a winter solstice like no other
summary - exchanging on winter solstice gifts leads to new revelations
pairing - azriel x reader
word count - ~2k
It was the night before Winter Solstice.
The house was full of laughter and love as faeโs alike drank mulled wine and snacked on Christmas puddings.
There was an air of happiness that hadnโt been around for the longest time. It was peaceful and comforting. Family was important sound this time of year and you were glad you had a good one to spend it with.
You were quite happily sitting in the corner sofa, tucked under a blanket you had knitted, drinking hot cocoa whilst the others danced near the log burning fire.
โMind if I sit here?โ
You turned to see Azriel ask you for a seat next to you.
โOf course. You donโt have to ask, Az.โ You smiled at him, pulling the blanket back so he could sit down.
His large frame took up most of the rest of the sofa, so you threw the blanket over the top of you to keep you nice and warm.
โHow are you enjoying this yearโs Winter Solstice?โ He asked you.
โBetter than last year.โ
Last year had been a truly sad one for you; spending it alone in a home that wasnโt even yours anymore. The war had taken everything from you, but in return it gave you this wonderful family and more than several places to call home.
It was Azriel who had found you cold and alone, and it was Azriel who took you to his family when you need people the most.
Everyone had warmly greeted you.
You had never expected to find another family.
And you certainly had never thought youโd find your mate because of it.
But here Azriel was. Your mate.
Your mate who didnโt know he was yours.
Every moment you spent close to him, you wondered how he couldnโt possibly feel the magic that you felt for him. His eyes didnโt light the same for you as yours did for him, which is the only way you knew he didnโt know yet.
You didnโt want to force him into something that he wasnโt ready for, though. Especially when he clearly had some feelings for Elain.
The three brothers and three sisters seemed destined to be, and yet you had mated to Azriel. There was almost an element of being terrified that youโd ruined a natural order if you accepted the bond between you and Azriel when Elain was right there.
โPresent time!โ Cassian cheered, breaking you from your thoughts.
Cassian jumped over the back of the sofa to land next to his mate; Nesta.
โYou imbecile.โ Nesta punched him when he knocked the wine in her hands onto her leggings.
โI love you too.โ Cassian kissed her head in return, making everyone chuckle.
Everyone had their presents under the tree already, but you had left yours upstairs just because you didnโt want to intrude on their space.
You pulled the blanket off you and stood up, Azrielโs hand catching you and making you jolt with electricity.
โYou okay?โ He asked, looking concerned.
โYes.โ You chuckled at his worry, โJust going to get some things. Save me a seat.โ
โI will.โ He let go of your hand and you went off.
Your room was tucked in a small corner of the house, as you didnโt want to take up too much room. A lot of the rooms had already been taken so there wasnโt much choice, but your room was beautiful nonetheless.
It overlooked the mountains of Velaris and into the valley below. If you ever needed a reminder of how lucky you were, all you had to do was look out your window.
You picked up your presents in your room, collecting them in your arms. You tried to juggle them as you went to open the door, only for them to spill on to the floor and go everywhere.
โOh, Mother above.โ You mumbled, picking them all up again.
Once you had made your way downstairs, you re-entered the living room only to find your seat next to Azriel taken.
Elain had joined him.
Azriel didnโt look overly happy that she was there and he kept playing with a loose thread on the blanket youโd made as a distraction.
No matter, you smiled as you entered and handed out gifts to everyone.
Everyone thanked you as you passed out their respective gifts.
โYou didnโt have to do this, Y/N.โ Rhys spoke. โI havenโt been able to offer you the full wage you deserve this year.โ
โAnd youโve apologised for that countless times, Rhys. Yet, you forget you donโt charge me rent here so I donโt mind spending my wages on you and your family.โ You handed him his gift.
โWeโre your family too, remember.โ Feyre smiled and thanked you as you gave her hers.
โI know. I wake up grateful every day.โ You reshuffled the gifts to get a second for Feyre, โAnd an extra something for your birthday.โ
โYou are bad, Y/Nโฆ I told you not to.โ Feyre tutted you.
