put down your lies (lay down next to mine) by bananuh

Summary
There’s a flash of silver on his left. His gut twists once at the knife and once more at the man who’s wielding it—Keith has always been notorious for his love of blades.
“You know how to hold a knife?” he asks, lips curled up in a half smirk.
“Yes—” Shiro swallows and clears his throat. “Yes, sir.”
The grin expands into a full smile, cheeks dimpled and eyes sharp. “Congratulations,” Keith taps the cold metal twice against his temple, “you’ve been promoted.”
Shiro slinks into an intricate web of lies and criminals, winding himself deeper and deeper around the supposed center of it all: the youngest heir to the Galran Mafia, Keith.

Summary
A story about a king with a crown too big for his head and a young soldier with secrets hidden under his tongue.
Shiro turns his head toward the source of the question. It’s a man, a young man– one Shiro does not immediately recognize, although the stranger certainly seems to recognize him. Perhaps it was the golden crown pressed into his top knot or the infamous burn across the bridge of his nose that gave it away.
The man presses his mouth shut with a muffled noise and quickly bows his head. Even in the dimly lit hallway, Shiro can spot a slight flush rise to his ears, and something like endearment surges within his chest.
“Pardon me, your highness,” he mutters, eyes still glued to the ground. Shiro is met with a sudden urge to reach out and touch a hand to his shoulder– to reel the stranger back in.

Summary
They stay embraced, chests pressed together until their breaths even out. Keith grips the back of Shiro’s collar, pulling at the fabric. Shiro’s hand rests warm against Keith’s neck, his fingers reaching up to sweep through the short hairs on his nape.
“You win,” Shiro whispers.
Keith pulls back with a breath of air. He moves to take a step but Shiro hooks a foot under his knee and pushes him down. Keith falls hard, Shiro’s metal hand pinning him to the ground.
“Tell the team I love them.”
or The Avengers Endgame AU that absolutely no one asked for.

when i’m blind in the dark (but you drown me in daylight) by FlowerCitti
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)

Summary
Waves of color permeate the air, that buzz in his head growing louder and he hisses in pain, leaning heavily against his cane. He feels rooted to the spot as something emerges from the spattering of colors, a flashing light that nearly blinds him. It grows and grows, shimmering like starbursts, sparking wildly. He squeezes his eyes shut and something splutters with a pop, fizzling almost violently in the air.
He opens his eyes and there is a man before him, falling to his knees with a shuttering gasp, hands gripped tight around the arm of a hammer. All Viktor can see is shaggy dark hair and tattered clothes before amber brown eyes are staring wildly up at him, bloodshot and wide—
And familiar. So, so familiar.
Viktor would know him anywhere, anywhere at all, just by those eyes.
(Or, a feral Jayce drops into the lap of a Viktor who has yet to invent Hextech.)

Summary
The commander’s attire declared I do not need to blend in. It symbolized an infallible, well-earned confidence, one which mirrored the unruffled assurance of Liyue Harbor: a shining beacon for the infected to target or marauders to plunder, and yet hardly shaken by the prospect.
Childe was overwhelmed by the sight.
The rumors regarding the Prime of the Adepti weren't lies; in fact, it could be said that they were an under exaggeration, because Childe had never met anyone that could stun his entire being into pure static quite so effectively. Pre-apocalypse or otherwise.
“Wow.”
Childe’s tongue was hindered by sedatives, sure, but that comment left his lips with embarrassing ease. Way before the Harbinger could recognize how his first impression with the faction superior, the individual who would most likely murder him, was less-than-inspiring.
The man known famously as Morax raised a stern brow at Childe's deferential mumbling before speaking directly to him, in that deep, sonorous, way-too-distracting kind of voice. "And you are?"
Smitten, the Harbinger thought hopelessly.

Your body told me in a dream it’s never been afraid of anything by hemiola
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
Childe knows that something isn't right, really. Zhongli deals in half-truths like a currency and smiles as sharp as a blade in the back. But he also looks Childe in the eye, and maybe he would let Childe press him down into the grass, and let himself be kissed and be killed.
It’s hard to define, but it’s a little like this: Zhongli’s blade in his back or Zhongli’s mouth on his cheek would be acts of violence equally pleasant to bear.
(1.1 rewrite, canon divergent.)

Summary
Abruptly, Zhongli feels displaced, eating a dish he created, but cannot recognise, like someone had dropped him in a Liyue that he hadn’t spent the last thousand years safeguarding. Zhongli spends the rest of his meal ruminating on that piece of Jueyun chili: that very sharp, very cutting pain descended from a genome that is already extinct.
“And is that not enough?” Childe asks. “Isn’t it enough to just do what you can?”
