Summary
He thinks, or rather prays, the subject has been dropped for now, if not settled with Doc’s firm rejections, but as usual the blond makes a mess of all his well intended plans.
“Why are you afraid of me, old man?”
Doc blinks.
“You’re afraid I’ll get hurt in the Hud? He wouldn’t hurt me, he’s part of you, and I know you’d never hurt me.”

staccato footsteps and other dances by benwvatt

Summary
And buried beneath every layer of honor and filial piety in her heart, she was so intrigued by him. One night of dancing, his feet knowing precisely where to take hers, and she’d been enraptured. Was this all orchestrated? How calculating could one man be?
Who was the Avatar, and how did the two halves of him — the drunken bastard beneath the orange blossoms, the gentle-voiced fellow guiding her — come together?
“My lady.” He swept her into the dance, hands at her sides.
“Yours?” She wanted to ask.
“That’s princess to you,” she murmured, not caring whatever he called her as long as it wasn’t, well, ‘wife’.
Avatar Aang wants a wife to give him everything he needs, including heirs. He's set his sights on Yue, so Katara, confused and overprotective and definitely not charmed, will do anything to prevent his proposal. Even if that means dancing with him herself.
Or: the Bridgerton season 2 AU. Posted for Kataang Winter Bash 2026. Prompt: Proposal.

Summary
The first month of married life is not going quite as Erik and Christine imagined.
They are desperately, blissfully in love, but seem incapable of being left alone long enough to enjoy it. Between hovering family members, overinvested friends, unexpected vulnerabilities, and the delightful chaos of building a life together, the newlyweds find themselves learning each other in ways both deeply tender and profoundly absurd.
But beneath the humor and domestic misadventures lies something far more fragile: hopes for the future, old wounds that have yet to heal, and the growing realization that love cannot protect them from loss.
Warm, funny, heartfelt, and intensely character-driven, this story follows Erik and Christine as they navigate marriage, friendship, grief, found family, and the frightening possibility that happiness may be real.
A companion story set between my novels The Opera Ghost and The Opera Ghost Redeemed.

Enid Sinclair was never subtle about wanting attention.
Wednesday Addams was never subtle about pretending she didn't notice.What began as leggings, stolen glances, and careful denial has deepened into something raw and unbreakable. And the story is far from over.

Summary
(please mind the tags, this is a heavy non-con fic!)
The story of a complex, but ultimately unhealthy relationship between two like-minded women who come to love each other more than they should. Heavy non/con elements, porn with plot, hurt with a surprising amount of comfort. Neither safe, sane, nor consensual.

Summary
A man with nothing more to lose decides to seek help at a newly opened hotel in Hell.
This story is an alternate universe retelling of the events of Hazbin Hotel. I wanted to flesh out the different traumatic past events that some of the characters have gone through (specifically Vaggie because I always thought she should have had more trauma). Its kinda canon, kinda not.

Summary
Following the tragedy at Ashford Meadow, Prince Maekar Targaryen retreats beneath Summerhall, burying himself among crypts, dust, and grief while the realm whispers of the prince who killed his brother. When King Daeron II sends you, a fiercely intelligent but blind archivist from the castle’s forgotten lower vaults, to oversee a royal inventory, you become an intrusion Maekar neither wants nor can escape. Unimpressed by crowns, titles, or brooding silences, you meet the iron prince with blunt honesty, while he finds himself increasingly unsettled by the one woman who cannot look at him and see a kinslayer.
Trapped together in the darkness beneath Summerhall, what begins as reluctant cooperation slowly deepens into something neither duty nor royal expectation can contain, forcing an iron-willed prince and the woman who sees him most clearly to confront the ghosts they have spent years trying to outrun.

Summary
Michaela swallows, hard. “I am sorry for leaving you. But please—do not think me heartless. I have been living alone, with my ghosts, since I left you, the one and only person that could have understood me and my grief. It left me adrift, nowhere to go home to. Because what is home when the ones you love are gone?”
Francesca breathes in sharply. When Michaela looks up, she finds Francesca's eyes wide as she stammers out a small: “I am sorry for your loss, Your Grace,” as she wrings her gloved fingers together. “I suppose—it hurt that you left, yes, but at least—" she swallows. “You have returned.” Francesca’s lips press tight together as she adds: “Though, I suppose you are like as not to leave quickly again.”
It might be just a trick of a hopeless romantic’s mind (and what has Michaela become, that she thinks of herself as such) that she thinks she hears disappointment in Francesca’s voice, but it is a trick that she wants to believe in.
Michaela knows that it is a fancy that she should not speak, except:
“Come with me back to Scotland. I shall set you up in your own set of rooms, with your pianoforte, with your puzzles, and you shall have all of the space and quiet that you wish for."

Summary
A little over a year after the fall of Maruki's reality, Goro Akechi lives a relatively normal life- he took a plea deal which allowed him to avoid prison in exchange for giving the prosecutors every detail about Shido and the Antisocial Force. He has a small flat, two part-time jobs, a counselor, and a high school diploma to obtain. Most importantly, however, he has Ren by his side.
When an unexpected fact about Ren is accidentally revealed in Akechi's earshot, it awakens a desire that has been dormant in his heart for a year:
"I want to have my first time with Ren"
While Ren agrees, this is going to be more difficult than either of them thought- their preferences and temperaments appear at odds, as do their ideas on how either of them imagined their own first time. Akechi and Ren will have to work together to make this event both satisfying and pleasurable for both of them.
It's supposed to be a hook-up with no strings attached- it's not like Akechi has any feelings for Ren or anything like that. But intimacy is complicated, and what starts out as a simple favor quickly forces Akechi to confront a wide array of feelings and thoughts he has about his rival, friend, and temporary lover.

Summary
Wei Wuxian was probably the worst person imaginable to build a nest but here he was, carefully arranging spare blankets, pillows, and even a threadbare underrobe he had found in the depths of their closet. He barely knew what he was doing, drawing heavily from vague, ancient memories from his childhood when his father had built nests for his mother and him. His mother has always laughed and praised his father for his "wonderful nesting instincts" and Wei Wuxian suspected he might have inherited them from him, underdeveloped as they were. At least they were not useless and he had always been a quick learner.
(With his husband suffering from a brutal migraine, Wei Wuxian will do his very best to make him as comfortable as possible. Things... go a little bit differently than planned, thanks to Wei Wuxian being unable to say 'no' to whatever Lan Wangji wants.)

One day he takes her to «The Amazing Digital Circus,» where the ringmaster, a man with mismatched eyes and theatrical flair named Caine, steals his passport just to learn his name. Grant is furious, but the incident sets off a chain of events: Caine starts waiting for him outside his office, they flee a café without paying, and slowly begin to grow closer. Grant invites Caine to an art gallery, where he tries to introduce him to culture, while Caine's spontaneity melts the ice between them.
