    Summary

    The first time Yor and Loid slept next to each other it was out of necessity.

    The second time, it was accidental.

    By the third time, it had become a habit.

    Or, Twilight is clearly losing his edge. He keeps falling asleep next to his fake wife. And even when he wakes — he swears —it feels like he’s still dreaming.

    Summary

    “You need to find an outlet, find a few hours to decompress once in a while,” Franky explains. “I’ve seen it happen before: it starts out manageable—maybe you have trouble sleeping once in a while and your temper gets shorter—but it always, always gets worse, and tired, cranky, stressed out agents lead to dangerous fuck ups.”

    Franky tilts across the booth’s table and whispers conspiratorially as though what he is about to say is any different than any of the other confidential information he happily blabbed about.

    “Some guys get so stressed they can’t even come.”

    Franky darts his eyes to Loid’s face and catches Loid’s ‘too late’ grimace.

    “Gross, I did not need to know that at all.”


    Through canon typical contrived coincidences, Loid mistakes Thorn Princess for a professional dom and enlists her help for stress relief.

    Summary

    It was another lonely night, but devastatingly quiet. Mikasa’s fingers clawed into her own arms as she walked down the hall, hating herself for how much she wanted the sound of the Rumbling back because at least then, she knew where the titans were.

    Now, she didn’t.

    They were somewhere else. Moving along. Marching off to maim and massacre. It was quiet out there – so quiet.

    She wanted to be beside Jean again, feel him there, and it made her feel weak and stupid and lost, and Mikasa hated feeling weak and stupid and lost, but sitting on his bed last night, and feeling her dear friend be so near, not even an inch from her own skin, had been more relieving than she could have hoped.

    -

    Instead of spending one night in Shiganshina alone, such that canon suggests, both the Rumbling and Armin and Connie's journey take multiple days, leaving Jean and Mikasa without anyone except each other. This extended time leaves room for many things to grow, including unexplored feelings, implications for their country, and the volatile suspicion from dangerous Yeagerists who threaten both of their safety.

    Summary

    “Why does your blood smell so strange?”

    The question startled Gale, who looked up from where he sat cross-legged in front of his tent, organizing his scrolls in preparation for their upcoming “visit” to the goblin camp. He’d given Astarion a wide berth since the revelation of his vampiric condition a few days earlier, so he was surprised to see the pale elf looming over him now, a peculiar expression on his face.

    “You know,” Gale offered with a smile, “in my extensive journeys across manifold realms, I do believe that is not a question that I’ve ever been asked before. I honestly can’t decide whether or not I should be offended.”

    -

    Of the many side effects Gale has faced as a result of his whole “being physical host to an imminently destructive magical orb” problem, he somehow never anticipated his blood now apparently smelling irresistible to vampires (or at least, one particular vampire) to be one of them.
