Summary
“Hey,” Natasha said, as she joined Steve on the couch. “What are you all dressed up for?”
Steve glanced down at himself, his face immediately flushing, even as he shook his head in denial.
“I’m not dressed up.”
“Yeah, you are.” She paused a beat, frowning thoughtfully before adding, “And you’re wearing cologne, new cologne.”
“This is my regular cologne, and these are my regular clothes,” he insisted, chin jutting out stubbornly, but Natasha just laughed.
“Sure, except that’s new cologne, and those are definitely new clothes,” she replied, evenly. “And I really only mentioned it in the first place to make conversation, because campus is dead and I’m bored, but since you seem hell bent on lying about it—
“I’m not lying.”
“— now I’m really curious. So, what’s the occasion, Rogers?”
Or: Steve has loved Sam for a long time. Now maybe he’s finally ready to do something about it.

Summary
Sometime during the night, their positions shifted. Clive faces Cid now, the other man snoring softly, breath sleep-sour and padding under his nose. In fact, it’s impossible to not look at Cid, because the man has somehow ended up half atop him, with Clive’s thigh wedged between his legs. If he moves even the slightest bit, the man will surely jolt awake.
And of course, Clive’s hard, because he fell asleep next to Cidolfus Telamon and the man is so achingly, incredibly handsome that Clive sometimes wants to crawl out of his own skin with want.
**
Or, Clive's aether is a bit off, and it takes an orgasm to figure out how to fix it.

Clive’s expression is softer than Cid’s ever seen, yet retains that deeply glimmering pain in the blue depths. “I’d like to see this, how did you put it… decoration for long service and exemplary misconduct.”
**
Or, five times Cid suspects how he feels for Clive, and one time he says it aloud.

Wait… is Cid trying to imply that they’re sharing the blanket?
“I’m fine,” he says.
Cid snorts. “We can argue all night and not sleep, or you can be a good lad—”
Clive does not, does not, go red at that.
“—and get under the blanket so we can both have a bit of warmth and decent rest, so that we’re nice and ready for our big day on the morrow.”

Spoilers in Summary
Cid bites the inside of Clive’s thigh, hard over muscle, but softens to draw wet lips over it in a kiss just as the sting registers. Pleasure-pain throbs through Clive as he shivers under the ministrations—and as Cid’s sole finger continues to lazily explore.
“What do you want,” says Cid with that indomitable patience of his, “after we destroy the mothercrystal?”

Or, the night before Drake's Breath, Cid and Clive end up in bed together and make a promise.

It was an irrevocable fact. Something as true as the explosive miracles he could make, the oxygen he breathed in and carbon dioxide he breathed out, and the basic colors—
The sky was blue. Darkness was black. And Bakugō Katsuki’s eyes had always been red, just as Midoriya Izuku’s eyes had been green.

Just recently discovered MHA and was lucky enough to have someone to guide me to the good stuff! This is amazing, insightful, and calls back to my favorite episode of The Magicians before they did everyone super dirty. It made me giggle, it had me dabbing at my eyes, just a perfect balance. GO READ IT!!

Summary
Clive has come into an inheritance from his late Grandfather— an old homestead in a backwoods small town on the Oregon Coast. Ready for a change, he uproots his whole life and moves, ready for some peace and quiet.
His life takes and even sharper turn when he meets mysterious and reclusive Cid, a man even the long time residents don’t know anything about, who appears in the fall and disappears in the spring.
And who has a secret as deep as the ocean.

Summary
When Izuku asks Katsuki to spar in order to get out of a date with a girl he's not interested in, he doesn't expect Katsuki to say yes.
And he sure as hell doesn't expect to pop a very noticeable boner when he pins Katsuki beneath him.
*******
Kacchan stares up at him with perplexed, wide eyes. Izuku can feel his features harden as electricity simmers across his body, blue and red and pulsing. Kacchan looks so good beneath him like this, stunned into frozen silence with Izuku’s hand pressed against his chest. The world fades around him; the surge of power consumes him. It’s heady. Intoxicating. Earth-shattering.
...it’s giving him a boner.
One for All settles itself as the realization slams into Izuku like he went skydiving without a parachute. With Izuku’s quirk deactivated, Kacchan pushes Izuku’s hand away from his chest. Kacchan scrambles to his feet, but not before his hip rubs against the…
The boner.
Oh, god.

A Night With His Lord Commander by SapphicPandaBear for sushiornotsushi
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XVI
18 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
“Clear your schedule for two weeks, beginning nine days from now.”
Clive straightens his spine and prays his cock remains mostly flaccid for just a bit longer. “Yes, sir.”
Just when he begins to turn, Murdoch says, “Young lord.” It’s a command, not a request. Clive’s head snaps to look at him—and his heart pounds funnily at the strange quirk of a smile on the older man’s lips. “It will be a pleasure to travel with you, I’m sure.”
Stammering a vague agreement, Clive takes his leave. And then takes a cold, cold bath, his skin so hot that the water steams when he steps into it. If only he could bring that steam with him to hide the unfortunate erections the Lord Commander seems to be the frequent cause of.
**
Or, Clive has harbored a secret about his lust for Rodney Murdoch for years, and it all finally comes to a head.
Sequel to Another Night With His Shields.

Summary
A long rumbling groan left Clive’s body. A shiver seemed to roll from his toes to his shoulders and as he adjusted Cid clung on, drawing his arms tighter. His knees rose to cage Clive in but the man had no interest in escaping – he shifted to lay on one side, the water tickling his chin. His cheek lay flat against Cid’s chest.
“Can’t we stay put,” he complained. The pitch of his voice wasn’t quite a whine though it was close. “You’re comfortable.”
Spending a lifetime as Clive’s pillow would be paramount to godhood, in Cid’s eyes. Letting him take up a generous section of their bed was the closest Cid could offer him. “And I’m glad to hear it, lad, truly. But the day is getting on. Someone will come looking, in time.”
Clive’s eyes drifted back shut. “Let them look.”
