Summary
Mazel held out the dagger. "It's yours," she whispered, handing more than just some carved lyrium to her lover.
"As is Ghilan'nain," he and Spite ground out, their voice equally high and low, eyes lit a deep purple. Then Lucanis' posture softened, stepping closer into her space. His free hand held the back of her head, and Mazel could see the tears in his deep brown eyes. As wide and focused as ever, and she tried to keep up her brave face. "And I am yours," he whispered.

Super short. Spoilers! Character "death" referenced in first paragraph!
Otherwise, just full of feelings. This is my last (for now) based on the battle of Tearstone Island.Series

Summary
They had been at it for what felt like hours. Bellara using a mirror as a makeshift eluvium, Emmrich searching the Fade for some glimmer of Rook. Some hint of life or shadow of a heartbeat, Lucanis couldn't begin to understand the magic, he barely understood the sanctum they lived in.
And her, he'd need a lifetime to understand her. Beautiful, strong, infuriating her - "MAZEL, OURS, GO GET HER!" - Lucanis pushed Spite down for the hundreth time, thousandth even, since waking. He was tempted to do exactly that, but he knew he'd only get in the way. All he could do was watch, and struggle against the base instinct rioting within.
He had to believe he'd get that lifetime with her.
-*-
Saving Rook, at the end of the regret-prison. Lucanis has a lot of emotions, but Spite has more hope.
So many narrative opportunities missed, so little time, am'i right, fellow Authors?

Indulgent smut without plot unless you squint hard. Enjoy!

The Game Plan by FestiveFerret, pouringinsheets

Summary
Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.
No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.

Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?
