    Summary

    Even at the alter, General Ren does not smile. His expressionless gaze is cast on their joined hands instead as if it offends him. He does not lift his gaze until they rise from a deep bow, deeper than Dan Heng has ever had to in his life and it is for a man who has slain thousands of his people.

    His smile slips when their eyes meet, a clash of green and red so vivid the world comes to a standstill to this single point in time.

    After six years on the battlefield, Dan Heng meets defeat in the face of his consort.

    ~

    In the aftermath of a bloody war, the way to a lasting peace treaty comes in the form of marriage; generals of their respective armies would be offered as consorts for the heirs of their nations. In the name of peace, Dan Heng reluctantly accepts the show of goodwill but seeing an enemy as a friend is no easy task.

    It quickly becomes clear that his own people would sooner seek vengeance for their losses than to accept this political power play, even at the cost of their prince's life.

    Summary

    “████. ████.” Phainon blinked dumbfounded. “I’m sorry?” Phainon asked. Mydei gave him an odd look. His entire body seemed to glitch in and out of existence. Steadily. Like a heartbeat. Once. Twice. Thrice. And then he steadied himself. “Are you alright?” Phainon asked worriedly. Mydei nodded slowly. “███ ████.” Phainon stumbled a bit backwards, just the slightest bit shaken and taken aback. Concern overwhelmed his boyfriend, who quickly closed the gap inbetween them, attempting to lay a comforting hand on Phainon’s shoulder. But, as Phainon braced himself for the moment of impact, he glitched right through it. This time, Mydei noticed it too. The two of them shared a confused look, confirming Phainon’s suspicions from the past few weeks.

    He wasn’t going crazy. He wasn’t slowly losing his mind. Something oddly was going on. His dreams seemed too realistic to be just that. Pieces of conversations seemed to go missing. Certain events not taking place at all. Locations suddenly disappearing and knowledge slowly crumbling away. And overall, a quiet voice in the back of his head never seemed to quite shut up at all.

    “Subject █████ attempt at the…” “failed.” “…perished,” “…progress has been rolled back.”

    Summary

    Knights aren't supposed to love their liege.
    But Phainon has never been good at doing what he's supposed to.

    Sworn to serve Mydei, the cold and calculating Crown Prince of Castrum Kremnos, Phainon was trained to fight, guard, and obey. Falling for his liege was not in the curriculum— yet here he is, neck-deep in unspoken feelings and terrible decisions.

    His solution?
    Slip anonymous love notes between the pages of the books that Mydeimos reads at the library of Castrum Kremnos. Not the smartest plan, but it beats confessing and getting himself executed, he thinks.

    Mydei, on the other hand, is many things— disciplined, unreadable, sometimes terrifying— but he’s not immune to mystery. Or curiosity. Or the occasional flutter in his chest when he finds a folded note tucked beside a bookmarked passage.

    Summary

    It does not take long for said visitor to kneel next to him and take his hand reverently. Then, Dan Heng feels his soft tongue lap up the blood, trailing upwards to the gash he made in his palm. His hand twitches as the gash is licked tentively—a mix of pain and pleasure. The blood that dripped from his hand, all of it, was tasted greedily like a sinful elixir. Yet, for the both of them, Dan Heng knows it is far from enough.

     

    “Blade,” he spoke his name nonchalantly.

    Blood becomes them, and they cannot untwist themselves from one another.

    Summary

    They share a pulse, a mind, a body, a moment, a mouth.

    They are tongue and fingers and teeth and lips and pulse and heart and veins, enwrapped in one singular organism. Should the need arise, he will be the weaker and succumb to the stronger, feeding and feeding and bending and following.

     

    A brief moment of yearning.

    Summary

    Are you scared of me?”

    The words were smooth, deliberate. Mydei took a step closer, not looming, exactly, but there was an intent behind it—a slow, steady lean forward, as if he meant to intimidate.

    As if he could.

    And, without a single ounce of hesitation, he breathed,

    “Scary? My god, you’re divine.”

    Or in which Phainon is truly and helplessly in love with Mydei.

    Summary

    “If you don't hurry up.. I will bend you over the fucking stairs and make this shitty place crumble down around us.” Mydei's low voice rumbled in his chest like a lion's roar.

    “Easy there, big kitty. No need to use your claws.”

    Summary

    There was an (awkward) silence until Phainon spoke up again in the same bizarre, soft tone. 
     
    “It looks good on you.” Was what the hero uttered in the end. 
     
    Mydei looked at him puzzled as if he was dropped by his mother on the head. He then figured that Phainon must’ve been praising his new metal claws. He scraped the others, and they ended up bent in certain parts after a tough brawl, so he had to commission a new pair. Although they looked exactly like the last pair he had. So why was Phainon acting all weird now? 

