Excerpt from A Working Relationship
"I just want you," I said, my lips grazing his as they formed the words.
His amused huff warmed my lips, tickled against the fine hairs on my face. I waited, trembling against him as he searched for what he needed to say. "Who is it that you think I am?" he asked.
"Another fool who likes to defy the odds," I whispered, wetting my lips, thinking I might devour him if I wasn't careful, "and you have a heart that's hungry and dark and full of a precious desire for softness."

Chapter 1 — Antiva
"You are being ridiculous."
"I am being careful, Teia," Lucanis said, frowning down at the list in his hand. Behind him the Diamond buzzed with its usual activity, the murmur of conversation and the clink of coin from the public level blending with the more deliberate sounds of Crows going about their business in the Sanctum. "You have all the notes on the fledgling training?"
He looked up in time to see her roll her eyes. "Yes. I told you, yes."
"It's important, Teia. It can't wait until I'm back." He felt the low-level apprehension he'd been battling for the past week take another lurch upward. "Maybe I should—"
"If you say 'maybe I should postpone my trip' I am going to have Viago drug you and the two of us will throw you in the back of a carriage."
"Teia."
"I mean it, Lucanis. You're going. We've talked over all of this a hundred times already. We have it covered."
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I wasn't going to suggest postponing. I just want to be certain that—"
"Stop worrying. It's only a month. What can go wrong in a month?"
The question sent a shudder through him. "A lot."
"We'll take care of it," she said, her tone reassuring even through her exasperation. "Caterina is hardly going to let the House fall. Even Illario has started making himself useful on occasion."
He gave Teia a dark glare, which she ignored. "You deserve this, Lucanis. You and your necromancer friend have been talking about making a tour like this since before the fall of the gods."
"I know." He sighed, looking at his list again. There were still several items they hadn't talked about, and his mind insisted on adding more.
Always. More.
Lucanis shushed Spite's grumbling and tucked the list into his breast pocket. "I appreciate the help, Teia. You know I will return the favor if you and Viago ever want to get away."
"You're a dear," she said. "Just be sure to bring us back some of the wine you sample."
He started to reply then saw her gaze shift to focus on something behind him. "What is it?" he asked, his shoulders tensing.
"You are about to be ambushed," she murmured, the hint of a smile playing over her lips.
In a flurry of footsteps, a familiar redhead hurried up and threw her arms around him. "Lucanis!"
"Harding?" He returned the hug, blinking in surprise. "What are you doing here at the Diamond?"
"We just happened to be at the Lighthouse, and then—"
"Where are we taking this?" Taash came around the corner, holding one end of a large trunk.
"Just here is fine for the moment." Emmrich appeared behind Taash, his face pink with exertion. He set down the other end of the trunk and smiled at them. "Lucanis! I'm a trifle early, but I didn't want to be the cause of any delay."
"Welcome to the Diamond, Professor Volkarin," Teia said with a warm smile. "We are so glad you are here to take Lucanis off our hands."
Lucanis shot her a look and then moved over to greet his old friend. "I am glad you made it. Though I did not expect you to bring these two along," he said, nodding at Taash and Harding.
"Like I said, we were at the Lighthouse, and then Emmrich stopped in to pick up some stuff from his old room, and one thing led to another." Harding blew a stray hair out of her face and gave Lucanis a grin. "Ready for your big vacation?"
"I will be," Lucanis said, eyeing Emmrich's luggage. "That is a very large trunk for a four week trip."
Damn, I just saw a drawing of Lucanis on the floor at knifepoint and looking like he was very much enjoying the experience, and then the page reloaded. Wish me luck in finding it again...

Another thing fandom needs to start doing more of is projecting on tops.
There are delicious amounts of psychological distress you can inflict on that guy once you get into his head. The brainworms of forcing agency and initiative on someone who genuinely is Not Fucking Ready For It are exquisite.
To quote myself: Domtops in fics are always written to have such uncomplicated and healthy relationships to their sexualities and for my mental health I need us to collectively start giving them complexes about being some kind of monstrous predatory freak of nature instead.
Make that guy have a panic attack b/c someone in his daydream told him to stop and he kept going anyway.
New and improved! Sad Wet Dog of a top is thinking about how he wants to hurt you but doesn't want to hurt you and the contradiction is slowly and steadily making him Lose His Whole Fucking Mind.
I only barely go here, but every time I see discourse around Thjazi being a terrible person (sometimes involving what is probably one hell of a reach), it just makes me absolutely love the character.
everyone needs to get weirder, yes, but also get kinder. get more supportive. get more loving. be good to your fellow fans, especially the creatives who give you art and gifs and fics and fancams and and and. treat each other well because on tunglr dot hell, we are all neighbors. and neighbors look out for each other

