At the End of Her World by flowersforthemachines

Summary
“How’s Rook?” The words burst out of him like a dog breaking off a leash.
Bellara stopped.
“Bad.” Back turned towards him, she continued, “I almost said that you can imagine, but you can't, I guess. Not like I can. The Blight is… a lot. Too much by now. When it's over, it's… It will be a relief. For her.” She let out a shaky breath and turned around. “So thank you. For coming."
We will help.
“Death is my calling, after all,” he said. “It’s what I do best.”
After almost a decade of a tumultuous relationship, Rook and Lucanis made the choice to cut ties for good. Yet when Rook's time comes, Lucanis visits the Weisshaupt fortress to make good on a contract taken ten years ago — to see Rook through the end of her Calling.

Summary
“It’s a kiss scene,” Bellara blurts out. "The one I'm stuck on."
“Uh-huh.” Rook closes her book and puts it aside. “What’s wrong with it?”
“It’s like I can’t get a feel for it. At all.” She gets up from her chair, hoping that maybe a switch from horizontal to vertical can also become a switch from the stuck-state to a flow-state.
Doesn’t help. Still worth trying.
“If you are out of practice, why not get some?” Rook asks.
“Where?” She blinks. “I don’t think there are places where you can get practice kisses from strangers. Well, actually, there are, maybe. But I wouldn’t know.”
“Never heard about those, personally.” Rook shrugs. “But I’m right here.”
When Belllara gets stuck on writing a kiss scene for her story, Rook kindly offers her help.

Summary
“It’s about something you've said to Davrin today,” Rook starts, tentatively.
“Rook, I know the way we talk to each other may seem—”
“It’s not that.” Your mutual discourtesy is kind of hot, is what she thinks. But she’ll have to pick a more appropriate time to unpack that. “It was a conversation that you had. About the Calling.”
Lucanis and Rook have a late-night discussion about her Calling.

Bellara's Diary: On Darkspawn Corruption by flowersforthemachines

Summary
I have the Blight.
Just trying to get used to the idea. Still feels surreal even when I write it. Even when I feel it. Not as much as back then, not nearly, but it’s there. Something in my blood. Something in my head.
The worst of the corruption went away when Elgar’nan died. But not all. Still have to pass the Joining, or I’ll die. Probably. Nobody knows for sure anymore.
Getting blighted at Tearstone Island leads to Bellara undergoing the Joining. While she stays with the wardens to recover, she grapples with her place in the world and what to do next, and discovers her unique connection to the Blight.

Summary
In a universe where special abilities are replaced with elemental powers called alchemy, the Black Cat Café is known for its exceptional coffee and artisanal magic. Customers come from far and wide to experience the unique flavors that only alchemy can achieve.
Ranpo Edogawa, however, has never really liked coffee. He's far more enamored with the sweets, the pastries, and with the elusive baker who works in the café's basement.

Despite everything screaming at him, Akutagawa does not listen. He focuses on a mixture of amber and violet, zeroes in on Atsushi’s rapid exhalations, his blown-out pupils, the flush of his cheeks.

Summary
Atsushi scootches forward, so their knees brush. “I want to reciprocate. I know you don’t like having your clothes off, but can I suck your dick?”
He stares at Atsushi.
Atsushi misreads his silence. “You know I won’t hurt you. I promise. Can I suck your dick - uh, please?”
He blinks baleful eyes at him. Aktuagawa rubs at his forehead. “Are you perhaps stupid?” he asks.

Summary
“I won’t be the one to kill you,” the weretiger says, breathless despite the pause. “Not again.” Akutagawa feels the hands on his collar tremble. “I’m not like you. I won’t be like you.”
And none of this—none of it hurts in the slightest. It does not consume him. There are no claws to tear him open, no pains blossoming on his jaw; it does not ache, and it does not burn.
This will ruin you, he thinks, this will ruin you from the inside out.

Summary
Akutagawa stops, but he’s too close, too much, to fade into the background. Not now that Atsushi’s spent so long memorizing the way the world fits around him.
Dazai’s next words are a suckerpunch. “You want our little hellhound to choose you.”
If he doesn’t open his eyes, he can pretend the cool trails working down his cheeks are from the wind.
The night is so full, the city never quite sleeping, but in this tiny bubble the silence is a scream Atsushi can’t shut out.
“Maybe,” he says after too long, his voice thick and hollow, “Just once, I want someone, anyone, to give a flying fuck about Atsushi.”
—————
Or:Atsushi makes a life-changing decision when Akutagawa gets injured. The consequences make him reexamine himself, his partner, and what exactly he wants the word partner to mean.

Summary
Atsushi sat up and narrowly missed banging his head on the bottom of the shelf above him. The three dots remained for almost a full minute and then disappeared.
He typed quickly. Are you there?
The silence that stretched after that text was so long that he almost laid back down. Finally, though, the three dots lit again, but this time a message came through.
There’s something wrong with me.
