Summary
Hey! I "finished" this fic about a year back, but with the benefit of hindsight, I feel like the first half is much stronger than the latter. I fully intend to rework this whole thing into something more cohesive this year, so stay tuned! Feel free to read and enjoy this fic in its current state, and be sure to leave some feedback if you feel like it! Even if it's criticisms or some details you feel are off. This is essentially a rough draft for what I intend to turn into a full-fledged novel somewhere down the line. Stay safe, and I hope you have a phenomenal year, despite everything. Sending lots of love and hugs your way!

Summary
The water laps at their skin, gently; the guitar strumming in the background only adding to their current state of bliss and unawareness of the world outside of the room.
After countless days and weeks spent under the Moroccan sun, and the equally oppressing and delightful heat present in the region, his skin has managed to turn what could be described as olive. To his eyes, at least. Joe (of course), has made it abundantly clear that, no, Nuri*. It is not by any stretch of the mind noticeable.
But then again, he’s also been more insistent on covering every inch of his skin with both his lips and his tongue. More so than usual. And that is saying something.
His money’s on Joe being full of it.

Summary
It was quiet outside. Shockingly so.
He stares deep into the cityscape, wondering. Expecting. Cautiously letting his guard down; deep down fearing the worst.
Silently praying that Hell will indeed stay put, just for one night.
As the distant chime of the bells reach the twelfth ring, he makes up his mind. Sleep would elude him tonight. Again.
The curtains, translucid and soft as a feather, billow gently as the wind sweeps past him and into their room. He holds his sides with his hands, rubbing gently, and waiting for the shivers to pass. Even when they do indeed pass, he presses on.
He doesn’t have to heart to wake him up if it isn’t absolutely necessary for him to do so.
A defeated sigh escapes from his lips when he hears the wooden floorboard creak behind him.

Summary
It was an amusing sight to be sure, but above all, captivating.
Nicky’s eyes fluttered, all the while his lips did that quivering dance number that made the urge to let laughter escape from his own lips almost unbearable. His mouth was hanging open, just barely, making the quivering even more amusing, somehow.
No one looks particularly attractive while sleeping, but Nicky seemed to be the sole exception, to his eyes. One he couldn’t help but marvel at, even centuries after the first time they had decided that impaling one another over and over and over (and over) wasn’t exactly a productive way of spending the seemingly endless supply of time in their hands.
It was a strangely vivid memory, looking back on it.
At a certain point, they lost track of the amount of times they tried (and failed) to end the other one’s life.

Summary
So, this is a pretty huge deal for me. All my fics so far are self-contained and pretty damn short. They’re awesome, but limited in scope. I need to expand if I really want to take over the world with my stories.
This was initially going to be VERY heavily based on the Uncharted series, but I ended up adapting a handful of details from that series instead (exotic locations, the fabulous humor and character dynamics mostly) and created something original. I’m still outlining each chapter and I’m not sure just how long this project will turn out to be, but it’s going to be worth it. Every damn bit.
In this AU, the cast of characters have superhuman abilities. I'll explain as the story progresses. We’re talking undercover work. Stealth. You could say a Modern Robin Hood-esque style? Uncharted meets Mission Impossible in a nutshell. Quynh and Nico are a team, with Andy and Yusuf being the rival team. Classic enemies to lovers trope x2. Lots of anticipation culminating in... you'll have to stick around to find out.
Nile is Andy’s adopted sister, and is in a more supporting role, rather than a protagonist. Also, Booker is a mess. Obligatory Malta reference thrown in for good measure.

Summary
A hopefully never-ending collection of fluffy one-shots featuring our favorite Immortal Husbands (TM).
Each is a short vignette of sorts that can stand on its own. They usually won't be longer than 6-10 pages, but who knows. I might get inspired and get a chance to make a full-fledged multi-chapter story later on!
Focused mostly on domestic-ish shenanigans and fluff, but character study as well. I'm interested in doing a deep dive on what the immortality experience would be like, both the good and the more emotionally taxing toll it'd take on their incurably romantic asses.
I'll try to post something here at least twice a month, so stay tuned!

Summary
Arthur liked to be in control, or at least on even footing with whoever he was interacting with. That was how he’d always been. Just…maybe not with Eames. The thought of letting someone else take control, letting Eames take control, was…different. Intriguing. Enticing. Enough so that he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about it. Maybe even imagining what it would be like, more often than he cared to admit over the recent weeks, and what had started as a bit of teasing had started to become more and more serious in his mind.

Summary
Bilbo's grey eyes dart to Thorin's little companion, still perched in the crook of his arm.
"Frodo?" he murmurs with a frown of utter incomprehension on his face, and then his gaze shifts back to Thorin once more. "Tho…" his voice gives in, and Bilbo tries again, with effort, "Thorin?"
"At your service," Thorin breathes out, the most absurd thing he could have possibly come up with.

Summary
“Hey, look.” Nile came to a stop next to Nicky’s desk and took a sip of her coffee. “People are finally moving into the place across the street.”
“Hmm?” Nicky sat back from his computer and followed her gaze out the window. Across the street, he could see into an apartment where a man was setting down boxes. Nicky and Nile shared an office, and they used to be fortunate enough to have an unobstructed view of the city. But a couple years ago, new construction had gone up. Now their view was straight into the large sleek window of an apartment in a highrise.
Joe moves into the apartment across from Nicky's office, and he has a penchant for leaving the window open.

Summary
Booker had mentioned they’d have an international guest training with them for a few weeks before the World Cup circuit begins, but he hadn’t specified who. Joe was not expecting Nicolò di Genova, the Italian biathlete with the startling eyes, and the competitor who he’d privately made it his mission to beat this year after landing one spot behind him in World Cup points last season.
Joe is a biathlete on the Canadian national team, gunning for his second Olympic Games - and hot on the heels of Nicolò di Genova, the enigmatic, infuriating Italian biathlete who he just can't figure out.

Summary
Poe--and Rey for that matter--argued Finn had already met the trials fighting the First Order. But there was something about the challenge he savored. Not that he’d told anyone, but he dreamed of the kyber crystal at the bottom of the sea. Singing to him night after night in a sad sonorous tone. This one was his, he could feel it. Finn wasn’t sure how he would fix it, but there was a certainty seated deep in his chest. He could fix it and in doing so would connect with the Force in a way he’d never imagined.
