Summary
To a hungry vampire, blood might serve as a siren's call. Antoine de Sade was well aware of the fact when he forced the forgotten Oriflamme to starve so that a deal between the two of them might be struck without much struggle. The deal had been a simple one: drink only from him, and Loki would be free of the greenhouse that would be considered a prison.
What Antoine hadn't considered, however, was what might happen when two scheming vampires with blood compatibility are within a house that that only offers close encounters.

Summary
As a murderbot I'm used to dealing with problems that can be solved by hacking or fighting. Other problems, I'm not so good with. So when PSUMNT decided not to renew my employment contract, that was— I didn't want to think about it. I just didn't want to leave. So when ART first proposed that it just hide me somewhere aboard it, I jumped in without thinking. That might have been a mistake.

His hands reached up to his neck and he felt the cool metal of the collar.
“Live or die. Make your choice.”

Summary
Marshall Robert Singer has one hand resting on his hip, the other gripping the discarded practice pole. Castiel thinks he looks tired. That said, with how the kaiju have been crawling with increasing frequency out of the Breach with every passing week and decimating the cities lining the Pacific, no one can blame the man for that.
Castiel knows there aren't enough Jaegers or Jaeger pilots left to defend the coastline against the monsters—but with his history, he's not getting back into harness. He's never joining his mind with anyone else's. Not again.
“Congratulations. You boys done dancing yet?” Singer demands, thumping the butt of the staff on the ground with blunt, percussive force. “We got work to do.”
“Work?” Castiel asks, frowning.
“Congratulations?” Dean finishes.
“Well, yeah.” The Marshall of North America's last battle-center looks back and forth between them, clearly questioning their intelligence. His lip curls just slightly under his beard—no doubt at their blank expressions. “You’re obviously Drift-compatible, ya idjits.”
“What?”
“What?”

Summary
Yata wasn't sure what he was expecting when he performed a summon on his own in a fit of drunken loneliness. It definitely wasn't some asshole demon with a bad attitude, even if that demon happened to be frustratingly hot. But breaking their contract was going to mean working together, and he wasn't sure how much of that he could take before he snapped... one way or another.
