Summary
Wolf looks better on his knees than anywhere else.
Wolf looks the same as always; expectant. A little bit ragged. Genichiro just likes to see him there, prostrated and obedient.
It isn’t revelatory in the way Genichiro expects— Genichiro isn’t the one who put him there, and instead of the rush of victory, there is only a hollow feeling in his chest. Wolf is looking up at him from the ground, something almost derisive simmering in his eyes. They glow in the half-light, eerie and golden. They’re inhuman.
They’re beautiful.
“I am at your service, my lord.”
It isn’t sneering, but it’s close.
It is what Genichiro wants, but they’ve both taken too much from one another for this to be anything but sullen.
“Are you, shinobi?” Genichiro asks, his lip curled. Wolf is still holding his gaze, hands on his thighs, shoulders back.
“Anything you need,” is what Wolf says.
Anything you are too weak to do yourself, is what Genichiro hears.
He needs Wolf to save Ashina; it tastes sour in his mouth, but he will swallow it to keep his lands safe. He has swallowed worse than this bitterness.
He has given up more than his pride.

Viktor is dying.
This is nothing new. He’s been dying since he was born, since he took his first acrid lungful of Fissure air, and he accepted his premature expiration long ago. Everyone has to die anyways, right? All the Fissure had done was move up the finish line.
That doesn’t make it any easier.
——
Or, Viktor never tries Shimmer, and his death is the slow, painful erosion that everyone said it would be.

Summary
“You look ridiculous, by the way,” Viktor says. He gestures toward Jayce with a deliberate wave of his hand. "The beard. And the hair."
Jayce blinks. “What?”
“It is overgrown. You look like a poorly maintained garden.”
“Are you calling me a shrub?”
“It is not the worst thing," Viktor teases, wry. Then his smirk fades into something more thoughtful. “You have … changed, yes. You are rougher around the edges now. You look—” He hesitates, words faltering before settling on, “—like you have lived.”
And Jayce wonders how much longer he’ll be able to hold himself back.
—
Six months after they destroy the Hexcore, Jayce and Viktor try to settle into a new life as friends. Partners. Turns out they love each other a little too much.

Summary
The boy’s gaze flicked upwards when Hathus approached. He was only bold enough to look Hathus in the eye for a moment before hastily ducking his head. A trained slave wouldn’t have looked up at all, but for a captured soldier, his reaction was nearly demure. Hathus took note of the tie around his neck. The leather knot wasn’t pulled tight, as it would have been if he’d struggled, and the skin around his throat was unmarked. The boy hadn’t fought the leash.
“Stand,” Hathus said quietly. The boy didn’t respond.
The quartermaster clicked his tongue. “Willful.”
Hathus barely held back from rolling his eyes. If the boy was a conscript, he might have been drawn from one of the further reaches of the opposing empire. Gods only knew what language he spoke. He crouched down, startling the boy into looking up at him again.
“Stand,” he said, and gripped the boy by the shoulders, pulling him upwards. The boy scrambled to get his feet under him as soon as he realized what Hathus was doing. Not willful in the least, once he understood what was being ordered.

After failing to get into SOLDIER, Cloud Strife has few options but to become an employee in the labs. He never expected to like it, and he never expected to be good at it. And he definitely never expected to end up meeting his hero and long-time crush this way.

Summary
I don’t know what god I appeased to deserve this moment. But four fingers in, I’m convinced that divine intervention must have played a part.
You're pretty sure Leander has only been flirting so he can get you wrapped around his finger, but you're finding it hard not to catch feelings all the same. He's still the only person you can touch without cursing, though, so how much could it really hurt to take him up on a night of exploring his body?

Another raid on a hub of demonic activity, another case of Dean finding every last one of the bastards already dead with their eyes burnt out. The new and unnerving trend is royally pissing him off, but at least he's always able to blow off some steam these days too.
Hooking up with that traveling business guy was an awesome move.

