Summary
"Can't think… Too hot…" Phainon shuts his eyes and tries to steady his breathing, thinking it might help with the heat. Mydei remains unmoving.
"I'm shocked you can even talk with this much heat and humidity. Well done, deliverer."
"Get off my case, Mydeimos." He chuckles, chest moving in tandem with his laughs. Mydei feels a slight upturn of his lips before settling it back to its resting state. "I bet you can't last longer than I can in this heat anyways."
Phainon brings half his body up as he turns, resting his weight on his elbows, facing up and directly at his friend. "Look at you sitting like this isn't affecting you too." A hand playfully swipes at sweat dripping down his roommate's thighs. "As if you aren't also burning under this weather."
a.k.a Phainon and Mydei trying to survive a heat wave but they get a bit too close to one another

Summary
Throughout 6000 years, Aziraphale and Crowley have gone through making up after fights simply by dismissing the issue. Years and years of giving themselves time to think, only to return and talk as if nothing happened didn't seem to sit well with Crowley.
Crowley and Azirphale talk through a few moments that could have changed how they were today in Soho, London. Moments in the past that caused them feelings of abandonment. Moments they wished the other was okay.

Grace gets memories of being romance/sex-repulsed (aroace) and Rocky gets an explanation of it while also loving Grace wholeheartedly. Rocky's approach to caring for Grace is so soft and nice

Summary
“Adrian will understand,” Rocky says confidently. “Will be excited to meet alien. Will be excited to meet person who brought me home.”
“Yeah, and I'm excited to meet them too, but after that!” Is this a translation error? A cultural miscommunication? How is Rocky not getting it? “You're partners. They're not going to want some alien around while you're, like… going on dates and all that.”
“Does not mean no time for Grace.” Rocky’s starting to sound frustrated. Part of me feels bad, but the rest is just as frustrated. “Why think this, question? On Earth, just abandon friends when have mate, question?”
It's so clearly a rhetorical question, to which the answer is obviously supposed to be no, of course not. I freeze up anyway.

Beautiful story about how Rocky and Grace become QPPs (and the equivalent of Eridian Platonic Marriage)!

Same author as The Astrobiology Immersion Program (bodyswap PHM fic). Absolutely wonderful characterization. Entertaining storyline. Heartwarming and made me tear up near the end. Do recommend.

Really nice. I love seeing how they care for each other and get used to each other being around, like how Grace knew talking and explaining would help calm Rocky down. Beautiful. The shared understanding over the suit too. I hope they hug more.

Summary
When Phainon finally moved to Castrum Kremnos—the city he’d daydreamed about since childhood—he expected many things: difficult dialects, lovely cuisine, and locals built like war gods. He did not expect to flirt with a man he assumed was a priest.
“So… I read Nikador’s scriptures once. Very inspiring. Huge fan.”
Finger guns.
Pew pew.
A silence worthy of a sacred text.
Unfortunately, that “priest” happened to be the Crown Prince.
Even more unfortunately, the Crown Prince thought he was cute.

Bookmarker's Notes
This was so, SO, good. I kid you not. I could re-read this numerous times.
Phainon's extreme determination and obsession with finding someone of equal or better strength to spar with him is what drives him in this story, and it leads him to so many places.
Fret not, the title WILL make sense by the end. And it is definitely worth it to read to understand why. I laughed.
Wonderful fic. Good worldbuilding. Good characters. Amusing side characters as well. The guards are my favourite, followed by the kids.
