Summary
Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.
He chose the worst one.
“I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”
The man went completely still.
Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.
“For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”
-:-:-
Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

Summary
Everyone has their thing that they do to keep the darkness at bay. Some people have houseplants, some people fall into marriages that they shouldn't, and some people ingest every substance they can get their hands on. Jean wears women's clothing, sometimes, and that is no one's business besides his own.
So when Lieutenant Kitsuragi does a wellness check on him because he hasn't shown up to work in a while and has a well-known history of playing chicken with a loaded gun, he is surprised at what he finds.

Summary
Set during a single night in maybe ‘53 or ‘54. Jean’s not doing good. Harry got injured wrapping up a case, just a concussion, but it’s an overnight stay at the lazareth. Jean’s doing bad. He asks Kim for a favor, expecting a firm no and lots of negative social and professional consequences, hoping for a no and violence.
“Jean, I’m not going to shoot you.”
“What, Harry teach you to read minds too?”
“Nobody can read minds. You’ve been staring.”
“Maybe I’m checking you out. Why are you still armed?”
“You’re not checking me out. You know why I’m still armed.”
“Because you’re a faggot and I’m your suicidal straight coworker who asked you to fuck me, and you don’t think I want you to fuck me, you think I want you to fucking shoot me. Which you’d have to because you can’t take me in a fight.”
“Yes, very good. I like when we’re on the same page.”Bookmarked by gloomygenesis

Summary
He sneers at you so hard he actually growls, and that fire is back in his eyes as he snatches up your hand. You expect him to crush your fingers in his grip, but he surprises you by folding his hand around yours and bringing it up to his lips. He's obviously flushed as he does it, but the damage it does to you is so much worse. You should have known better than to pick a fight with him you weren't prepared to lose. His vengeance is infinitely stronger than his shame, and the more you push him, the more stubborn he's going to get.

This is a spiritual sequel to my first fanwork, Just Vibin', but this can be read as a stand alone piece. Fill for the Homestuck Kink Meme.
As much as Bro loves his long time dom (and husband), sometimes the itch comes along to service a few more. Luckily, the local swinger's club is more than happy to oblige.

“Why didn’t you ask for presentation? On the application for the apartment.”
He gives you a squinty, side-eyed look, like he’s trying to figure out whether you’ve asked him a trick question or not. “Becaaaauuuuse it’s none of my business?”
***
Dirk is a puzzle box of repressed emotion and touch-aversion, and he's got a huge secret that makes romance impossible. John, however, doesn't care much for rules. Or personal boundaries.
