    Summary

    Cale’s near complete inability to properly take care of himself was a well known thing to those both in and outside of his close circle of friends.

    Overworking himself to the point where he coughs up heaps of heaps of blood and insisting he’s “completely fine” (despite being faint and on the verge of collapsing) was quite normal too.

    What most don’t know however, is that his hyung, the Crown Prince of the Roan Kingdom, one Alver Crossman, was about 10 times worse about self-care than his dongsaeng.

    Which led him up to his current situation.

    “Your highness, the shining sun of the Roan Kingdom, oh how bleak my day was before being blessed by your brilliant radiance.” Cale began, scammer smile already in place. He held it for a moment longer before promptly dropping it.

    “You know,” Cale continued, munching on a cookie he had somehow raided from Alver’s cookie jar without him seeing. “For all that you berate me about not taking care of myself, you seem to lack the ability to take your own advice. It seems that you don’t even have the energy to reply back to me this time.”

    Summary

    Cale might be good at planning, and even better at looking after his allies, but anyone who know the man knew that he was the most awful person at taking care of himself.

    So if the self assigned task of sorting through his suitors came down to Eruhaben, then so be it.

    Summary

    It's obvious Alver is seriously swamped with work if he's trying to enlist Cale for help. Even more so since Cale agreed. He's stressed and he's tired and he could really use a break, and Cale is getting a bit concerned. There has to be something to help relieve some tension. After running through a few ideas, Cale arrives at a very common, simple way of stress relief.

    Summary

    First Princess Aurelia Crossman is many things: smart, capable, politically savvy, and, least noticeably, not a princess. Alberu can thank the Queen for needing to hide his birth name and gender to stay alive, but at least this way he can maneuver for the throne in secret. Even if he’s having a hell of a time trying to get to it.

    The first son of the Henituse Family, Cale Henituse, is also many things: irreverent, lazy, chaotic, and, least noticeably, not an idiot. It’s not like he wanted the Henituse territory management job to begin with, and Heir Basen is way better at numbers than he is. Even if sometimes he might want someone to see him for who he is, and not for the reputation he’s sacrificed for his family.

    Even if that’s an infuriating princess he’s stuck in contract betrothal with.

    (Arranged marriage political AU.)

    Summary

    To devour, and be devoured, he thinks, as he slips the key into the lock. To devour and be devoured, he muses, as he helps unclasp Laios’ cloak with hands far steadier than his nerves; this close, he catches the vague scent of candle flame, the iron tang of wet ink - the fresh, crisp smell of a new book. To devour, he thinks - as he catches Laios’ gaze, tracking his movements, before the other averts his eyes - as if he as been caught, cheeks a pale shade of pink; and be devoured, he thinks - as Laios sits on the edge of his bed; thinks how easy it would be, simply to step forward, to tilt his chin up and kiss him, what might happen if his feelings were reciprocated -

    - arousal lances through him; white-hot, fist-clenching - his stomach lurches.

    “No,” he says, instead - keeps a respectful arm’s length apart, as he watches Laios tug off his boots, his eyes tracking the flex of muscle under his tunic sleeves, the careful concentration in his eyes, as he works to unlace the tops. “No, I think I understand what you mean, when you say that.”

    Or: the adventures of Kabru, master overthinker.

    Summary

    Kabru makes the strangest face (and Kabru makes so many strange faces to things Laios says these days), before saying, “Not—well. Maybe a little bit. Not that I—just be careful of anyone who propositions you at the wedding, okay? They might want you just for your crown, not for you.”

    “Why don’t they just say that, then,” Laios can’t help but mutter sulkily.

    Kabru rolls his eyes. “Because that’s not how politics works.”

    Laios sighs. “I really hate politics…”

    “I know, that’s what you have me for,” Kabru replies, a small smile on his lips.

    Or in the midst of helping plan his sister's wedding, Laios realizes that his feelings towards Kabru might be more complicated than he had thought.