โYou deserve it.โ
โY/Ns right, darling.โ Rhys kissed Feyreโs forehead.
You wandered back to Azriel and Elain, only holding one more gift.
โOh.. Motherโฆโ You started to swear.
โWhat is it?โ Azriel asked.
โI mustโve dropped your gift on the way downstairs Az. Iโm sorry, Iโll justโฆโ
โHey, itโs fine. You can pass it me later.โ
โYou sure?โ You asked, feeling bad.
โMhm.โ He warmly smiled and leant back into the sofa.
You handed Elain her gift, before rounding the room to sit on the window seat just to the side of the room. You wouldโve sat on a sofa, but there was no room left and you were the last to join the inner circle so it only made sense.
โAre we ready?โ Cassian asked, looking around the room. โThen letโs go!โ
Everyone began unwrapping, oohing and awwing over their gifts.
โY/N..!โโ Rhys laughed.
You smiled brightly as you noticed Rhys had opened his gift. You knew that he had been complaining that his feet had been getting so cold recently, so you had decided to knit him some slipper socks. They were in a gorgeous black with silver blobs that were meant to look like stars.
โAre they okay?โ You asked shyly.
This was your first year of gift giving and you didnโt want to do it wrong.
โPerfect! Thank you.โ
โYouโre very welcome. Just a tiny thank you for helping me this past year.โ
โYou know we donโt need your thanks, Y/N, but youโre welcome anyways.โ
As they continued opening presents and you opened yours, everyone was grateful and happy. Cassian was miffed that he got gag-gifts, but then again he hadnโt bought anything serious for anyone else.
You got to your gift from Azriel and stopped before you could tear, setting it to the side.
You looked up to Azriel and he was frowning at you, possibly thinking you didnโt care to open his gift. You gave him your kind eyes before he could think further.
โIโll wait for you.โ You mouthed across the room.
He smiled and nodded in agreement.
His gaze was broken from you as Elain nudged him to open her gift for him.
He slowly unwrapped the gift and everyone stopped to see what had made him gasp.
He slowly pulled out a Sapphire gem. A real and rare one. It was a gem that was meant to fit perfectly into his Truthteller blade.
โW-wow.โ He raised his eyebrows in shock.
โI saw it the other day and just knew it was for you!โ Elain giggled.
โThis is far too much.โ He shook his head.
โOh pleaseโฆ Itโs barely anything.โ
You gulped at the site. If Elain thought that was nothing then your gift for him was truly worthless.
A rare gem? There was no competition, but if there were then Elaine would have won before youโd even started.
You wished more than anything that you could afford a lovely present like that for Az, but your money was often spent elsewhere through charity or simple living bills.
Everyone looked upon the two of them carefully.
Feyre knew that Azriel was your mate because you were making yourself miserable by keeping it to yourself, which obviously meant that Rhys had to know. So they didnโt look too comfortable with the gift exchange.
Rhys was trying to contact you through his mind tricks, but you didnโt let him. Not because you didnโt care, but because you knew youโd be upset the moment he tried to console you.
Whilst Elain and Az continued to have their moment, your own heart breaking a little, you quietly made your way out of the room.
You ran upstairs as quick as you could and shut your bedroom door behind you.
Opening the window, you stuck your head outside and let out a big breath - letting everything go. You felt like you could cry, but nothing good would come of that so you tried to console yourself the best you could with the fresh air and view of Velaris below.
โYou oโโ
โMother ofโฆโ You turned around so quickly that you hit the side of your head on the glass window.
โOh Gods, Y/N!โ Az exclaimed as he shut the door behind him and ran over to you.
His hands took ahold of your face carefully, tilting your head to the side where youโd hit it. Instead of a pink mark, he noticed the tears instead.
โHey, whatโs with the tears?โ He softly asked, wiping a thumb over your soft cheek.
โSorry!โ You laughed, โItโs been a bit much today already.โ
โTell me about it.โ He answered sarcastically, before continuing. โI meanโฆ a sapphire?โ He whispered the last bit.
