Summary
Four months of Gideon Nav's life in which she sees Harrow once and thinks about her a lot, sees Ianthe a lot and punches her once, breaks up with her girlfriend, experiences the complete and total agony of being in love, survives being in a bridal party, wears some silly outfits, and deals with some punk rock parental issues. Probably not in that order.
(And one month where everything is mostly wonderful.)
Prequel/Companion fic to Not Quite Shining.

Summary
Gideon Nav is the defensewoman New York needed, although she prefers defensebutch, thanks. Six feet of absolute dynamite on the ice, with a weapons-grade slapper and smothering shutdown play. And she's finally free, a year ahead of you-know-who in the draft. Her sophomore season is everything she could have asked for.
Then they play the new expansion team in Denver, and who else but four-foot-nothing Harrowhark Nonagesimus lays the highlight reel hit of the year on her at the blue line.
Gideon wants payback, and soon.

Summary
Shane Hollander is not, by any means, supposed to be a poet. It was never in the image that he had slowly chiseled and etched throughout his life, a sculptor carving the marble statue of his perfect future self. Never, in any of his careful, precise whittles and scores, did poetry appear. Not when he was shaping his jawline, or molding the set of his shoulders, or threading the ridges of his veins. No one practical, when thinking up a career for themselves, produces ‘poet’ as a prospect.
In some ways, however, poetry has always been a piece of Shane. A piece of who he was before, a piece of who he is now, and a piece of who he's always been, the marble figure which was waiting to be freed from its slab all along.
If only he could display this true marble statue of who he is, the poet, where he wanted, in what pose he wanted. No, instead he had to be hired by Ilya Rozanov as his little entertainer so he could pose him instead.
or:
Ilya, a rich model who's desperate to impress some artsy girl he's trying to fuck, hires Shane, a broke poet who's a little pretentious about his literary work, to be his private poet for parties.

Summary
Nothing feels right or good. Not the weight of his pads or the glide of his skates over fresh ice. Not the crispness of the rink air or the roar of a sold out Montreal crowd. Not his teammates’ triumphant shouts when he sinks a goal or cool water in his throat after a hard workout or well wishing texts from his parents before every game. It’s all just… faded.
Grey.
Empty.
Shane doesn’t know how to bring color back into his life. Not when he leeched it out himself with every step he took away from the only person who has ever truly, honestly seen him.
• • • • •
After Shane walks away, his life falls apart one piece at a time.

Summary
He hadn’t been consistently replying to Rozanov’s texts— partially because Rozanov was a flirty asshole who had probably texted hundreds of people like this throughout his short life as a man built like a Roman god, and partially because Shane was too much of a chicken to even try to flirt back. What the fuck was he supposed to say— yes, I want you inside me so much I can barely stand it and I fuck myself to sleep multiple times a week just thinking about it?
Nope, nope, nope. Embarrassing, desperate, too clingy to fathom. There was no fucking way Shane’s emotions could be set loose like that on Ilya fucking Rozanov.
But fuck— he didn’t want the texts to stop. He had to say something.

Or, Shane and Ilya dabble in sexting.

Summary
Essek had a problem. A human shaped, red haired, annoyingly sharp problem that had been tormenting him ever since Caleb had become a grad student at the Marble Tomes Conservatory.
His solution to that problem, in hindsight, had been incredibly foolish. But how was he to know that after hours of searching the internet for the perfect video that he could take himself in hand to, letting himself imagine that he was the lavender skinned tiefling between the anonymous pale thighs — he would meet Mollymauk in all his ostentatious glory the next evening, wrapped around Caleb’s shoulders.
What follows is Essek’s slow descent into the chaos that is the Mighty Nein’s friend group, and the tangle of feelings that comes from having a crush on your brightest student who you have watched be thoroughly railed by a very very pretty tiefling online.
Or; A Professor, a Prodigy, and a Pornstar walk into a bar …

Summary
Essek Thelyss comes to Soltryce to deliver guest lectures and, on the side, cultivate the brand new Archmage of Domestic Protections. He’s hoping that Caleb Widogast will oblige him by picking up his predecessor’s interest in conspiring to steal Luxon beacons, after so rudely murdering Da’leth mere weeks before the culmination of their schemes.
Essek is prepared for espionage. He is not prepared to find a love that will change the course of his life.

