Summary
When Kaveh discovers that Alhaitham has been reading a book about human sexuality and kinks, he generously offers to assist Alhaitham with some sexual exploration. It’s a risky proposal, and one that could end very badly—thanks to their falling-out years ago, the two of them have trust issues galore.
But it turns out that Kaveh and Alhaitham are surprisingly good at trust and communication when it comes to sex…which raises some questions about the nature of their relationship, and where exactly this whole experiment is leading them.
“Look,” Kaveh says, “if you’re going to approach sexual pleasure like an experiment, most potential partners won’t take too kindly to the idea of you having sex with them for science. Therefore, to spare all the poor people you’d inevitably insult in your quest for data, I am willing to be that person.”
“How charitable of you,” Alhaitham says.
“And I assume that you’re somewhat comfortable with the idea of having sex with me,” Kaveh adds, “or else you wouldn’t have been so willing to have my fingers in your mouth just now.”

Summary
He feels like a wild animal trapped in a cage, pacing and pacing, waiting for freedom that won’t ever come. He’s hungry like one too; always craving something to sink his teeth into.
It’s foul, honestly- the deep pit in his middle, and how it begs not to feel so empty. He cannot ever fill it and he knows that much. On his worst days, he thinks back to the living armour. He pictures himself as that metal husk and for a second the emptiness is a comfort.Bookmarked by strange_isle

Summary
When he closes his eyes, he sees a portrait. The one of Laios, sat on his throne, dressed in his finery. Sometimes it feels like it’s painted inside his eyelids or framed somewhere on the back of his skull. It’s an image Kabru has always liked, ever since the day it got hung up. The king’s likeness captured near perfectly, with all his nervous edges buffed out. He looks like he belongs there.
Kabru hopes that when Laios is long gone, that is how he is remembered.Bookmarked by strange_isle

“Am I mistaken or are you banging the Vault dweller?” Piper whispered harshly, one hand suddenly having seized his sleeve.
He startled and glanced back to her involuntarily. “What? No!”
“Coulda fooled me!"

An Ever-Fixed Mark by AMarguerite
Fandoms: Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice & Related Fandoms
28 Oct 2017
Tags
Summary
One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.
(A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

Summary
No-one opens the door when Pritchard knocks. It's locked—he does check—even though Jensen's expecting him.
"You know the code, Pritchard." Jensen's voice is muffled by barriers and distance, but still manages to sound tired. "Come on in."
Pritchard sneers quietly at the lock as he punches the numbers in. How welcoming—as if he's in the habit of regularly hacking his co-worker's systems and memorising their passwords. Which he is, but there's no need for Jensen to go calling him out on it when he's here as a favour.
Jensen staggers back from a mission, damaged and sensitive. Pritchard has the honour of finding out just how sensitive.

"You're losing your edge," you finally say. "A break would do the body good, don't you think?"
"A break," he repeats. It is not a question, but you answer it as one anyways.
"A break, Ramattra. If you could allow yourself even a moment to relax."
In which you speak a language of love to Ramattra, like you know what it means.