โOh.. Yes. That - uhm - that was very thoughtful of Elain.โ You took a step back from Azriel, wiping under your eyes.
You leant back against the windowsill and looked towards Azriel. He was carefully watching you like he didnโt quite understand something about you.
โWhat?โ You asked.
โI have something for you.โ He said, sitting back on your bed. He patted the spot next to you and you - not too eagerly - went and sat next to him.
He handed over a small blue wrapped box, as delicately wrapped as a professional would have done.
โIt better not be a sapphire.โ You joked.
โOh better give it back then.โ He tried to reach back for it, but you laughed and pulled it away. Turning back, you didnโt expect him to still be so close.
The bond inside of you was fluttering like a billion butterflies wings. You cleared your throat and looked down at the gift again, making Azriel lean back a bit.
You carefully opened it and found the box beneath the paper. It had a little infinity sign engraved in silver on the top of it.
You furrowed your eyebrows and swallowed back the growing lump at the back of your throat.
โAzโฆโ
He stayed quiet.
โT.. This is from the โBonded Matesโ gift shop.โ
โI know.โ
You gulped and turned towards him, tears in your eyes as the warmth in your chest started growing and growing. Your heart felt like it was growing three sizes and your chest was being directly pulled towards his.
โYouโฆ You know.โ You let out a soft sob.
Azrielโs tears built up in his own eyes, โI do.โ He nodded, confirming what you thought.
โAz.. For how long?โ
โSince the day I met you.โ
You let out another sob, feeling slightly more than overwhelmed right now. You nodded your head continued to look into his eyes, seeing your other half look back at you.
โYou never said. I thought you liked Elain.โ
โI must admit, even I thought I liked Elain at the very beginning, but I slowly realised I was only trying to like her for the sake of the โthree brotherโs and three sistersโ hypothesis. In reality, all I felt was a tug towards you and every day since I have tried my best to not overwhelm you because all I want to do is bond with you.โ
โYou knew! All this time.โ You cupped his cheek and he leant into it willingly.
โYeah.โ
You leaned closer to him and his face, โSo did I.โ Azriel smiled so widely at that, โAnd I accept you. For infinity.โ
โAnd I accept you, for anything and beyond infinity.โ
His lips touched yours before you could even take a breath. You chest tugged towards his and your heart felt like it was overloaded with love and power. You felt yourself literally tether to Azriel and it was quite possibly the best feeling in the world.
Before you could both get carried away you pulled back.
โWait, wait, waitโฆโ You gasped.
โWhat?โ Azriel looked concerned.
โYour gift!โ You stood up, wiping under your eyes yet again.
โOh screw the gifts.โ He tugged on your hand so you fell back on the bed, back laying flat.
Azriel creeped over you and held his weight up above you.
โAz!โ You laughed. โGet off, you big brute!โ
You tried to push him off but he was as steady as a mountain. He couldnโt be moved and you accepted your defeat with a huff and a smile, allowing him to watch you.
He was quiet for a moment, no telling why he pulled you back. It seemed like he was simple mesmerised with every detail of you.
โWhat?โ You asked.
โIโm just grateful that it was you.โ
You knew the โitโ in question was the bond and you had to gulp back another set of fresh tears.
Instead, you leaned up and kissed him again. Softly pressing your lips into his and kissing him like he deserved to be kissed. Heโd been waiting, what felt like an eternity, so might as well show him why he was made to wait all this time.
You moved back down but Azriel followed you. His arms cupped themselves over your head and encased you beneath his wholly.
He didnโt let his lips free from yours, not even for one breath. You both felt like you were each otherโs air. Azriel kissed and kissed you like he would never get to kiss you like this again, even though it was your first time.
โAz..โ You tried to pull away again.
โTry and stop me from kissing you again and see what happens.โ He warned you, and you responded by tugging his hair at the back of his neck. He moved back at the flinch of pain.
โListen to me.โ You smiled.
โNo.โ
And he leant back down to start kissing you again, moving his lips in such a way that you were starting to forget everything other than him.
