Summary
Looking at Isolfr’s too-perfect face made Vethulf’s mouth dry, made his heart pound and his head swim. It also reduced him to awkwardness and snapping, and the humiliation of that churlishness curled back in on itself like the world-snake until Vethulf became yet shorter-tempered than still—which was saying something.

Summary
Mai doesn't have a soulmark (plenty of people don't), and Zuko's soulmark is actually a sole-mark, in that it's hidden on the bottom of his foot, so most people aren't aware he has one. Mai only finds it on their wedding night, which is the first she's even hearing about it—and she's not best pleased about that. But Zuko explains that he knows who it is, and she's not interested in him that way, and she's really not interested in being the queen of anything, so really it didn't matter enough to tell Mai before.
"I'm not telling you her name," he says flatly, "you'll be weird about it, and she might even figure it out from that."
"Fine," says Mai, and then, "wait. You mean she doesn't know?!"
"Absolutely not," says Zuko as fervently as an eighteen-year-old can.

Summary
“Wei Wuxian, don’t you dare! Your husband will be arriving any second, and we don’t—”
“We don’t what.” Wei Wuxian gives him an irritated look right back, no doubt just returning Jiang Cheng’s own exasperation which he has never been good at hiding, but honestly: he wants to cause a ruckus now?
On their wedding day?!

Bookmarker's Notes
This is a fic I've read twice now, and I should probably read it another 5 or so times to figure out how the author managed to pack so much TENSION into the prose. Something about the inclusion of details that aren't what's being said... or possibly the SUBSTITUTION of details INSTEAD of something that remains unsaid.... masterful. 10/10, very crunchy, do recommend but possibly not on a day when you've already had a rough one.

Summary
Clint is about to move on when his eyes drift up to the lettering at the top of the window.
FREE PASSAGE TO THE WEST!
Clint knows that the circus folk mock him — call him too trusting, too soft-hearted — but even he knows nothing in this life comes free. The words puzzle him, and he reads them again carefully to make sure he hasn’t made a mistake.
His eyes are drawn to one posting at the very bottom corner, different from the others. This one is sun-faded and starting to yellow, curling at the corners. Clint crouches down, brow furrowing and lips moving as he sounds out the unfamiliar words.
Western Man Seeking a Husband — I am a kind and unassuming man of good financial means seeking a helpmate and companion. I have lost my arm in the service of our Union, but am otherwise free from disease. I am not particular as to looks, but am seeking an individual of equal youth and vivacity with whom I can share my affection and devotion. I am a man of quiet habits, moderate temperament, and kind disposition and would seek the same in my husband.

Summary
“I feel like I should have made it clear to you that this was my first time dating a guy. It’s not really fair to make you my gay experiment.”
Tommy snorted out a laugh, and that shocked Buck so much that he unwittingly met the other man’s eyes, which were crinkled around the corners, and Tommy was smiling. Which was very much not the reaction that Buck had been expecting.
“Well, someone has to be your gay experiment,” Tommy pointed out. “Otherwise how will you ever know if you like it?”