UPD: Only dialogues related to completing "A Time to Kill" quest are available in the game.
Originally, at the market, you could hear not only banter between Noa and Ivenci, but also between Neri and Noa. They were also supposed to stand next to each other, much like Teia and Viago.
I didn't record a video because their dialogue doesn't always trigger correctly and conflicts with Ivenci conversations. That's probably why they're disabled in the game. So I only extracted the audio.
Noa de Acutis: Must you be so flashy?
Neri de Acutis: Must you ask questions you already know the answer to?
Neri de Acutis: The market is calm today.
Noa de Acutis: Calm isn't enough.
Noa de Acutis: Are the Antaam numbers any lower?
Neri de Acutis: They replace them as fast as you kill them.
Noa de Acutis: Challenge accepted.
Neri de Acutis: The fledglings need guidance.
Noa de Acutis: Hard to run training exercises in an occupied city.
Noa de Acutis: Are you and Viago getting along?
Neri de Acutis: Now is not the time for rivalries.
----------
After the dragon attack
If the player saved Minrathous:
Noa de Acutis: Have we numbers? On people lost?
Neri de Acutis: Surprisingly few. Many injuries, though. She had that hateful, icy cold.
Noa de Acutis: We were lucky to drive it off. I hate needing luck.
Noa de Acutis: There was a similar creature in Minrathous. Blighted, but spewing fire.
Neri de Acutis: And how did they fare?
Noa de Acutis: Better than we did.
Neri de Acutis: Antaam, dragons, maybe-gods… What I wouldn't give for a simple contract.
Noa de Acutis: Since when are any of your contracts simple?
Neri de Acutis: Since before occupations. When wars were civil and stopped with a single kill.
If the player saved Treviso:
Neri de Acutis: Fighting the dragon was amazing, wasn't it?
Noa de Acutis: It got away.
Neri de Acutis: Yes, but before that.
Noa de Acutis: Sure. Fine. Amazing.
Noa de Acutis: I hear Minrathous got hit pretty hard.
Neri de Acutis: They faced a blighted dragon, too. The Shadow Dragons managed to drive it off.
Noa de Acutis: I was concerned that… there were losses.
Neri de Acutis: She is safe. I made sure.
Most likely, it's about their niece Marisa.
Noa de Acutis: You should have let me kill them.
Neri de Acutis: We had to keep them away from the garrison to let Rook work. There will be another chance.
Noa de Acutis: Seems like there's always more Antaam.
----------
If For the Love of Treviso quest is completed
Noa de Acutis: How long have we called it "the garrison"?
Neri de Acutis: Too long. House Beltrami fell to the occupation quickly.
Noa de Acutis: Someone let the Antaam breach their docks.
Noa de Acutis: I'd rather see the estate burn than be in Antaam hands.
Neri de Acutis: That would serve no one.
----------
If A Time to Kill quest is completed
If the player saved Minrathous:
Neri de Acutis: I don't think you were wrong to be cautious about Jacobus.
Noa de Acutis: I should have listened to him.
Neri de Acutis: I remember a youth that talked you into many foolish endeavors.
Noa de Acutis: Perhaps I learned too well.
If the player saved Treviso:
Neri de Acutis: You really approved people moving to the new house?
Noa de Acutis: Jacobus needs a good start. And extended family is always a good investment.
Neri de Acutis: Ah, there's the Noa I know.
Noa de Acutis: Feels like sunny days ahead.
Neri de Acutis: I could get used to good news.
Noa de Acutis: The Diamond is getting busier.
Neri de Acutis: Teia will be thrilled and annoyed.
Other post-A-Time-to-Kill banter:
Neri de Acutis: It's a brave new future for Treviso.
Noa de Acutis: There's still Antaam out there.
Neri de Acutis: Certainly. But they won't be as quick to replace them.
Noa de Acutis: I'll be testing that idea.
Neri de Acutis: Do you believe in all this "elven gods" business?
Noa de Acutis: People who think they're important call themselves all sorts of things.
Neri de Acutis: You know what I mean.
Noa de Acutis: I know they claim to be immortal. Seems like an easy claim to test.
Neri de Acutis: What's next for Rook?
Noa de Acutis: I couldn't begin to guess.
Neri de Acutis: Seems like the sort of question a lot of people are asking.
Noa de Acutis: A lot of people should mind their business.
Noa de Acutis: Teia and Viago are on again.
Neri de Acutis: Surprising no one anywhere. But they're the age for it.
Noa de Acutis: You went courting in Rivain last week!
Neri de Acutis: And how do you know? Saw me there, did you?
Noa de Acutis: Never you mind.
Noa de Acutis: I think we should try to recruit in the market.
Neri de Acutis: Lots of interest, thanks to Rook.
Neri de Acutis: Who should be the new governor?
Noa de Acutis: Who would dare?
Neri de Acutis: What are you scowling at?
Noa de Acutis: Just keeping up the practise.
Neri de Acutis: Off to kill Antaam tonight?
Noa de Acutis: For a start.
