    Summary

    The world is full of big, bad things. Andrew knows this. He knows this better than most people, probably. He’s heard the whispered folk wisdom from the inhabitants of the latest village he’s ended up in.

    Don’t go past the tree line, if you can help it. Definitely don’t go at night.

    Leave an offering at your doorstep on the new moon.

    Keep bay laurel for protection, rosemary for warding, always in your garden.

    Andrew is smart. Smart enough not to brush off the ancient superstitions that villages like these cling to tooth and nail. It’s about control, and he understands needing to be in control of situations that are much larger than his hands could grasp. He also knows that magic is real.

    Or

    Andrew is a witch and Neil is a fae and the two of them are maybe cosmically connected

    Summary

    Andrew Minyard has drawn his lot in life. Working a boring job as a gas station attendant by day and earning some extra cash fixing up whatever cyborgs and androids pass through the small town of Millport, Arizona was never his dream, but then men like Andrew don't have dreams. The money's good, and that's all that matters because he has a brother racking up student debt in med school. It also means that when a runaway android from the nation's most notorious tech company stumbles into his store, Andrew is forced to help him out to protect the investments he's already made. Or something like that.

    Summary

    When Neil pulls away, there’s a pea-sized pearl in Andrew’s palm.

    “Do you like it?” Neil asks. His eyes are fixed on the sand where he’s drawing little swirls with a finger, a nervous tick Andrew has noticed. “I wrestled it out of a clam.”

    The thought of Neil stubbornly prying a shell open with his nose scrunched in concentration causes Andrew’s mouth to twitch upwards. “I suppose it’s alright,” Andrew says and he receives a dramatic eye roll in return for his blatant lie. “Yes, I like it. Thank you, Neil.”

    *

    Neil keeps gifting Andrew different things he finds in the sea. Surely, it doesn't mean anything special.
