Summary
"It wasn’t that he feared rejection or the lack of interest from Jing Qi, not anymore. It wasn’t a game to him either, it was something more than simple curiosity, too, after all; Wu Xi could understand this much now. He knew that if he kept this up, there would eventually come a day where Jing Qi would be ready to choose him above anyone and anything else.
What he could not comprehend, however, and what he was truly scared of, was the enormity of his own desire — the answers to questions of where it came from, how much power it had over him, what he was capable of because of it."
---
or: After his drunken love confession, Wu Xi is having a hard time keeping his feelings at bay. Jing Beiyuan is, of course, very happy to scheme his way throughout it all.

Summary
“You think I’m Kira,” Light says, voice tight.
“I know you’re Kira,” L replies calmly. “I just haven’t proven it yet.”
“So why haven’t you turned me in?”
L’s voice is barely above a whisper. “Because that would mean losing you.”
Light freezes.
“...That’s not how this works,” he says, too quickly. “We’re not—this isn’t a relationship.”
“No,” L agrees. “It’s an investigation. Into intimacy. Complicity. Divinity. Madness.”
“You’re quoting Kierkegaard at me.”
“You’re quoting your bedroom eyes at me.”
Or, how justice handcuffed itself to a tragedy and called it intimacy.

The Journal of Aurelia Cassian by HoneySickle47
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls

Summary
She came to Skyrim with twenty septims, a dagger, and far too much confidence.
Aurelia Cassian is eighteen, stubborn, sarcastic, and completely unprepared for the blood-soaked chaos waiting beyond Cyrodiil’s border. She thought she’d find adventure. Instead, she finds wolves, frostbite, bandits, necromancers, unpaid labor, morally dubious bards, and a chair by the fire if she’s lucky. So...kind of the same!
These are her journal entries—recorded every day without skipping a beat—as she tries to survive a land that seems determined to break her. What begins as the overconfident ramblings of a would-be adventurer slowly becomes something more: a record of scars, choices, victories, and the uncomfortable, unstoppable process of becoming someone powerful.
She doesn’t know she’s the Dragonborn. She just wants to make it through the week without dying, crying, or punching a noble in the teeth.
She might fail on all three.
But at least she'll look damn good doing it. -

Summary
“I’m gonna be honest, baby boy, I hope you were planning for a better identity reveal than a silly candid camera. For example…you, me, a bottle of Chardonnay and a beach somewhere in Costa Rica, living the life, and then-“
“I thought you knew!”
Wade gapes, jaw wide open. No, wait, rewind: Peter wasn’t trying to hide his identity, he’s had no real reason to in a while. Wade was. The ability to verbalize such primal realization surprises even himself, but he allows himself little time to wallow in it and its consequences. He swallows.
“You thought I-“
“And we were doing some identity porn roleplay bit!”
...
No, okay, never mind, start gaping again.

A silly litte idea I hallucinated after waking up and then mosty forgot. Also in comic form on tumblr (links in notes)

Summary
The Fifth murder that leaves no magical trace.
When Auror Draco Malfoy is assigned to investigate a series of unnaturally clean deaths, he knows something doesn’t fit. No signs of magic. No spellwork. Just the unmistakable feeling that whatever's behind it was never meant to be found. Then the Department of Mysteries assigns him a partner—Hermione Granger, of all people—and the case fractures wide open.
What begins as a forensic puzzle becomes something else entirely: a reckoning with bloodlines, the legacy of silence, and the alchemy of grief.
A slow-burn investigative mystery about what we inherit, what we erase, and what remains when the magic runs out.
Draco POV heavy. Dual POV from Chapter 2 onward. For readers who like atmosphere, margin-note tension, and a mystery that doesn’t blink first.
🐍 Draco Malfoy is cold, clinical, and haunted by legacy—an heir unraveling the quiet violence his bloodline buried, one unspoken truth at a time.
📚 Hermione Granger is sharp, restrained, and unrelenting—a mind built for precision and a heart she swore to guard, until this case breaks both.

"i like watching you this way. i can see the passion. the eagerness to learn. not many are like you, mek. i'm not like you either."
"but you are now, sir," mek intervenes, catching dech's fall, never too late or too early, just the perfect timing, just when dech believes he doesn't want to be a devotee of fairytale endings and better beginnings—he's now, again, under this enchanting spell, this dizzying stupor—of mek and everything about him.
or a young master who falls for the boy teaching him muay thai—softly, word by word, paper on paper, touch by touch, against the lines that divide them.

Summary
Hermione Granger is thirty-seven, married, and vanishing by inches.
In a Ministry built on glass ceilings and half-kept promises, she spends her days archiving the past and erasing herself. Her nights are quieter still—tea gone cold, birthdays forgotten, a marriage that functions only in muscle memory. But when she’s reassigned to a forgotten preservation initiative—and partnered with Draco Malfoy, of all people—the stillness begins to shift.
Their connection starts in margin notes. Quiet corrections. A shared language of theory, silence, and gaze. He doesn’t ask questions. He listens. He sees her.
What follows is not a romance in the way we’re told to want it. It’s slower. Stranger. A fire built beneath floorboards. A life rewritten through letters, glances, and the sacredness of choosing yourself.
This is a story about desire without spectacle, intimacy without performance, and what it means to be seen and wanted for who you are when no one is watching.
