    Summary

    " Guillermo met his eyes across the courtyard, and for a moment the human was grave and resolute as a warrior in battle, resigned to his fate yet defiant to its circumstances. For a moment Nandor imagined this meeting as the start of a war rather than a courtship, and for that moment he felt as if he'd found his footing again.

    But then the human had done something outrageous.

    Then the human had smiled. "

    In the end, when all was said and done, the marriage of Nandor the Relentless and Guillermo de la Cruz would be remembered as a pivotal and defining moment in the history of human and vampiric society alike.

    In the beginning, however, it was mostly just a mess.

    Summary

    Caleb Widogast does not belong here.

    The world of sharp suits, board meetings, and billion dollar budgets is a far cry from Caleb’s preferred domain: the research lab. Where nobody cares about his faded T-shirts and raggedy jeans. But a year of industry experience will look good on his CV, and the hefty pay bump wouldn’t hurt either. How hard could a secretary gig be?

    What he finds behind the glittering edifice of Auriga, Wildemount’s leading name in arcane technology, is CEO Essek Thelyss, who maintains his domain with an acid tongue and an iron fist. It’s difficult not to find him intriguing, this handsome, guarded, brilliant man. It’s even more difficult not to want to please him.

    Caleb knows to keep it professional, though. Working late nights together at the office and lingering glances here and there don’t cross the boundaries of propriety.

    That is, until they do.

    Or: the one where Essek Thelyss loses focus and has a consensual workplace relationship.

    Updates weekly on Mondays.

    Summary

    Aziraphale liked all sorts of men, really, just as he liked all sorts of food or people, but it was just another tier in his hierarchy of preferences. He liked soft, quiet, bookish men like himself. He liked the loud, flamboyant men who tottered out of gay bars in heels and glitter. He liked the rough hands and furred chests and the musky sweat of men that worked in the sun all day. He had his favorites, though, because of course he did.

    What Aziraphale liked most was men in suits.

    He spoke to them in a language they understood, a language they trusted. With money and contracts. It was, as the kids might call it, a “side-hustle”, though Aziraphale would never call it that. It was just a hobby, one that he was careful not to indulge in too often. Temperance is a virtue, after all.

    ---

    In which Aziraphale is a bit of a bastard who knows what he likes, is good at what he does, and offers his services to those who've got enough money to be worth his time.

    And Crowley? Well, he's just trying to figure things out as he goes.

    (Each chapter will have an individual CW at the beginning in case there's anything in particular you want to avoid)

    Summary

    Caleb Widogast is figuring his life out. He has friends now, a job he cares about, and can even – on a good day – have fifteen Bunsen burners turned on in his classroom, and not get pulled into the flames. What he does not have, is any experience training other teachers.

    Essek Thelyss is a prodigy, one of the Marble Tomes' foremost researchers, and the son of one of the Dynasty's most influential families—he is certainly not a teacher of children. And yet, somehow, he has ended up at a school on the other side of the border, with a list of publications as tall as he is and no classroom experience.
    All he knows when he arrives is information gleaned from the school's website, and the name of the person who will be training him—Caleb Widogast.

    Or: a Mighty Nein and/or Shadowgast Teaching AU.