    Summary

    When he closes his eyes, he sees a portrait. The one of Laios, sat on his throne, dressed in his finery. Sometimes it feels like it’s painted inside his eyelids or framed somewhere on the back of his skull. It’s an image Kabru has always liked, ever since the day it got hung up. The king’s likeness captured near perfectly, with all his nervous edges buffed out. He looks like he belongs there.
    Kabru hopes that when Laios is long gone, that is how he is remembered.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "He looks down at Laios; his eyes closed and his cheeks flushed with the heat. There is something about the lightness of his hair - his eyebrows, his eyelashes - and the way his freckles dust his cheeks that makes Kabru feel violent. He stares at the long, pale plinth of his neck. He thinks he might have to leave lest he try to snap it. It’d be so easy - so much of it exposed with his head tilted back.
    [...]
    Kabru doesn’t feel this way about anyone else. He never has, he doesn’t think he ever will. It’s a sickness he just can’t shake. Being near Laios is like running a fever; his brain feels muddled and his skin feels hot. It’s maddening. He wants to hurt him, to break him. What he doesn’t understand is why, he has no ill feelings toward the man."

    --- aka one man's slow discovery that he has cute aggression toward his king 🤣

    Summary

    Laios wrinkles his nose. “I just don’t really get romance plotlines. Monster smut though—I mean, if I extrapolate monster reproductive habits, I’m not claiming that I’ll get it 100% right, but I’m pretty sure I can get it way more right than any of those other novels—”

    “What does Kabru think of this?” Marcille asks desperately.

    Laios twiddles his fingers and readjusts his phone on the table. “Uh. Well. I emailed it to him yesterday. It’s a bit different from what I usually write, so I’m sure that’s why it’s taking him longer than usual to beta it.”

    Laios never meant to develop a reputation as a monsterfucker novel writer, but it had just sort of ended up happening, and his editor Kabru is dragged along for the ride.

    Summary

    “Steve’s been hit with a curse,” Natasha said. She said it calmly, so Bucky didn’t immediately go flying out of the apartment to tear apart the Tower in search of Steve. Then again, Natasha would probably be calm if New York City spontaneously burst into flames. He lowered the coffee pot and squinted at her.

    “Of course he has,” he said. He felt, abruptly, exhausted. “What is it?”

    “The witch kept ranting about sexual repression and archaic moral principles,” she continued blithely.

    “It’s not like you to prevaricate, Romanov.”

    Natasha pressed her lips together. For a moment, Bucky thought she might start laughing. “It might be easier just to show you.”

    OR: Steve’s been hit with a rather telling curse.

    He’s still hugging himself hard. Slowly, Roxanne reaches over, and rests a hand on the back of his shoulder. Megamind twitches but doesn’t pull away, so she slides her palm up until she can push her fingers in under his and net them with his much longer ones. Pushing up under his hand.
    She had already sort of expected this downswing. And it's certainly okay if Megamind needs to be low…but…
    Gently, she says, "Barnacles are crustaceans."
    She sees him frown, and then he lifts his head a little and turns and squints at her. "Excuse me?"
    "They’re not molluscs," she insists, earnest, still very gentle. "They’re crustaceans. Arthropods."
    His expression pulls into what Roxanne can only describe as ‘fascinated horror.’
    "No," he says, "that’s fake. You’re lying."
    --
    The one where MM was tortured and Roxanne won't stand for it. Also they are on one very long, very perfect, date for like basically the entire fic, and oh my god, when will it be my turn 😭

    Summary

    The problem, Bucky thinks now that he has most of his memories back, is that his whole entire world has always revolved around Steve Rogers. Steve has been always been half of Bucky’s identity. Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers’ best friend. Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers’ wingman. Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers’ teammate. And now, well, now Steve had other people to fill those positions. And of course, of course he’d always been a little bit in love with Steve. So when he overhears Steve telling Natasha that he’s finally found someone he’d like to date, someone with similar life experience, Bucky clings blindly to the hope that maybe, just maybe, Steve is talking about him.

    Summary

    “I watched a documentary on the bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima a while ago. In the blast radius, sometimes a… a person blocked the bleaching effect of the radiation. So the person was vaporized, but a shadow was left behind, on a bridge or a wall – their shape, their outline, when they were completely gone," Steve said. "It’s called a nuclear shadow.”

    “If you’re implying the Soldier is like a nuclear shadow, then that is seriously fucking dark, man,” Sam said dryly.

    OR

    Before the fall of the Soviet Union, the Winter Soldier was sent to the American arm of Hydra - only there was a malfunction in the cryo-unit that meant it couldn't be opened, and it was left, powered but abandoned, in an underground base.

    25 years later, the Avengers find it.