     

    ---

    Fic takes place before Castrum Kremnos fell, when Mydei was still crown prince. Not much changed tho, they are still very gay for each other.

    Summary

    Norton breathes in deeply, and sighs. If he could choose exactly what he wants to find right now, it’d probably be a stick of dynamite and a can of food.

    Kneeling down, Norton unlocks the toolbox. Inside there’s a gun.

    He frowns. One gun. Nothing else.

    Summary

    “This is childish.”

    “I’m just asking if you want a turn on the pool float.”

    “No, I do not want a turn on the pool float!” Ratio groans, exasperation spilling forth. “This is entirely unnecessary and immature—”

    “Fine,” Aventurine interjects, effectively pausing the doctor’s tirade. “Then don’t. But you should know that the duck will be saddened by your rejection.” He throws Ratio a knowing glance. “As will I.”

    Ratio exhales a weary breath, lifting a hand to signal a pause. He takes a moment to steady himself before coming to a decision.

    “You are unbelievable,” he mutters beneath his breath. “Fine. I will try the damned thing.”

    Following their tribulations in Penacony, Aventurine and Ratio receive an unexpected gift from Jade—a much-needed vacation at at the most exclusive resort in the cosmos.

    With only each other, the sun, and the beach for company, it's a stark contrast to their everyday lives. As they struggle with the complicated shift in their relationship, a disappearance at the hotel, and the constant battle to keep their emotions in check, it all threatens to unravel completely.

    Summary

    “You really are so different from him,” Blade finally commented tiredly, hand absentmindedly lingering on the shorter male’s neck. Dan Heng blinked at him in shock, so used to having to emphasize that he was his own person separate from Dan Feng. “It sounds like you are suggesting we reconcile.”

    “I am,” he replied with conviction.

    “You make it sound so simple,” Blade muttered bitterly, before his expression and voice seemed to soften imperceptibly. “I… didn’t expect this.”

     

    Or; Dan Heng finally stops running. Can the shadows of two people who loved each other in a previous life salvage something from the ashes of their tragic shared past? Dan Heng isn’t sure, but most importantly after learning the truth, he’s willing to try. Over several nights spent in each other’s presence, he and Blade find a way to move forward, together.

    Summary

    “My dear doctor—”

    Aventurine says this with the gravitas of an opera villain, waving his hands for emphasis as he points directly at Ratio.

    “—you’re going to betray me to The Family.”

    When Aventurine and Dr Veritas Ratio find themselves at the centre of the mystery of Penacony, they discover that their personal goals, and rising mutual attraction, aren't all that dissimilar. (Alternatively, Aventurine and Dr. Ratio fight, fuck, and figure out what they mean to each other against the backdrop of the Penacony storyline. 2.1 spoilers.)

    Summary

    Lights flare blindingly bright all around him, and his vision blurs as his eyes water without his permission. Swallowing down another drink, he clamps his eyes shut, trying to lose himself to the music blasting too loudly around him. It's been a while since he's let himself get so weak. He knows he should at least feel something, shame or sadness, but all he has room for in his head is the bitter taste of bourbon on his lips. He takes another sip, and then all that's left is melting ice.

    It's just another messy night filled with an embarrassing string of mistakes, and Aventurine is sick and tired of self-destructing alone.

    Summary

    “It’s cold in here, Andrew,” he repeats, quiet, at least for Luca, and his usual loud self. He takes a step forward and Andrew takes a step back, until his knees hit his dusty little bed and he falls to sit on it.

    He falls to sit on it, and Luca climbs on top of him, follows the motion, his knees on either side of Andrew’s hips, his arms resting on Andrew’s shoulders.

    Andrew’s gaze sweeps down his lithe form in a slow descent, until he looks back up to lock eyes with the inventor, just to whisper, powerlessly, “I can--get you a blanket?”

    Summary

    "So, tell me, what will you do to me? Your little prisoner of war.. Wive me? Fuck me?” He was provocative and vile, clearly trying to coax some sort of reaction out of the stoic doctor. There was some sort of thrill to it, which sent a rush to Pav’s head.

    A loud exhale from above was all the warning he got as one of his arms were freed, but his body was urged to stay in place by something far, far more dangerous than a tight grip. A scalpel.

    Daan and Pav meet in the woods. One thing leads to another; and sex ensues.

    Summary

    It was a strange thing, truly. Veritas hated Aventurine. He was sure of it.

    But then, why did his usual jabs feel less biting? Why did his smile make Veritas’s stomach do somersaults?

    Why was Veritas’s gut reaction upon being stuck in a closet with Aventurine to shove his tongue down his throat?

    These were all very good questions.
