Summary
“Goodnight, Dad!”
“Goodnight, duckling!” His smile dropped when the door clicked shut. Closed his eyes. Counted to ten. It wouldn’t do to blow a hole in the hotel they just finished. He’s spent too much of his life blowing up shit just because he could fix it afterwards. As if there were no consequences to being a giant rage monster just because nothing stayed broken. It’s a problem he got under wraps a few thousand years ago, but few things challenge his control like Charlie, her safety, their lack of relationship. But, no, this wasn’t about that; It was about that asshole being to chickenshit to go to the top and instead bothering little girls with too much on their plate.
***
It's strange for Lucifer to wander back into Hellish society after centuries of isolation. There was a reason he left, a reason he no longer even tried. But Charlie had a plan. Who knew if it was even going to work, but there was no way in Hell he was going to let her stick it to Heaven without help.
If only that radio demon wasn't such an asshole.Updates Tuesday

Summary
“Let me get this straight,” Adachi says when everyone’s been topped up and a couple of new bottles sit between them. Adachi appears to pause over his choice of phrasing before shaking his head and continuing. “The question isn’t so much if we let the guy who shot Kasuga get into a relationship with him, but, what? How do we get Kasuga to come out of the closet?”
“Worse.” Zhao sighs. “How do we get Kasuga to realize he’s in the closet.”

Arakawa comes back into Ichiban's life. It's not as straightforward as Ichiban hopes. -
Elegy for Elpis by Eli_Emu, QueenOfPentalcles (Eli_Emu)

Summary
“Timothy made a lot of bad decisions... So here he was alone on Elpis, with no way out and no official papers because, to put the cherry on top, he didn’t officially exist anymore. God, he sure helped that not everyone on Elpis was as mad as they made Pandorans up to be.”
---
Timothy’s boss sends him down alone, with minimal training, a couple of guns, and a couple of AI’s so experimental that don’t even have their learning algorithms up and running. There’s a lot on the line and Timothy is the man for the job; mostly because he’s the only one for around. Realistically, it going to be only days before Timothy is decomposing on the moon’s surface.Series

Set in the Detroit universe. You don't really need to play the game to read this. It's basically just an Android AU with a bit of spice.Series

Summary
“Akira- I can’t believe this. Did you actually use your brain for once and swallowed the flash drive?"
“Uhm,” Akira says, and then pauses. The already cramped room of the grimy hotel they momentarily found refuge in until they know what to do with the new turn of events feels a lot smaller with Goro this close. Akira shifts awkwardly, averting his eyes from Goro’s intense, scrutinizing ones. “No.”
“... but you said it’s inside you,” Goro remarks slowly, as if he needs to make sure every letter is articulated perfectly and, first and foremost, that he heard correctly.
Embarrassment licks at Akira’s neck. “Yeah,” he lamely says, words increasingly beginning to feel heavier in his mouth. “It’s inside of me but I just, uhm, didn’t swallow it?”
Goro stares at him.
Akira stares back.

Summary
“Good morning,” Akira greeted him.
Akechi merely grunted, heading for the table, then froze and frowned as he looked at the setting.
“Something wrong?” Akira asked, trying to find his mistake but not seeing any.
Chopsticks, coffee, plates, breakfast, everything was there... right?
Akechi grunted again, took his place mat and dragged it with all its content to the other end of the really very long table, before sitting down gingerly.
Shido followed him in only shortly after, sitting down at the other side of the table and Akira was getting the picture.
Working as a butler for Shido and his son comes with challenges Akira has not anticipated - most of which can be summed up with falling for said son.

Wish You Knew How Much I Loved Your Legs by Dracothelizard

Summary
Stede mentioned, back when they were going to that French party, that compliments were a good way to court a lady, so Ed hopes they’re a good way to court a gentleman, too. “Know what I like about you?”
“What?” Stede asks, excited. “My quick wit? My can-do attitude?”
“Your legs,” Ed replies, looking down Stede’s pointedly. “They’re great. Really…” Fuck, he’s spent so much time looking at Stede’s legs and thinking about them. Why can’t he describe them? “Really nice. Fantastic. Amazing.”

Summary
“Come here.” Ed puts his hand back behind Stede’s neck and pulls him close. “Listen, I know you said no sex, but… would you try it, just once, with me? I promise we’ll stop if it ever gets to be too much. Solemn vow.”
Stede stays silent for a moment. He thinks of Mary, not even meeting his eyes as they performed their marital duties. And he thinks of Ed, pulling back after their first kiss, gazing at him as if Stede were the most beautiful thing in the world.
“Alright,” he whispers.
*Stede doesn't like sex. At least, he thinks he doesn't, because he's never had sex with someone he's actually attracted to before. Ed very patiently teaches him that sex can actually be enjoyable. There is crying. Bon apetit.
