Summary
The slow press of lips, unworried. The kiss of teeth to his lower lip, enough to shock up his spine and leave his legs weak. Naruto presses a lingering kiss to the corner of his mouth.
Sasuke belatedly realizes they haven’t been discovered.
His brain kicks back into gear, one thought at a time. It’s slow going.
Naruto’s hands are still holding him close. While he scrambles for purchase in anything like logic, he dips his head and presses his warm mouth to Sasuke’s throat. The kiss of teeth, enough to unmake him.

Summary
Edgar won the great game of capitalism. He had it all: a private O'Neill cylinder, a ship-of-theseus body that gave him decades of life beyond his threescore-and-ten, and access to the finest meals imaginable. He dined like a king for every meal of every day, spent his every free moment honing the craft of cooking. Then the game was canceled. The Affini arrived, and it was only by capitulating that he saved himself. Now he's playing their game: freedom (such as it is) or domestication, the stakes his very soul. For five years, he stayed on top. Then he met Phorada.
Phorada Insignis, Eighteenth Bloom, master mnemonic cartographer and culinary xenoanthropologist. If a sophont has cooked it, he's eaten it, identified each of its components with his impossibly sensitive palate, cooked it for himself, and written a book about it. The Milky Way is new territory for him, a culinary frontier populated with cultures and sophonts yet to be catalogued — but it's the Terran Accord, a culture living in the shadow of mass extinction and culinary collapse, that fascinates him the most. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, Phorada's going to do what he does best: turn memories into meals.

Bookmark Notes:
Minha nossa, que história boa, já estou achando ótimo e só pude ler o primeiro capítulo! E que primeiro capítulo bom! Temos uma introdução envolvente, muita gastronomia e dois personagens afiados.
Para começar essa historia tem um protagonista problematico um pouco diferente do que é comum nas historias desse fandom. Normalmente, o personagem principal segue uma ou mais dessas características padrão: um feralista extremista e anti minorias, um neurodivergente que apenas quer sobreviver ou um brotinho que quer ser dominado, e o personagem é de alguma forma afetado negativamente pelo capitalismo extremista do Accord. No entanto nessa fanfic temos um homem independente, ex-rico e completamente funcional, sem contar que é um terráqueo com mais de 100 anos!
Adorei que o protagonista, Edgar Jonathan Walsh (que nome chique), é um homem da terceira idade, sempre tive uma certa curiosidade para saber como os terráqueos mais velhos lidavam com a vida antes e durante a dominação dos Affini. Sei que tem histórias do universo HDG com personagens idosos, mas a grande maioria são personagens, no mínimo, secundários ou que representam uma figura de autoridade na vida do protagonista, quase nunca o idoso é o foco da narrativa.
Aqui Edgar, além de velho, é rico ao ponto de ter financiado a criação de uma língua sintética FUNCIONAL, oh céus o cara era RICO PRA CARALHO, enfim.Ricasso, mesquinho, exigente, luxuoso e que se não fosse inteligente certamente já estaria domesticado a muito tempo, afinal Edgar não suporta os Affinis, odeia comunistas e ainda por cima acredita que o luxo e o conforto deveriam ser coisas exclusivas para poucos. Se esse cara externalizasse seus pensamentos assim como os feralistas fazem ele com certeza já estaria domesticado, mas com a chegada de Phorada isso não é algo mais tão inconcebível...
E por falar no Affini poderoso, OH MEU DEUS, mais um Affini incrível para minha lista de alienígenas dominantes interessantes. A maioria dos Affinis principais nas historias, pelo menos a maioria que já li nesse site, sempre estão no máximo na quarta ou quinta floração, no entanto Phorada está nas sua décima floração, e minha nossa que delicia. Affinis mais velhos tendem a ser mais dominantes, imperialistas e de certo modo conservadores (em um âmbito xeno poderoso e benevolente), o que é perfeito para um terráqueo como o Edgar. Acredito que se tem alguém que pode transformar esse cara em um Floret fofo e submisso esse alguém é o Phorada, mesmo que seja uma jornada longa, mas todos nós sabemos que terá esse fim hahahah. Pobre terráqueo riquinho, achava mesmo que seguir um cronograma e ler um livro impediria sua domesticação, mal sabe ele que só o fato de ele ser um sofonte já abre margem para ele ter uma coleira em seu pescoço! (Bem, na verdade certamente ele sabe, mas mesmo assim tenta)
A dinâmica da primeira interação deles é deliciosa de se ler, Edgar sempre vai estar nas pontas dos pés com medo de ser domesticado quebrando a cabeça para encontrar a resposta certa e Phorada sendo todo tranquilo na maior parte do tempo, mas estando sempre atento as reações do humano e demonstrando sua imponência naturalmente, uff.
Acredito que as sessões com classe H vão mexer com a mente do nosso protagonista, mas será algo tão sutil que ele só vai perceber de fato quando for tarde demais. Serão pequenas mudanças de comportamento com ele se sentindo cada vez mais atraído pelo Affini, querendo estar mais perto dele e ter mais conversas, ter mais momentos de culinária e então PAH sendo caçado como o filhotinho que ele é, uff uff.
Eu espero muito que o autor siga com essa história. A escrita é tão envolvente e gostosa, fiquei com gostinho de quero mais na ponta da língua.

