    Summary

    Now her black moire slippers toed the same abyss as his austerity brogues, sidled up close so the heat of her skin bled across layers of cloth and night between them.

    Summary

    There are rules to their flirtation: what kind of contact is safe, what is too much. Never be too sentimental, but always let him know; couch it in insults and admonitions, soften it with a touch. It’s not that she likes the rules, or sticks to them out of some moral fortitude—it’s that she already has too many voices knocking round her head, too much guilt, and she’s sure as pig shit not going to add to it. Especially not him. She’s had that nightmare before. Being too close. She won’t—
    The point is, there are rules. Good rules. Solid, keep everyone safe rules.

     

    She can't touch him. Not the way they both want. And oh does she want. Doesn't mean there isn't a bit of ill-advised wiggle room.

    Alternatively: Five times they most definitely don't have sex and one time they do (but it's actually six times they have sex)

    Summary

    Realizing he’s been staring, Gambit removes the cigarette from his mouth where it’s been dangling dangerously with his open-mouthed gaping and clears his throat. “Chѐre… for me?” he says, laying on the charm, hoping it’ll cover up how much just the sight of her has affected him.

    “You wish,” Rogue scoffs before stepping down and approaching him. “A lady has to look her best when she goes out on the town, Remy.” She’s close enough he can see her earrings now, too, a gold hoop in each ear, glinting gently. “After all, there might be some real gentlemen at that restaurant,” she teases.

     

    Rogue and Gambit finally get that date.
    (inspired by X-Men, Vol. 2 #4)

    Summary

    It was not, Phryne thought as she steered Josephine through the French countryside, that you could precisely call her job boring. There was a war on, and she was much nearer the front than she told her parents in her infrequent letters home. She was driving an ambulance between the French triage unit and the hospital, avoiding potholes as best she could. The men in the back of her bus moaned or swore at each one she hit. It was important work, one part in the chain that saved as many men as possible from the jaws of death. It was good work, and more meaningful than she'd thought it would be when she'd signed up for the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, desperate for anything that would get her out of London.

    It was only that she'd driven this route so often she could do it in her sleep. The only change was the appearance of more potholes and ruts.

    Phryne's ambulance breaks down just outside the village where Peter Wimsey is stationed.

    Summary

    Death wears Remy’s face and learns a new kind of mercy. In the wreck of a battle he takes Rogue out of the fight, not from it, holding her on the lip of ending and calling it love. “Death take you,” he says. He means both.

    Companion fic to if she wants death can have me this time by Base_and_Co. A mirrored scene from Death’s side. Can be read on its own.
