Summary
A request for "gentle first time between a priest and a demon" that spiraled completely out of control into a nearly 10k ramble
I just felt like that scenario required a lot of set up to feel believable!Reclusive Father Thomas lives a quiet life in a small church in remote Red Hill, alone but for the memories that haunt him, until the day a shadow appears in the garden. With simple honesty, he catches the shadow in a game of truth-telling, and an ancient force of nature is forced for the first time to contemplate its own existence.

Summary
You can’t deny the creature is real anymore.
You try to run, but he grabs your arm and pulls you back toward him. You struggle uselessly against his firm grip. He’s at least two feet taller than you, with an arsenal of deadly weapons—claws that could shred your skin, hooves that could trample you, teeth that could rip your throat open.
You stop struggling, your words tumbling out, high-pitched and frantic. “Please don’t kill me.”
He lets go of you but stays close. “I can’t kill the one I’m bound to.”
----
You accidentally release a trapped demon, and now he's bound to serve you. Neither of you are happy about it.

Summary
The alien seems massive from this angle as you look up at him from the floor, taking in the broad set of his shoulders, the gleam of emerald scales like finely crushed jewels, and the black claws he taps against his weapon. It’s not aimed at you, which is promising, but you’re still too scared to move.
He tilts his head down and eyes your smaller, more fragile body.
“Are you going to kill me?” you ask.
----
You're part of a crew on a deep space exploration ship traveling beyond the solar system. When the ship is attacked and crashes on a nearby planet, you find yourself stranded with an unexpected and intriguing creature.

Summary
Invisigal accidentally outs Robert as Mechaman in what she thinks is a private conversation with Blonde Blazer, not realizing that Flambae is close enough to overhear her.
Struggling to control his horrible temper, Chad goes to the gym to blow off steam and think…where he finds Robert trapped under the weights.
*
Breathe. Count to ten. You’re not a villain anymore…you’re a good man, and you can do good things.
“Ask me to stop,” Chad breathed, the muscles of his arms quivering under the powerful desire to end Mechaman right there in the headquarters. He needed something else, someone else to step in, but they were completely alone. Even the janitors had gone home. “No, beg me to stop.”

Summary
One of the main characters - the only surviving witness to a murder - has just woken from a coma. Not only is she entirely cognizant, but the first thing that the subtitles say she asks for is a lawyer.
“What are you fucking giggling about?”
The other person that’s been paying attention is Flambae. He’s right next to Robert on the couch, his arm slung over the top behind his head. One foot is propped up on the other knee, also pointing towards Robert, which has him caged in the corner by the arm rest. It’s probably some fucked-up power move. Robert has been ignoring it just to spite him.
“It’s just not how comas work,” Robert shrugs.
“Right, and you know because you’re a fucking doctor,” Flambae quips back.
“I know because I was in one, asshole.”
------
During a quiet night in, Robert realizes that his coma and injuries aren't common knowledge among Z-Team.
Most of them take the information in stride with jokes aplenty.
Flambae does not.

Summary
The thing about plastic chairs is that they weren't a great substitute for an actual bed; the other thing is, Robert can't exactly afford to be picky and even if he 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 the internal debate is still ongoing as to whether or not he deserves a mattress at this current point in his life.
So, the plastic chair stays and is staying for the foreseeable future. Besides, it's charming - in a depressing, minimalism-that-is-totally-not-a-reflection-of-his-inner-sense-of-worth way.
Or:The fic where Robert has chronic pain and Flambae has warm hands. The two of them will figure out what to do about that eventually, right?

Summary
To call Robert's new situation with Flambae ‘complicated’ would be a drastic understatement.
Robert cut his fucking fingers off. Flambae tried to burn him to death after a bar fight. They aren’t good for each other, barely even like each other, and there’s no way it’s going to end well.
But when the sex is this fucking good, Robert is having trouble listening to the logic.
Or, the one where they become fuckbuddies and catch feelings.
(Everyone pretend to be shocked.)

Summary
Atlas wants nothing, and she wants for nothing. She has what she needs: a roof over her head, money in the bank, food on her plate. She's no teacher, but she can pull her weight and keep out of the classroom. She wants nothing from anyone, expects nothing. Only peace and freedom, but who is she to fight a little crush? Playful banter and a shining, silvery smile. She wants for nothing, but maybe, just maybe, she feels safe to want a little bit more.

Summary
“Fine,” she said. “Do you know the statistically most common way for the authorities to take out organized crime?”
Well, if that was her idea of enticing conversation, it was no wonder she had all those evenings free to chase after scoundrels like him. Still, Astarion didn’t want to antagonize her further and ruin the game, so he pursed his lips and guessed, “A very large, well-placed cannon?”
“Tax fraud.”
She looked at him as if she expected some sort of reaction – maybe a dramatic gasp? A palm flung to his forehead in a theatrical rendition of How could I not think of this?
Everything he could muster was a blink. “Tax … fraud.”
She nodded, obviously excited about what Astarion was sure were two of the most boring words in the English language, combined.

Summary
“Oh, gods forbid they respond positively to you doing a good thing,” Neve deadpans. She squeezes him a little again. “That’s sort of how it works, Astarion.”
She can’t even see it. Believes the best of them all so earnestly, himself included, that she can’t see how it would all fall away without her at the center. It’s enough to make a person feel like they might actually deserve it.
“And by it, you mean…?” he asks instead.
Her huffed laugh of disbelief ruffles the hair at his neck. “Friendship, you idiot,” she answers. “And the general acquisition thereof.”
Astarion cuts a sideways look at her as best he can with her still nestled so close. “And is that what we are? Friends?”
He’d meant it to tease her, and yet finds that the silence before her answer twists his stomach. Because…he doesn’t actually know, either.
“Yes, Astarion,” Neve says gently, after a moment. “I think we’re very good friends.”
-
Neve and Astarion, continued. She's not a victim. Not a target. Not just one night it's better to forget. But then...whatever in the world could she be?

Summary
It's time for the annual Spring Ball in the Fields, and of course he's expected to attend, nevermind the fact that he's got about as much patience for fairy celebrations as he has for watching the slow descent of sap down the trunk of a tree. And at the heels of the broken royal engagement that's been the talk of the realm, it's bound to become a painful affair.
What Bog doesn't count on, however, is the jilted Princess herself, and that there's more to the Fairy King's court than song and dance.
A 'what if' fic about what could have happened if the two kingdoms weren't so at odds with one another, and where Bog happened to be present to witness the events of "C'mon, Marianne!"

Summary
Yarrow is a simple sanitation worker aboard a simple research vessel that's collaborating with the insect-like aliens known as the Host. He wants to do his job, keep his head down, and avoid talking to other humans as much as possible. The scientists aboard the ship are working to create a self-sufficient star-ship. The Hosts are reclusive, but Yarrow finds himself talking to them more and more as the project gets underway. Despite wanting to keep himself from making any meaningful connections on the job, he finds one of the Hosts to be both fascinating and entirely too familiar for an alien race that looks so different from his own.
There's more to this voyage than either of them expects. Someone here knows Yarrow, or who he used to be, threatening to undo all of the work he's put into starting over.
