FOUR WEEKS LATER

“Is that the last of the boxes?” 

Armand watches Daniel heft a box labeled ‘KITCHEN’ onto the counter. It’s probably a waste. Having seen Daniel’s cheap kitchenware—blender aside—Armand will likely just end up throwing it all out. He must admit that Daniel looks good with sweat dripping down his temples from the effort of carrying it up so many flights of stairs in the summer heat, though.

“Yeah, that’s everything,” he says. He pulls the edge of his shirt up to wipe the sweat from his face and gives Armand an eyeful as he walks back over to the kitchen table where he’s left a box labeled ‘JOURNALISM SHIT.’

Armand comes up behind him as he opens the box and reveals a series of cameras and audio recording devices, which Daniel keeps in his arsenal as he pursues a story. He wraps his arms around Daniel’s middle and pulls him back to lean against his chest.

“Where do you think I should put all this?” Daniel asks him, taking out an odd-looking device Armand has never seen before and turning it over in his hands.

“This is your home, Daniel,” Armand tells him, nuzzling into the side of his neck where he can feel his pulse beating against the surface of his skin. He can taste salt as he presses an open-mouthed kiss there and revels in how flushed and warm he feels against his lips. “Put it wherever you like.”

Read the rest on AO3!

Art heists! Handcuffs! Bank robberies! Sexy grifting! It must be The Take by distractionpie

I'll be honest, it took me a hot sec to get going on this, and this read was actually my second try. The reason for this (that Liebgott is an unreliable narrator) ended up being my very favorite thing about the fic.

When I say unreliable narrator, I don't mean shocktwist nothing happened the way he said it did. I mean he says (and believes he means) one thing, but really he's full of shit. Lieb is just not the most self-aware person in the world, and he lies to himself constantly - and the author does an excellent job of letting the reader in on how he actually feels. So when Lieb irritatedly decides that he absolutely has to do this one con and the only way it can possibly work is if he calls ugh the last person he wants to call, fucking Webster, Jesus Christ - we get to cackle because Sure, Jan.

The cons are clever but not overly complicated - the fic remains believable, like okay, distracting that one guard and doing bleeepity blooop technical talk to the security system, aaaaaaand painting liberated! It works. And there are delightful turns of phrase, including x villainous character "toting Webster around every party, subjecting him to self-congratulatory speeches like Webster was a flesh light for his ego."

Joe slept late the next morning, late enough that as soon as he glanced at the alarm clock he decided to just wait to go out for lunch instead of worrying about breakfast, but first he turned the TV on, flipping through the channels. Whoever had been watching it last had been watching the weather, but like he gave a shit; next were some Spanish soap-opera reruns, but romance languages had never been his strength; the news, usually depressing, but- wait! He turned the volume up just in time to hear the newscaster announce: "Just days after the Los Angeles SeaWorld center won the court case against animal rights campaigners allowing them to continue keeping great white sharks in captivity, their complete collection of sharks, comprising of over a dozen specimens of five different subspecies, has vanished overnight. The criminals have also caused thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to the aquarium premises and now empty tanks-" For a split second, Joe thought, surely not? But then he remembered just who he was dealing with and pulled out his phone. Did I just help you with a SHARK heist????

Damn, what if I reworked Starbreaker to be exclusively in Anarac's pov instead of trying to balance 5 new povs in one book?

Thoughts?
