Summary
Brienne is still convinced that the entire affair is a joke on her. Surely there is a real bride somewhere in the castle, who will be brought out once the crowd has had a good laugh at the cow in a satin gown. When she said as much to her intended, he said it was surely a joke on them both. Let them laugh, he said. What’s funnier is that Queen Daenerys made the match in the first place – she must have thought them intolerable to one another. The Beauty and the Kingslayer. Surely Brienne could see the humor in it?

Summary
Abby knows she’s not finding love on Love Island. It’s six weeks. She’s here to find a career: the seed money to start her own PR firm and the (hopefully) massive following that’ll have future clients salivating to have. And, of course, have a little fun while she does it.
She will not get stuck in her first couple, but America will know her as discerningly loyal. The key, she figured, was going to be finding someone smart enough (or dopey enough, she supposed) to do this with her. He’ll need to be devastating and charming, without being swarmy. He’ll need to -
Someone taps on the tinted window. It’s show time.
---------
Where Mel's entrance into Casa Amor throws a wrench into Abby's (almost) flawless plan to win Love Island.

Summary
“Because everything is better in Pittsburgh.”
These days, people described her as a "chill girl." A girl who didn’t cause trouble. The girl-next-door prototype. The kind who wears her heart on her sleeve.
Honestly, she didn’t see herself as a chill girl. She was anything but that. People only thought that because they didn’t see Mel swallowing her emotions and letting them build up inside until her guts started to ache.
It was her guts that led her to that bar after a hellish, chaotic shift. Her stomach churned as she knocked back a shot of tequila and watched Samira Mohan—her best friend—leave the party with Frank Langdon, who, very likely, was the love of Mel’s life.

Summary
Trinity tilted her head to the side with a curious look at Mel. She did this sometimes when she realized there was some fundamental knowledge about social rules that Mel didn’t have. It happened more often than Mel would’ve liked. “That’s kind of why people flirt, Mel. To figure out if someone likes you back without having to say it outright.”
“Oh.”
Trinity leaned closer to Mel with a mischievous grin. “Is there someone you’d like to test the waters with?”

OR: Mel decides to try flirting with Frank.

He lit a cigarette while leaning up against the wall, Mel falling into a seated position next to him. “Right, I’m sure that it’s frustrating to see autistic patients suffer, what with-”
“Becca, yeah,” Mel nodded. “You were great with her.”
Langdon made a bit of a strange expression. “Sure, with Becca. But also with you.”
“Me?” Mel said quizzically. “I’m not autistic.”
Langdon nodded, a second late. “Right, yeah. Yes.”
Mel doesn't believe she's autistic. So why does Langdon keep treating her like she is?

Summary
"But I don't want this to end, Mel," Frank admitted softly.
Mel's words faded as she stared at him, at the warmth and tenderness in his eyes as he shifted closer to her. "Like… you don't want the wedding to end?" she asked as he drew near. He shook his head slowly.
"No, Mel. This. Us. I want… us to continue. Exactly as we are now."
In which Abby is remarrying a mere year after the Langdons divorce. Mel convinces Frank that they should attend the wedding as a fake couple, so as to show his ex-wife that he has fully moved on, but she does not anticipate the turn their evening takes when the two friends follow their roles a little easier than expected...

“Pineapple on pizza,” he leans on the wall, crossing his arms on his chest as he looks down at her. “Yes or no?”
“No,” she says immediately, wrinkling her nose.

Summary
“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.

Summary
It wasn’t a word that Mel would personally have come up with, but Trinity had a name for what Langdon had turned into after his divorce.
Fuckboy.
As Mel sat across from Frank at a dim sum and noodle restaurant down the street from the hospital, a place that at some point had become their restaurant, listening to Frank recount the details of his latest hook-up, Mel couldn’t help but turn the word over in her mind.
“She gave surprisingly good head,” Frank said, between bites of a dumpling. “Oral wasn’t really something Abby and I had done in years. If we had sex at all it was sort of perfunctory missionary to reset the clock. God. I missed blow-jobs.”
“Well. I’m glad it went well. Getting your needs met is important,” was all Mel could manage. Truthfully, hearing the details of Frank’s escapades generally turned her stomach, but there was so much more to their friendship she loved that made swallowing this particular notch in her throat worth it.

Summary
“I don’t know.” Mel frowned. “Sometimes it feels like there’s a Frank and there’s a Langdon and they are somehow two different people. I know it doesn’t make much sense.” She sighed.
“Just talk to him. I'm sure he'll enjoy being a bit more…smug…if you ask him to.” Samira said, sincerely.
“She's right.” Trinity shrugged. “You're basically Willy Wonka giving him the golden ticket.” She added.
(Or, Mel King wants her boyfriend to be a little less Frank and a bit more Langdon in bed)

Summary
"I have had a very bad day," Mel began steadily. Frank nodded slowly, his eyebrows lowering even more at the intensity in her gaze. "My head hurts. God, my whole body hurts. I need… I need a distraction right now. Something to turn my brain off for a little while."
"O-okay? Like… what?" She almost turned to look away, but Frank lowered his head to keep her eyes trained on him. "Do you wanna watch a movie or something?"
Mel almost laughed. He was so sweet. So unassuming of her.
"Frank, I need to get fucked."
A few weeks after an innocent evening turned intimate, Mel has kept Frank at arms length. Her fears of ruining their friendship, of making work awkward and struggling to find time to date, has made her wary of moving forward with him romantically. But after a disastrous shift at work, Mel needs help clearing her mind… even if it might continue to complicate their already strained relationship.

Summary
They’re an unlikely pair: a lone wolf who never belonged anywhere and a vampire too powerful to fit into his own world. Yet together, they work — effortless, steady, always ready to pull each other back from the edge.
So when Percy begins to fail at feeding properly, Annabeth does the unthinkable: she offers him her blood.
It’s forbidden. Addictive for him, dangerously sensual for her — a violation of every law between their species. But Annabeth has never been a typical wolf, and Percy has never been immune to her.
Now, as the tension between them sharpens into something neither can ignore, the question becomes: how long can they keep this up before one of them breaks?

Summary
He told her once that she was the only editor who didn’t try to wring the wild out of him. She liked that. She would have told him to reuse the phrase in a column if she wasn’t selfish enough to keep it for herself.
Langdon is the star columnist of popular wilderness adventure magazine The Backpacker. Mel is the editor who helps him stay that way.
When Langdon starts blowing through deadlines and stops answering calls, Mel decides the best course of action is to meet him where he's at.
