    Summary

    Any work at sea was dangerous because of the merfolk and you had learned early to be wary, to watch the water and the fish and to react fast the second something felt even a smidgeon off to you. You had no desire to get attacked again, to add to the scars you already carried on your body.

    Mers were monsters in your opinion and the less you had to do with them the better - right up until the day you met one of the most dangerous mers of your life. A siren with eyes bluer than the sky and sea combined and hair the color of shimmering frost. Where others saw a divinely beautiful creature all you saw was death smiling back at you.

    Summary

    “I heard,” Varka says, “that you took some snowbloom pollen to the face.” Oh, well, that’s a nightmare. Flins can’t believe the Traveler told on him. “And I wanted to make sure you were… doing well.”

    Fixing Varka with an unimpressed stare, trying not to stare at his mouth, Flins crosses his arms. “The effects will dissipate in a day or two.”

    “They say the effects are miserable,” Varka says.

    After Flins inhales a most troubling pollen, Varka lends his assistance.

    Summary

    Pinocchio never makes a sound. It’s something everyone has known since he first appeared at the hotel. Until now it seems when you have him pushed on his back in your bed, new silk strands of brown hair messily splayed across your pillow. And, shockingly, a voice you’ve never heard before.

    You think that you might have been imagining things, so you rut your hips again, slowly, and once again the quiet of the room is broken by a soft whine as he presses a cold steel hand to your hip.

    You definitely weren’t imagining things.

    Summary

    P holds two fingers at the same level as your two very angry eyes.

    “P,” you warn but it’s cut off when he prods his fingers in your direction and pulls them back in a feint. You try not to flinch, but he sees it. “If you poke me one more time—”

    He does, and you squeal.

    The same warm look returns to your face as you whine. “Stop!”

    The corner of his lip twitches and tilts up, just a little. He's not trying to tease you exactly, unaware of why his touches seem to cause you to grow flustered and to squirm. But, well...P really likes your response much more than Spring's.

    Summary

    Zhongli, meanwhile, sits back in his chair, flabbergasted. “You mean to tell me in your twenty-odd years of life—” Childe corrects his age, clearly proud of his relative youth. “—you have never taken a lover?” He uses this turn of phrase deliberately, and it has the desired effect.

    Childe’s face flames. “That’s—that’s not—” He clears his throat and lowers his voice. “We were talking about dating.”

    “So you have done neither,” Zhongli says slowly.

    Childe has always been too dedicated to the Tsaritsa to find time for intimacy. Zhongli changes that.

    Summary

    Baizhu considers it a small blessing that Zhongli is comfortable enough with him to wear his true form, his adepti nature unveiled. It’s a recent blessing, a newfound comfort, and one Baizhu delights in. Zhongli trusts him enough to keep this most carefully guarded secret, the truth of who he is.

    Baizhu loves Zhongli in all and every form.

    Summary

    Mydei rolls his eyes toward Phainon, tugging on his shoulder. “Lean into me,” he says, ignoring the red flush staining Phainon’s cheeks.

    “Sorry.” Phainon adjusts himself, obeying once again. “I just—I didn’t think you’d—”

    Mydei narrows his eyes. “It’s just a photoshoot,” he says, as much for Phainon as for himself, because this is the thing of dreams. Of nightmares. Being this close to Phainon, pressed into him, breathing in natural scent of him, is almost too much. “Relax, Deliverer, or you’ll strain something, and then you won’t be able to spar with me tomorrow.”

    Phainon and Mydei help Castorice with a photoshoot.

    Summary

    “Any challenge is a worthwhile endeavor,” Varka replies. “But if you’re worried about being fair or giving me a handicap…” Flins certainly hadn’t said that, but now he’s curious, and he grows more curious as Varka withdraws a scrap of fabric from one pocket. “Play blindfolded.”

    The challenge whets Flins’s appetite. He isn’t the kind of fae who exults in games of chance but rather ones of wit and strategy, and he was fond of collecting intelligent men like glittering baubles at the Belyi Tsar’s court. “If I am to handicap myself, then I should receive a greater reward if I win, don’t you think?” he asks, the words out of his mouth before he can help them, for he, like all fae, loves a bargain.

    When a bad storm strands Varka at Flins's lighthouse, the two play chess to pass the time. After beating Varka twice, Flins agrees to play with a blindfold, provided the loser owe the winner a boon.

