    Summary

    “Well,” he said, voice low, unreadable, almost teasing. “This is a surprise.”

    You swallowed the knot in your throat and turned around, not because you wanted to face him—but because the weight of his presence demanded it.

    “Not really,” you tried to sound breezy. Light. Detached. “I was just dropping something off—”

    Click.

    The sound of the lock sliding into place was too deliberate. Too calm.

    Zayne shrugged off his lab coat. The stark white fabric fell in slow motion over the back of the chair, and then he rolled his shoulders—tight, tired, tense. You watched his fingers unbutton his cuffs, rolling up his sleeves slowly, with practiced ease.

    Curtains drawn. Room dimming. Silence folding over itself.

    “I sincerely hope,” he murmured as he walked toward you, past you, pulling each curtain shut until the room felt private, secretive—dangerous, “it’s not another envelope.”

    OR

    An arranged marriage built on silence unravels into a love loud enough to echo—where a repressed heart finally claims what was always his.

    Summary

    Footfalls in the snow melt the quickest-- give rise to newborn greens and fragile stems betwisting through brittle ice as they reach for the warmth of a promised spring. Eyes of blue coated in ice are no different. In time, their frost will wane; give way to the heat of the sun who beckons with the grace and kindness of everything right in the world.

    Her arms are strong, yet delicate. Brilliant light cascading, blinding through summer's canopy to dazzle the world in hues and colors beauty bright he only believed existed in nature and the Fade-- he sees her.
    His arms are strong, yet gentle. Feather-light touches, kindness unending. Drowning within, pebbles shift to the bottom of a basin, bubbles drifting to float aloft the waves, he is the adventure she's sought forever-- she sees him.
    A home built between, a breath shared throughout. Again and again and again. To burn, to fall to ash-- and meld together, again. Again.

    Summary

    Gale felt himself relax. For the last few days, he’d been concerned that Halsin might not like an idea they’d come up with, or that it didn’t quite align with his vision. Gale realized then Halsin didn’t have a vision.

    He trusted Gale.

    Which — historically, an objectively stupid thing to do.

    or: instead of blackstaff, gale travels to reithwin to build a school as halsin oversees the village's recovery. in the years that come, a lot of things change — most notably his relationship with halsin.

    Summary

    In times of college-related stress and frustrations, you think it's a little odd when you overhear how some people find resonance in sounds. No music, just any random sounds whipped out by random strangers on the internet. It almost sounds funny.

    Until it's not so funny anymore.

    OR

    Under the stress that is college, your desperate search for stress-relief aid takes a surprising turn when you stumble upon Starrysound's ASMR channel. Except, this is no ordinairy ASMR, and this is definitely no ordinairy ASMR creator.

    Summary

    Sienna giggled, feeling some of her exhaustion melt away. "Well, since you're so invested in my well-being, want to hear my exciting plans for relaxation after tomorrow's training and briefing?"

    "Do tell," Sylus replied, his interest evident.

    "Hmm," Sienna hummed, tapping her chin thoughtfully. "Well, first things first, I'm going to indulge in a long, hot shower. Let the water wash away all this stress and tension."

    "Mmmm," Sylus murmured appreciatively. "I can picture that quite vividly."

    Sienna felt her face grow warmer. "Behave yourself," she chided playfully. "After that, I'm treating myself to some seriously decadent takeout. No cooking, no dishes, just pure indulgence."
