Tumbling Down: Romance/Angst, PG; Part 18
Part Eighteen
I clicked off the light as I left the bathroom, a towel wrapped around my waist, using a smaller one to slowly towel my hair dry. My whole body felt heavy with the weight of emotions and uncertainties that I piled atop myself, and putting on clothes seemed like an effort far beyond my grasp; instead I leaned tiredly ( Read more... ) -
Monster: G, Gen
His heart, if he had one, was black like tar and just as viscously sluggish, moving slow, and unhurried; beating like a dying animal’s last gasping, rasping breath.

Home Is...: G, Romance
When I got back to the apartment after the plane landed Danny was already in bed, lying with the covers wrapped tight around his body, pulled up to his chin and just barely revealing the bare skin of his shoulders, his arms wrapped around a pillow. I’d already checked on Tommy on my way in-sitting on his bed talking in a hushed whisper ( Read more... ) -
Vanilla Kiss: G, Fluffy Romance
Birds chirped from the branches of the majestic oak tree behind them. Sunlight filtered through the thick foliage overhead, dappling the grass and dirt path with spots of light that danced and swayed to the wind’s song. The park bench was wood and worn steel and Sergei stretched one arm across the back around David’s shoulders, resting ( Read more... ) -
Pet: Romance, PG
When Rick flipped on the dim desk lamp of their room, Nikolai was forced to smile, leaning his hip against the doorjamb and folding his arms across his chest as he took in the pleasing sight in front of him.

Young and Scared: Romance/Fluff, G
He was eighteen years old, two years younger than I; though in a few months he would be nineteen. He was tall and lanky and always seemed to be unaccustomed to his still-maturing body, eating voraciously to fuel his growing build, still seeming clumsy, unsure of what his six-foot-four frame could do. Nonetheless, most of the time he was ( Read more... ) -
Annulus: Romance, PG-13, hockey_fc challenge
His protégé.
Always there to explain when I need him to. Gesticulating and translating, never resenting my lack of understanding or endless inquiries.
His companion.
Driving toward the net as I race close behind. A deke, a drop-and a distraction. I cradle the puck he left me and burst around him, snapping a ( Read more... ) -
As Beautiful as You: Romance, G
-
Flickers of gold and red light played across the unmoving form that lay in my bed. Pale skin, strong shoulders, lashes resting against smooth cheeks; as I pulled on my clothes my eyes were unable to stray from that entrancing sight, drinking in the sight of him sleeping there, his head pillowed on his arms. I tried to keep my movements ( Read more... ) -
(Im)Perfect: Romance/Fluff, G
I traced the curve of a strong collarbone with my fingertips, running along the gentle arc up the slope of a neck and reveling in the feel of smooth skin beneath my touch. Sergei’s throat fluttered under my gentle caress, breathing as he slept; softly inhaling and exhaling in the quiet of the bedroom. I ran my fingers along his jawline to ( Read more... ) -
Exhaustion: G, Fluff
The light was still on when I crept into the hotel room, easing the door open and closing it softly behind me. It didn’t turn out to be indicative of any wakefulness, however; the still form sprawled across the far bed was out cold, still clad in suit and tie. An indulgent smile touched my lips as I let my bag slide onto the free bed, ( Read more... )
