r/relationships: Boss’s nemesis keeps helping me out, and it’s making things awkward by graveExcitement for Elsin
Fandoms: Original Work
11 Nov 2021

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.

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.

Summary
General Dorrand is fifty-two years old and the best swordsman in Talis. He's severe, austere, devout, and the king's most trusted advisor.
Reylen of Lorand, son of the Duke of Lorand, is a spendthrift thirty-something with a taste for wine and casual sex. But he's also not exactly what he seems to be.
When Dorrand finds Reylen standing over a dead man with a dagger in his hand, the obvious explanation both is and isn't the right one.

Summary
“The alpha set the mug down in front of Max, and took his own bowl when Isaac offered it. Max stared at the steaming mug a moment too long—it was blue with white speckles, a chip in the handle—before he forced his eyes back down to his folded hands. As tests went, this one was obvious.“
A continuation of “Seeking Shelter” by sphagnum, opening from Max’s first morning with the pack, because be the sequel you want to see in the world.

Summary
“Fuck,” Kojiro mutters, feeling along the wall and trying door handles until he finds one that works. “Hurry. In here.”
He pushes Kaoru through the door first and pulls it shut behind him, expecting a room. Instead, he runs right into Kaoru. The faint purple glow coming off Carla lights up the storage closet that they’ve found themselves in. It’s empty, but it’s cramped. Kojiro is pressed up against Kaoru, chest to chest.
“Shit.”
A police patrol at S leads to Kojiro and Kaoru confronting things that they've been tiptoeing around for months.

There was a rumor that Dutch van der Linde sold his soul at a crossroad in exchange for the shapechanging beasts that followed at his beck and call. Frankly, Arthur didn’t buy it. He followed Dutch and Hosea because they fed him. Some deal with a devil had nothing to do with it.

Summary
Cyno sighs. "It could be some time until Gandharva Ville is once again suitable for human habitation," he says. "Even once the Ley Lines are repaired, it will take time for the energies at the site to disperse."
"I have a Vision," Collei says. "I can help."
Cyno shakes his head. "High concentrations of unguided energies are known to be particularly harmful to post-Eleazar individuals. The protection that your Vision offers would be more than canceled out."
Collei folds her hands in her lap. "It's my home."
"I know," Cyno says.
After Gandharva Ville is attacked, Collei must spend a few weeks living in Alhaitham's house in Sumeru City. It's not what she's used to, but sometimes that's what someone needs to grow.

Summary
“It’s like our trapping championship,” Chigiri reminisces with a laugh. “Whatever gets thrown at you, you can handle it. And I’m here to help you.”
“So romance and soccer are the same, but also aren’t,” Nagi concludes. “No kissing and no proposing… no complaining… but copying and trapping is okay…”
Chigiri stifles another laugh. “You got it, genius.”
“We got this,” Nagi says, faintly smiling, and Chigiri grins back at him. Somehow, their situations don’t seem so hopeless anymore.
(Nagi and Chigiri team up to win over their love interests; none of it goes according to plan.)

Summary
Kunigami loved running along the beach at dawn.
Perhaps his favorite part was the feeling of newness that came with each sunrise, the sense of something magical glittering on the ocean’s surface.
And now, more and more frequently, was the occasional splash of something large always just out of the corner of his eye. Too big for a fish, he thought, but not big enough for a whale. Typical of beaches, there were always rumors of sharks or dolphins but Kunigami ran every morning and had never seen either one.
Then one day, he thought he finally caught a glimpse of a tail disappearing into the water.
Maybe it was a dolphin after all.
It wasn’t a dolphin.
Kunigami stared at the unconscious mermaid—er, merman, in his bathtub.
