Summary
Costis has never been smart enough to follow the king, despite how much he longs to, always. It is far easier, he has found, to put his faith in the king wholeheartedly and deal with the consequences later. “What is the Rite of Gamelia?” he asks obediently.

Summary
"Your previous owners," his new owner began.
Hiruma wanted to know what he was good for, Sena guessed, and resolved to make himself sound useful by any means possible. He didn't kid himself that it would save him from whatever pain was in store for him, but maybe in the end Hiruma might decide not to kill him, if he had some long-term value.
"They ever play you in a team?"
What few pitiful examples of his own usefulness Sena had managed to gather now fell apart in the face of his confusion.
"A sports team," said Hiruma impatiently.
It wouldn't do to look too incredulous. If his master looked at his pathetic body and saw some cannon fodder for whatever sport he had in mind, Sena had to show willing.
It must not have worked, because Hiruma gave a pleased little smirk. "Good, no one's seen you, then."

Unresolved Sena/Shin and Sena’s slave status, resolved football tournament and revenge plot
Can I say Queerplatonic Hiruma~Sena when it’s an intimate master/slave relationship?? Is that problematic…

Summary
Ichigo sleeps, obviously, but—first with the nightmares of his mom dying, and needing to take care of the girls in the middle of the night when they were little, and then Isshin’s increasingly aggressive “training” over the years—he doesn’t sleep deeply. Not in his own house, and certainly not anywhere outside of it either. He’s learned to get shut eye when and where he can, but he’s never so deep under that he can’t snap to awareness in an instant if he needs to.
It often leaves him feeling restless, a little strung out and tense, but it’s fine. He’s gotten used to it. He’s long-since learned how to walk the knife’s edge of exhaustion.
But.
But not at the Urahara Shoten, apparently.
---
OR:There's only one place in the three worlds where Ichigo can actually get some rest. What starts as a one-off accidental nap turns into a habit.
for the prompt: sharing a bed

The way you write Ichigo’s thoughts and feelings about Kisuke, and what Kisuke does to him, and what he wants Kisuke to do to him… makes me feel like I put my head inside a particle accelerator ⚡️💥✨

Summary
Ignis has been Noct's caretaker for several years; naturally, that leads to experimentation, and a thing they don't talk about, just like Noct never talks about how he's still dealing with his injuries and Ignis never talks about how he's perfectly happy to just be there for whatever Noct wants.
Takes place just before Parting Ways, prior to the events of Ch.1 Departure.
Notes regarding Noct's condition are in the endnotes.

Summary
How do you tell a dog from an SAS sergeant?
Soap's been trying to think of a punchline, but so far, all he's got is a dog’s gotta shit in the woods and bury it slightly more often than an SAS Sergeant.

Summary
“Zoro—”
“Did you know?” he repeats, desperate, and Luffy just looks at him. And he wonders, then, how much of this has been preordained—how much of this is real, how much of this is him. How much of what he’s felt since they were wedged side-to-side in a shitty wooden boat on the East Blue has actually mattered, and how much has been the universe pressing him down into the mold of someone else's heart.
And then Luffy is gripping his horns, bringing his forehead down to meet his, repeating, “Zoro? Zoro?” like his name is a mantra, like he’s gone somewhere far away and gotten lost on his way back.
And Zoro blinks at him, then, and sees both of them at once—both of them—and he grips Luffy’s face in his own hands (claws) and presses his lips (violent, full of teeth) against his. Because this is who he has been waiting a thousand years for, the brightest and most beautiful of them all, the one thing he could never have—could never see, not if (Luffy, Joyboy, Nika) had made different (worse) choices—the thing that could never thrive in the darkness, just like he could never (has been unable to for centuries) survive without it—

Summary
“I have watched you,” it says, “and to kill you would not be punishment enough.”
“I don’t give a shit about dying—” Zoro snarls. “Where—”
“You will not have the mercy of oblivion.” And there is a slimy, melting sort of laugh that gurgles up from the wet depths of it. “You will not die because you’re dead. You will die because they are gone.”
“The fuck does—”
“I am alone,” it hisses, “because of you.” Then it reaches up with its last rotting hand and grips the lapels of his coat, lifts itself up even as the motion drives his sword deeper. “So you will live ten thousand lifetimes as I have lived, you piece of shit—”

Summary
“If I wanted to fall in love with a god,” Kisuke grins back up at him, “then I would have become a priest.”
Ichigo doesn’t laugh as Kisuke had half intended.
Instead, He turns those eyes upon Kisuke once more.
The golden, lotus-shaped irises almost seem to dance as Kisuke stares at them.
“Is that,” Ichigo says as the air around them almost seems to quicken and the hand He has in Kisuke’s hair tightens just a bit, “not what you did?”

Summary
While the king was at his table,
my perfume spread its fragrance.
My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh
resting between my breasts.
My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
from the vineyards of En Gedi.

Summary
He keeps moving forward at a steady pace, resisting the urge to run because how fucking embarrassing would that be, running because he missed them, and as he breaks through the treeline he shouts, “Oi, oi—what took you guys so long? It's been—”
And then he freezes, because yes, actually—something is very, very wrong.
The Sunny is anchored just off shore, close enough to see the deck but far enough away that the crew has had to take the Mini Merry to make land. Scattered across the beach in various stages of chaos—rolling around, yelling, fighting—are his crew but not his crew, so similar and yet so, so different. They look younger, fresher, and whatthefuck there, on the deck of the Sunny just peering over the railing, he catches a flash of green—his own green hair—
“Ah, fuck,” he grunts, and then immediately turns back around because no, actually, he does not want to deal with this.

Summary
It’s simple. Jo Yeong never thinks about it. He doesn’t allow himself to even entertain the idea. He pushes all the feelings down—down until nothing remains but the kind of devotion a subject should feel for his king.
In the mornings, he runs instead of getting into the shower. In the evenings, he studies or trains until he’s too exhausted to think about anything at all. On the rare occasions he does take care of himself, his mind is carefully blank.
It doesn’t matter. As long as he never thinks about it, never acts on it, never allows it to influence him, it doesn’t have to matter.
Jo Yeong has a secret he's been keeping for years. Now, it's trying to break free.

I think of this fic often! I don’t know this fandom so I can never remember the name of the tv show or the characters, I just always remember a banger of a fic about a king or emperor and his bodyguard or head of security? But I managed to find it again for a reread! So good ♥️♥️♥️

Summary
When long-ago humans felt this level of devotion, they erected temples to the objects of their attention. Cas could build monuments if he chose; he could twist stone and metal and clay into a structure visible from space and it would still be insufficient. He could rewrite the galaxy, as seen from Earth, into the pattern of Dean’s freckles in warm sunlight, and it wouldn’t be fair tribute.
“You are become my altar,” he murmurs, and Dean huffs out a small laugh.
“You’re so weird,” he says, fond, and Cas smiles at him.
-
A quiet scene, wherein Cas is very Jewish, Dean is very beautiful, and their love is very much a given.- Language:
