Summary
Valjean pulls Javert up out of dark waters.
""No," Valjean says, but Javert knows that he has planted the possibility – Valjean shoving aside the bedclothes and rucking up his nightshirt and the grim slap of flesh on flesh and those hard convict's eyes boring into the back of his neck, Valjean's breath on the back of his neck again, and –
The rush of blood southward catches him almost by surprise. He hopes Valjean does not notice the change in his eyes, the startled swallow. He always hopes too much. To see where he stands Valjean need only glance at the bedclothes.
This, Javert thinks, the thoughts leaden in his stomach. This, this, this is what becomes of you without the prop of your law. This is where your thoughts slink – vile and filthy, back to the gutter, this is the slimy rind that's left of you –"

Summary
Billy smirks at him, white teeth glinting: “Finish up, why don’t you? You’re making me regret choosing you to cheat off, King Steve-”
“Don’t. Call. Me. That.”
“Okay....” Billy says, mock sweet. “How about... princess?”
(Or: Steve doesn't know if he hates or loves the pet names; all he knows is that Billy confuses him.)

Summary
Sixteen hits James like the Hogwarts Express, a growth spurt the likes of which he’s been dreaming of for years, legs long enough to trip him up when he forgets how different they are now.
Legs long enough that it takes Teddy a good twelve seconds to look James all the way up, all the way down, when he comes back home from his six-month-long trip to France. James counts them off in his head, skin prickling, mouth dry.

Summary
Chess is a delicate game. A few wrong moves, and you can end up with more than you bargained for--for example, a desperate and devoted scientist vying for your affection, and fragments you had shattered long ago putting themselves back together. It's not easy being king.

Bookmarker's Notes
So dark and sick and twisted and heartsick. It's funny how such a relatively simple game sucks you so much into its world. This series taps some of the plot that could be lurking just below the surface, and it's a pleasure to read.

Summary
From this prompt on norsekink:
(Gen-ish?) Thor/Loki, underage, political/forced marriage
Loki of Jotunheim, child-bride of Thor of Asgard."Let's say that Loki is Laufey's youngest, a useless runt except for how his small stature, shifting abilities and royal blood makes him perfect for a political marriage with Asgard."
[The fill did not turn out to be quite so Gen as all that, but in case it's not clear in the story, there is no underage anything going on.]
