Summary
A Wenclair Detective/Mafia Addams Family AU
Explicit sexual content (Chapter 5 and Chapter 12) + Period-typical homophobia and anti-lesbian slurs
This story is not smut. There are two sex scenes in 49,000 words and neither of them is what I would call hot. If you are here to get off, this is not the place you think it is. The story is built around a murder, a branding iron, a boy who is supposed to be dead, and a cat named Friedrich Nietzsche who may be older than the universe. The sex is incidental. The violence is not.
No beta. We die like Tyler Galpin.

Summary
In the golden light of Suramar, Illidan Stormrage is only an apprentice—brilliant, restless, and disastrously in love.
Lytavis Ariakan has always known who he is beneath the ambition and fire. She steadies him, challenges him, and chooses him long before history does. Between candlelight and star-charts, awkward first times and whispered vows, they build something fragile and luminous: a future.
But hope, however bright, does not exist untouched.
Of Grace and Hope is the story of who Illidan was before the fall—and who he chose to become when love asked more of him than power ever did.

Summary
I am a weight, he told himself. I am an inanimate pile of stones for her and nothing more. This was medicine. Treatment for nightmares. A practical means of helping the Avatar sleep through the night, a one-time request in an unusual situation, something she could ask of Yingsu or Juji or Akuudan or anybody. So he could put aside the fact that he was in love with her, because he would do anything for her, and he refused to make anything about their friendship “weird” because she’d asked him to “hold her down” one time.
Because surely this was a one-time thing.
To help her feel grounded and in-her-body while she sleeps, Yangchen asks Kavik to... lay on top of her. A little odd, but what are friends for?

Summary
We used to be inseparable as children; But I always had the feeling something wasn’t completely right between us, like the way we acted around each other wasn’t how we actually wanted to act.
I was so sad we couldn’t talk about it any further when summer came around and he had to move away.
Away from me; Away from us.
Now it’s summer again, but now he’s back. And everything is not right.
I don’t know if it’s the heat of the summer or if it is something else what’s keeping me hot and drenched in sweat.
But I, Sydney, promise myself I’m going to get to the bottom of this feeling before he goes away again.

Summary
Part two of my Twilight Trilogy has arrived. This will be combining New Moon and Eclipse in to one story, because Alice would never abandon Bella like that. The girls take a trip cross country so that Alice and Renee can meet. Things take a turn almost from the beginning.
This time around I have the perspective alternating between Bella and Alice in chapter rather than between chapters, hopefully no one gets too lost.

Summary
Ziyu knows romance.
In theory.
In fiction.
In stories where people come with tags, feelings follow the right route, and the next scene always knows what it is supposed to be.
Real life is less helpful.
Real life has a divorced doctor, his stubborn daughter, a piano under probation, an audition page Ziyu keeps closing, and a kind of love that does not ask his body to prove anything.
Or: a divorced doctor, a chaotic music tutor, one stubborn child, a lot of rain, and an ace romance about learning that love does not have to follow the expected script.
🎶🌙⚡️🎹
Ace tag note: Ziyu is ace, but this isn’t a “no sex ever” story. They do go all the way eventually, just with a lot of talking, figuring things out, and being awkwardly earnest about it.

Summary
Castiel Allen is a social failure. But his grandmama, Lady Celeste Novak, is determined to establish him in society so that he can embark on a political career. After a spectacular disaster at the event of the Season, Lady Celeste decides to take charge.
“I know that you have many good qualities Castiel, but we are both aware that those good qualities seldom show themselves in company...”
Castiel is silent now, one scone still remaining untouched on his plate, his tea growing cold.
Celeste sits up a little straighter and smooths the silk skirts over her knees. “And so I have made a decision.” She pins Castiel with her gaze, like a collector might pin a butterfly. “I will select an omega bride for you.”
His gaze whips up from the hearthrug and his mouth falls open.
“You will marry,” she says, her jaw set firmly against any protestations. “ And then you can finally take up your place as my heir.”

Summary
The warm glow of street lanterns amidst the night sky provided a welcome distraction from the weighing ache in her muscles. Defeating Dottore was no easy task – as The Second of the Fatui Harbingers, he was bound to be a formidable adversary, though even she underestimated the toll it would take on her health.
Riding on the back of a merchant's wagon was a less than ideal way to travel, if not a little humiliating, but it beat walking the entire journey from Nod Krai to Liyue on foot...

Set in the 2026 lantern rite, after completing the Lunar IV Archon Quest, Lumine decides to return to liyue for Lantern Rite. Exhausted from such events, Xiao helps her regain energy by taking care of her – allowing her to stay in his room with him while she rests.

Full of mutual pining and gentle words, this fic is like a warm hug :)

His eyes flutter softly and he groans like it's the best five inches he's ever tasted.Kakashi balks at the display and fights the urge to ask if anyone else is seeing this shit.

Summary
Clearly, friends are all Naruto wants to be – even in spite of the way he kisses his way up Sasuke's body, touching him like lovers do.
It feels like something akin to worship. It feels an awful lot like love.
But it can't be.
Because how could it be love when Naruto has always refused to acknowledge it? He'd chase Sasuke to the ends of the earth and back forever, but he wouldn't call that love. It's always just "because you're my friend". And Sasuke is sick of it.
— or four times that Naruto and Sasuke have sex while they're not on the same page, and one time while they are.
