this town of glass and ice

pairing: mostly gen but a bit of pre-relationship pining on meyer’s end rating: general A/N: in which meyer makes a business connection and also a vaguely flirty/pining-filled poker game occurs. follows the highest fall you’ll ever grace [ao3], set a bit more than a year later. also, yes, the series name and fic titles are all bastille lyrics, because i am shit at titles. a list of daemons, names and species, are at the end of the post, in case you want a mental picture before you read. also on ao3.

Characters: Margaret Rohan, Arnold Rothstein

Pairing: Marnie

Word Count: ~1,500

Summary: AR has a cold. Margaret has a kind disposition. Nose blowing and tea brewing ensues.

“Let’s see then, shall we?” she asked with a professional smile, placing her hand to his forehead. “You don’t feel abnormally warm.” 

Taken aback though he looked by her touch, he managed to tease, “Or perhaps your hands are simply cold.”
