Summary
Beta male Theo Norcott had fought tooth and nail to prove himself in the ruthless world of corporate finance, only to be overshadowed by Nicholas Hale, the company’s most infuriatingly confident Alpha executive who just bagged the promotion Theo had dreamed about. Their rivalry is legendary, Theo convinced the Alpha teased him simply due to genetics.
When a major client pitch forces them to work together, old wounds reopen, the balance between them shifts. Suddenly, every late meeting, every elevator ride, every stolen moment crackles with tension. Nicholas isn’t just watching him — he’s hunting him, testing the edges of Theo’s resistance with a patience that feels as dangerous as it is magnetic.
Theo tells himself he can hold his ground. That his sharp words and stubborn defiance will keep Nicholas at arm’s length. Yet the more they clash, the clearer it becomes: Nicholas doesn’t want obedience. He wants him. Every part of him.
Yet Alphas are never interested in Betas, right? It’s always the Omegas. But it seems that Nicholas never got that particular memo. And the most dangerous part?
Theo isn’t sure how much longer he wants to fight.

Summary
“The alpha set the mug down in front of Max, and took his own bowl when Isaac offered it. Max stared at the steaming mug a moment too long—it was blue with white speckles, a chip in the handle—before he forced his eyes back down to his folded hands. As tests went, this one was obvious.“
A continuation of “Seeking Shelter” by sphagnum, opening from Max’s first morning with the pack, because be the sequel you want to see in the world.

Summary
“I wrote Q a letter, then me and Alice dropped it down a well at the top of the Mountain of Ghosts, yada yada yada,” Eliot says. “But I didn’t think it would *actually* reach him.”
Julia’s eyes go wide. “What did it say?”
He opens his mouth to tell her, but Quentin beats him to the punch.
“To Quentin Coldwater, before he went to the Seam: Come back, asshole.”
“Um. Yeah. That.”
—————————
In which Quentin returns to the land of the living for the very simple reason that Eliot asked him to.

Summary
A (sort-of) ex's revenge plot against Eliot has far-reaching unintended consequences.
Or: I wanted to write a one-shot PWP where Quentin and Eliot hook up at a party at the Cottage, but instead I ended up plotting out a full-on season 1 reboot where Quentin doesn't act like a bitter incel, and Julia finds a much less horrifying solution for defeating the Beast.
