    Summary

    It wasn’t the first time Akaton’s been bitten by a leech. Hell, it was an occupational hazard, spend enough time killing the things, it’s bound to happen. But this was different. This was the first time one wasn’t trying to kill him, first time one didn’t have fangs, first time Akaton’s ever invited it.

    First time Akaton’s ever enjoyed it.

    OR, tragic gay cowboys both kind of want to eat each other, and neither are certain in which way.

    Summary

    Still tired and a little more than half asleep, he stumbled towards the bed and was ready to drop down on it when a quiet chuckle and an arm caught him.

    “Spencer, you gotta take your shoes and tie off at least.” Will said, already reaching for the tie and pulling it loose. For some reason Reid didn’t stop him. He could have easily swatted the shorter man’s hands away and done it himself. But instead he let Will loosen it and then ducked down so it could be pulled over his head. He tried not to blush. He told himself it was because he felt silly and not because of the warmth he felt building deep inside of him. Then he gasped, shocked when Will gave him a light shove backwards. He fell onto the bed and looked up at the man surprised.

    Will gave him a strange look, then knelt down and tapped at Reid’s shoes.

    Shoes. Reid thought tiredly, Will was going for his shoes.

    Hoping that Will hadn’t seen his obvious reaction to being tossed on the bed, he scooted back, making it easier for the detective, who was kneeling at the end of the bed, to reach his feet. He dropped his head back on the bed and sighed.

    Summary

    Cropped black jacket, collars lined with blood-red fur beneath which there’s an exposed expanse of a broad chest— muscles carved out of marble itself and lower… Chains hugging that narrow waist with a sturdy grip and even lower—

    Shouto has to hold back a groan.

    Two black strings sit on his hips beneath the pants— twisting and turning as the man walks around the stage, shouting to the crowd to hype them up, his baggy pants lowering just slightly with each step, revealing that sliver of blonde fuzz down there.

    Maybe it’s the alcohol playing tricks, but if this is DynaMight on a screen at a concert 20 feet away, then…

    Shouto doesn’t even wanna know what it’d be like in flesh.

    Summary

    She was raised within sky-reaching stone walls—among guards, soldiers, and sharp-tongued politicians—and learned the rhythms of court as easily as any dance. Aeryn Tauri was loved. By her family. By a kingdom that never intended to crown her.

    Princess of Navarre, she has always sensed something beneath that devotion—an unspoken truth she couldn’t name.

    So when she enters the Riders Quadrant, the deadliest path at Basgiath War College, it isn’t for glory or ambition, but for duty, for power, and for the quiet understanding that the crown must remain where it has always belonged.

    She expects hardship. Blood. Survival.

    What she doesn’t expect is for everything she knows to begin unraveling.

    In the Riders Quadrant, lies cut deeper than blades, trust fractures easily, and power is never what it seems. Aeryn is about to learn that fate isn’t something you follow—

    it’s something that can break. Or be broken.

    And when it does, everything will change.

    Summary

    Doctor Harley Sawyer was someone who valued quality and efficiency in his work. Especially if it was a vital part of his routine. So when he notices how his department has been declining in progress for the past few days, he does the only logical solution: question his right-hand man’s whereabouts.

    Unfortunately for The Doctor, Doctor Bruno White has actually been on sick leave for the past few days, explaining his departments’ lack of ability to function well.

    Exasperated by the incompetence of the other scientists, he calls in the only scientist rivaling White's expertise to watch over the Special Projects department while he himself would pay a visit to ‘oversee his ill assistant's condition’.

    Summary

    Adam Karadec thought that he’d left Nick Wagner behind until his one-night stand from six months ago walks into his precinct as the new captain. Suddenly, the man who once left him breathless is now his superior, and every glance, every word, is charged with unspoken history.
    Professional boundaries are tested with raw desire, stolen looks, lingering touches, and quiet, impossible conversations that blur the thin line between work and temptation. Karadec knows he should keep things strictly professional… but in private, Nick has a way of taking control, and Karadec is powerless to resist.
    The past is back, the office has rules, and neither of them can pretend it doesn’t matter. Some nights work being the only thing keeping them from losing control and slipping up but even that is slipping fast

    Summary

    You are a creative design student learning how to produce immersive concert visuals at Shaffer Conservatory, where you have romances with two teachers—one who loves to destroy you.

    This story has sexual and verbal abuse, prejudiced and generally hateful language, suicidality and mental disorder, father-daughter incest, gaslighting, and violence. DEAD DOVE: DO NOT EAT.

    All that said, this is also a love story.

    Mostly unedited and a slow burn. Additional non-Fletcher romantic characters feature heavily (but not to the story's deficit, I don't think).

    I'm verbose, figurative and neurotic, so you shouldn't read if you think that'll annoy you. But if you like this, please let me know :)

    Summary

    Cecil gives him a look, raising his right wrist and tapping it, before teleporting away. He does it casually enough that no one else in the vicinity cares. But, nobody else sees the look that Cecil gives him. The pinched brows, the growing smirk. The knowing expression of a man who is teasing.

    He’s messing with him, Mark realizes. Trying to get under his skin and put out the subtlest clues that he might be with somebody. It’s evil. Next-level psychological torture. Like he’s punishing him for listening in on the conversation a few days ago. No one would believe him if he were to say it out loud, and Cecil knows it.

    (OR: Mark finds out Cecil and Donald are dating and Cecil decides to torture him with the knowledge, "No one will ever believe you" style).
