the moment of purpose by poppyseedheart for jamesbonds
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)
18 Dec 2018
Tags
Summary
Caleb remembers the visceral collision of his palm with Fjord’s, their blood commingling in the seawater, their hands gripping each other, the calluses on Fjord’s skin, the hum that threatened Caleb’s composure, the feeling that he had lost his leverage the second they made the deal. Suddenly, all Caleb wanted was to savor the moment of touch, but more than that the moment of purpose, how their blood lit up the room, a magic more sacred than memory, a feeling that could tempt Caleb to blasphemy.
Trust is a transaction, Caleb writes again, painstakingly, so he doesn’t forget.

“This is supposed to be a scrabble tournament,” the blonde hisses condescendingly. Trixie finally turns to face the woman, and her mouth goes slack. She recognizes her, can’t believe that she didn’t just from her voice—although, there usually isn’t much talking during the scrabble matches Trixie has watched on YouTube.

Setting up a watch rotation was a smart move. None of them realized it was also the perfect way to have deep one on one talks.
Basically I use night watches to make these dads go through character development and bonding.

Summary
“Here, move your leg onto mine,” Newt says, and shifts so Hermann can hike his aching leg up instead of laying on it. It does mean Hermann’s practically chest-to-chest with Newt, close enough that he can hear the other’s whistling breath—in, out, in, out—but that’s nothing alarming; they’ve been closer before.

Summary
“That doesn’t have to be home,” Jack says quickly. “You can make a new one. Our apartment in Orlando, that can be home.”
Sammy’s chest hurts when Jack says it. Their apartment, the one they shared with Lily, had been home for a long time. Jack and Lily’s apartment had felt more like home than any place he’d ever known even before he’d moved in with them. He wanted that, to be able to acknowledge it, more than anything but if he said it… then he would be completely fucked. There was no going back from admitting to himself or anyone that it felt like home when Jack was around.

3 Birthdays Theo Spends Alone and 1 with Boris by hexameters
Fandoms: The Goldfinch - Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch (2019)
15 Sep 2019
Tags
Summary
Theo squeezes his eyes shut, willing himself to stay quiet even though to see Boris right now would be sheer relief, like gulping down ice water after running a marathon in hundred-degree heat, like the lights clicking on after a week-long blackout, second best, maybe, to taking a pill before his timer goes off.

Summary
Israel Hands is fifteen when he meets Edward Teach.
Edward is seventeen, and the most compelling man Israel has ever seen. They’re both deckhands on a Dutch merchant ship, and at night Edward keeps them both up long past midnight with talk; they sleep in two slung hammocks beside one another, Israel curled up like he used to with his sister, Edward slung out with long limbs and dark skin, his black hair short yet and still about his ears, his arms, his fingers untouched by ink. “I’ve got plans, Iz,” he says in that soft voice, “I’ve got big plans. Bigger than spice trades and pigs.”
Israel watches his booted foot swing the hammock side to side. “I know you do.”

“Just let me before you decapitate yourself,” Benny mutters. He looks at Dean’s face, the stubble and the dried blood and dirt that didn’t wash away. Their eyes lock together. Benny can’t believe he’s never noticed how green they are. “It’s easier if somebody does it for you.”
Dean hesitates, and Benny tries not to look at the cut on his chin, the small red line already trying to clot and scab over.
“Alright, fine,” Dean finally grumbles. He won’t look Benny in the eye. “Just make it quick.”

Ivo on Top (Or: Five Times Ivo Won a Bet, and One Time He Didn't) by round_robin for Lohrendrell, Squeakerblue
Fandoms: Gwent: The Witcher Card Game

Tags
Summary
Junod came off The Path and fell into a bed that was now his, exhausted, but excited to see Ivo again. When he woke a few days later, Ivo had yet to return. It was fine. Ivo was a fucking good Witcher, he'd survive the first year. One season absent wasn't remarkable. Many saw their first taste of freedom and stayed away for an extra year, getting to know the world they were supposed to protect for the right price. Junod could confess his love next year.
By the third winter, it was time to face facts: Ivo wasn't coming back.

Bookmarker's Notes
Ivo, as a true brother of Lambert, is a true bitter, spiteful, determined little shit who is about to fuck everyoneeeee who was gonna try it. They all enjoy it though.
Junod, after coming to terms that his love is alive, eventually uses his big boy words and confesses, but only after Ivo runs through Haern Caduch like a particularly angry train. He lovingly wrecks his little bear's shit.

Bookmarker's Notes
Cute, short, hilarious pick-me-up. Somehow a character study of Lambert in just 1993 words, executed through fight-flirting. Because he's a little fucking goblin, and doesn't know how to flirt with hot guys (or anyone, really) without antagonizing them on sight. And hoo boy is that a Mood.
Or: Lambert fistfighting a line cook in an attempt to make this Waffle House a Waffle Home.

Best portrayal of Omega Geralt and Alpha Jaskier, hands down, and done without compromising either of their personalities and avoiding shitty tropes. Just please-let-me-love-you meeting huh-what-now.

Summary
When a cocktail waitress propositions Dean and wants Cas to watch, it's the beginning of what will become a habit involving several other people - and maybe something more?
Excerpt:
They don’t talk about it during the walk back to the motel, which isn’t far away. Dean is making sure to keep at least a few inches between them as they walk, but he can’t help but glance at Cas every now and then to make sure things didn’t get weird between them. He can’t stand the thought of losing over a decade of friendship over… whatever the hell it was that just happened. Cas seems perfectly fine, however, meeting Dean’s gaze with ease; Dean would even say there’s an almost secretive smile on his face that Dean could swear wasn’t there before, and it’s… good to see. -

Bookmarker's Notes
On a Sunday, he jams the gun against the base of my spine and says, "Do you want to take it up the ass?"
I think about what would happen if that gun went off, my guts being ripped out at close range. It's probably exactly what I deserve and exactly what Tyler won't do. "Yeah," I say, "I guess I do."

Summary
It was a secret they never acknowledged even with each other. It would change everything, end everything if either of them ever dropped the act. So they became very good at acting, at keeping up the lie that gave them what they wanted. Even if that lie involved constantly seeking out temporary, consenting female vessels, Cas would do it. He told himself it was worth it for Dean. He just hoped that he could stop wanting more, or maybe one day Dean might stop pretending that he wasn't really sleeping with Cas every time.

The area's grey in a 1-2-3-wayAfter solving a case with Cas, a very grateful almost-victim proposes a threesome. Dean figures it's fine, because if there's a chick there, it's not gay, right? And if it becomes kind of a thing they do, and the chick asks them do a bit more, it's still fine, right?
