Summary
A new batch of protoframes has appeared almost miraculously in the 'future' within the Sanctum Anatomica.
Taking residence in the Sanctum in order to combat the recent incursion of Murmur, and very predictably at this point, The Drifter by the name of Boros swiftly becomes infatuated with one of them— the quiet, troubled priest Lyon Allard, bearer of the Harrow strain and all of the weight that his history comes with.

Summary
Fellas, is it gay to see a warframe as your own skin, and for that warframe to see you as his soul?
Kullervo and the Drifter are practically inseparable, to one another; they are one in the same in their pain, in their grief, in their guilt..
So now that the Drifter has found a modicum of peace with people who love them.. Shouldn't he get to feel the same?(Intended to be a small series of very self-indulgent, semi-connected fics with the united theme of 'everyone the Drifter has sex with that is attracted to men going 'Oh No, He's Hot' at Kullervo Apostate')
(Much if not all of this is set after the events of my other work "Lament of Orpheus", as a note; so expect references to and spoilers from that fic)Series

Summary
The ladies of the Hex have been in a complex dance of emotions with one another for years now- or rather, just the one, several times over.
Eleanor and Lettie were thick as thieves, once, by Eleanor's account - perhaps they could have been more, but a chronospatially complex eldritch disease seemingly shattered any positivity between them. In theory, those pieces have been swept back up, but.. Neither have taken the time to see if they could be pieced back together.
Aoi has clearly had feelings for the two of them for a long time, but has not made moves towards either; there's even a chance BOTH like her! (⊙///⊙;) But; with the two of them so at odds on a day to day basis, could the two of them share her without causing spats.. Or, is her magnetism just what all three of them need to bridge the gap?
Meanwhile, Drifter and Eleanor have discovered that they are.. Perhaps a bit more than *usual* best friends to one another.
Dear Void, this mall is a gay mess.Series

Summary
"The glare and the glitter were never a mask. They were a message. Look at me, see me, because I'm not changing myself for you."

Summary
After discovering some very new things about himself, Amir comes out as his similar yet wildly different new self to the whole mall- the other Protoframes, at the very least.
In return for his bravery and in honor of his shiny new gender, Amir's partners aim to spoil the absolute hell out of him.
Hey Amir, you wanna be a good girl?(Fic is set directly after the events of my other fic, Amir's Gender Adventure, and features a nonbinary butch Amir who still uses he/him pronouns. Casually slaps Amir with my own pride flags just at a slightly different angle than I the transmasc nonbinary butch author am, don't mind me.)
(If you just want a cute follow up to my previous fic about my trans Amir headcanons, the first chapter of this which shows the other protoframe's reactions contains no smut)Series

Summary
After Drifter's first time piloting Amir in combat, both they and Amir have been left with a tangled mess of horny, yearning thoughts for one another, thoughts that shape dreams both beautifully fantastical and cruel to their poor aching hearts.
A lingering bit of transference static has Drifter feeling everything Amir does to himself, as the pair both work through shameful fantasies that they think can never come true..
No one thinks of their friend like this, right? Because clearly, that's all they'll ever be..
(Fic takes place between chapters 37 and 38 of 'First Loop')

Summary

Why not treat Lizzie to a romantic dinner of Orowyrm meat, prepared in a manner suitable for a king?Being the dramatic thing they are, reflecting upon *eating themself*, Drifter finally decides to add a name to their collection themself.
(Mini fic that's literally just here to let me start using their name in any fics set after this in my timeline, lmao)
(Spoilers/major references to my previous fic 'Lament of Orpheus' and also takes place after chapter 8 of 'Kullervo, Kullervo, Friend to the Blade', though reading that is not required to understand what's going on here)Series

Summary
Quincy and Arthur have a tension between them that cannot be explained in any heterosexual way, and the Drifter has very much picked up on this. They'll probably get punched for this by one or the other, but it's time for them to play Cupid a bit for their own best friend and finally thank him for his wingman skills.
For all their intuitiveness, however, they've failed to pick up on the massive crush that Quincy has had on them for years at this point.

Summary
Where is that line, where Flare ends, and Lizzie begins? How do they define it? Like anything with Flare, it is far more complex than a binary switch between one or the other.
The night after Flare and Lizzie reach their symbiosis, Flare trusts Lizzie to do whatever she wants to them, with one caveat: given their dysphoria for their new strange anatomy; stay away from anything that could much more 'classically' be called sex.
Lizzie is exceptionally excited for the opportunity to get creative in exploring their new relationship.mostly takes place after Chapter 13 of "Persistent as a Dying Star", and/or directly after the good end of Flare and Lizzie's KIM story.
