"Sorry for offending your delicate sensibilities," Shaun said dryly. "I forgot you were a connoisseur."
"Hey, I know plenty of bartenders who drink the cheap shit. Myself included." Desmond gestured with the bottle. "But this is just bad."
Shaun and Desmond share a drink. That drink turns into something more. Contains predictable amounts of banter.

Summary
"Desmond, is this a regular fucking occurrence?" Shaun hissed.
Desmond wrinkled his brow and nose, like the question hurt to think about. "Define regular."
Shaun knew that Desmond was experiencing the bleeding effect. It was inevitable. But he hadn't realized it had gone this far.

Summary
Desmond glanced at the time and did some quick mental math, then swore under his breath when he realized just how late it was for Shaun.
"Shit, baby, I forgot it was the middle of the night for you," he said guiltily. He'd been too preoccupied with his own boredom to remember the number of time zones between them.
"That's alright," Shaun said, even though it definitely wasn't. "I knew you'd figure it out eventually. I was working anyway, and I could use a distraction, frankly."
Desmond smiled, despite everything. God, it felt good to hear Shaun's voice. Anyone's voice, really, but Shaun's especially. "So you're not going to make fun of me for being too self-absorbed to remember how time works?"
"I would, normally, but I haven't seen you for over a week and I'm tired, so you get uncharacteristically-nice-Shaun for now. No promises if you start calling me every day, though."
Desmond gets stranded in a safehouse by a storm and calls Shaun for some company. To the surprise of absolutely no one, they get horny about it.

Summary
"She means a great deal to you." It wasn't a question, nor an accusation. Just an observation. A very, very dangerous one.
More than you'll ever know. Corvo swallowed. "She's been my charge since the day of her birth."
Emily falls asleep on the boat ride back to the Hound Pits after she's rescued from the Golden Cat. Samuel and Corvo talk.

Summary
"It's Shaun. He's still working."
"Shaun?" Desmond frowned. "He told me he was almost done the last time I talked to him, and that was hours ago."
"That's what he told me, too, but I was in there five minutes ago and he was definitely still working. And not in a good mood." Rebecca pulled her left leg up to her chest, socked foot braced against the counter. "I tried to talk him into going to bed and it did not go well."
Desmond put the last dish into the drying rack and turned off the sink. "So you want me to talk to him?"
"Would you?" Rebecca asked, putting on her most imploring look. "He might actually listen to you."Shaun refuses to go to bed. Desmond convinces him, eventually.

With a cup of tea Wreathed in Steam by Flightlesskiwi

Summary
'Shaun is always waiting for the other shoe to drop. He can’t be blamed for it, the biggest discovery of his life ended in a cruel
ultimatum and -in a roundabout manner- the end of the world.
So he’s often defensive and always suspicious but as the guiding compass of his life so far it’s never steered him wrong.That is until there’s a fresh cup of tea nesting at his elbow and he mutters a distracted thank you, only to look up and see Desmond’s shocked face staring down at him and find something soft settling into place behind his rib cage where his heart should be.'
Shaun feels like he’s carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, Desmond does his best to lift that weight.

Summary
“Shaun,” he said again, and felt it come out breathy.
Shaun made a noise that clearly meant No.
Desmond tried again. “Shaun. Are you stimming with my dick right now?”
Shaun’s silence was very loud. The hand stalled, if only shortly, and then continued its rhythm.
“Squishy,” Shaun said, mumbled, into Desmond’s shoulder.Bookmarked by Squigglebug18

Summary
“Ah, yeah, Kate,” he answered absent-mindedly, hands still on the keyboard, eyes moving across the screen, “Katie, Katie, Katie” and he knew he was stalling, knew he was taking entirely too much time to answer a seemingly simple question. He could have just said no. He said instead: “Charmed the pants right off her, I did,” which caused Rebecca to make a sound that immediately told him it had been the entirely wrong thing to say in this moment.
Rebecca, who had known him then and knew him now, who had been there for his entirely one-sided fight with the word gay and had also been there when the word had won.
He could not, in any plausible way, be angry at her for laughing at what he’d just said.Desmond looked at him. “Oh, did you,” he said, not hostile, and it was not a question. It sounded rather… amused. “Didn’t take you for the charming type. No offence.”
