Summary
“My hair’s not that red,” Wylan scowled, pulling at his hair self-consciously.
“Right and I’m not the most handsome man you’ve ever seen.”
It was a small work of miracle that they were interrupted before Wylan could deem him a response. The operator slammed his meaty hand against the beam the stranger was leaning on, startling them both.
“Fahey,” he growled. Wylan’s foolish, foolish heart skipped a beat. His name was Fahey; it was a Kaelish surname. That explained the grey eyes. “Pay up. Boek ain’t running a charity here. You lose, you fork over the kruge. I ain’t asking you again.”
Fahey’s easy smile didn’t fade as much as it tightened. The twinkle was gone and Fahey seemed more like a caged animal. Wild. Desperate.

in which Wylan, long-time Dreg's explosive's expert is on a job at the Liddies' new club. it was supposed to be an easy job but he never expected to meet Jesper Fahey along the way.

Summary
Turning around, Wylan came nose to nose with a boy. A boy he had decidedly never seen before. Wylan would remember if somebody so pretty haunted these halls. Dark brown and unreasonably tall, the man was dressed in the roughspun of a groundsman. But his grey eyes glinted too much mischief and too little recognition. His lips – Ghezen he had the prettiest lips – were slightly parted at the shock of Wylan’s presence.
They breathed in tandem for a moment or two, like some sort of clockwork creation. Then the boy’s expression melted into a slow, sly grin.
“Funny finding you here."
Or the one where Jesper breaks into the Van Eck mansion and commits mild identity theft.

Summary
Time slowed down as the shrill sound sliced Jesper’s life in two. Like Inej balancing on her highwire, he was caught in the middle of two expanses as gravity threatened to suck him under. On one end, he had Wylan and all his warmth, courage and unshakeable kindness. He had every peaceful morning, where Jesper’s endless barrage of thoughts were cooled by soft fingers and a clever mouth, in more senses than one. But it was gone now. It was gone, because Van Eck had just ordered his son’s murder and the Ferolind was crushed. Wylan. Wylan was gone too.
also known as Jesper Fahey and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day on the Velleguluk BC this scene is heartwrenching

Summary
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Wylan didn’t answer for a beat which was enough time for a nasty voice to slink into his brain. He didn’t trust you, it whispered. Jesper Fahey, good for nothing farm-boy turned Barrel rat. Kept secrets about as well as he kept his money and we all know how that turns out. Jesper swallowed hard as Wylan finally spoke.
“What was there to tell?” he whispered.
.

Summary
The Wheeler’s lakehouse was a two-story wooden building with white siding and blue shutters on each of the little windows. It sat on the edge of a large blue-green lake, a long backyard full of tall tufted grass that ended in a wooden dock extending out over the water. Will had been to the Wheeler’s lakehouse twice as a child, once when he was eight and again when he was sixteen. Now, he was twenty-nine and pulling up to the long driveway of the house in his beaten-up Ford Escort, his stomach in nervous knots that he was trying to calm with a half-full can of ginger ale.
or, four months after one byers/wheeler couple breaks up, another gets married. and, of course, will and mike are both the best men. and, of course, there is a plot to get them back together. nothing goes to plan.

Summary
"So," Will says, swallowing and forcing back the pettiness coating the inside of his throat, "There is a girl, then?"
Mike glances away sheepishly, blushing and raising a hand to rub nervously at the back of his neck. "Um. Not exactly."
Will frowns. What else could it possibly be, he wonders, what with the hickeys and the evasive behavior and the coming home late, all of which Will is totally normal and not annoyed about. Maybe it was - he winces at the thought - a hookup that ended poorly, or a series of unrelated incidents, or-
"What is it, then?" he asks, if only to distract himself from this obviously destructive train of thought, and Mike meets his eyes nervously.
"There's not a girl," Mike repeats, sounding a little pained, "But there is- a boy."
The world stops.
In which Mike has a boyfriend who is not Will, and Will is totally, super, very much okay with this turn of events.

Summary
Dionysus doesn’t mean to end up on Orpheus’s doorstep. He doesn’t mean to end up anywhere at all, actually. He’d just… taken a step, and another, and another, and found himself here. Alone. Dionysus hates being alone.
The house is quiet until it isn’t, until broken glass crunches beneath his feet. It’s been days since Orpheus broke that glass, not weeks, not years. Less than a heartbeat in the lifetime of a god, but. But.
But Dionysus isn’t a god, not entirely. Or—he wasn’t always. He isn’t sure he wants to be, not anymore. He kneels and collects the broken glass. He wonders if the shards will cut him. He wonders if he’ll bleed.
