Summary
Principal Fox is pretty well-known.
People know the basics: that he is young, at least for someone who is already serving his second term as Principal of the Academy, and for someone who carries himself like a man twice his age. They know that he is immensely kind to the new cadets, stern with the officers, and unwaveringly righteous in a way that never feels self-serving.
They know about the Henry Fox, who followed his father's footsteps to become one of the finest captains of all time. They know that an injury forced him out of the field right at the prime of his career, cutting short a future full of even greater accomplishments. They know that even as he retreated from the frontlines, his love for space, for exploration, has never wavered. It shines through in the way his eyes still flicker with that same unyielding fire when speaking of the stars.
And they know that he is always, always alone.

Summary
Ilya tucked his smile against Shane’s neck and brought his hand down Shane’s front. “He used to be so boring,” he said to Hunter. “Would not let me fuck him because you were next door.”
Shane groaned. “You’re such an asshole—that was a long time ago,” he said. “I was trying to be discreet.”
“Yes, and now look at you,” Ilya said. “Go suck Hunter’s dick.”

Summary
The text arrives a second later. Being stuck in the airport is almost as boring as you
Another text from Lily: Send me a picture. I’m sooooo bored.
Shane lifts his phone and snaps a photo of the screen above the airline kiosk instead. JFK -> PHX - CANCELED. He hits send.
The phone rings immediately. “You are at JFK,” Rozanov says. Not a question.

Summary
Shane pulls back, carefully cradling Ilya’s face. “Maybe we shouldn’t.”
“You don’t want to?” Ilya’s eyes are bottomless; swimming with grief. He says it like he really means, You don’t want me?
“That isn’t what I mean,” Shane says gently, brushing his thumb over Ilya’s cheekbone. Ilya’s eyes flutter shut, as if being treated so tenderly causes him physical pain. Like he isn’t used to it. “You’re hurting. I don’t want you to regret it in the morning.”
Ilya’s eyes open. “I have never regretted a moment with you.”

The End of the End (We Live Again) by chamel for darwinsfinches

Summary
It’s not that he’s not thrilled for his best friend, or doesn’t want to be part of his big day. Henry wouldn’t miss Pez’s wedding for the world, and it’s going to be a wonderful day. But these days, weddings mostly serve to remind Henry of how far away something like that is for him. He hasn’t had a serious boyfriend in years, and he’s not getting any younger.
It’s fine. It’s just one day, after all. He just has to focus on Pez, on being happy for him and Liam, and he’ll make it through.
(After traveling to Texas for his best friend's wedding, Henry makes some questionable decisions, meets a gorgeous and intriguing stranger, and ends up kissing said stranger beneath the starlit sky. It's not a bad day. But maybe not the one he intended to spend the rest of eternity in.)

Summary
"I have just the man for you. One of our master stylists," Percy says. He brings Alex through the main salon area to a small back room with just three chairs and tells him to take a seat. There aren't any windows in here, but it's overflowing with plants and vines in all different shades of green, giving the feel of a secret garden.
Moments later, Alex is faced with a tall, young, blond man who is objectively beautiful, all symmetrical lines and a tight little waist that expands out to a broad chest and shoulders. A man who immediately puts his hands in Alex's hair, brushing strands aside, finger-combing, tugging this way and that. It's really nice, and Alex is feeling some type of way about being touched like this when no one has touched him in months. Years, a small voice in the back of his head pipes up, but he ignores it.
"What are you looking for today, Senator?" His voice is like silk. Alex blinks at the man in the mirror in front of them. He can see nipples peaked through his tight black t-shirt. Fucking hell.
Alex is a newly elected senator. Henry is a much younger hair stylist at Senate Hair Care Services. Everything is going to be...fine.

Summary
Whatever carefully blank expression Lestat is trying on disappears like a slap. “Armand made a fledgling. Why would he do that?” Lestat asks.
“Oh, you know,” Louis says, watching the three dots of a new text pop up. “He knew Daniel was… important to me.”
He means to say it with rueful annoyance, as if to say, “so he ruined him.” But as Daniel’s text comes in—the most important question I should have asked you in that fucking interview: where do you buy coke in Dubai?—Louis’s voice trails off, his words maybe lacking some of the bite.
or
Lestat misunderstands what Daniel is to Louis and tries to be a champ about it. Meanwhile Louis rediscovers his drug of choice—Lestat.

Summary
He knows what Daniel is about to say before he begins.
“Yeah, hey listen. I got some fact checking to do—”
“I’ve told you, Daniel. I’ve given my story. He can give his. I declined to participate in this documentary—”
“I watched you feed on Armand in Dubai, right? I’m not making that up?”
Louis’s hands pause. That wasn’t what he was expecting at all.
Or
For 114 years, Louis had an aversion to drinking Lestat's blood, but not for the reason Lestat thinks. Daniel reaches out to Louis for a fact check.

