Nasir draws down the slope of his nose, careful not to tickle in case it should wake the slumbering gladiator. He counts silent time as highest blessing, when Agron can not shy away from such attentions.

Summary
He was absolutely gorgeous. He was even taller than I had originally thought, looking ridiculously attractive with a smirk on his face and a crazy mess of brown hair on his head. He had on a red flannel paired with destroyed black skinny jeans and biker boots and I know right away that this is the type of boy i should stay away from. His eyes are relaxed, staring hungrily at something with obvious lust in his eyes.
His dark and dangerous aura is striking and I immediately want to look away, but his gaze holds mine. He slowly mouths the words, “Come here.” And I look around and behind me to see who he’s talking to, but there’s no one else paying attention. When I look back at him, he’s smirking, a glint of humor dashing through his eyes. “Yeah, you.” He mouths, and I’m pretty sure he means me.
I can honestly say that I didn't know what I was getting into when I decided to hang out with my brother's old Fraternity friends.

Bookmarker's Notes
“I would like to have your bite,” he says with determination, meeting Yoongi’s gaze.
Yoongi, on the other hand, can only stare, wide-eyed, unable to make sense of the words.
A shadow of uncertainty flickers across Namjoon’s open face.
“I know it is not how things are done among yangban,” he acknowledges. “But… I do not wish for our bond to be one-sided. You are not my property - you are my mate. And I want everyone to see it with their own eyes.”
It is a promise. A vow to never take another lover, to be faithful to Yoongi and respect their marriage. To not be parted from him, to the best of his abilities.

by Aerlalaith
Wangxianficrecs post here. (Archived, 2 works.)This. Is. AMAZING. I'm so bowled over, and I spent at least 20 minutes crying while I should have been up and cooking dinner, and I just got sucked in SO HARD, and all the FEELS and the anguish and the love asdkfsdaldkjf!
In which Lan Wangji drifts in and out of awareness after his whipping and slowly clocks A-Yuan, who has been sneaking into his room. But mostly he is drowning in pain and grief and hopelessness, so A-Yuan just stays there, at the fringes of his thoughts, mostly just reminding him painfully of Wei Wuxian and the aching emptiness he left behind him. Until lwj learns that A-Yuan is to be given away to a couple in Caiyi Town.
This story is on par with To be of use by Erisette and, on a slightly less devastating scale, no new age by everythingispoetry. It's definitely a favorite, and I could just roll around in another 70k words of it. I don't know if author is planning to do more than just these 2 works... I'd be delighted if so, but am fully satisfied with what I've got. Ah, I've been through the wringer in the best way. I love it.

“What are they?”
“Things,” the boy says, cocking his head slightly to the side. “Dangerous things.”
Mark swallows. His heart hasn’t slowed, like it knows more than his mind, his eyes. “And what are you?”
The boy smiles. It’s a childish expression, young and unpracticed, but so pretty it hurts to look at, made for stronger eyes, a stronger being. “What am I?”
Mark asks again. “What are you?”
“A thing,” the boy says. “A dangerous thing.”

Summary
Seokjin sits cross-legged on his home couch. He takes a sip of whiskey in a wine glass, pinky slightly lifted, and lets out a gusty sigh of satisfaction. He turns to face the camera; his eyes flash conspiratorially.
“I’m Seokjin, but you can call me Jin. I’m the most handsome guy you’ll ever meet.”
He winks.
(A Queer Eye AU where at first, nobody is quite sure why Kim Seokjin, self-proclaimed Worldwide Cutie Guy and a handsome, successful office manager, has been nominated for the show, until the Fab 5 actually meet him.
Starring Seokjin as the client/hero, Yoongi as the flower-shop owner love interest, Namjoon as the culture expert, Hoseok as the grooming expert, Jimin as the design expert, Taehyung as the fashion expert, and Jungkook as the food/wine expert.)

Summary
Here in the South Downs cottage, Crowley has more than he ever thought he would: the two of them, safe, and he gets to live alongside Aziraphale every day. He still can't bring himself to say it, though, still finds himself wanting, doesn't want to drag the angel down with the mess of his love, doesn't want to ruin what they have.
Aziraphale, however, is getting tired of Crowley staring longingly off into the night sky, and confronts him.
There is more of a balance here than Crowley thought.
***
The angel smiles. That crinkling kindness, that laugh in the corner of him, bright and deathless and pure, and Crowley’s resolve is melting. Aziraphale does remove his glasses now, fingers brushing his temples, folds them into his own pocket, pocketing Crowley’s last defense. Neither of them looks away. The night sounds clutter around them, the sway of elderly oak branches, the gentle scuttle of a village turning itself into bed, reinventing for the next day, the caw and croon of things with feathers, searching for love. A knowing hum in an ancient throat, leaning in.

“Are—are you trying to say you’re okay with it? Kissing me in a fucking music video?”
Patrick sounds horrified at the very notion of it. Pete does his best to not feel personally offended. “Just calm down, man, it’s really not a huge deal—”
“Not a huge deal? Pete, it’s a kiss!”

“Interesting,” Patrick said. He was pretty sure Travie was choking behind him, but Elisa was somewhere and knew the Heimlich so Patrick wasn’t particularly worried. “Can I help you?”
Wentz seemed undeterred because he dropped the hand Patrick still hadn’t shaken and charged forward.
“I’m launching my spring line in February,” he said. “My bakery caterer dropped out. I know your website said two months for large custom orders, but if you could do it in a month, I’ll pay double. You have great reviews and I’m a little desperate.”

Summary
Jungkook really didn't want to be here.
Not when he was supposed to be helping his father with the pack and training to be the strongest Alpha ever.
How was enrolling him and Yugyeom in some werewolf academy/University/whatever shit it was, going to ‘help him grow’ as his father had told him?
Jungkook was sure that that was a code for him ‘to get laid and enjoy life a bit’, since his old man always insisted that he should find himself a ‘cute little Omega to fuck’.
That perv.
Now, instead of fighting potential enemies, Jungkook was stuck in this shitty place, fending off horny Omegas, dealing with their pathetic jealous Alpha boyfriends while constantly running into that broad-shouldered Beta with intriguing eyes, who did nothing, but infuriate him most of the time.
