Summary
Lucifer has always kept his distance from sinners. It's what keeps him (relatively) sane — if he gets too close, he is haunted by visions of the tragic mortal lives that landed them in Hell.
But in his new life at the Hotel, it is more difficult than ever to stay away — and when it comes to light that his daughter's insufferable facilities manager is gravely wounded, it falls to Lucifer to deliver his soul from Death.
In so doing, he falls headfirst into the sins, past lives, and heartbreaks of the one human whose contradictions he is powerless to resist.

Summary
“So, Rosie.” Alastor straightened himself in his seat, taking his teacup and indulging in a sip. “Now that you’ve heard the tale, I come to you for advice on what to do with our little serpentine king. Please, enlighten me: why is Lucifer Morningstar acting so strangely around me?”
Rosie took a deep breath and set her cup on its saucer. “How’s the tea, darling?” she asked, hands folded on her lap.
Alastor blinked once, then twice. “Why, it’s lovely, as per usual.”
Rosie smiled sweetly. “Good. Not too bitter?”
“Not at all.”
“And how’re the fingers, dear? They taste alright?”
“They’re simply delightful.”
“Is your chair nice and comfortable?”
“The comfiest.”
“You’re all relaxed?”
“I’ve never felt so at home.”
“Lucifer is in love with you.”
Alastor spat out the tea he’d been drinking, which was quickly followed by a round of coughing so harsh you would think he was actively dying.
—
Alastor has a chat with Rosie regarding Lucifer’s odd behavior.
Rosie finds it all quite amusing.
Alastor does not.

Summary
Alastor has very few problems—or at least, very few problems unable to be solved by a well-placed knife. That is, until a murder is committed by someone other than him, endangering all his carefully laid schemes. Now the police are asking awkward questions and if they don't catch this abject amateur soon, Alastor could be in actual trouble.
But homicide isn't the only mystery surrounding Pride Manor. Following the unexplained disappearance of the Duchess of Pride seven years earlier, the estate has been abandoned. The eccentric duke has vanished, leaving behind only a recalcitrant gardener and a broken-hearted daughter. Despite his best efforts to the contrary, Alastor finds himself embroiled in two generations of Morningstar drama. It's enough to drive anyone to homicide—oh, wait.
Alastor is much better at committing crimes than solving them, and even his allies would be just as happy to see him behind bars as the actual culprit. Can he detective his way out of this—or has Alastor finally bit off more than he can chew?
Inspired by the vibe of notherpuppet's RadioApple Human AU, and the art of sketchyvero and notetaker, this is intended to be some nonsense with a classic murder mystery flavour.

Summary
Lan Xichen is a broken man no longer able to trust his own judgement. Jiang Wanyin was broken long ago, and he healed... badly. The cultivation world is off-balance, and it hasn't gone unnoticed.
In the middle of an icy winter, a comet appears in the sky. Is it a warning? A celestial dragon? Have the gods, weary of waiting for cultivators to sort out their own mess, decided to take action?
Over the course of three seasons, the two sect leaders are forced closer as they attempt to appease the gods and rebalance their land. Perhaps, in the course of their adventures, they will also find a way to rebalance themselves.
TLDR: In which a fiery plot device in the sky forces two lonely, broken men to sort their shit out and find everything they'd been lacking in each other.

Summary
Kirishima brings up Bakugou one day as he and Kaminari are eating together in the campus cafeteria. Super casual, like yeah-I-saw-this-guy-on-TV-once, and not I’ve-watched-literally-every-single-interview-he’s-ever-even-been-in-the-background-of-and-wouldn’t-mind-having-his-babies.
“Oh, him,” Kaminari says. “Eh, he’s popular lately, I guess. Don’t see what all the hype's about.”
Kirishima feels lightheaded. “You—you don’t see the hype—” he splutters. “He’s incredible, dude.”
Kaminari just eyes him.

So heartwarming and lovely. I love how interconnected the stories are, especially the earlier ones hinting at other potential problems. Excellent for an afternoon on a rainy day with a cup of hot chocolate.

Summary
‘ “I bet,” Tobio growled, “that you can’t even grant wishes at all.”
Hinata smiled, but his expression was terrifying. His eyes were wide and bright, too bright, burning gold. “Is that a challenge?” the little god asked.
Tobio smiled back, and his eyebrows drew down to form a frightening grin of his own. “Yeah. It is.”
The sun god’s hand blurred out, bending him forward, warm fingers pressed to the back of Tobio’s neck.
“Then tell me your wish,” Hinata said in his ear, his breath hot as his lips brushed over Tobio’s skin.’
--
Once a year, all the villages that follow the way of the sun offer up one of their own to be taken to the sun god's divine temple. Kageyama Tobio, an orphan and loner, never wanted to be chosen—and until the sun god appeared, no one ever wanted to choose him, either. All Tobio wants is to find a place he fits in. What he actually gets is another story entirely.

Summary
'“Doing okay?” Suga asks. “You make plans with that guy? You still haven't told me his name.”
“Noya,” Asahi tells him. “Nishinoya Yuu.”
Suga smiles and Asahi knows he picked up on everything that was in his voice as those syllables moved softly over his tongue. “Cute name,” he says. “Maybe worth falling for, huh?”
Asahi doesn't miss the double meaning in his friend’s words, and he doesn't say no.'
--
Asahi wants the earth to swallow him whole when he accidentally crashes into tiny Nishinoya Yuu while riding his bike. He remains unsure of his stance on disappearing off the face of the planet after Noya asks him out on a date. But with the (somewhat aggressive) encouragement of his best friends/roommates, Asahi takes one small step forward, and soon finds himself doing a lot less hiding and a lot more living than he ever thought he could.

Bookmarker's Notes
It's less about sex and more about the careful and loving way that Noya and Asahi develop their relationship - sure the physical is there, but the emotional development is what pushes the story so that the sex (and all intimacies before that) never feel like they come too soon. Noya is patient but it never feels like he's waiting. There's so much love between characters in this story, and not just Noya and Asahi. Suga, Daichi, and Asahi have such a clear and wonderful friendship - and one of the most realistic that I've read for them. Just such a lovely lovely work.

Summary
Maestro Hux of the Erste Orden Sinfonie has survived the big gala concert and won over obstreperous piano virtuoso Kylo Ren and hopefully his board of directors too. But now Ren's gone back to New York, and mysterious rumblings from the wings suggest that perhaps not all is as serene as it seems.

Summary
When Hux sees the positive result on the pregnancy test scanner, he comes to several alarming realizations all at once. One: that his birth control has been tampered with. Two: that the baby is Kylo's. Three: that this is his true punishment for Starkiller's failure.
And quietly, in a weak, tiny voice in the back of his mind, the unsettling conclusion that he wants to keep it. He'll die before he lets anyone near his child. He'll tear apart anyone that tries to get in his way.
Even Kylo.

Knowing nowhere else to house him safely and discreetly, Hux takes Ren to his family’s estate on Arkanis. He anticipates adding this experience to the already long list of abhorrent memories he has of his childhood home, but six weeks in company with Ren turns out to be something quite unlike Hux expected.