    Summary

    As time passed, with each day, hour, and minute, the pattern held true. The harder you worked, the more you learned, the deeper your understanding grew, and the easier victory came. This truth was revealed as you journeyed through the Lands Between, defeating all who faced your blade without mercy. Initially, there was a hint of compassion, but as the end drew near, any remnants of innocence were extinguished alongside those who fell.

    Yet, the Shadow Realm brimmed with the innocence you'd abandoned. In the Lands Between, you were merely Queen Marika's blade, but here, whispers of "love" from Miquella the Kind's disciples stirred you. The notion of a benevolent demigod was foreign, as those you encountered were rarely ever so gentle. They might end up being mistaken, or oddly enough, they could turn out to be correct.

    Summary

    You turn the little chip over in your hand, warm from sitting close to the battery for who knows how long it’s been there. How long has it been there? Is this what gives Caleb a sense of security? Watching you? Knowing where you are?

    You watch its red eye as you tuck yourself into bed, and imagine it a heartbeat. A little sun that flickers with each breath; a red giant whose warmth may have faded, but whose light refuses to go out.

    As always, you dream of your brother.

    While you’re busy navigating work obligations, crippling medical debt, and a heart that keeps you stuck in perpetual poverty, Caleb seems stubbornly set on taking care of you in his own way.

    Summary

    “But you must go. You must. I am not—” The dragon groans.

    “You’re sending mixed messages,” Wriothesley says, closing his eyes, tipping back his head, and trying very hard not to put his hands on the dragon’s hips to pull him closer still. For fuck’s sake, what is it with him and beautiful, dangerous men? “Can’t go if I can’t run. Can’t do any of that if you keep doing this.”

    The dragon whines in the back of his throat, mouthing the underside of Wriothesley’s jaw. “You must bind me,” he says. “And then walk—walk—out. Otherwise, my instincts… my desires…” He shudders. “I will want to chase you. Bring you back here.”

    When the Lady of Merusea asks Wriothesley to help with the local dragon, he expects the dragon will need a good slaying, not a good breeding.

    Summary

    They’re deep in the ever night beyond Okhema when Mydei notices the subtle change in Phainon’s scent. Phainon has always smelled pleasant enough, aside from the disgusting musk that comes with him being another alpha, but now that musk is more pungent and the other notes more subdued.

    “Deliverer,” Mydei says. Growls, really. He’s already annoyed. Phainon should’ve done this math before they left, and now they’re both about to be horribly inconvenienced. “Why are you going into rut?”

    When Phainon's ruined suppressants cause him to go into rut unexpectedly, Mydei helps him through it.

    Summary

    “You—you grabbed my collar, and it—” Phainon breaks off.

    Mydei lifts one hand from Phainon’s hip and slips two fingers beneath Phainon’s collar. “Like this?” He tugs once, twice.

    The sound Phainon makes is obscene.

    When Phainon won't stay focused in the agora, Mydei grabs his collar to help direct his attention, to interesting results.

    Summary

    Childe takes a deep breath, a steadying breath, and his chest catches. No wonder the secrets hurt so much. No wonder the betrayal cuts so deep. He knows exactly what this is. What he’s feeling. He should’ve expected this. After all those dinners, those shared evenings, the stories told, he should’ve expected this.

    Rubbing idly at his chest, he deflates, some of the anger sputtering out into dying embers. Most of it, really. It’s hard to stay angry when you know the truth: that you only feel so hurt and betrayed because you love so deeply.

    Love. What a joke.

    After the final battle with Osial, Childe and Zhongli find themselves separately facing a similar affliction of the heart.

    “What’s on your mind this time?” he asks.

    That Varka will go with the rising of the sun, that Flins is not canny enough to keep him. “The way your voice sounds right now.”

    Varka rumbles with laughter. “My voice is it?” he asks, turning his head to press his lips to Flins’s ear. “And what, exactly, do you like about my voice?”

    In the small hours before dawn, Varka attempts to trap Flins with a riddle he can't solve.

    Summary

    When Sesshomaru receives yet another breeding contract, he is prepared to dismiss it out of hand.

    Never once did he expect the contract to request InuYasha as the breeding male.

    Nor did he expect InuYasha to agree.

    What it leads to, ultimately, is a change in circumstances for them all.
