    Summary

    Harry is insulted for his weight on his way to work and struggles with his emotions all day. Knowing that Harry has forgotten something important, Kim does everything in his power to make him feel better. Before the day is done, they both realize what they have been missing.

    [INLAND EMPIRE: The stars align. Infinite galaxies crash together and then separate. Soft lips press against your own, careful, unsure. A thin hand caresses the side of your face, eyes questioning through thick lenses. Beneath your fingers, he trembles, wondering if this is a mistake or the best decision he’s ever made. His skin is slick and his oil-scented jacket is rough as you push it off his shoulders, touching freckled golden skin. He breathes next to your ear, murmuring your full first name softly. He wants this. He wants you.]
    [MID-THORACIC BUZZ: His skin looks golden despite the relative darkness of the alley. He is beautiful. He is kind. He is what you’ve been missing all your life.]

    Summary

    The son of the man who lost the Eagle of the Ninth would never be allowed a first command of his very own fort, would he?

    Marcus is posted not to Isca Dumnoniorum, but to a wretched and run-down garrison north of the Wall. There he finds that he is the new centurion of a group of scouts and spies, all of them British. He has few supplies and no experience. His men distrust him. His superiors despise him. His second-in-command is an incompetent drunkard. And the local tribes are determined to kill all of them.

    But the worst thing of all is one of Marcus' soldiers. He is an enigmatic, dangerous, and insubordinate man by the name of Esca, who makes Marcus yearn for terrifying things he has never before wanted and can never, ever let himself have...

    Summary

    There is no summary as such. The only premise is that I wanted a drabble where Ram loves classical music and ghazals. So, after being inspired by a couple of songs myself, I created a small domestic situation around our beloved characters. Which has now morphed into a full fledged fic all by itself! With an actual plot...

    "The sweet melody of the traditional thumri was wafting in the air, mingling with the buzz in the street of purani Dilli even close to eleven at night. The shops had closed and the porches were now filled by the food stalls and hawkers selling various delicacies that were the highlight of the city’s flavours. The aroma of chole, kulche, kebabs, nihari, biryanis, paratha and what not was ready to attack and entice one’s appetite on just entering the gali. The street was lit with lanterns that lent a rustic glow to the entire surrounding and one could see why Ghalib had fallen in love with the city, especially the nightlife of it."

    no song for this one, just know it has "Beetlejuice" vibes. So maybe some "Shake Senora" works here. ;)
