Summary
Back in Katolis post S3, Callum and Rayla have been sharing a room but not a bed (as per TTM). They finally mustered the courage to ask Opeli if they could sleep together in the same bed. Surprisingly, Opeli said yes... but on the condition that they both attend her lesson on how babies are made. Rayla thinks this is going to be a breeze as she’s had sex ed before. Callum’s not so sure…
Rayllum fluff, sweetness and a whole lot of embarrassment ensues. Rated E for very explicit discussion and description of sex and making babies. If you don’t want to read a very thorough sex education discussion (would you expect any less from Opeli?), then don’t read this!

Summary
Callum helps Rayla braid her hair one evening in their room at Katolis Castle. But since it’s a full moon and they’re both topless while he does this, things soon get a bit heated. Rayla is surprised how quickly things can get messy.
Rayllum fluff, embarrassment, sweetness and humor ensues. Rated E for boobs and a sweet and innocent, but still explicit, discussion and description of the results of a male orgasm.
Continuing my What if Rayla hadn’t left after S3 AU series “Only Love (aka Dorks in Love)”, this fic picks up after the last fic of that series, “Getting Wet”. It’s the first in the (M/E) continuation of the story, but in a different AO3 series so that folks who don’t want more than T rating won’t accidentally end up here.
Even with its higher rating, this series will continue all the adorkable fluff and humor of the previous one. Think of it as sexy rom-com starring our two favorite dorks. A sweet diversion from all the angst of everything past the end of S3.
You don’t need to have read the previous works in this series, but there are some references to stuff that happened before so I recommend reading the helpful recap in the Notes below before reading this fic.

A pleasant respite from all the S4 worry and angst! (I know it is for me 😊)

Summary
Callum uses his wit to rescue Rayla from being forced to “lend a hand” to Aaravos, Viren and Claudia.
A lighthearted, silly, very punny take on a tumblr post asking whether anyone thought Rayla might actually lose her hand before the end of the show.
All I can say is, not in this fic!

Summary
Anya had never been held like this before - like she was precious and important. She felt safe; she felt loved.
But that was dangerous. No one ever wanted to keep Anya.
She pushed him away, furiously wiping away her tears, desperately trying to stop more from falling, and failing.
“Wh-who are you?” she asked.
His sudden devastation ripped through her like a relentless hailstorm. She whimpered at the pain of it. She had never felt an emotional blow like this. It felt like the world was ending.
But he didn’t show it. He absorbed the pain, his face didn’t even twitch. No tears touched his eyes. He didn’t visibly react at all.
She doesn’t remember.
