    Summary

    There are times when the words are on the tip of Akira’s tongue. Goro, he wants to say. Goro, stop worrying. I’m not going to die because of you. But that’s no comfort at all to his knight, and Akira won’t insult him by trying.

    Summary

    Now that he was here, some of Akira’s anxiety began to fade. For all the secrecy and strangeness of this contract, he was here to do what he was always here to do, and he was good at it. He took off his shoes and went inside, peeking through the first door to see an enormous catalogue-ready living room. Akechi paced in front of the far wall, dressed impeccably in a black suit and black dress pants and black gloves.

    The one in which Akechi is a submissive who's never submitted and Akira is a professional dominant.

    Summary

    On the darkest nights, standing at the border of the dead cold forests, they can hear his screams from deep within.

    They use him as a cautionary tale. Akira, the most beautiful in all the land, reduced to a sacrificial breeding bitch for the arachnid queen and king.

    And Akechi can't save him.

    Summary

    Ren watched closely, trying to commit the sequence to memory. Four, two, six, two—

    Goro caught him staring and broke into an unpleasant grin. "By the by, I wonder which of us has more digits of pi memorized? I'll start. Three point one four—"

    Ten. When Ren tried to cover his ears, Goro used his free hand to capture one of Ren's.

    "One five nine, two six five, three five eight, nine—"

    Five, one. That seemed to be the end of it, or at least another break to avoid the elevator stopping at floors out of order. The first number had been—

    "Seven nine three. I'll confess that I'm not confident after the fifteenth digit. Your turn."

    Four, two... three? Fuck. Ren blew out an annoyed breath before replying, "I dunno, I always used twenty-two over seven."

    The Shadow Operatives have been investigating an elevator that connects to another world. While Ren has no interest in joining the team, he has plenty of interest in his boyfriend's invitation to sneak in and relive their glory days in the Metaverse. And he's definitely not trying to avoid dealing with any difficult feelings about where he is in life right now, not one bit.

    Summary

    “Shit. Kai said you were a kid, but you really are fuckin’ young.”

    “Where’s Kai?”

    “Workin’, if he knows what’s good for him.” The stranger sat in an easy sprawl at the bench, at arm’s reach, his elbows pressed over his knees. “All right, kid. Where the hell did you steal those gems from?”

    “You’re Kai’s boss?” Akira hazarded a guess.

    “Answer the question.”

    “Why should I? I don’t know who you are. You could be an undercover cop.”

    “Heh. Kai was right about that too. You’ve got some fuckin’ balls.” The stranger held out a hand. “Iwai. Kai’s boss.”
