Summary
“It must’ve been hard, then. How did the ship not sink with the load of leaves and flowers to brew moon tea?”
Lucerys grunts, elbowing his Uncle’s side. Aemond barely moves.
“There was no need for that. We married for duty only, and without having to perform it, there was no reason for us to lay together. There was no—” he shrugs, as casually as he can. “Indulging.”
Aemond's steps falter almost imperceptibly. “No?”
“Only during our wedding night. Not once after that.”
or: lucerys and aemond meet three years after the petition during lucerys' husband's funeral.

Less Sparing with Courtesies by Neliel135 for johanirae

Summary
“I would not object,” he said at last, the words coming out low and flat, “if he were… less sparing with such courtesies.”
There. Said. Dragged out like a rotten tooth by his well-meaning, insect-obsessed sister.
He loathed how raw it felt, to admit aloud that he would take more, if offered.
More kisses. More of Lucerys’ easy warmth. More of what had never been given freely to him as a child.
It was humiliating, how rarely Lucerys kissed him and how greedily he hoarded each instance like a dragon with too few coins.
OR
A year into their marriage, Aemond has learned to live with shared breakfasts, a shared bed, and painfully rare kisses—
until one overheard confession gives Lucerys every excuse to change that.Bookmarked by shalyreads

Summary
So, the first thing that happens is Castiel comes back.
~~~
"Right," Dean says eventually, gruffly. He looks down at his shoes. "I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, man. It's—you know, yours. Do your thing, love who you love, whatever. I can't really stop you from loving me, if that's what you've decided to do, but I don't—I can't—"
"I know," Castiel murmurs, still just smiling a little, not looking heartbroken at all. "Don't worry about it, Dean, that's all I ask."
"So we're—" Dean risks a glance up, swallowing thickly. "We're good?"
Castiel hums. "We're good."

Summary
Will roughly rubbed his arm across his mouth again, trying to rub it off. Rub off the scent of Alana, after they’d kissed. After she’d kissed him. Or he’d kissed her? It was mutual.
Until it wasn’t. Until Will breathed in her scent, so familiar, so Alpha, so…wrong. He’d pulled back forcibly, unable to hide the expression of revulsion on his face.
“I…I need to go.” he said, sweeping his coat off the back of a chair on his way towards the door. “Lock up when you leave.”
The weather was crap, and it probably wasn’t smart to drive in the snow while he was in pre-heat, but Will didn’t know what else to do. He needed to figure this out, he needed to talk to the only person who understood him. He needed to talk to Hannibal.

Summary
Surrounding Minho, in an almost perfect semi-circle around his crossed legs, are a litany of small paper strips, all tinted a pale pink. Minho picks one up, holds it out in front of him like it offends him, “what do you think this is?”
“I—” Chan huffs, leans back fully against the wall and crosses his arms, “I don’t know, baby. Tell me? Please?”
Minho scoffs, “dumb alpha.” He drops the strip back with the others—Chan watches as it flutters to the floor. “They’re ovulation tests, yeobo. You were right. I’m in pre-heat.”
Or: 42-year-old Minho goes into heat for the first time in almost a decade.
