Summary
John can't be certain if the skin here is really that much softer than the rest of him, or if it just seems that way because it's hidden, secret, private. He waits for Arthur to stop him.
Instead, Arthur swallows a noise and spreads his legs farther apart.
*
(In which Arthur is feeling run-down and John gives him a massage to help him feel better.)

Summary
Arthur's been through a lot, okay? He deserves to live his slutty, slutty life in peace. (AU in which everything is the same, except Arthur hooks up with a bunch of side characters along the way.)

Summary
Arthur has never been able to do this quietly.
Holding his breath—chasing the barest hint of friction while he struggles not to alert the fucking voice in his fucking head—it’s a new agony, and one seemingly without end.
(In which John has, accidentally or on purpose, been edging Arthur all night.)

Summary
Satine glances at Christian’s hand, and he realizes that he’s still stroking a lock of the Duke’s hair between his fingers. He tucks it gently behind the Duke’s ear and then takes a casual sip of wine, as if complimenting and caressing his lover’s fiancé is something he does all the time and that it doesn’t make him tremble inside, not even a little bit.
(In which Christian, while third-wheeling Satine and her patron, accidentally looks too closely at the Duke and changes everything.)

Summary
Arthur should invite him in, but all he can do is look at him. It shouldn’t feel like gazing into a mirror—they look nothing alike—but even now, the bounds of where he ends and John begins feel ill-defined. Arthur half-expects to see his own face reflected back at him, but John—John is—(beautiful).

Summary
Nearly every night, Arthur finds himself in Jack's bar. He drinks until the world starts to spin, upon which Arthur stumbles home and starts the day anew. One night, however, an unusual man perches himself on the adjacent stool and buys Arthur a drink. Suspicious and distrustful of the man's intentions, Arthur brushes him off... only for the nosey parker to come back a second time.

Summary
“I can’t send this to the publisher,” his agent announces, before Trent can even say hello. “Are you serious, Trent? If this is some sort of joke, I don’t get it—”
“It’s not a joke,” he says levelly, pouring himself a second scotch. “I’m being professional, that’s all. If I wrote a book about my mother I’d have to disclose she was my mother.”
“Interestingly, the identity of your mother would not fetch quite so many headlines as you being in hopeless gay love with a Premier League manager—”
“No need for the ‘gay’ part,” Trent tells her. “Just ‘hopeless love’ will do, thanks.”

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.
