    Summary

    “Damn. I guess I’ll cheat, then.” Peter sharpens the cue stick, striding around the table. He gets a reluctant laugh from Jon, not because of his words, but how drolly he delivered the threat.

    “Don’t you dare.” He swirls the liquid remaining inside of the glass. It gleams like molten gold. “Besides, it doesn’t matter. We didn’t wager anything.”

    “Should we have?”

    Peter is standing too close. Jon tilts his head back. “No. If we were playing for keeps, I would have cleaned you out five rounds ago. Bad form to trounce your hosts who also happen to be your donors, isn’t it?”

    “Careful, Archivist. You’re growing on me.”

    Summary

    “What happens if I don’t?” Jon's hand is on the doorknob, gripping it so tightly that his fingers cramp. “H-how am I a danger to the others?”

    “I told you, Elias didn’t exactly leave me the Archivist manual. But at a guess?” Peter pretends to give it a great deal of consideration. “I’d say you’re capable of far more harm than you realize. For all the Watcher’s… passive proclivities, it’s old. Very old. And demanding of what it wants. Something you’re beginning to understand.”

    Jon soldiers on through another wave of nausea. “A-and Elias? You’re going to run this idea of yours through him?”

    “Pet, that’s going to be half the fun of this." Peter smirks delightedly. "Elias doesn’t get a say in this. He only gets to watch.”

    Summary

    It wasn’t meant to happen the first time, and Gerry swears it will never happen again. So it’s only natural that he bends Bouchard over his perfect desk several days later.

    Or: Artist Gerard Keay and literature professor Dr. Elias Bouchard dislike each other immensely; they were bound to fall in love someday.

    Summary

    Atsushi had once seen Rashomon as the black beast that, as Ryuunosuke once described it himself, a monster that devoured anything and everything. It was an omen of death, violence and blood. And for a long time, Atsushi believed him.

    Then, things changed.

    And he didn't see it that way anymore. Not when things had changed this much between them.

    Now, Atsushi intended to know and love everything about the man called Akutagawa Ryuunosuke.
