Markus Voss arrives twelve minutes early to everything. He has a system for every room, every conversation, every situation that might require him to feel something he hasn't prepared for. The system has kept him safe for years. Then Nolan Crawford walks into his philosophy seminar seven minutes late with a half-destroyed copy of Dostoevsky and no apology, and says out loud the one thing Markus has spent his entire life arguing against - Love should cost everything. Anything less isn't love. It's just a transaction. What follows is seven years. Two men. One argument about dead philosophers that was never really about dead philosophers at all. A slow burn that goes from seminar rooms to coffee shops to shared apartments to the kind of love that has to survive real life - careers, distance, the quiet drift that happens when two people stop updating the map they made of each other. This is not a story about falling in love. It is a story about what happens after. About the cost Dostoevsky was talking about. About whether two people can keep choosing each other when choosing gets difficult. BL | Literary Romance | Slow Burn | Mature The knife stops turning when someone is holding the other end of it.

She aimed her arrow at the monster's chest. He stepped in front of it-like a shield. Like a dare. > "Move." "Say please." Her fingers hovered over the keys. She hated his smirk.

Inside, her heart betrayed her. Their avatars stood close-too close for enemies, not close enough for lovers. Not yet. She shot anyway-just past his shoulder. Hit the monster. Missed him. On purpose. > "Next time," he typed, "aim for me. I'd survive you." She slammed her laptop shut- but only because her face was burning.
