    Summary

    At forty years old, Viktor is a freshly divorced small bookstore owner. He finally has the life he’s always wanted, having left his ex-husband and the unforgiving world of academia behind. Now, he spends most of his time reading, writing book reviews, and organizing bookish events.

    When Jayce Talis, the country’s most famous thriller writer, returns from a two-year absence with a harrowing novel about a man’s fall into a ravine and subsequent descent into madness, Viktor knows he has to try to invite him to a Q&A and pick his brain. What starts off as a business agreement quickly becomes more, as sparks fly and the two men find themselves craving each other’s company more and more.

    Will they find what they have always searched for in each other, or will they let their fears get the best of them before they can even become something more?

    Summary

    He even allows himself a moment to think that maybe his luck has turned around. That after the explosion at his place and all the sneers from the Council and the way any hope had seemed impossibly far away just a day ago, now things are looking up. Now he has a partner and they've solved the equations and they're going to get his equipment back and maybe it will actually all work out.

     

    Until he hears the sound of shoes, of someone walking towards them, and realizes that they're fucked.

     

    Viktor must realize it too, because he immediately grabs the key ring and shoves the whole thing into his pocket in an instant as Jayce fumbles to click the light off. He's already trying to come up with some sort of excuse, some kind of plan, when Viktor, swift as anything, surges to his feet, fists a hand in the collar of Jayce's shirt, and hauls him in to press their mouths together.

     

    Day Four - Free Day: Viktor comes up with another excuse for why they're skulking outside Heimerdinger's lab that still involves access to his bedroom.

    Summary

    Jayce was going to die. Right here, in this lab, from sheer secondhand embarrassment and utter confusion.

    Sky thought they were together. She wasn’t the only one. And instead of correcting her, Viktor had— what, silently agreed?

    A single kiss was one thing. Dating was quite another.

    “I, uh,” Jayce started, but he had no idea where he was going with it. “Thanks?”

    The rise at the end of his tone made it sound like a question. Though, truly, what the hell else was he supposed to say? No, Sky, don’t feel bad, you’re not silly, because actually, we’re not together, despite the fact that apparently the entire city thinks otherwise? That wouldn’t make things awkward at all.

    Sky beamed, clearly relieved. “Oh, good! I was worried for a second there. But really, I think it’s great. You two just… fit, you know?”

    Jayce did not, in fact, know.

    OR: Viktor kisses Jayce instead of telling Sky he isn't interested like a normal person. Cue the gossip mill, and Jayce and Viktor pretend to be in a relationship until it dies down.

    For purely practical reasons, of course.

    Summary

    There’s no problem at all with a fun fling while working the summer Renaissance Faire, so long as the following unspoken rules are followed:
    1: Don’t fall too fast
    2: Don’t figure out that you are fucking your future research partner

    “Caitlyn, our new blacksmith needs proper garb before the gates open in the morning. Would you please show him to his site and introduce him to my darling tailor? It would seem he’s set up just across the lane from Jayce’s smithy.”

    Mel Medarda smiles.

    “Please inform Viktor that he can thank me later.”

    Jayce and Viktor have a couple problems.