Summary
In the handful of months that have gone of Essek's first semester at Tidepeak University he's managed to create quite the reputation for himself. His perfect score at the entrance exam already offering some aid in that, plus the perk of rooming by himself in the dorms.
That is until a human man by the name Caleb Widogast seems intent to slot himself into his otherwise mostly solitary world. If not for his intelligence and talent Essek would have outright refused- or is it perhaps the warmth, openness and complexity that makes him want to keep Caleb around?

“Aren’t you supposed to resist temptation?”
“It’s fine, I’ll say three Hail Marys in the morning.”Father Dekarios offers salvation.
Astarion just needs a warm meal.

Summary
Asra stops every 50 paces or so to inspect shells embedded in the sand. The ones he likes, he holds in front of Faust’s snout for her inspection. The ones she likes, he tucks into a side pocket of his satchel. Most are fragments of the whole shell, their sibling pieces scattered into the endless sea, much like Asra’s unsavory memories of his time on Ash Beach. Most, he chooses to discard, forget.
He lags behind to run his fingertips along one of the old pine pillars supporting the boardwalk. There is an image carved into the wood here. It appears to be a long tube with a triangle at the end, but the carver’s intention was to depict a snake. Asra’s left hand remembers.
“Do you resent this place?” asks Julian, neutrally. He shifts his weight from foot to foot.
Asra trails his fingers down, catching them on a few blunt splinters of wood before he shoves his hands in his pockets. A silence hangs in the air, cut through only by the peaceful rolling of the waves.
“...I feel nothing at all.”
In which Julian’s heart gets broken, and Asra’s splits in two.

Summary
The Empire is winning the war. In the wake of his master's death, Volstrucker Bren ascended to Archmage of Civil Influence, but he's been secretly undermining the Empire by feeding intelligence to the Mighty Nein, a group of adventurers fighting for peace. When his rival and friend the Shadowhand is captured, Bren acts on the only idea that will spare a Kryn politician from execution: claiming him as a war prize.
Bren and Essek are forced to perform a fake politican/concubine relationship, including all the tension and jingoism it entails, while taking advantage of their circumstances to spy on and steal from the court around them. Bren may wield the leash, but Essek has cards up his sleeve, and even so, Bren fears hurting Essek almost as much as Essek fears losing Bren. Their mutual trepidation must graduate to mutual trust — maybe even love — if they have any hope of surviving the lie they started.

Summary
Caleb Widogast does not belong here.
The world of sharp suits, board meetings, and billion dollar budgets is a far cry from Caleb’s preferred domain: the research lab. Where nobody cares about his faded T-shirts and raggedy jeans. But a year of industry experience will look good on his CV, and the hefty pay bump wouldn’t hurt either. How hard could a secretary gig be?
What he finds behind the glittering edifice of Auriga, Wildemount’s leading name in arcane technology, is CEO Essek Thelyss, who maintains his domain with an acid tongue and an iron fist. It’s difficult not to find him intriguing, this handsome, guarded, brilliant man. It’s even more difficult not to want to please him.
Caleb knows to keep it professional, though. Working late nights together at the office and lingering glances here and there don’t cross the boundaries of propriety.
That is, until they do.
Or: the one where Essek Thelyss loses focus and has a consensual workplace relationship.
Updates weekly on Mondays.

Summary
[the_shadowhand]
I would be willing to help you come up with ideas, if you want, so long as you’re willing to teach me your ways with dirty talk.
It’s… hard for me, I suppose. I never know what to say, let alone with the presence you have.[catsire]
Why Herr Shadowhand, are you flirting?[the_shadowhand]
Not intentionally. More… admiring a skill you have that I lack.Caleb is not disappointed. He’s not disappointed when they meet and The Shadowhand has the same casual fake flirty tone as his text. He’s not disappointed when they end up filming together, his feelings most definitely not returned. Caleb can live with the heat of his fixation on the other man as they, somehow, become friends beyond their work. He can handle himself just fine.
It doesn’t matter that The Shadowhand is gorgeous and brilliant besides. He likes Caleb well enough and there could be hope, if Caleb wasn’t such a fucking mess. They can be friends, and coworkers of a strange sort. It’s fine.
It’s fine.
Until it’s not.
