    Summary

    He holds up a pair of fancy looking handcuffs, broken in half with the wires inside ripped apart and still firing off sparks. He dangles them in front of him like a small kid, looking guilty of all things.

    “I kind of broke this on accident. Well, it was on purpose, actually. But it also looks kind of expensive, so I’m real sorry about that…” He pauses, blinking. “Uh, what’s going on in here?”

    “I’m getting sucked dry,” John deadpans.

    In a lifetime of unsubtleties, the affair with Crozier is James’s worst. Crozier’s hand resting on James’s lower back, there for all to see. Crozier’s fingers nudging gently at James’s shirtcuffs when they stood around at receptions; Crozier’s pale eyes going soft and foolish when James entered the room. Sometimes simply Crozier’s nod, sharp and proprietary, as though to say get upstairs, get in my office, close the door—as if the rest of them were not right there.

    Or, the one where James and Dundy are bright young things (baby post-docs) in English literature, and there’s a cranky new professor in town ...

    Summary

    Since Dan had quit being such a – well, such an unremitting bastard – every waking minute of the day, it'd been getting harder for Harry to keep himself from wondering what it might be like to do more than look.
