Summary
Xavier Thorpe didn’t exactly expect Wednesday to use the cell phone he purchased for her. It was a ridiculous idea, a whim, a fancy. But something had compelled him to try. So, it was with some shock, two weeks into their break from Nevermore, that Xavier’s phone buzzed on his nightstand.
In which, Wednesday discovers her cell phone camera, though only filtered through a black and white lens and Xavier finds himself even more under her spell as a darker side of him begins to seep through his well maintained facade.
Xavier Thorpe POV
I’ve been toying with this darker idea of Xavier since Ajax’s line, “Bro’s got a darker side most people don’t see..”
This story is now rated Explicit. First three chapters are Mature. Please note the new tags.

Summary
In 1940's Cardiff, RAF American Volunteer Capt Jack Harkness' life changed forever when he danced one dance in the arms of a handsome angel who disappeared into a wall of light after one soul-shattering kiss.

Can he help pull the team back from the edge by stepping in for the man who bore his name and disappeared without a word? And what will he and his new found "family" do when the prodigal returns?

Summary
“Geralt…? What, by Melitele’s tits, are you doing? The door, man, normal people use a d--... Geralt?” He noticed it now. The feverish sheen on the Witcher’s skin, the alert, skittish look in his eyes and the--. He cleared the distance between them in three strides. Geralt retreated until his back hit the wall with a dull thud, but Jaskier would not be deterred. He shoved his face into the crook of Geralt’s neck and breathed in deeply, his hands gripping the edges of the damp cloak draped over broad shoulders. “You’re…”
“I need… need to ask you… for a…” He clenched his teeth, eyes rolling to the ceiling. Two gloved hands lifted to push Jaskier away from his chest; it felt like trying to move a mountain. Not because Jaskier pushed back, but because every fibre of his being wanted to pull the other way. Ask for a what though? ‘Favour’ didn’t quite fit the bill for what he was about to request, and so he stared at Jaskier with those intense golden eyes, while mentally scrambling for a coherent explanation amidst the brain fog.
Geralt and Jaskier get together, fall in love with Eskel, and learn that it's all right to want (and let themselves have) things.

He barely makes it to the toilet in time to throw up. Then he looks at himself in the mirror, eyes reflecting a pain no medication could abolish.

Summary
Chirrut Îmwe has it all figured out. A successful yoga studio, tai chi on the weekends, and raising his son Bodhi. The last thing he needs is for Baze Malbus to trample all over his plans with his distractingly deep voice and tendency to disrupt everything with his sheer existence.
Bodhi has nothing figured out. Not his future, not himself, and certainly not why his heart does flips every time he sees the captain of the track and field team.
It's a good thing they have each other.

Summary
There were stories, growing up. Stories that every sappy, impossibly in love couple would tell. When you meet your mate, they said, you just know. Tony's given up on the whole bondmate idea. Thanks to suppressants, most people don't even know he's an omega to begin with. But then Tony tackles Leroy Jethro Gibbs to the cold alley pavement, and the possibility of bonding literally smacks him in the face. The only problem is: Gibbs doesn't know Tony's an omega either, and Tony doesn't know how to tell him.
