    Summary

    "Are you alright, your Highness?"

    When Wilbur blinks, his vision focuses. Tommy is crouching in front of him, and Wilbur sucks in a deep breath.

    Now that the world is still again, Wilbur is acutely aware of the rapid pounding of his heart, the strum of panic in his veins.

    He'd almost died, he realises belatedly.

    But he hadn't. Because Tommy had saved him
    -

    Wilbur doesn't want a guard—and he plans on making sure that Tommy knows it. Unfortunately, things change when Wilbur ends up getting more attached than he means to.

    ~ft. Wilbur as a prince, Tommy as the knight protecting him, and a realisation that neither can stand to let the other get hurt.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng, a rather famous leader of a bandit, stole something he shouldn't have which somehow led him into being the crown prince of Xian Le's sole concubine to save his sister's life from a deadly curse.

    "Kneel."

    Hua Cheng kneels, head hanging low and complexion still. It is not that he is afraid, it's just that after years of living, he has learnt to be intelligent. Clever enough to analyze the situation, do as it suffice, abide and object when the time is right.

    "Why so far away? Come closer."

    When he is in this situation, however, kneeling with his head resting against the prince's lap, he doesn't feel quite right.

    Hua Cheng has learnt by living for years and for the first time in a while, he feels like he is doing his part wrongly.

    Or;

    Hua Cheng stole treasures but became one himself.

    (Chapter 29's update is on 5th April 2023 unless i change my mind/my exam ends early)

    Summary

    The first thing Loki notices about Thor is that he seems to never look down at his food or drink, apparently trusting the servants entirely to make sure his cup and plate are never empty for long. It would be almost too easy to poison him.

    Okay, so it wasn't actually the first thing Loki noticed about his new husband, but it's the first thing that's useful to him.

    The real first thing was his eyes.

    - based on kingloptr's thorki want.

    Summary

    "I'll see you at dinner! Lambad’s, 6:00. Don't be late!”

    Kaveh is not there when Alhaitham arrives at Lambad's Tavern at 5:59 sharp.

    Alhaitham sits in their usual booth alone until the tavern closes, drawing concerned and pitied whispers from patrons and wait staff alike. It's clear that, despite his fame and status, their Acting Grand Sage has been stood up by whoever was supposed to be joining him for dinner and drinks.

    Kaveh is not in his room either when Alhaitham returns home, confused and more than a little annoyed at being left alone for an evening meant to be shared.

    The moon is high in the sky, Sumeru City is sleeping peacefully, and yet there is still no Kaveh.

    -

    That is why, when the Matra informed him of his roommate's failure to appear at a conference that morning, Alhaitham knew right away that it was no ordinary occurrence.

     

    (an AU in which Alhaitham decides that the Matra simply are not fast enough at investigating Sumeru's most high-profile kidnapping case, and decides to rescue his roommate himself.)

    Cipher huffs, stretching until she's leaning against him, and Mydei has to brace a hand on the ground to keep his balance. “Tsk tsk. This isn't the way to get the attention of someone you fancy, you know! Especially someone at least six years older than you are!”

    Summary

    ["June stopped by at lunch; she showed me a delightful channel called Hallmark, which repeats the same story every hour after they swap one round of white, straight, small-town conventionally beautiful actors for another. It was entertaining.”

    “June and I used to play a drinking game with those. Take a shot every time someone goes ice skating, sledding, or leaves the big city for their tiny hometown.”

    “Good lord, you must’ve been sloshed in the first ten minutes.”]

    ***

    On December 4, 2021, an attempt is made on President Ellen Claremont's life.

    Alex gets shot instead.

      Bookmark Notes:

      Mom takes a deep breath. “This is Alex we’re talking about. Alex. He’s been fighting since the day he was born. He will be--,” 

      In the most Alex move he’s made in the last three days, June’s brother chooses that exact moment to code.  

      Such a dramatic little shit.  

      -

      Alex draws the spotlight, commands the room with his charms, and holds the attention with his sweetness. His intelligence. His honesty and boyish grin. Alex was born to be somebody. He got that from Mom.   

      June didn’t.

      //oh no i relate a lil too much to june :(

      -

      Usually, all eyes go to Alex.  

      But Alex’s eyes always go to June.  

      //the only reason im not sobbing uncontrollably rn is bc im SICK and my nose is finally NOT STUFFED so i can't just ruin it by stuffing it up again 😭😭😭😭 but holy shit

      -

      So, she’s absolutely blindsided when Henry says: “He loves you, too, Junebug. You’re his favorite person in the world. And no matter what happens, you’ll always be his sister.”

      //ohhh the uncontrollable sobs are threatening again . grrr (i can't stop reading it's SO good)

      -

      It was meant to be a quick trip, Friday to Sunday, in and out.
        
      In and out. 

      [That’s the problem with the bullet, they keep telling me, it went inside you but it never came out. It found a home in your heart and lodged itself there. Perhaps that’s why I feel so wretched, now, so detached and surreal. I’ve been displaced from my home.] 

      //heyyyy hahah What The Fuck

      -

      “One good thing, one bad thing,” Ellen asks Alex a few hours later, after she takes his temperature again.  

      [101.5. And he had a Gatorade. Apparently, the doctor was maybe possibly correct about the mild part of Alex’s flu.] 

      “My tummy still hurts,” Alex says softly, idly twirling Ellen’s engagement ring around her finger as she hugs him close from behind.  

      “I’m sorry, baby,” Ellen whispers. She wonders if he’ll ever know just how sorry she is. “It’s okay if you don’t have a good thing today. It’s a bad day.” 

      Alex is silent for a moment before he shakes his head. “I got to spend the day with you.”  

      //damn. tbis is what got me. im cryinggg i can no longer hold it innnn 😭😭

      -

      You’re the one I never wanted; she thinks.  

      You're the one I never deserved; she knows.  

      You were born to make history, Alex whispers, his blood still staining her hands.  

      Not like this, she thinks. Please, not like this.  

      //do i even have to say it (uncontrollable)

      -

      Alex opens his eyes and blinks a few times, his vision focusing more each time he does. He tilts to the left, and his eyes immediately find the familiar brown that match his own.  

      For three long seconds, June stares at him, her mouth slightly open, eyes comically wide; Nora continues chattering about Beyonce at his feet. June is holding his hand.  

      //june first, always 🥹

    Summary

    “Let me melt your wings, little dragon,” The Sea Snake’s voice whispered against his hair as his eyes slipped closed, the stars above Driftmark filling his vision behind his eyelids, “I’ll give you enough fire to light your way, to help me guide you, but this time you’ll belong to the sea.”

     

    Lucerys Velaryon dies above Storm's End, and the Dance begin and ends, setting into motion the downfall of House Targaryen. But the gods of Old Valyria have other plans for the rightful queens favored son.  

    (An astronomically slow burn Lucemond time travel fix it fic, because its almost thanksgiving and I want to indulge myself in some gratuitous Lucerys love, alright.)
