“If I may interrupt you, Generals,” he says, “we might consider looking at the altar in this chamber before clawing each other to pieces in the dark?”
Mu Qing lets out a huff of breath and folds his arms in front of his chest; only with that gesture does Pei Ming realize that his hand had been on the hilt of his saber.
Heaven, but he might have bitten off more than he can chew this time.

Summary
A long moment passes between them, and Hinata watches, starstruck, as Heitor’s eyes linger on Nice’s silhouette from across the venue. His voice is deep, rich, all encompassing. “Some people change your life just by being in it, and you don’t want to let that go.”
Huh, Hinata thinks grandly.

I was so obsessed with this pairing when I was younger. A lot of the fics I read then don't feel the same, but this one I read more recently really captures the essence of why I love Kagehina. They're just so soft and so perfectly matched :)

Summary
“How precious are your futures?” asks the Sphinx. “How dear to you is the path you wish to take?” She bares her teeth in a cruel smile, and they all take an involuntary step back.
“Wait,” says Laios suddenly. “Look at her teeth!”
“Yes, Laios,” says Izutsumi. “We’ve all noticed the fangs. This really isn’t the time—”
“No,” says Laios, “those back teeth. She has molars- grinders. That means she’s an omnivore. But she can’t leave this circle, and you saw how nothing ventures within miles of this spot. I bet she hasn’t had anything other than…” he swallows, waving a hand vaguely at the pile of ex-adventurers, “...meat… for years .”
“So…what?” asks Izutsumi.
“Remember how good those marshmallows were?” asks Laios. “And that was only after a couple days without much of a varied diet.”
“You want to bet all of our lives,” Chilchuck says slowly, “on making a Sphinx a nice dessert?”
Laios smiles.

Summary
Aha creates themself as a human, scraping up dried liquor off of tavern floors and the scripts of plays that will never exist, forming it and cutting themself down into Sampo Koski.
When he lands on Jarilo-IV, he stays longer than he should; where all the others eventually show reactions and symptoms to his divinity, Gepard is completely, absolutely blind to it all.
Gepard Landau, the Captain of the Silvermane Guards, the Shield of Belobog, is so very mundane. And Sampo thinks he's the most intriguing thing he has ever seen in his eons as Aha.

Summary
There was another student here.
Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.
It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.
Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.
This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.

If asked, Sakamichi Onoda would say that his plans for the next seven years were loosely focussed on avoiding social interactions, reading comics, and generally pretending to be as normal as possible.
But Onoda's also apparently a wizard, so that's going to have to change.

It’s difficult to be so badly in love with someone so dense he probably wouldn’t even float if he jumped into the sea wearing a lifejacket and inflatable armbands. Just to help coax him on the way, Teru adds, “But kissing girls is really just the same as kissing boys, you know.”
(Providing strong and efficient leadership is a skill as important in romance as in everything else.)

Summary
Zhou Zishu takes the pipe, checks that the ember is still alive, and sets it in his mouth. When he sucks the smoke into his mouth, he can only just barely perceive the pungent herbal scent of it, like passing someone in the street who had smoked hours before. But it feels the same as it always has, hot and dry in the back of his throat. He holds it in his lungs, offers the pipe to Wen Kexing. Exhales slowly through his nose.

Three months. He’ll stay three months. Just long enough for that shrimpy Zhang Chengling to wean into this new world, and then he’ll leave. Just three months he’ll allow himself that brassy, beautiful line cook, who barked the most flirtatious insult at Zhou Zishu as he charged down the cracked asphalt with a towering pallet jack of wholesale soy sauce boxes; his voice magnetic like an army general’s, clear above the rumbling gallop of his condiment fleet.

Summary
Nobody thought their actions back in the winter of '85 and beyond would end up having these consequences.
A story woven from past mistakes, indecisions and loss that eventually helped shape his world and upbringing.
But despite all the hardships one thing was for certain, Jake Seresin was destined to fly and he knew the Navy was where he belonged.A slightly altered kind of retelling that includes Jake 'Hangman' Seresin being Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky’s lost son, a story about revelations, love, loss, friendship and most importantly family.
Where two rivals find out they may not be so different from one another and their journey to understanding, unity, serenity and eventually love.
First by hating, then by loving and finally understanding and helping one another find a place they both deserve. Just not in the same order.The story says OC but that only counts for some of the past event chapters. Eventually sticks to Rooster/Hangman.
Tags were updated as the story progressed in order to avoid spoilers, but no more. Canon characters have been added as the story progressed.
Starts pre-movie and continues on into Top Gun: Maverick and will move on beyond.Series

Kim Dokja froze.

Slowly, he turned, and—
Yoo Joonghyuk looked back at him. His hands were in tight fists, and his expression was murderous, and above his head—
"Seriously?" Kim Dokja said.
"'I’ll kill you," Yoo Joonghyuk snarled.
Above Yoo Joonghyuk’s head, in neon pink, the word Virgin glittered.
Kim Dokja burst out laughing.

DEATH SCREAM (credit to kittebasu for the phrase). This is absolute perfection and ruined all other fics of this pairing for me forever. Such an obvious trope but done so perfectly that it feels completely unique. Incredibly scrumptious angst.
