    Summary

    "No," says Jessica. "No, I was only swimming."

    "This entire time?" The duke presses the back of his hand to her forehead. He is checking her temperature—checking for fever.

    Swallowing, Jessica raises her arm and points to her island, the size of a thumbnail in the distance. Out of the corner of her eye she sees the duke's men pause and follow her gesture.

    "Goddamn," says Gurney Halleck.

    Duke Leto laughs in disbelief, though there is no humor in his voice, only incredulity. "There—you swam all the way there? God! Why? You could have—there was no one here to—"

    Jessica stares at the duke for long moment. She considers the worry that lines his face, how absolutely frazzled he appears. She decides to tell him the truth.

    "Because I could," she says, earnestly. "Because I wanted to, more than anything." She does not say: I have not wanted before Caladan. I was not taught to want.

    ---
    Pre-Canon. Jessica loves the planet Caladan. She might also love its duke.

    Summary

    Impulse ruins lives. Isagi makes a simple mistake that leads him to accidentally accepting a contract with a mysterious System.

    The mission: to purge the world of demons that have made their homes in unsuspecting hearts–filling them with darkness and sucking their life. Should Isagi refuse, due to having accepted the contract, his soul would be immediately harvested.

    Isagi: Why me?

    System: Simple! Isagi-sama has the highest compatibility rating with the capture targ–AHEM–possessed victims.

    Isagi: …

     

    OR

     

    Accidentally formed a contract with a demon and now I'm forced to rid the world from demons by... creating a male harem?!?!?TM

    Summary

    "You don't seem in heat," he notes.

    Yuuji blinks. Heat? Oh. "I don't have a fever," he confirms, moving his face forward so that Gojo can touch his skin properly, no Infinity to stop him. His hand is big and cold and— is that cologne? He buries his cheek deeper into the man's palm and barely notices the way he stiffens, breath hitching like a poorly sealed air balloon.

    A curse sends Yuuji to an alternative omegaverse universe without him noticing. He remains unaware while everyone else suffers.

    Summary

    "The thing is, right," Wei Ying said, "this city is supposed to be great for queers, and it's senior year, and I've been out for the almost the entirety of the time I've been at college, and everyone knows me, and I've, like, gone on dates, even, and still, no-one's even kissed me. It's never happened! Not even once! Isn't that crazy? I think I'm very kissable, Lan Zhan!"

    She felt Lan Zhan's gaze get heavier.

    "You're a virgin," Lan Zhan said, her voice an octave deeper than usual.

    Summary

    "I don't want to talk about it." Tim said.

    "It?" Steph snapped, "The fact that he sleeps in your bed and cooks you breakfast and there's a second fucking toothbrush in your bathroom? That he only listens to you? That you're wearing his fucking shirt right now? That it?"

    "Yeah." Tim agreed. "That's the one."

    Summary

    The list of things in Night Vale worthy of study is long, and part of Carlos’ work in this strange desert community is deciding what takes precedence. With the impossible seismology, apparently psychotropic sandstorms, fake clocks, and whatever those deer are, there's just not enough time to cover everything.

    Also, call it an oversight, a budgetary limitation, or Carlos having seven degrees in natural sciences and none in social sciences, but studying the actual societal structure of Night Vale and its... peculiarities hasn't been a priority.

    Six months in Night Vale to the day, he's going to wish he'd taken the time.

     

    The AU in which A/B/O exists... but only in Night Vale. And after six months of residency, the scientists have just officially become citizens.

    Summary

    She crouched low, palms scraping against the bark of the large tree as she held herself up from collapsing. Her lungs burned, heavy with the weight of running. Her breath came shallow, gasping inhales, greedy for the dusky forest air. She reveled in the sting of the tree’s harsh skin against her own. It woke her up, reminded her to be aware. Be careful, be cautious, be quiet. Be fast.

    Or else he’d catch her.

    Summary

    Xie Lian finds Yin Yu at the small reflecting pond behind Paradise Manor.
    "Yin Yu," he says gently, sitting next to him.
    "Your Highness."
    "Could you tell me what San Lang was like, before he found me again? How did you two meet?"
    Yin Yu looks down into the pond, watching the ripples distort his face.
    "It's a long story," he says quietly, and begins.

    Or: how Yin Yu met Hua Cheng, how the two of them met Black Water, and what Yin Yu learned about unconditional love and revenge along the way.

    “Hey, I recognise you,” the alpha greets him, snaps his fingers in feigned recognition and he points at Steve, enthusiastically. “You’re the idiot who walked in front of my car wearing a skimpy sailor outfit.”

    “That’s me,” Steve says, flatly. “I’m an idiot because I didn’t expect some psycho to be speeding like a lunatic in the parking lot and almost kill me." Then he glares. "Also, It’s not skimpy.

    Summary

    "He just asked what you looked like, honestly. Wanted a guy with brown eyes, brown hair, real pretty," Angela clicked her long nails against the counter, "Other than the outfit he wasn't too talkative. Sexy ass voice. He requested you specifically. Stephan the King only."

    Steve shrugged, "Okay. Whatever."

    Most of the time he wasn't too concerned with what his clients wanted. He was flexible in more ways that one, happy to bottom or top or escort them to the opera or just listen. Most of the time, the job was just listening, even during sex. Finding out what people liked and being that came naturally to him. He was good at bullshit, as Nancy would say. He was a great hooker.

    He'd made his job bullshit. He got paid an ungodly amount by the hour to spread his legs or spread someone else's, and he was good at it.

    Summary

    When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.

    It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

    Xie Lian has a plan.


    “Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
    His voice caught.
    “I mean, to—”
    Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
    “As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”
