    Summary

    Derek is a reasonable person. This is not arrogance. This is simply accurate, supported by significant evidence, including but not limited to: decoding a cipher stack in seventeen minutes, outmaneuvering a cosmic entity, and surviving six weeks of Avery.

    The six weeks are the hard part.
    Avery touches Derek's arm when he's saying something important. He leans across him and stays 1.8 seconds longer than the task requires. He says you have very nice eyes in a kitchen on a Wednesday like it's a weather report. He says I really like your face and goes back to his book.

    Derek has a catalogue. Forty-three instances. He is managing this. He goes to the kitchen a lot. He has consulted Hastur about it. Hastur was not helpful.
    On a Thursday in May, Derek says: Avery, I need you to know that when you do that, I find it very difficult to think clearly.

    Avery, it turns out, has a folder on his phone. It's called derek says things. It has forty-seven screenshots. The number keeps going up.

    (for the record: they were both managing. they were both very bad at it. the restraint is now concluded.)

    Summary

    Lance turns to face the window and starts to work on removing his chest plate. "I don't know about you, dude, but I'm tired. Can we do this later?"

    Lance hears what he can only call a growl behind him, and the hair rises on the back of his neck. His skin tingles and he has to bite down on the inside of his cheek to bring the sudden frenzy of thoughts to a stop. Wow, okay. That's… something. "Your 'later' is never."

    "That works, too!" Lance chirps. The chest plate comes off, and he tosses it to the side with the others. He starts to fiddle with his belt, but Keith's next words have him freezing.

    "Why did you kiss me?"

    Summary

    Clearly, Grace’s refusal to engage with Simon’s outwardly destructive behavior had given Simon an excuse to turn that destructive behavior inwards.

    The beam of his flashlight swept across the sandy beach, illuminating the rolling waves. The distant hum of the wave machine combined with the sound of water crashing was just enough of a comfort to make Grace want to close his eyes and go back to sleep right there.

    But he couldn’t, not without Simon at his back.

    --

    For the first time in a while, Grace wakes up alone. Simon is nowhere to be found.

    Until Grace does find him...in the ocean, with no pulse.

    Summary

    The god, manifestation of light and purity itself, didn’t have a literal blinding smile anymore. His smiles were different. NOT that Hermes was worried or anything. If Apollo needed help, he had dozens of children, lovers, and followers to go to. Hermes didn’t need to assist with that. But, well, Apollo hadn’t spoken to him much at all since the trials. That’s what really caught Hermes' attention.

    And he’d tried to apologize for the whole bet thing.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OR: Hermes had just wanted to play a prank on Apollo to catch his attention. Bad attention was better than no attention after all. Except the prank went horribly wrong and ended up crashing through Zeus' wall. Instead of scolding Hermes to the moon and back, he turned his fury on Apollo, as if it were his fault. Hermes just happened to be hiding outside the door, catching something he was never supposed to see.
