Summary
Tim has more people than he’s ever had in his life. He can’t be lonely.
And yet.
He thinks maybe there’s a difference, between having people you can talk to and having someone you don’t have to talk to. Someone who knows how to interpret your wordless noises in the dark.

"After learning more about your character and knowing your father, I will confidently say this—that in the many storms that faced your father throughout your lives, you were his oak tree, hollow or empty you may have been, you graced him with a gentle compassion that very well saved his life during those dark years.

Summary
“Wait!” Elain clambered to her feet, jumping off the bed. He looked at her expectedly, dagger in one hand and a handful of hair in the other. What was there to say? That she had always secretly adored his hair just the way it was? That he couldn’t possibly cut it before she even had the chance to run her fingers through it? “Let me do it,” she said.
While on the run in the Continent, Elain and Lucien must discuss what has remained unspoken after a frightening incident.

Bookmarker's Notes
A nervous servant brings her to Lucien’s room, explaining that he is in the mortal lands. She drops the books and maps on his desk as she walks around the room, the reminder of his very essence entangling in all of her senses, leaving her disoriented. She trailed a hand up the soft sheets of his bed, then against the spines of his books stacked song the shelves that lined nearly every wall, until it led her back to the desk.
Curiosity, hungrier and more contentious than ever before, pooled in her stomach. Was it wrong to look? He was her mate after all.

Bookmarker's Notes
“The past determines the future,” Elain reached up to run her hand along the exposed walls of earth. “The roots move and the worms wriggle, but still they remain. Even when it has been cut down.”
He stares at her, trying to understand her riddles. And if there was anything that disturbed Eris, it was not understanding. She slips through his fingers when Beron had taught him control was squeezing his fist until the bones were crushed.

california blue by timeloops (kunimi) for lelex
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
05 Dec 2023

Summary
Los Angeles is loud and unfamiliar, but California as a whole is completely unfathomable. Blue and bright, stretching out as far as the eye can see. It’s the kind of bright where it hurts to look at directly, but it’s everywhere. Even when you close your eyes, you can feel it. Sunlight on your skin.
That’s kind of what life with the Trojans is like: a little too much to withstand, but you learn to cope.
Jean Moreau gets used to life with the Trojans. Mostly, he gets used to Jeremy Knox, even if he can’t decide which is worse: Jeremy’s terrible smile or Jeremy’s terrible hoodie colour or Jeremy’s terrible habit of burrowing right down beneath his skin, despite Jean’s best efforts.

Bookmarker's Notes
The sleeves are a little short on Jean, but they’re loose in a way that makes his cheeks feel warm. He’s never been the type to lose his head over what someone looks like, but the sudden flash of a thought about the size of Jeremy’s arms makes him want to run all the way to Venice Beach and bury his head in the sand. It’s about a two hour run, he thinks. Maybe by the time he does it, his lungs will have remembered to behave themselves.
It smells like Jeremy. He feels completely fucking insane thinking about it, so he tries not to. If his time in the Nest was good for anything, it was teaching him how to compartmentalise and shunt aside thoughts and experiences.
Jeremy Knox seems determined to strip that skill back, but Jean still has enough of a hold on the Raven he once was to force his body to do what it’s told.

He shrugs and picks his wine glass back up off the table. "You should finish what you were saying about the tax code. In case I want to talk about it with your friends."
Christ, Declan thinks, I cannot take him to that fucking show, because he can't take this sudden absurd fondness anywhere, someone will see it.

It goes on like that until Jean finally escapes to fetch the lunch that Kevin ordered for them. When he gets back, plastic bags dangling from each arm, he draws up short in the doorway.
Kevin is sitting with his phone on speaker, his notes spread all across the coffee table and Josten’s voice chattering away about the Foxes’ game tonight. Kevin doesn’t look up when Jean comes in, just chimes in with some insight about the play Josten’s talking about.
The prints are hung on Jean’s wall.

“Too much?” she asks, trying for calm and achieving breathy.
Jean nips her neck before pushing himself up. “Don’t pinch,” he says, pulling out to the tip. He fucks in hard, finding the spot that makes Renee’s mouth fall open, her eyes flutter shut. “It feels… interesting. In moderation.”
“Of course,” Renee agrees, and she pets his cock with her nail. Relishes in the way his breath stutters against her neck. “All things in moderation.”
Jean and Renee fuck. It's a good time.

