Summary
“Okay, I’m going to need your contact information and I’ll have to ask a few questions about what it is you’ll be needing during your rut. Is that alright?”
“Yes, yes, of course,” Nicky says, aware that he’s panicking and it reads in his tone. “Before you accept my booking, you need to—“
“It will be just fine,” Joe says, smooth and professional. “Why don’t we start with your name?”
“That’s just it,” Nicky says miserably. “It’s Nicolò di Genova.”
There’s a long pause. “Oh,” Joe says.
He hasn’t hung up, which is what Nicky was expecting, so he uses the silence to start apologizing.
In which both Joe and Nicky struggle to fit into a world where your cycle determines so much about your romantic prospects when neither of them have typical cycles or even know if they want that kind of romantic relationship. In which Joe co-runs a center where people with atypical heat and rut cycles can come and receive the help they need. In which Nicky really wishes he hadn't written a series of very stupid letters to the editor of the local paper back when he was pretending he didn't need the kind of help Joe was offering.

Summary
“I realize that was a stupid question,” Nicky says, with just enough grace that Joe forgives him. “I just don’t want you to be disappointed.”
“That’s up to you,” Joe says. “I know what I want.”
“Oh?” Nicky asks.
“I want to present for—someone,” Joe says bluntly, nearly saying you instead when he catches another whiff of Nicky’s scent. “I want to be held down, and taken, and I want someone to do it who isn’t going to take it as a blanket statement about my politics.”

Summary
It’s been half a year now since his marriage to Mel fell apart and Jayce became a stay-at-home dad. A little less than that, since he offered Viktor the empty guest room, just to make juggling work and child-rearing overall easier.
It’s a question of convenience, really. Jayce gets to take care of his daughter, but he also has someone to watch her when he needs to run errands, to play with her next door while Jayce is in a conference call with their sponsors.
And if Mae gets a little confused about how many daddies she has… or if Jayce is in denial about what kind of partner he wants Viktor to be… Well. They’re going to figure it out eventually.