You sneakily moved your hand up beneath his caged arms and attempted to capture his cheeks to stop him, but his shadows already knew your plans and caught your arm along the way. The shadows pinned your arm up behind your head and you huffed into your kiss.
โI donโt know whether to be offended that you keep wanting to get away from me, or not.โ Az stopped kissing you to speak.
โYou should. I want my gift.โ You pouted.
โOh. Do you now? Well I want to kiss my mate to make up for all our lost years, so I guess Iโll just do that instead.โ He was about to lean back down to you but his shadows held him back instead. โWhat?โ
โSeems they can listen to my thoughts now. Now stand down, Sir.โ
He didnโt get much of a choice as his shadows pulled you off him and allowed you to slip away.
โYou little demons.โ Az groaned but allowed them to anyways, because it was worth seeing the smile as your opened your gift.
It was the daintiest bracelet youโd ever seen with a tiny little dagger charm on it. You absolutely loved it and were more happy to receive this than a thousand chariots of gold.
โThank you. Put it on for me, please.โ
You held out the bracelet and your wrist to Azriel and he carefully took both and put it on. It looked perfect against your skin and Azriel couldnโt help but smile that a little part of him was worn by you.
โBeautiful.โ He said, kissing the back of your hand.
โIt is. You chose well.โ
โI honestly didnโt think this would have gone as well at it has. I was starting to think youโd never feel the bond.โ
โThe feelings mutual, darling.โ You chuckled. โNow!โ
You started rummaging around the room to find Azโs gift. You looked everywhere until you found it rolled away, tucked in a corner.
You grabbed it and walked over to Azriel. You stood in front of him as you handed it over.
โHappy Solstice.โ You smiled.
โThank you.โ He said before opening it gently, savouring the time and effort you put into the wrapping.
As he opened it, you remembered how insignificant it was compared to Elainโs gift.
โNow, I know itโs nothing too extraordinary but I know how sensitive your hands get in the cold so Iโฆโ
โYou knitted me fingerless gloves?โ Az held up the deep blue coloured gloved, the tips of the fingers missing. There was a mitten like part to it that could fold over the fingers should he wish to keep them warm.
โI know itโs not a sapphire, butโฆโ
โItโs not.โ He said and you nodded, โItโs better.โ
The smile on your face was unmistakable and he wanted to see you smile like that every damn day for the rest of your existence.
โOkay.โ You said, trying to believe him.
โNo, come here.โ He pulled on the back of your waist until you toppled into him and straddled him on his lap. โItโs better. Best gift ever and not just because it came from you. It was so thoughtful. Thank you.โ
You leant forwards to kiss his inviting lips.
And not for the last time, that was now for certain.

Are there any sonic auโs you would recommend? I am trying to find more to get into so would love to know if you have any favourites out there :D
Hello! Oh there are so many! :D I definitely have some favorites and some which aren't favs but are pretty great.
Putting these under the cut because there are so many! And there's definitely more cool AUs that I haven't seen or haven't saved.
Anyways, please enjoy my personal selection:
Seven Years Too Soon by NightFuchia. Basically what if a much younger Sonic accidentally set Shadow free from Prison Island. It has awesome characterization and happens to be one of my favorite stories. The rest of Team Sonic is also present
Brotherhood's Twist by @/drawloverlala even though I don't think it counts entirely as Au but it still sort of does. Unbreakable Bond ageswitch due to Zeti's meddling.
Passion's @sonic-tangled-au . I love it! So very much. The lore and backstories are so good.
Noonui's World Restored in Imbalanced Chaos au. Extremely engaging and good. Has a bunch of world building and fun concepts and lore.
Sonic's Super Totally Awesome Mixtape, though it seems to be discontinued, I'm not sure. It's pretty good so far! Takes place in the movie verse.
@brainworms-all-night-long is working on a Dreamtale Au which I'm hyped for. The tag in use is 'dreamtale and sonic tomfoolery'.
@/the-starlight-project comic is pretty good too. Mystery! And emotions. So many emotions ough.
