Summary
Written for the Moony's Midlife Crisis Fest 2025
“I did the charm earlier to check. I'm ovulating.” She pretended not to notice the panic that flickered in his eyes before he, too, began to shine with excitement.
After months of planning and researching and dreaming, Remus and Tonks prepare to try for another baby.
Prompt I24: Soft cocks! Anything, really, that includes soft penises and intimacy and domesticity of it - not strictly connected to dysfunction but could be if an author wants it to. I would prefer a sexual context, but it could be non-sexual as well, mainly looking for connection and vulnerability and lighthearted communication.

Summary
Angels were never supposed to love. It was against their very nature. They were only meant to watch and protect from their paradise in the clouds. When Lucifer rebelled, falling in love with humanity, the system fell apart. Love never seemed possible for those with large, elegant wings. But suddenly, all around, the ethereal creatures were falling, their once blindingly white wings crumpled, decaying, and turning black. Those who fell were condemned, only some being fortunate enough to keep the broken frames of their wings. Most were left with burned, blistering wounds on their back, where their most-prized possessions used to protrude from. They acted as painful reminders. And warnings. Warnings to others who hadn’t fallen not to repeat those mistakes.
The Fallen were greedy. No longer tied down by the rules of Heaven, they grew intense. They loved, and they loved hard. Almost obsessively so. Some grew so obsessed with love, more so than they once had been. The Fallen were missing a piece of themselves, and many looked for love to fill that gap. It was messy and often ended in gruesome ways. -

Summary
Izuku and Katsuki had known each other once. If you'd asked Izuku at the time, he would have told you that Kacchan was his absolute best friend in the entire world. He would have told you that Kacchan and him were going to stay together forever. That they'd move to Tokyo together like they always talked about on those days they'd spent sitting at Izuku's desk doing their middleschool homework. That, once they were in Tokyo, they'd finally be carefree, Katsuki would be safe and Izuku wouldn't have to worry about him anymore.
If you were to ask Izuku about him now, he would tell you that Bakugou Katsuki died at the age of 13 and that he would no longer speak on the subject. He'd tell you to leave him alone. He'd tell you to fuck off.
----
Or a story in which Bakugou Katsuki had abusive parents and decided to run away from home. Leaving Izuku with only a vague note that told him not to look for him anywhere and to just forget about him. And in which Izuku is in fact not able to forget about the most important person of his life, but very much tries to. Which, maybe would have worked for him eventually, if it weren't for the fact that they both meet again in a random bar in Tokyo, ten years later. -

Summary
When quiet editor Jeon Wonwoo returns to Seoul for a temporary project after six years of a peaceful coastal life in Busan, he doesn’t expect to cross paths again with Kim Mingyu, a photographer whose work—and presence—once lingered in his memory longer than reason allowed. Assigned to collaborate on a photo-essay book capturing everyday lives in extraordinary light, the two find themselves navigating the blurred lines between distance and intimacy, silence and meaning.
What begins as a professional reunion slowly unfolds into something far more personal, told in quiet glances, unspoken understanding, and moments too tender to name. As the project nears its end, so does their borrowed time...unless one of them dares to ask the other to stay. -

If Nick Cutter could say one thing about Amelia Rogers, it was that she was clever. And when you were dealing with Anomalies, clever was definantly a factor you wanted on your team.
Takes place over the course of the first season.
I’ve posted and rewritten a few times. This will be the last rewrite. As a writer I’ve grown a-lot and this is a reflection of that growth, and will make the story better overall. Happy to revisit this story and give it the love it deserves.

I do not give any permission for this fic or any of my other fics and writing to be stolen and used for any AI. I do not condone AI’s use in any form of writing or art.

Vi sat up straighter, a warning bell in her chest.
Sevika turned her gaze directly on her. “So I spoke to Caitlyn.”
The room froze.
Claggor blinked. Ekko stopped pretending to sleep. Jinx sat up, slow and sharp.
Vi laughed once, bitter and bright. “No. Nope. Fuck, no.”
or vi is the frontwoman of a band on a faulty tour and caitlyn is her ex, and just maybe her saving grace.
