I received two lovely Imperial Radch fics for the
trickortreatex exchange. One is spooky and one is sweet, and both are by the same author! I have just gotten around to reading Ancillary Mercy, so the timing was perfect. Definitely check them out if you enjoy the books.

I dropped out of the Fandom Growth Exchange, but somehow still managed to get a fabulous treat as a gift. Killjoys is a total happy place to for me, and this fic has the characters and their feelings for each other down perfectly. Plus action and h/c!

Peter has always had a soft spot for dogs.
This was my assignment, and I was more or less happy with the way it turned out. I wish that I had managed to get it done with enough time to revise more and to have it beta'd, though. The pacing of it still bugs me, and I think with more time I could have worked some suspense or slightly scary bits into a basically sweet fic. Also of note: this is the third story focusing on animals and the second dog/wolf story I have written this year. Hmmm.

Summary:
“Sometimes,” said Alvey, “I want to give you my own tattoo, right here.” He drew the tip of his knife down Ryan’s sternum, hard enough to matter, but not hard enough to draw blood.
And this one, well, sometimes it's good to write something fast! I can't let myself think too much about knife play and how much I enjoy writing it...
