    Summary

    His outstretched glove hangs there, frozen, as the noise of the arena mutates into a ringing buzz. Then he’s moving, pushed away by Marlow, and then Boston’s goalie. There’s a flurry of movement, a trainer with a towel, more blood dripping onto the ice, and he just. Stands there. Staring.

    Ilya is helped off the ice. Shane doesn’t even tap his stick.

    Remember when Sidney Crosby caught a puck with his jaw? That doesn't happen to Shane. That happens to Ilya.

    Summary

    D/s AU - John Watson is a sub-for-hire, working off the debt Harry accumulated while he was off in Afghanistan. Sherlock Holmes rents his services for the night as an escort to Mycroft's fancy party (and a thumb of the nose to his brother). John proves to be even more interesting than Sherlock expected, though, just as Sherlock proves to be not as frightening a dominant as John had feared.

    Summary

    After her father died in the Battle of Hogwarts, Pansy Parkinson believed she was free. Three months before her twenty-fourth birthday, however, her guardian is found and invokes her ancient family rites to issue an ultimatum. Forced to choose between the loss of any autonomy or of her magic itself, she has exactly one loophole.

    Marriage to Neville Longbottom.

    But as she grows to know her new husband, she realizes that he's nothing like the boy she used to bully in school. Unfortunately, some wizards will stop at nothing for revenge and Pansy has to decide how much she can ask of the man she convinced to marry her.

    Nile smiles. "But God is bullshit?"

    Booker shrugs. "Maybe. To me. But that doesn't make Him any less real to Nicky, or to you. Doesn't make it any less sacred."

    Nile looks into his eyes, calm and steady. Thinks green might be her favourite colour.

    "Yeah. Well, I think you're a good person, Book."

    Or: Booker and Nile fall in love, and also fall asleep.

    Hi, thanks for finding your way to my little ol' blog. Blogging in 2021? I know. But sometimes you're a woman with a dream, and that dream is to write about sex toys and orgasms and to write off lube as a business expense. Turns out, blogging's the best way to do that, and turns out, there's a whole community of us out here. Hell yeah! My name's Nile, and if you make a joke about my name, I'll block you. 💚

    “Are you coming back?” she asked, having found a bottle of whiskey and taken a healthy drink for her troubles. “Joseph misses your poker games.”

    “Nicholas can play well enough,” he said, closing his eyes before she could turn to look at him. “Joseph would appreciate winning for once, I’m sure.”

    She snorted. “I think he’d prefer having you back.” A lengthy pause. “We all would.”

    Summary

    “Unless you thought you were going to last on this mountain without an ounce of survivalism.

    Nile shrugs. “Surviving is just kind of our baseline.”

    Booker looks at her with utter disbelief. “Mon dieu, you were going to starve without me.”

    Summary

    'It is heady, is it not, the affection of Andromache the Scythian?' Quỳnh asks.

    It really is, Nile thinks as she taps an unsteady pattern along the edge of her mug. The tension grows in the quiet morning air, awkward and unwieldy and Nile feels it as a physical itch against her skin.

    'The weight of being seen by the oldest woman on earth, of being held by her --' Quỳnh says it matter of factly with perhaps a hint of reverence and Nile cannot detect any anger or jealousy. That's somehow worse, the surety of it. As if the small fragile stem and tendrils of love (she can't lie to herself, she knew what it was, what it could have been) would be crushed by the centuries of emotion between Andy and Quỳnh, choked and overshadowed and insignificant.

     

    Quỳnh's sudden return upends the blossoming feelings between Nile and Andy. When faced with the overwhelming depth of emotions between the oldest women on Earth, Nile accepts the inevitable. Except Quỳnh is not what Nile expects and perhaps there is a way forward; for Andy and Nile, for Nile and Quỳnh, and, most surprisingly, for them all.

    Summary

    One must watch their words around the Fey. The magical beings from beyond the barrier speak in riddles and half truths and they can covet every little secret they can pry from you. Giving the Fey any indication of your feelings, thoughts or even your true name, gives them power over you.

    Nico knows this. His Grandmother taught him to protect himself from the wily creatures: he lays his wards, keeps himself to himself, and is in complete control. His acquaintance with the charming, amusing, (infuriatingly beautiful) Fey guard Yusuf is just that, an acquaintance. Sure, they have grown close over the years but Nico has always kept his professional distance, the incident at last midwinter notwithstanding.

    And he will continue to do so. Even if Yusuf turns up at his house, late one night, in desperate need of Nico's help.

    Summary

    “I just—” Joe settles into bed, curling into Nicky’s side like he does every night. “I just wish—”

    How? How can he say that he wishes it were as easy as a condom breaking, a mistake between two teenagers, or as easy as a husband impregnating his wife—something done four times with ease—and not sound like a cruel, jealous, petty man?

    “I wish I could give this to you,” Joe says finally, his voice soft.

    Joe and Nicky have been trying to adopt for nearly a decade without success. With the impending arrival of a new addition, Joe—hurt, frustrated, adrift—learns that love, hope, healing, family, doesn't always happen according to plan.

    Summary

    “Are we friends now?” Joe asks. Nicky reaches up to pat Joe on the back, shifting his weight through his hips so he’s got enough power to push Joe into the water. When Joe comes up, spluttering, hair hanging lank across his face, he stares at Nicky, who looks back at him with a lopsided smile.

    “Now we’re friends.”

    Summary

    Nile Freeman is at loose ends after a near-death experience that ended her naval career. When a friend of the family tells her about a position as lady's companion for the reclusive widow Lady Andromache at her country estate, Scythian Woods, Nile accepts the position with reluctance. It isn't an auspicious job--the manor is falling apart, her employer doesn't seem to want anything to do with her, and strange noises and occurrences are starting to make her believe the house is haunted. With a little persistence and the help of Lady Andromache's household staff, however, Nile discovers the secrets of Scythian Woods...and herself.
