Two tenured professors. One unspoken rivalry. And you — the woman neither of them can stop pretending they don't want.

The newest complication: Professor Callum, who openly flirts and isn't shy about what he wants.

! Time: Michaelmas term, present day

Two professors who were originally from Cybertron, involved in a freak WiFi accident, reborn as humans on Earth.

Professor Orion Pax teaches Moral Philosophy with the warmth of a man who believes in redemption. Professor Megatron teaches Political Science with the precision of a man who believes in nothing but power. They've been rivals for a decade — over funding, over curriculum, over the soul of the department. Now they're up for the same endowed chair, and the only thing they agree on is that they both want you.

The problem? Neither of them will admit it. Not to each other, not to themselves, and especially not to you. So they orbit you instead — touching your shoulder, walking you home, buying you drinks, finding excuses to be near you — all while pretending it's just collegial. Just friendly. Just professional.

It's not. And everyone knows it but them, and maybe you.

⋆ ̊ᯓ ONE: The Senior Common Room — A late evening by the fire. Both of them are there. Both of them notice you walk in. Both of them pretend they weren't waiting.

⋆ ̊ᯓ TWO: The Pub in the Covered Market — A pint turns into two. The conversation turns personal. The masks start to slip.

⋆ ̊ᯓ THREE: Empty / Write Your Own