And there's @the-emerald-isle-au by @0vergrowngraveyard . Very intriguing. ๐
Please do check out the Pandora Au by @/starrjoy. It's great!
The Fair Folk by Irritable_Fabulamancer, this fic is one of my favorites! Team Sonic as Fae my beloved! I love fae AUs.
On that note, if you're alright wanting to read a Fae!AU which is pretty much a sonadow fic, there is also I don't believe in fairy tales [but I believe in you and me]. Fantasy and Fae! Satbk inspired, another one that had me hooked.
My Arms Are Blue by thekyuubivixen and its unofficial, fan-continuation (My Arms Are Blue! Final Four Edition) by PlaystationPassenger. The story doesn't completely count as an AU but I'm recommending them anyway cuz they're really really good and has that watching your own show from different dimension trope. It's also hilarious and fun.
Burning Arrow, Wildfire Heart by Taranea is SatSR novelisation AU with Sonic's other friends present too, it's pretty fun. Not very accurate regarding the desert but it's a good read and I come back to reread it often. Must read in my opinion. Just don't dare use it as guide for desert travel or you'll be shriveled up in the sand somewhere
This fic. Read it, I will not elaborate this one. Just trust me :]
And don't miss out on @shadofiredragon's Legends Never Die fic. It's a future fic! And an awesome one. I won't spoil much but it is so good. She also has lots of fun AUs in the works.
Down the Foxhole series by MoonlitNightin. Sonic Prime AU series which is great! Tails' pov. The Shatterverses have their own Sonics. Engaging and great.
Feel free to check out @/Son1c's 10verse and other AUs. Those are some pretty great ones. Love the different lore and variants given to the Shatterverses in 10verse.
Spirit of the Wind by TrenchCoatGecko. Satbk inspired fantasy au. Sonamy, has focus on magic and lore and other characters as well.
If you'd like some Forces angst with Unbreakable Bond focus, please do read Illusionary are your arms around me by @nixoon-again. The feels will kill you /pos
Chaos Barren by but_why_not. I forgot to add this earlier (this is an edited addition). Takes place in the Blue Devils AU, great story!
Baby Tails shenanigans by @myymi . Tails got turned into itty bitty infant kit. (And also check @0vergrowngraveyard 'baby tails' tag for more little gremlin scenarios)
Myla is also working on @tails-and-the-ink-machine au
Feral au by Oneshot_bravo. Little short stories or drabbles taking place in Unleashed but the werehog is feral yet keeps his memories. Very lighthearted and fun and cute
Three or more foxes form a skulk by @/chiropter36 . Post Prime au fic, loved it! Go read.
Also, @donelywell 'roadtrip! sonic au' and 'Casino Nights Au'
Haven't yet started reading The Fox's Burrow by @/space-gutz but I'm planning to. Recommending it either way cuz I feel like it's gonna be good. Unbreakable Bond but ageswaped au.
@/sonicchaoscontrol comic. Another in-progress au which is also quite intriguing. Sonic jumps through a portal and exits in future where the planet is a mess. The mystery of what and how it all happened and what's going on slowly unfolds.
The Buzzsaw Dillemma by redpenship. I haven't personally read it myself but I've heard many good things about it, especially it's world building.
Incomplete and won't be updated anymore but if you haven't read them yet, DO NOT miss out on Ghosts of the Future and The Murder of Me fancomics by Evan Stanley (spiritsonic) and Gigi Deutrix (gigi-D) respectively. They're a must read. Both are available on DeviantArt.
The Heart of a Monster comic, @/the-heart-of-a-monster. It's in progress and updates regularly. Unleashed retelling, really really good with some extra lore and everyone involved.
Sometimes the Picket Fence isnโt Perfect and Sharp Edges (Sonic Prime AU) series by @/skimmingthesurfaces. I'm holding off the first one to read later, like that one book you've been saving so I'm not sure if it completely counts as an AU, still putting it in recs, and the second one is intriguing so far. I have heard a lot of good thing about the Picket Fence series.
Dark Boom by Smash50. The entirety of Team Dark in the Sonic Boom universe. Alongside it, there's also Boomtober by the same author.
