    Summary

    “Ah. Here is a young man transfixed. Do you like Hunt, sir?"
    "Do I like him?" Phil tore his eyes from the painting before him and marvelled at the stranger at his elbow. Like him? One might as well ask do you like Michaelangelo? Do you like Homer? Do you like the Alps?
     
    An art enthusiast with a talent for meteorology meets (arguably) the Finest Painter in England. But impressing your idol can be damned hard work, especially when he's all pride and prejudice, and you're all sensibility and no sense. Heavy weather ahead...

    Summary

    My (23M) boss (28M) has a workplace nemesis (mid to late 20s?M) who is, in a lot of ways, an asshole. Like, my boss is definitely in the right on any conflict between them. Even when the asshole isn’t actively causing problems, he’s a constant nuisance and a thorn in my boss’ side. I’m loyal to my boss (let’s call him Jake), and I also have to help clean up the mess the asshole (we’ll call him Sebastian) leaves in his wake. So, obviously, Sebastian is pretty high on my shit list.

    The only issue is that Sebastian keeps… helping me?

    Summary

    Vale, youngest Fae Prince of the Night Court, has been captured and taken prisoner by the King of the Summer Court. Both Courts have been at war with each other since the very beginning of their people's history and there is no doubt in Vale's mind that he is about to be publicly executed as punishment for past transgressions.

    But it doesn't happen. Instead, he finds himself as a War Prize to the King himself, the King who seems to covet Vale to the point of obsession.

    To be put on his knees at his new Master's pleasure, forever.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    mmmm i love "why are you doing this to me" x "i've had my eye on you for years and i want to keep you safe by me (for whatever twisted reasons there are. but there IS also genuine affection)" i love how this played out and i can imagine vale slowly but surely coming around and genuinely liking farren. OH OH possessiveness/dressing in someone's colors is also a trope that gets me every time i eat that up. i also love when someone (vale) has an enormously different idea of what's happening than literally everyone else around him. like vale thinks farren is trying to humiliate him and only thinks of him as a war prize (which is an entirely understandable thought), meanwhile the dude's been obsessed since day one, puts him in ROYAL COLORS immediately, with his personal mark on his forehead, like okay man the whole court's thinking something and it's not that the king has won himself a lovely war prize. well, it's not the ONLY thing they're thinking.

    Summary

    "Now. Must I remediate basic survival instincts, as well? Stand up or get shot."

    Aventurine doesn't understand half of those words, but it doesn't matter. The gun speaks clearly enough.

    Kakavasha's riskiest gamble pays off, and he is hired by the Interastral Peace Corporation as Aventurine. A second chance at life, if he can survive it.

    Without a Synesthesia Beacon, every conversation is a puzzle, a bluff. The new Stoneheart has learned to fake fluency in the IPC's language, Universalis, the same way he learned everything else: through observation and context, by slipping through the cracks with charm and deception.

    That is, until Dr. Ratio cares enough to scrutinize him, and refuses to look away.
