he sat in to take them off. Orym’s sandals were neatly lined up under the foot of the bed.
Soon they were in just under things, looking across the space at each other.
Ashton tilted his head toward his bed and asked, “Want to fuck around before bed?”
In with Friends with Benefits works fine, until they realize, after some sex that's... different, that they might want a little more.

Summary
Something has gone horribly wrong in the circle. She checks her book again and frowns, looks over her notes and frowns. Gets distracted by the wheezing breath of the creature in the circle, and frowns.
At first, it paced lashing at the magic holding it, then it cackled. Now several hours later, bored, it is sitting sprawled in the circle watching her.
Its eyes are the thing that is hardest for her. Laudna has seen a lot of creatures through her time as a witch. She has summoned or dismissed a number of them herself. Many have even been from the hells, as she suspects this one is. This strange looking goat-creature is different.

Summary
The fever didn’t go away with Fearne’s (reluctant) healing, and Dorian knows that he is in hot water. It would be half a day before they could smell the heat on him; as far as they all know he is a beta and he’d love to keep it that way but suppressant potions are hard to find in Zeprah and he’s been trying to ask quietly with no luck.
Finally, he takes Orym aside. It is no small feat to get any alone time with the uneager leader of their pack. Orym looks suspicious as they close the door to a bedroom in the cottage they rented.

Summary
“Hey Ash, come sit with me.” Orym asked, smiling and holding his hands behind his back. He complied easily sitting down on the low bench that put him at eye level with Orym across the small dinner table in Orym’s apartment. “I got you something.”
“Alright.” Ashton was skeptical but took the box closed with a ribbon and untied the bow.Series

Summary
Orym just didn’t understand what he was asking for, Ashton couldn’t, wouldn’t hurt him. They slammed through the room trying to let the excess frustration burn off of them while they replayed the conversation on an imperfect loop in their head. “I want you to let loose Ash, I’m not glass. Wreck me, I don’t want to walk right after you’re done.” He’d taken Ashton’s hands and looked him in the face as he said it, even if his red ears gave away his embarrassment. Ashton had said No. Just outright. Orym had tried to convince him it was okay and Ashton had gotten up and stalked away.

Summary
The Spire by Fire was bustling as the crew settled in. They had a usual table and a usual bottle at this point and while it felt nice it also felt stifling to Ashton. He didn’t try to stir the pot, sore but manageable. He took his usual spot at the head of the table, Orym on his right, Chetney on his left, with plenty of room to stretch out his legs.

“Make a little noise next time,” Ashton says, dropping to the first dry patch he finds.
“It’s hard to make noise on the sand.” Orym points out.
“Then whistle.”
“I don’t know how.” Orym says smiling, “I had an actual whistle on the watch so I never needed to learn.”Series

Summary
Somehow the thief they were chasing made it to the roof, the fleet-footed katari had made it up the wall easily and Ashton and Orym on foot were at an impasse.
“I got you,” Ashton said and as Orym looked up Ashton had laced his fingers together like a step and without any hesitation Orym stepped into the spot and Ashton more or less threw him onto the roof. “Keep going and I’ll catch up!” Ashton shouted as he turned and followed the side of the building. Orym sprinted after the katari able to jump the roof gaps with more grace than even the catfolk could muster.Series

Summary
Sitting on a crate in the alley outside the club was more Orym’s speed. He’d agreed immediately when others in the group had because he missed both of his friend groups and was excited that they had finally intersected. He didn’t realize he was agreeing to a hooka lounge with Turkish coffee and dancing. Now he was jittery and his chest hurt. He’d quietly gone to the bathroom and had been hiding in the alley where the air was less oppressive. Trying to get it back together so he could go inside.
