    Summary

    A hand reaches out and Lance’s eyes widen as he follows the movement with shuddering fear, his fingers digging into his palms. The hand brushes a stray lock of hair from his face, the touch almost caressing if not for the fingertips stained in red.

    Maybe if Lance just stays still, the creature will lose interest in him. Or he’ll wake from this nightmare. Maybe if he squeezes his eyes shut, they will open to empty air and aspiring hope. Lance’s eyes flutter open, the featherlight touch still palpable as he stares ahead in continued dread.

    Then the creature’s lips part, an observational lift of his brow, “You’re shaking,” the thick fingers brush against Lance’s cheek before resting under his chin, “how captivating.”

    Lance stands on the precipice of a dangerous world he can barely comprehend, drawn into predatory orbits that seek to remake him. Every touch, every claim, every drop of blood threatens to unravel his fragile sense of self. Until only the night possesses him.

    Summary

    -

    Keith doesn't really remember how he got here. But he's in hospital now, staring at his ex-boyfriend that he hasn't seen in too many years to remember. (Four and a half but who's counting?)

    Sometimes fate is cruel like that.

    -

    Keith stared at the doctor, pulse suddenly uneven beneath the monitor leads stuck to his chest. He asked the question even though the swirl in his gut told him he already knew. “…who?”

    The doctor looked mildly surprised by the question and looked down at the file again before reading out the name. “Lance McClain?”

    Everything inside Keith went very still very suddenly.

    Summary

    Keith's next door neighbor has picked up the habit of BLASTING rock music at ungodly hours. If he had his way he'd barge into his apartment and destroy his subwoofers with a baseball bat. Shiro always tells him to try being more subtle... maybe something less confrontational will work better?

    Pidge Cackles, clutching her stomach as she rolls onto her back, overcome with giggles.

    "What! What?! What'd I say?!" He marches across the living room, looming over her. She simply points toward her computer screen where the settings window was still pulled up. He raises a brow, crouching down next to her to read through the page. His eyes land on the 'Available Wifi Networks' panel, and-

    'Apt203ULoudAsFuck' [Connect?]

    "WHAT!?"

    She wheezes, pointing between the screen, and Lance's dumbfounded face.

    "Oh, no, no way, two can play at this game!" He screeches, snatching the laptop from her, the charger unclipping as he began to pace, fingers flying over the keyboard. "There! Take that!"

    Pidge grabs the computer back from him, suppressing the remnants of her giggles to read what he'd done. At the top of the page, their own Wifi Network was now titled:

    'Apt???SayItToMyFace!'

    Summary

    Cyno’s red eyes lifted, calm and unbothered. “If I’m stuck learning the difference between a Padisarah and a Viparyas for this marriage, you’re learning about oases.”

    “Wow,” Tighnari deadpanned. “Truly, the language of love.”

    To preserve peace between their nations, Tighnari is sent from the rainforest to the desert to marry Cyno, the only son of King Deshret. The arrangement is political, public, and entirely out of their hands.

    They were never meant to care for each other. The alliance was supposed to be enough.
    But peace built on secrets cannot last forever.

    Summary

    Cyno will do anything for the people he loves, so when the Fatui make him choose between himself and Collei, his mind is already made up.

    What he didn’t anticipate, however, is how interested his captors are in the Spirit indwelling in him, or all the ways they seek to exploit it.

    Now, while the ones he cares about desperately scour every inch of the country for him, all Cyno can do is try to claw his way out of hell.
