Will saving Kaiba's hide save Jounouchi too? Or is this finally his chance to escape from under the kumicho's thumb?

"It doesn't concern you," said Seto after an extended beat. Jounouchi's face contorted to show something Seto never expected: disappointment. But why? Why was he so disappointed? After the last time, Jounouchi shouldn't be surprised by his response. So why did it agitate Seto's chest? The only explanation was Jounouchi had been right earlier. Seto was tired, worn thin by the days of tearing through the city and his own organization in search of stolen merchandise and the rats stealing from him. Upon closer examination, Jounouchi's eye bags were at least as heavy as Seto's. The dark rings spoke of poor sleep. They were not new, per se. Seto had noticed them in passing while they were not on speaking terms. The bruises were as prominent as ever, despite them having "made up." "Why are you taking such an interest now? You never gave a shit—" Jounouchi cut in, sharp as a knife. "What you said earlier, about being yours or dead? Pretty sure it's going to be the second soon cuz someone's taking a run at you. It ain't a small fry either. A small fry wouldn't make a move this bold. I don't wanna get caught in the crossfire because you're too damn stubborn to see that."

Baldur’s Gate 3 - 6/? - Palmarosa - Astarion/Raphael

Title: Palmarosa Rating: Explicit Pairing: Astarion/Raphael Tags: (Check AO3 for the full list) Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Deals with a devil, Contracted sexual slavery, Bad BDSM etiquette, PTSD, Communication issues, Flashbacks, Trauma recovery and Retraumatisation, Dark and disturbing themes, Blood consumption, Minor character death, Canon typical violence, Dominance/submission, Top Raphael, Bottom Astarion etc.

Summary: (Set post-game / end-game) The love of Astarion’s life has disappeared to go live in the daylight with the druids, and Astarion is stuck in the darkness once more, yearning for sunlight with every fibre of his being, while bitterly reflecting on all the things that were denied to him in the end - love, sunlight, the option to kill thousands of people and become a near-god…

Raphael knows Astarion’s desperate, and comes to him with not one, but two horrid contract offers that Astarion loathes and dreads in equal measure - but the prize at the end of both are too good to turn down, and he’s become too cynical to care about how much of a good idea it is to give his body to a devil for a month or two, because really, comparatively, how bad could it be?

Palmarosa (Baldur’s Gate 3) - Raphael/Astarion - 06 - Keratin and Olive Oil

In which Astarion finished preparing Raphael, so that Raphael can start preparing him. But it doesn't go exactly according to plan...

follow me like the moon (chapter 2)

When Bodhi turns it over to her with a thoughtful, “And how’s everything with you?”—well, Jyn rightfully panics. “Uh…there was a really hot guy at the diner the other day…well, night. The other morning. Whatever,” she offers, pathetically. After a year of working overnights, you’d think she'd know what to call it. “Really?” Bodhi asks, obviously intrigued. Because he’s the best, and even if her life is objectively less interesting than his, he still cares about how she’s doing. “Yep.” “And?” he presses. “What happened?” “Nothing happened,” Jyn says, trying not to scoff. “He was a customer. He came in, he ate, he left.” “Like the proverbial panda.” “What?” “The panda. From that joke? ‘Eats, shoots, and leaves?’” Bodhi explains. “Never mind. It’s just a dumb joke.”
