Summary
"Unfortunately, our progress has stalled out somewhat," Ikithon says, slowly circling the beacon on its stand. Under any other circumstances, that would be the thing that drew Essek's eye.
Instead, his gaze is fixed on the man sitting in a chair at the circle's center. A picture of misery, he is bound hand and foot to the chair with thick iron cuffs. His face is mottled with bruising, his rust colored hair hangs in limp, tangled clumps, and his clothes are torn and burnt. Wide, frightened eyes the color of daylight sky whip frantically back and forth between them.
Essek knows that face. He knows it all too well. Not two months ago, that face kissed him on the forehead and told him that he was still capable of good.
The bottom drops out of Essek's stomach. Please not him.
--------
After the peace talks at sea, Ikithon approaches Essek with an offer he can't refuse... But dearly wishes he could.

Summary
'"It’s not a bad job for a person who likes to think. Each day presents new challenges. Each client is a new puzzle to solve," said Caleb
“Do you intend to solve me?”
The man fixed him with a look of such sharp intelligence that Essek was skewered by it.
“I’d like to.”
Essek felt his cheeks darken and his breath catch. He had come into this with no expectations of anything beyond putting up with things until he could make his excuses and then never letting Verin talk him into anything ever again. Now though, he had to know. This man was a fascinating enigma, his own little puzzle.
“Show me.”'
...
Essek gets talked into a night out with Verin and his soldier friends. Little did he know they were going to a brothel.- Language:

Summary
Shadowhand Essek of den Thelyss has been stripped of both title and den in all but name, but Light forbid he forget his manners. Even if his betrothed is, apparently, a woman with enough skin left bare to make him lower his gaze out of respect for her modesty.
[In which an arrangement between the Cobalt Soul and the Dynasty to foster peace between nations becomes a cover for exile, betrayal, and espionage, and perhaps even--at the end of it all--a real marriage.]

Summary
Midoriya shoves his hands into his face. “Okay,” he mumbles to himself, behind his hands. “Okay, okay, okay. You have to do this, Izuku. You have to do this now.”
He lowers his hands from his face, and points dramatically at Todoroki, his face blushing very brightly and very prettily.
“D-don’t you dare talk that way about the person I like!” Midoriya exclaims, and as he gets impossibly more red, he shoves his face back into his hands with a squeak.

second place (because you're always first to me) by k1ngpin

Summary
Being second was fine.
No, really. Kirishima didn't mind too much, he was used to it. He never really liked standing out. In middle school, he tried to be more outgoing, but there was nothing too special about dark black hair and a not-so-flashy hardening quirk. With the extensive amount of effort he put in, Kirishima even managed to place second during the U.A. entrance exam, and that was more than enough for him. Changing himself didn’t work either because even with red hair and a new persona, it wasn't like he suddenly became number one.
That spot belonged to Bakugou. Confident, brash, explosive. The boy who glowed so brightly to him. First at the entrance exam. First in the sports festival. First in everything.
Especially to Kirishima.

Summary
Essek has two thoughts, one after the other.
The first is that he is very much in love with this man. He has known for a while, but here, now, he lets himself feel it.
The second is that Caleb might be in love with him as well.

Yasha's back, and Beau is feeling a lot of things she didn't quite expect.
Or, the one where the sanctity of watch duty is violated.

Summary
"Hey," she says weakly. "Did we win?"
"They're all dead," Yasha assures her, still too distracted by the unnatural twist of Beau's right arm, the labored sound of her breathing. Yasha is no cleric—she may have managed to yank Beau back from the brink of death, but she can't fix her. She needs to get her back to people who can.
Good thing they're stranded alone in the middle of fucking nowhere. Nothing but trees and knotty, gnarled paths for miles in every direction. Yasha glares up at the grey-orange sky, like her anger alone can stop the sun from setting, the earth from turning, the girl she (
loveslikeswants) cares for from dying in her arms.Series

Summary
blooming blush rising on drunk cheeks, blooming blossoms, blooming bruises
-
Beau knew how to get wasted. She knew how to drink herself into a stupor, forget all the failures of today and wake up tomorrow with a wicked hangover and a fresh look on life. Those nobles, they know how to drink themselves miserable and hopeless and wake up dreading the future. It was a point of pride that Beau didn’t take after them in that sense – just in their taste of expensive alcohols.Bookmarked by enfoldingwings