It Always Snows by the 24th by Selendred had me hooked even though it's a oneshot. Great au and would love to see it explored more.
No One said I Wish by SylWritesStuff. One of my fav stories from the Sonic Platonic Fairytale Week event. It's really funny.
Sonic Phantom Forces (SPF) au comic. Sonic Forces au, blue boy gets taken away but not in the way you think, pretty cool story so far. It's in-progress and available on both Tumblr and DeviantArt. @/spfau
If Black Doom tried to be a better father by Tirainy. Don't take this one seriously. It's pure comedy and I love every second of it. Shadow is having a time for sure XD.
Silent Talkers by @brainworms-all-night-long. Takes place in the Prime Bros verse, feels intensified, all the good ones. A must read, trust me.
And speaking of the Prime Bros AU (in which all Shatterverse foxes also got adopted by Sonic and are now brothers), feel free to scroll through the 'prime bros' tag here. So many awesome posts for this particular au by everyone!
There's so many more, cool ones, epic ones. I haven't saved all and I'm probably forgetting some great ones too so I'm leaving this open for others to add. If y'all have more cool AUs, plz add to these (I wanna check em out too)
....
And now a few from the Fanfiction.net site because it doesn't have much audience compared to AO3 and there are some actual gems hidden there;
Premonition by thekiyuubivixen (not entirely an au but it feels like one due to the unique ability Sonic gains)
The Sonic Project by SconnieSA. Rated M but it's a pretty awesome AU and the rating is due to more serious themes and uncensored language in some parts. Highly recommending this one
Survivor's Resolve by DC111. Not entirely an AU but I must rec this fic it's so good and doea havs some AU vibes.
Sonic the Hedgehog: Attorney of Law by thedraconicwerewolf. Ace Attorney type AU with Sonic and Tails as main characters. Not too adventurous but very very fun and interesting and still managed to keep Sonic in character. Though it has a sequel started, I only rec the main story, not the sequal as it seems to be abandoned and isn't needed to be read like them cliffhanger stories.
beLIEve by Meow21. I have only read snippets from this, waiting for this story to continue but it seems to be discontinued. Felt like an epic story too and deserves to be recommended.
Sonic and the Golden Journey. Sonic gets thrown in another storybook, this time it's a children's classic fairytale. Short but very comedic and fun. Go read it.
Tales of a Samurai. I am begging you to read this one, please it's so good. Also by Taranea.
Wonderful and it's sequal Sanctuary by Inflamore for some Unbreakable Bond angst. (Kindly ignore the obliviousness of earlier ff.net for not knowing the meaning of certain symbols, there's nothing of the sort in story, trust me.)
Regrets by MazzyBooks. A high school au of sorts. Sonic centric with some heavy angst. I'm not kidding about the angst part, trust me. It had me hooked from the first chapter though and I believe it deserves a rec.
You need the cracks (to let the light shine through) by king.needlemouse. Istg this is the most underrated thing I've ever come across, it's one of my absolute favorite fics which I can never forget. Do read it.
Within this Nightmare by sonicfan1990. Sonic get transported to an alternate universe which has gone post apocalyptic and his counterpart in that universe has been dead. Pretty great story, lots of angst and everything.
And that's all I could remember and have saved for now. I'm leaving this open to more AU recs (yes even self plugs are welcome) so if you know any I missed, plz feel free to add. I hope you enjoy all these great AUs!
Thanks for the ask!

Zosan cat fic anthology (plus the tiger Zoro figure I had just finished making a little while ago!)
Fic links, comments and a photo of my cat below:
Having read a few zosan cat-related fics, I thought it would be really fun to make a small, cat themed zosan anthology, and here it is! To my delight, I found a paw print font (pawprints on defont) but to my annoyance it had no option to have no pawprints on the letters which made it look too busy, nor was there already a version of the font without pawprints, so for the first time I broke out fontforge to make my own version of the font in which I dropped the pawprints. I also drew little cat Zoros and Sanji's for each of the main stories title pages; bookbinding really is a good mash of different hobbies and skills I swear. Also on the mention of other hobbies, I was well pleased that I finished the book and my tiger Zoro figure relatively closely so I could take a photo of them together; here's the post for more photos of the figure and the post for the progress pics!