Summary
But Draco was still looking at the girl with the covetous gaze that all Malfoy men wore when they knew something belonged to them.
This was different, though. There was something else here that was not Malfoy. Not even Black. It was unique to him. It was the same wild-eyed and excited expression he had when he brought home his gifts and sparked with magic no one so young should have. Magic that tasted like ozone and petrichor and fate.
Narcissa knew, then.
She braced herself.
or, Draco is born cursed and stricken by a violent, magical Wind that comes bearing gifts, even when he is sentenced to Azkaban. None of that has anything to do with why Hermione Granger pays him a visit.

Summary
“Death is fair-”
Narinder raised a brow at them, but listened. “It’s the only guarantee we have,” they continued, “and I think-” Lambert turned their eyes up to him for a moment before looking away, “I think that’s beautiful.”
-
“Better than us?’ Leshy leaned forward, “his kin, his family? What deal could you barter with him that he won’t beat you at?” The bagworm scoffed and kicked his feet up to lay down. “Betrayer of the betrayer, I look forward to seeing the next bout between the two of you- what, are you two some two headed snake consuming itself? I’ll make sure to place a bet before the end of it.”
-
Why did Narinder betray his family? Perhaps a Lamb, tired and weary, might help him detangle his heart.

“But you admit it! You did tempt me!”
“I offered you warm food during a storm,” Crowley argues. “If you call that temptation, I’d hate to see you talk to an innkeeper.” Aziraphale scowls some more. Crowley shrugs. “Besides, no harm done. You seem to be enjoying yourself.”
He has Aziraphale there. “Still,” he says, spreading his hands wide. “It has to be said—” He glances up to the sky. “—for anyone listening, that I am not at fault for my appetite.”
“Never said you were,” Crowley says. “Just said you liked the oysters.”
or, an examination vis-à-vis food and forgiveness

Summary
Bruce never thought he'd be put in a position like this. Forced to organise funerals with too-small caskets and decide which damn shirt his child should wear as they lower him down into the ground. Sit in the unsettling stillness of Jason's room and not expect a huffing teenager to come in and kick him out for overstaying his welcome.
Bruce stands and walks towards the desk, reaching out for the unfinished booklet left open on the desk. His hands stops right before he reaches the page. It's one of his school workbooks, chemistry from the looks of it.
Jason was halfway through question seven.
(Jason's room, after his death.)

10 Aug 2025
Summary
Just a series collecting all my Anonymous JayDick fic for easy searching. Unless specifically noted within a fic's notes (say, a certain fic is a sequel to another) none of these are connected.
Happy reading!
Finally remembered to add to the series description itself, but wanted everyone to know that I'm always open to someone continuing or being inspired by my works! Other fics, podfic, art, etc. It's a great compliment. All I ask is that it remains a Dick-centric pairing and bottom Dick. You could even make Dick an Alpha if you desired; as long as he still bottoms, I would be happy. This series was made to get a little more bottom Dick out into the fandom, after all. <3

The Ache of Being Loved (it took 29 years, but who was he to complain?) by Sharkshack756
Fandoms: 9-1-1 (TV)
20 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
It was his most prominent memory of his childhood. Her complaints over his untidy appearance, as if he was ruining their perfect family image. As if Maddie running as soon as she could didn’t stain that. Because Buck—Evan—being a ‘waste of potential’ and a disappointment really put their family on the map of outstanding. The wooden floors of his childhood house were thick, but never solid enough to muffle the acidic words his mother had for him.
His clothes weren’t spotless. He was always covered in blood, scrapes or bruises. The constant ER visits, neighbours whispering over the rowdy and reckless Buckley child. But his curly hair was the cherry on the shit-pie. In his mother’s eyes that was Buck’s—Evan’s—greatest sin. At least, for twenty-nine years, he thought it was.
Bobby takes Buck home after "Buck Begins" and finds out he has curly hair. They talk about it, in a roundabout way.
