Title: everything in retrospect [or read on ao3]

Fandom: Honkai: Star Rail

Pairing: Cocolia/Serval, Serval & Gepard

Rating: Teen

Warning: None

Tags: Post-Canon, Pre-Canon, Canon Compliant, Grief/Mourning, Falling Out of Love, Angst

Author’s Note: The title references Metamorphoses by Ovid.

And, as usual, thanks to my partner for editing this and making it far better than it otherwise would have been.

Summary:

Belobog often felt like it belonged more to Cocolia than Serval.

More than once over the years, she had told Gepard that Cocolia won the city in the divorce—except there was simply nowhere else for Serval to go. So she stayed.

『Or, despite her protests, Serval is commissioned to make a statue to commemorate Cocolia.』

Author’s Note: The title references Barns Courtney's "Hollow."

Summary:

“I’m pleased you could meet with me tonight,” Ainosuke says, bowing politely. “Sakurayashiki Calligraphy comes highly recommended. I look forward to discussing the proposal with you over dinner.”

Kaoru’s mouth purses in displeasure. “Unfortunately, I believe you will be disappointed.”

“Why is that?”

“I only came to give my answer in person,” Kaoru says. “I intend to decline.”

『Or, Ainosuke has a professional proposal for Kaoru.』

Author’s Note: this piece was written for the plantwood reverse bang! the story is based on these gorgeous artworks and the alternate universe created by weiyi_swy! i am so grateful that they let me play with their world. ♥

and, as usual, thanks to my partner for editing this and making it far better than it otherwise would have been.

Summary:

“I see you looking at my brother,” Knives says, apropos of nothing and in a tone that makes it clear that there’s an unspoken ‘too much.’

Wolfwood’s pulse kicks up a notch. Of all the scenarios he thought this might lead to, Knives wanting to have a heart-to-heart did not register on the list.

He tries his best to seem nonchalant, but he can feel the tip of his tail flick nervously against the wall behind him. “Yeah, and what of it?”

“His preferences have always been…unfortunate.”

『Or, the one where Wolfwood is a wolf hybrid and Vash and Knives have wings.』

Title: against all evidence [or read on ao3]

Fandom: Nu: Carnival

Pairing: Rei & Yakumo, Huey/Rei, mentioned Eiden/Rei, background Eiden/Yakumo

Rating: Teen

Warning: None

Tags: Canon Compliant, Missing Scene, Science Experiments, Trust Issues, Angst, Kissing, Huey was not a nice man, Unhealthy Relationships

Author’s Note: This was written for the Multifandom Match prompt “innocence and/or experience.” The story is set ambiguously sometime after the Rei H scene. If anything conflicts with information in the game, please just assume it’s canon divergence.

And, as usual, thanks to my partner for editing this and making it far better than it otherwise would have been. I also owe thanks to TheInsaneFox for beta reading and Team Angst for cheering me along!

Summary:

Rei could barely hold the golden needle any longer by the time Huey walked in. He was too caught up in the pain he wrought upon himself and—far better, the success of holding a small chip of his own gemstone in the center of his palm—to notice Huey’s essence approaching.

“What do we have here?”

“Master,” Rei said. He closed his hand, hiding the evidence.

But it was too late, Huey’s sharp eyes already latched onto his ear.

『Or, because of his past experiences with Huey, Rei believes the worst of Eiden—even when Yakumo tries to convince him otherwise.』
