Summary
After their close call with Yuri during his visit, Yor and Loid reach the conclusion that they are still grossly unprepared for situations that may test the validity of their love, and consequently, marriage. Given Loid’s need for a wife and Yor’s need for security (and both their needs to uphold the duties of their secret identities), this simply won’t do. Hence their new contract, to be completed at least once a day, without fail:
Practice kissing.
While the common expression fake it till you make it may apply here, there’s no advice on what to do when everything starts to feel too real.

Summary
Her head jerked up, eyes narrowing, only to be met with a pair of the most startling sea green eyes she’d ever seen. The nose between them looked like it had been carved from marble, the lips beneath that were perfectly shaped, full. He was tanned, topped with a mop of wavy black hair, and he looked like a Greek god on earth; Annabeth would know. She was the resident expert on Greek gods. It only took a second for these thoughts to cross her mind before she realized he’d said something to her with a smile and she blinked, “What?”

Summary
“How did you find me?”
“I didn’t find you. I saw a stranded car. I thought someone needed assistance.” He jutted his thumb towards his own vehicle, a large lifted truck that looked suitable for a lumber yard, and said, “So I came to investigate.”
She blinked up at him, then pithily said, “Of all the snowblown roads in all the world.”Or, Zelda is stranded in a snowstorm and gets rescued. Smut happeneth.