Summary
In his final year of college, Dean Winchester’s got a lot of decisions to make: what he’s going to do with his life, where he’s going to do it, and most importantly, which girl he’s going to do... right now. And later tonight. And the next night. And the next—
When new transfer student Castiel Novak shows up first in his class, and then his friend group, Dean can’t help but see it as an infiltration. Something is up with Castiel, and he’s going to find out what. More accurately, he’s going to enlist his best and longest suffering hacker friend, Charlie Bradbury, to do it for him.
Not a single one of Dean’s suspicions has anything to do with the fact that upon their first meeting, Castiel insults his shoes, his general existence, and his masculinity by— looking at him like that.

Summary
Castiel holds the mic to his mouth and says, in a rough, sly voice that hits all of Dean's buttons and then some, 'I look like a fucking nerd, don't I.'
It's such a bald statement of fact, it gets a laugh. Castiel's lips curve upwards, and without quite meaning to, Dean leans forward to listen.
'I mean that literally, by way: I look like a fucking nerd, like a nerd who fucks. What! Don't laugh at that, you judgemental prick,' he says, grinning so there's no sting in it as he points the mic at a chuckling guy in the front row, 'you think a guy in sweater vest can't get some cock if he wants it? I'll have you know, I had one whole boyfriend in high school. Yeah. I was hot property. You wanna talk about band geeks getting it on in high school, forget that American Pie flute insertion bullshit; ask a fucking gay hornist where he gets his embouchure.'- Language:

For All You Young Hockey Players Out There, Pay Attention by thursdaysfallenangel
Fandoms: Supernatural
23 Jul 2022

Summary
Dean Winchester knows two things about hockey, two things his dad made sure he knew. One, hockey is a guy’s sport, and two, hockey is family. Hockey meant Sam and Bobby and Benny and Victor and Gabriel and hell, his entire team. So when Victor gets traded, Russian-star-turned-new-teammate Castiel Krushnic becomes a threat. As much as Dean hates him for that, the longer he sticks around, the more he begins to threaten that first rule too. Dean’s been taught his whole life that those who play hockey should not be captivated by deep accented voices and the way a guy handles his stick, so how the hell is he supposed to justify what he’s starting to think about Cas? All Dean wanted at the beginning of the season was to win, and now all he wants to do is figure out how he feels about Cas and how to deal with it without ruining his career and tearing his family apart.

Summary
When no good deed goes unpunished, Dean ends up sentenced to community service for physically defending another Omega at his job. That is, at his former job. It's all a steaming pile of shit, and that's exactly what he has to clean up at the joint animal shelter and clinic he's been assigned to.
With a face full of allergies and a horrific mood, all Dean has to do is get through six weeks of this sinus-assaulting torture. That's not so easy with a smartass Alpha receptionist, but at least the weird Beta vet might just end up being kinda cool.

Human AU. Dean Winchester teaches a third-grade class. He's new to this whole ‘bisexual’ thing - but by pure happenstance, he meets Castiel: a particularly dapper male librarian who moonlights as a substitute teacher. Dean's curious and Castiel is willing, so why the hell not?

Summary
As a grease monkey turned college freshman, Dean's constantly three seconds away from being stressed out of his mind. It hardly helps that he's finally figuring out his sexuality in his thirties.
What might help with that stress is a little phone number (and a big credit card bill). If he can't figure out how to be bisexual in person, he can at least give it a go over the phone, right?
(It's probably a bad idea, but he really can't help himself.)

Before the battle at Myrddin, Sylvain had tightened the saddle of his mare and looked at Felix, and he thought, if we both get through this day alive, I’ll tell him.
Now, the black blood was almost to his knee. All Sylvain could hear was the deep, blue silence of the forest. He understood that the silence was the result of his body shutting out all external stimuli to focus on pumping poison through his veins. He understood that it made him very bad at keeping watch.
He made himself think it: only one of them would live.
Still the words wouldn’t come.

Cut off from help, deep in enemy territory, Sylvain and Felix navigate the realities of injury and make difficult choices.Bookmarked by winsome_whatever
