Summary
Two months after the death of his previous liege, Sir Erik was called to Duskhold by the young new earl. Given that his last interaction with the boy's uncle was a screaming match that resulted in him being left behind to guard the baggage train - incidentally saving his life in the very ambush that he'd predicted - Erik did not have high hopes for how things would go. Those expectations didn't get any better after finding that Earl Malcolm appeared to be exactly the sort of weedy academic that rumor made him out to be. To his surprise, though, Malcolm was well aware of his reputation and his shaky hold on his throne. He'd called Erik to assist with a simple plan: descend into the Duskwater Deep as a two-man party, sneak to one of the chambers deep within, and earn untold fame (and hopefully untold wealth) by opening up a sealed mystical orb that no one had cracked in two hundred years of trying.
It was plainly ridiculous, but Erik's father hadn't raised him to shirk his duty or say no to a challenge. He'd get the man down and back even if he had to carry him.

Summary
James hardly knows Steve, but the man he used to be adored him with single-minded ferocity. Worshiped him with the purity of purpose that zealots reserve for their gods. It isn’t really surprising that devotion like this could persevere, adapting through death and rebirth.
Maybe this is what fools experience when they claim love at first sight. A passion too profound to ignore, despite the fact that it’s groundless. Loyalty, fondness, and intimacy that spring into being without reason. Love built on quicksand.

Summary
Things Steve knows about his boyfriend Bucky: How he looks with his face relaxed in sleep. That he can perfectly flip pancakes. The way he’s open about things Steve is still adapting to, like therapy and depression and sex toys and being a millennial. The way he laughs with his mouth wide open and his eyes squinted, and the cheerful way he cheats at cards and loses at laser tag.
The way he seduces Steve with a knowing glint in his eye. The way Steve responds to it, stronger each time, taken by his beauty and competence and snark and compassion (or the compassionate way he boots Steve in the ass when he needs a push).
Things Steve doesn’t know about his boyfriend Bucky: That he’s an undercover operative gathering intel on Hydra, SHIELD, and which Steve is affiliated with.
Otherwise known as The Honey Pot AU