Summary
Jean Moreau, despite himself, still wants things. He wants to leave: he needs to drag his broken body back down to its place. He was unconscious when they took him from the Nest, but he knows that won’t spare him the punishment, and the sooner he gets it over with the sooner he gets back on the court. This is a mountain Jean knows how to climb. It’s a tall peak, and he needs to get started. He needs to prove his value, needs to prove his loyalty. This next year is going to be brutal.
Jeremy Knox likes to win, and even if he can't parallel park in less than fifteen attempts he's finally got his meds figured out and he's got friends who care enough to make him clean his room. And thanks to Kevin, the Trojans are about to poach the best backliner in the league, so he's finally got it all figured out. This next year is going to be awesome.
Kevin is going to be watching this through his fingers.

Bookmarker's Notes
Now, he stares at the ceiling in the dark, and he thinks about organized crime. Dismantling it, in particular. He thinks about the shape of Jean Moreau’s mouth when he says the words I need, the taut desperation in his eyes, and Jeremy comes to this place again: this is not going to fucking work for me.
It’s intolerable. Jean’s hands, crooked fingers curling into fists. The little scornful tch he makes under his breath when he’s annoyed. Those gray eyes, luminous, always watching even when Jean can’t look him in the eye. Always waiting for Jeremy to become the next monster.
Jeremy’s not going to fucking tolerate this.

“Tell me about the temples,” Zuko murmurs into his neck, wetly. They have five minutes. Aang rubs behind his ears, his back, so much stronger than him. “About Gyatso and the air nomads.”

His anger fades into nervousness, and he’s tired, so so tired.
“What if I’m not. What if he’s doesn’t - want me?”
Katara pulls him close. “He’ll want you. Aang, trust me. He’ll want you so bad.”

Up the mossy mountain steps, past the komainu guardians and the faded red gate, and beyond the boundaries of the green shrine—that’s where the forest and the spirit world within it lies. That’s were Hajime met him, and where their story began.
But intertwining of destinies can be ugly business, Hajime finds, when their first meeting begins with blood and the too-human eyes of a beast.

Summary
Tooru stretched his legs out in front of him, as if Iwaizumi was sitting across from him, close enough to jab at with his foot--as if Iwaizumi was there, even though he wasn’t. “Have you ever said anything nice about me in your life?”
“If I did, I didn’t mean it. Look,” Iwazumi started again, then paused. Tooru waited. Iwaizumi went perfectly still when he was deciding something important--the half second when his arms drew back for a jump, the half second when Tooru’s set hung, dead-on, in the palm of his hand. “I’ve watched you play. It’s one of the best things in the world. The only thing better is standing there on the court next to you."
Oikawa keeps playing. Iwaizumi doesn’t. Ushijima does.

Bookmarker's Notes
Iwaizumi had been smiling, but Tooru could pick apart the frayed threads of emotion underneath it: the same ones from the end of their last game with Karasuno, when Tooru had taken one look at Iwaizumi’s hands twisting into fists, and all his self-loathing had been eclipsed in an instant–-how could anyone , how could anything convince Iwaizumi that he didn’t deserve everything he’d ever wanted, everything he’d ever dreamed–-
“You’re the only person in the world I could have trusted with that set,” Tooru had ground out, and fuck , the words were so far from what he had wanted them to be even now– “I wouldn’t have made the toss to anyone else.”

“This,” he says, ghosting his fingers along Iwaizumi’s jaw. He likes the smooth curve of it, the shape of his chin, the arch of his brow, the slope of his forehead. He likes smoothing Iwaizumi’s eyebrows, brushing his thumbs across Iwaizumi’s eyelids, so he does it. Slow and careful until Iwaizumi’s shoulders are sagging and he’s leaning heavy to one side.
*
It’s definitely weird, but there’s nothing like the feeling of Iwaizumi’s breath against his cheek, of his own nose pressed into the soft give of Iwaizumi’s cheek.
""S my favorite." Iwaizumi sounds half-asleep. “You’re my favorite.”