Also amusingly, when I originally was putting together the anthology, I had not added the second part of stay, and had assumed it would be a somewhat thinner small volume then it is... Which is rather incorrect. I do have to say it's a truly delightful proportion, being this thick and small! I'm also quite pleased at how the cover turned out, with the little gold pawprints. Originally for the title I was going to find a different name and then just went for the one I had originally named the file after, since it's well themed. Wait actually I think I was going to use ships cat and just now realized that... Ooops. Oh well. Also, as a bonus: here's my old cat hanging out on my lap while I was working on the gold foiling!
Fics include:
Stay by @itsmylifekay (NW, 21.5 k)
Sanji doesn't know what he's done in a past life to deserve this, but somehow when Zoro gets turned into a cat he's the one stuck on babysitting duty. How someone that small can cause so much trouble, he'll never understand.
But even after all the hell he's put through, he still manages to fall in love.
Without Words (NW, 3.8 k)
(stay part ii)
Sanji likes to dote on the people he cares about, likes to express himself fully and without reservation. But sometimes thatโs hard to do living on a pirate ship, especially when the person he wants to be affectionate with is a prickly, stubborn asshole of a man.
Or, Zoro gets a bath.
Cat's Cradle by Hazel_Athena (T, 21.5k)
In which a run in with a new Devil Fruit user leaves Sanji with an unexpectedly furry problem.
Ship's Cat by @helloharubo (T, 3k)
The Going Merry has a mouse infestation. Despite Usopp's attempts, Sanji has yet to find a solution to the problem. Enter Zoro, the world's deadliest mouser.
or
Zoro is the ship's cat and expects rewards.

โHarry.โ Potter said, with a filthy grin. โI think if youโre going to put your cock in me, you should get used to calling me Harry all the time.โ Draco stood up, and Potterโs eyes dropped down to his crotch. He grinned again. โKnew it. Massive erection.โ

But Steve...
Oh, he's a Prism
๐๐๐๐๐
Art for the amazing, dangerous, captivating fanfic of Prism by the impressively talented @thorniest-rose and @azrielgreen
Thank you so much for trusting the process with us, babes.
[Please, if you're curious about this fic, read under the cut, I've got an important, spicy message for you, love]
I want to tell you how sexy warning tags are. Like, they're an instant turn on, you know? All those words, a foreshadowing of what you're going to see, a cue for your own safety, and triggers and pleasures. A hint of the future, a crystal ball. Knowledge: that's so goddamn sexy.
This fic is impressive in many, many ways, and the authors know as well as I do how hot warning tags are, and that's why they made a full chapter of them.
Please, read them before you dive into this story. They're there for you to read, for you to enjoy. Treat yourself and read them. You'll do such a good job if you do, really. So good, because if you read them then you're taking care of yourself and you're being responsible and that is... god. That's even hotter.

Arcane - Eris Vanserra x Unnamed OC
Erisโs best kept secret is infiltrated.
No use of y/n
WC: 1039
Warnings: Angst, Violence
Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4
On the border between the Autumn, Winter, and Summer Courts lies Erisโs deepest secret. Kept for nearly two hundred years by powerful magic and glamour, cunning lies, careful footwork, a mask of malice, and the occasional murder, Eris was able to keep his sanctuary and mate safe from the rest of the world.ย
It was not just his power that kept her hidden from Prythian for so many years. No, her mixed parentage of high fae and strong witch blood had a heavy hand in shrouding not only their home but also their mating bond. One hundred and ninety-four years, and not even a fox had crept within a mile of their sanctuary.ย So when Eris was called before Beron at such a late hour, he had been expecting orders to assassinate another lord or courtier.
