    Summary

    Andrew rolls his eyes, giving nothing away, “Yes, Junkie. You can scent me.”

    Neil is on him in the next second. He doesn’t push him into the wall, too aware of Andrew’s boundaries even on the edge of his sanity, but his hands are frantic as he paws at the neck of Andrew’s hoodie. Neil’s sigh of relief as he strokes Andrew’s scent gland gently with his ruined fingers is torturous. Neil is quick to replace his hand with his face, humming softly as he breathes in Andrew’s own woodsy amber scent. He shivers as Neil’s nose traces the veins of his neck, his lips parted but not quite touching where Andrew really wants them.

    At some point Andrew can’t take it anymore. His voice is gravelly when he finally speaks, “Yes or No.”

    Neil’s pupils are so blown when he pulls back that the blue of his eyes is nearly eclipsed. He nearly can’t get the words out fast enough, “Yes Andrew, of course ye-”

    He cuts him off, nearly as frantic even without heat in his veins, “Waist and up,” and then Andrew kisses him.

    Summary

    “I do,” Laurent said, the words clipped. He swallowed, then added, “Damen, I want to. I just—sometimes I forget.” His cheeks flushed at that, not a prince or a king, but a boy again, a virgin. “I forget how to start.”

    Damen breathed through the old pain swelling in his ribcage.

    “Then let me show you,” he said softly.

    ___

    After four months apart, separated by the demands of diplomacy, Damen and Laurent reunite in the quiet, snowbound halls of a distant castle. This is a post-canon exploration of love, vulnerability, and the intimacy of finding each other again—born, perhaps, from the author’s own yearning for a snowy winter that never quite came. Bon Appétit!

    Summary

    During the first 6 months of knowing Neil Josten, he’d refused all conversation surrounding shift forms. It was the Foxes’ largest and most anticipated betting pool yet, and one of many more to come surrounding the newest Fox.

    It’s not uncommon for people to be private about their shift form, Andrew himself rarely showed it outside of fights. There were also others like Matt or Aaron who preferred it when possible. Neil had taken his privacy to the next level. He was obsessive in his refusal to share even the smallest amount of information with the foxes about his shift-form.

    Andrew knew Nicky had bet that it was something really embarrassing, while Renee thought his reluctance to share could’ve been evidence for an inconvenient form, like a dolphin.

    He knew it was something else, not embarrassing or aquatic, but that Neil’s form was real. Real where Neil Josten wasn’t more than a broken person’s dream. Andrew hadn’t bothered to bet, had never even asked despite their game.

    It had taken Andrew being broken apart and hastily shoved back together, and a palm dragged over hidden scars for him to broach the topic.