Summary
“Jesus,” Daniel said, once his dead heart had stopped racing.
“I don’t care for him,” Armand said. He was tapping away at his iPad. “Tell me. Which word do you think would cause greater offense: vapid or insipid?”
“Insipid,” Daniel said immediately, then, taking a closer look at the screen, “Are you fucking review bombing Lestat’s album?”
“It’s something to do,” Armand sighed.
Daniel just wants to get through The Vampire Lestat's documentary in one piece. The Vampires Lestat, Louis and Armand aren't making it any easier for him.

Summary
Henry has had three drinks when this man with glowing brown skin and a linen shirt unbuttoned too low starts towards the table. It’s a gay bar, and they’re a group of attractive people, so this isn’t the first person who’s approached them.
He’s the first one who looks like that.
Henry is staring and trying not to, and then Liam says, “Alex!” and gets up out of his seat.

Austin & Austen by clottedcreamfudge for chamel
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
24 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
It had been kind of funny, in the beginning – back when all this started, the impetus of it lost to time and tactical starvation and soul-destroying manual labour. Alex had almost wanted to argue about it – to bite back over the ‘funny thing’ – but that’s a lot harder to do when you’re passing notes through one of the more suggestible guards, face unseen. When Alex argues, he likes to do it with his whole chest; it’s not the same without being able to see your opponent.
Anyway, it’s funny – the fact that they’ve chosen almost the exact same codename. Austin and Austen. It would be laughable, if Alex could actually remember the last time he cracked so much as a smile.

Summary
There’s the sound of footsteps and the snap of twigs under feet, and Henry only just barely grabs for his shirt to cover himself from the waist down.
“Oh, fuck me,” a man says, looking Henry and Langdon up and down, then going wide eyed. “Shit. I’m sorry.”
Henry, not quite enjoying having a sexual encounter interrupted ever, and certainly not by some boy he’s never seen before, feels his expression turn cross.
“Are you lost?”

Summary
Alex didn’t think it was possible, but Henry’s hold turns tighter, and he pulls away slightly so that he can bite at the underside of Alex’s jaw, leaving a hickey high enough that Alex would have trouble covering it. Alex tilts his chin for better access, wanting to know if Henry is doing this just to deter Spencer.
“Is he still looking?”
“Alex,” Henry mutters, sounding annoyed. “I’m kissing you, stop thinking about other men.”
or,
henry knows he doesn’t have a right to be possessive over alex. it doesn’t seem to stop him anyway.Bookmarked by Never_enough_trees

Summary
He’s in too deep now. He can’t turn around and say ‘actually, sorry, I made that up. Free stuff, please?’ So he’s forced to walk himself to the gallows with a stiff smile.
Henry glances up when his shadow seems to cover his book, frowning. “Alex?”
“I need you to pretend to be my husband.”
“Excuse me?”
“I fucked up and now I’m going to look like a fucking psychopath if you don’t walk back with me to that booth covered in flowers and tell the very nice lady that we are on our honeymoon.”
Alex loves free shit. These are the lengths he's willing to go to in order to get them.

The Drum Beats Out of Time by OrchidScript, sparklepocalypse
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston, Red White & Royal Blue (2023)
12 Apr 2025

Summary
There’s a man in Henry’s bedroom. That, itself, isn’t noteworthy. He’s become rather proficient at smuggling men in and out of his room at Kensington Palace and his first-year flat at Oxford.
It’s not even especially noteworthy that the man is quite arresting. For better or worse, Henry’s title and reputation tend to help him pull gorgeous men with somewhat astonishing frequency. This man is, of course, particularly gorgeous. He’s tall, with olive skin, dark hair, and a bone structure that would send the old masters into a frenzy of pigments, linseed oil, and canvas.
But, perhaps, the most noteworthy thing is that the man in Henry’s bedroom is quickly and awkwardly wiping his eyes with the backs of his hands. That he seems just as surprised to see Henry as Henry is to see him.
Or, the handwavey, time-travelly, astral-projectiony, canon-smooshy AU nobody asked for, but we're giving it to you anyway.

Summary
“Oxford, like twenty years ago—” Twenty-one, actually. “I was there for a term abroad. We had a class together.” Alex huffs a disbelieving laugh and pushes a hand back through his curls. “We, uh, well. There was that party after final exams…”
“I’m so sorry, I don’t recall that one” Henry lies, flashing an apologetic smile. “I don’t remember the details of most of those uni parties these days.”
(Twenty years ago, Henry met—and let go of—his soulmate. Now he's in his 40s, with a new job in a new city, and certainly not expecting said soulmate to come barreling into his life again. A small white lie seems like the simplest way to keep things from getting awkward, but real life has a way of getting complicated.)

Summary
Snippets of Joe's perspective during Wolfsong.
Featuring Carter and Kelly being amazing brothers (and also assholes), Joe being a hot mess for seven years (while Ox is just hot), ALL the angst, a surprising amount of Frankie, an unsurprising amount of masturbation and also a happy ending.
