My Night with the King of Thieves by heartboundhex

Summary
"No running away this time." Ganondorf drawled, leaning his head closer to the boy.
Link swallowed, throat tight, summoning the courage to say something—anything—in reply. But words were failing him; he thought for sure his heart would leap out of his chest.
"I wondered how long it would take before I saw you again," Ganondorf continued in a low voice, daring to gently cup the boy's jaw—forcing the prince to look up at him. "You look different without the costume."
Link let out a shaky breath, the mist of it hanging briefly in the air between them. He thought he saw a flash of amusement cross those golden eyes, but maybe he imagined it.
"I never meant to deceive you," Link finally whispered, his eyes wide and pleading.
"And yet, here you are," Ganondorf breathed, still holding his face. "A prince."
Rated M for language, smut (explicit), and BL.
Story is ongoing, check for updates daily! I try and upload 1-3 times a week.
Chapter 16 has some fanart I sketched of Link and Ganondorf. 🖤

Summary
Spencer Reid has been bullied all his life. His genius has always set him apart from others, his abilities cause fear and resentment and the resulting social ineptitude has meant friendship has only ever been a theoretical concept for him. He has always needed to care for himself, teach himself, advocate for himself, protect himself and figure things out for himself.
Until now.
Aaron Hotchner has been building his armour all his life. He has never let anyone all the way in and no-one has ever really seen or known him, not even his ex-wife.
Until now.
When is a prank not just a prank? When it means war.
And Aaron Hotchner, Unit Chief of the BAU, has never joined in the office pranks before. Not because he's scared he'll lose, but because he knows he'll win.

Summary
Falin Touden slammed the cottage door open with a theatrical groan, potion residue still clinging to her sleeves. The day at her shop had been a nightmare- finicky mana infused brews that kept separating, a halfling who haggled over prices for twenty minutes, and a minor (controlled) explosion that charred a sleeve of her favorite robe. She kicked off her boots and stretched, realizing her husband was happily cooking inside the kitchen. Her eyes narrowed as she decided to wreck him...

Summary
Everyone breaks eventually. Damian has spent years proving that. Then he meets Avery — a crisis negotiator who doesn't beg, doesn't scream, and tells him he's predictable over a cup of badly brewed tea.
Damian expected a victim. He got an equal.
Now the handcuffs are on, the windows are sealed, and the only thing unraveling faster than Damian's control is Damian himself. Avery could run. He could destroy him with a single word. He stays instead.
A psychological drama about two people who were supposed to be enemies and became something else entirely. No smut. No Stockholm syndrome. Just silence, tension, and the slow, terrifying process of letting someone see you.

Summary
Until she met Carol, Therese didn’t know what love was.
Carol, on the other hand, knew exactly why she should stay away from her.Therese was too young, too innocent—still untouched by the kind of deep longing Carol carried inside her.
Carol was the opposite: a woman with complications, secrets, and enemies.And so, no matter how much it hurt, Carol knew she should let Therese go.
Because some encounters are not meant to happen—especially when wanting someone feels more dangerous than letting them go.But wanting someone is not the same as choosing them.
And for Carol, resisting Therese was the hardest thing she had ever done.The question was—could she actually do it?
