  2. Summary

    After decades in the military, Simon and John retire to a quiet village just outside Glasgow. They read, pick up hobbies, and live the quiet life. It's nice.

    It's also boring as fuck.

    When one of their neighbors ends up needing help, though, the thrill of being needed—being useful—starts them down a path they never expected as the quiet protectors of their town... whatever it takes.

    Summary

    Simon Riley fought his way from a grave in the ground to being the best soldier the worlds has seen. Life has taught him to keep everyone at arms length, but he never anticipated meeting someone as stubborn as John MacTavish.
    John MacTavish is the SAS' new protege. He's spent years hearing stories about The Ghost of the 141, and he's earned the stamp of approval from the most feared man on earth. John's never seen a challenge he can't dismantle, and earning the lieutenant's friendship is no small feat.
    But what happens when an unlikely friendship between a commanding officer and his subordinate sharpens into something neither can ignore.

    Summary

    sacrifice fly (noun, baseball): a strategic play in which batter hits a fly ball to the outfield that, if caught by a fielder, allows a teammate to score, but the batter is out.

    When Soap joins the San Francisco Seals, he’s determined to be the best catcher that Major League Baseball has ever seen. Maybe he’ll even get a chance to play with The Ghost, a pitcher as famous for his deadly accuracy as he is for his mysterious reputation.

    Ghost is methodically devoted to baseball, the only thing that’s kept him afloat for as long as he can remember. He never expected the new guy’s sharp eyes to extend off of the field and into his life, or for someone so annoying to be so damn good.

    Summary

    Finn
    Being a mage is not all that, especially since magic was reduced to a side note and an obscure hobby of a select few. The only problem? My powers continue to grow while killing me slowly despite leaving the magical world behind. Talk about bummer, right? But not as big a bummer as Sebastian Sokol, my former classmate, a stick-in-the-mud nerd obsessed with magic, and my only hope at discovering what the hell is wrong with me. Doesn't hurt that he's a lot cuter than I remember. And funnier. And... fuck, am I falling in love with him?

    Seb
    I devoted my entire life to studying magic and don’t appreciate it when people treat the subject as a joke. Which is why the first word out of my mouth when Finn Morgan, my nemesis-slash-crush, strolls into my story asking for help is no. But only until I realize his strange health issues could help me solve the mystery of why magic is fading from our world. And if I have to endure Finn’s company and his lack of sense of humor, it’s a small price to pay. After all, I am an adult, and my crush on the wisecracking idiot is ancient history. I can control myself. No matter how hot he is. And kind. And impossible to resist.

    The Price of Magic

    Summary

    He takes the stem from John’s fingers, unable to hide that upturn of his lips as he dips his head in a small nod. And John beams at him, elated and bright now that rejection doesn’t seem so plausible. 

    John throws his cap on, adjusting it carefully as he stands taller than he did only moments ago. “Goodnight, Mr. Riley”

    Simon feels himself stand a little taller too. “Goodnight, MacTavish.”

    ...

    After the Great War Simon expected to leave human pleasures in the trenches with the men of his past but at a party, mind settled with high end alcohol, vibrant blue eyes framed upon freckled cheeks and delicate lavender petals leave him breathless with want.

    John was a simple man with simple dreams, fated with risky flings he wonders if maybe he’s truly destined to a life of solitude. Yet the lingering stare of warm brown eyes has his heart racing and his mind making foolish decisions.

    Parting ways that night with the sad reality they likely may never meet again life continues as it always does, but the gentle ring of the bell above the tailors doorway signals a true change - one steeped in lavender hues.