The presence of two of his brothers was unexpected, immediately setting him on edge. At one point in time, theyโd been such good boys. Bright white smiles and crooked teeth, flushed cheeks, and curly red hair as theyโd run to him. Begging for another story or to play with wooden swords. But those days were long gone, and Eris held scorching embers close to the tips of his fingers, ready to go the second this impromptu meeting would turn south, which he knew it would with the crooked smirks on their pale faces. Beronโs crown lay heavy on his wrinkling brow, and brown hair not shared with his sons lay short in a perfect wave. The permanent scowl on his face turns into a snake-like grin as Eris stands at attention before the golden throne.ย
Eris bows deeply, hand on sword, as he meets his father's eye. His peripheral watches his brothers, and as they navigate to stand on either side of him, he rises and tenses even more in preparation for whatโs to come.ย
โOver the past three weeks, Iโve sent sentries in search of new outlooks between our courts. Both Summer and Winter have pledged their allegiance to the Night Court. Spring has become a cesspool, and the vermin have been sneaking into our forests.โ The High Lord rises from the throne, clasping his hands behind his back as he takes four steps down. Four more steps, and he stands in front of his general, the wicked grin on his face remaining. Faint trickles of fear begin to travel down Erisโs spine.
โReports from the southernmost border have been as expected. The weak spots in my wards were restored, and a permanent watch was erected. The majority of the western border was as expected as well. As was the north.โ He takes three more steps, encroaching on Erisโs space until heโs only a breath away. His brothers shadow his father's steps, inching closer to pin him in place.
โBut when the sentries came to the northwest?โ Beron questions, and Erisโs blood cools to ice in his chest, his heart skipping a beat before it plumets to his stomach. He says nothing, ensuring his mask of indifference stays steady on his face. He tightens his grip on the sword at his hip.
โThey came across a ward. A strong one, very strong.โ Beron tilts his head to the side, studying Eris with intensity before he continues. โA ward not made by me. I was called to investigate, and do you know what I found?โ The cruel grin turns into a glee-filled smile as he reaches out one hand, resting it just an inch away from Erisโs face, as if he were prepared to grace his eldest son with a loving touch.ย
โI found your magic, my son. Mixed with the scent of a lesser fae.โ Silence falls. It was all he needed to say. Eris knewโhe knewโthat if Beron had managed to discover the glamour, his next step would have been to break it. To discover what his son had hidden from him in his own court. To discover who had assisted in erecting such magic. The grip on his sword was impossibly tight as he dropped part of his glamour and pulled. The smoky scent of the mating bond fills the room because, after two hundred years, the secret is out. Two hundred years, and heโd never taken the risk of invoking the bond within a hundred miles of this house, of his father. But Beron knew, and if Beron knewโ
She doesnโt respond to his call. He canโt feel her.
He acts first, taking quick steps back away from his father and freeing his sword in less than a second. He holds it at the ready, swallowing deeply as he works past his fear to ask.
โDoes she live?โ Beron laughs, clapping his hands together as if Erisโs fear was the funniest thing heโd ever seen.
โDoes she?โ His father directs his attention toward his second-born son. The glint in his eye is nothing short of evil, and his stance is all too casual as he examines his nails. He simply shrugs his shoulders in response, and with that, Eris leaps to action. With just a few quick steps, he raises his sword and brings it down on his brother's neck.ย
Two seconds pass as his head hits the ground. His father stands still, shocked into silence, while his remaining brother begins to seethe.
โWhat have you done?โ His brother asks, drawing his own sword as he begins to stalk toward Eris.
โWhat have you done?โ Eris asks in reply, igniting his sword. Beron still stands silent, his eyes on his fallen son, as the two still standing circle each other with blazing swords. His brother strikes first but he is weak. Eris avoids the strike, taking his own with a deep cut to the arm. As his brother cries from the blow, he makes another, slicing across his chest. He hits the ground, throwing a hand up as he releases a gust of burning fire, but Eris is older. Stronger. Trained better. Angrier. And within the course of a minute, two severed heads graced the floor of the Forest House.
Finally, Beronโs shock at the turn of events breaks, and a heavy blast of fire hits Erisโs right side before he can winnow away from one carnage to another.
