Summary
It was still quite warm, but he knew he would need to make a decision soon – pour more hot water into the bathtub or get out and change locations. Both meant having to move, which he was wildly opposed to.
At the very least, one of them involved a bed.
Out of nowhere, he felt the press of Baptiste’s lips against his bare shoulder. A soft chuckle rumbled in his chest and he turned towards the big man, pressing his temple to his forehead.
Aaron and Baptiste share a bath and make the most of it.
That is, until their cat decides they've had enough.

SPOILERS FOR "EMPIRE OF THE DAMNED" (but no spoilers for "Empire of the Dawn")
The daysdeath is over.
It's been over for many years now. Nature has bloomed once more. People have rebuilt their lives and moved on.
Baptiste tries.
He can't.
‘I promise to come back and tell you everything I learn.’
His gaze slid downwards, to the lettering engraved by the lion’s feet.
Baptiste’s face fell a little, his gaze growing hollow. ‘See you later, Gabe,’ he murmured, then patted the slab of Gabriel’s grave and walked away to prepare for Dior’s visit. She was a saint after all. It wouldn’t do to invite her into a messy house.

Summary
Time flew as the blackthumb’s mind kept tearing itself between focusing on the finishing touches on the Scar and trying to sense when – and if – Aaron was watching him.
Eventually, he saw that there were no more screws left, the obstacle course all but ready to be used after Argyle’s final inspection.
He suspected he was, from the corner of his eye.
The blackthumb bit his lip, took a deep breath and hauled his shirt off, fighting off a shiver in the cold air. His muscles strained, the chymical globes' light reflecting off of the sheen of sweat on his skin, skipping briskly between the broad planes and sharp divots.
Baptiste's blacksmithing talents haven't gone unnoticed, and they lead him to a task at the Gauntlet - and to the beautiful lad he's fallen for months ago while simply shaking hands.
Oh, what he would give to know how his kisses taste...

SPOILERS FOR "EMPIRE OF THE DAMNED" AND "EMPIRE OF THE DAWN"
Better to live a man than die a monster.
But what if one is both?
No force in Elidaen could stop Gabriel's loyal brothers from accompanying him on his journey towards vengeance, even if it's suicide taken the long way round. Unfortunately, each of the four men finds himself struggling with his demons.
Some of these demons are more dangerous than others, and few know it better than Aaron de Coste. As a coldblood fledgling haunted by sangirè and fear for what he is capable of, he keeps his distance - especially from his beloved Baptiste.
Eventually, however, something has to give. The only question is, will it happen while he's still in control or after he loses himself?
the working title was literally "blood-drinking and cocksucking BARON"
make of that what you will

SPOILERS FOR "EMPIRE OF THE DAMNED" (but no spoilers for "Empire of the Dawn")
And with this darkened veil reversed,
By whelming guilt of fallen cursed;
Three nights of boundless crimson thirst,
Shall retrieve the lives dispersed.San Dior has ended daysdeath and all in Elidaen are awaiting the first dawn in nearly 30 years with bated breath. But unbeknownst to most, when the sun finally rises as it used to in days past, it will be over an earth unmarred by the vampiric scourge. Aaron de Coste and Celene Castia can feel the cold fingers of death finally catching up with them.
But like with most curses, there's a prophecy tied to it. A prophecy of hope for the damned and the mortals loving them.

The Wrong Kind of Noodle by BlueEyedArcher

Summary
Olrox touches something he really shouldn't and gets turned into a black footed ferret version of his vampiric transformation. Unable to turn back on his own, and helpless to navigate a world full of bigger predators and even greater threats, he relies on the kindness and unexpected compassion from one handsome hospitaller knight.
Or
Heartbroken by Olrox's blatant rejection, Mizrak decides to focus on something far more personally fulfilling in his life to distract himself from the knowledge that the man he loves doesn't love him back. When a lost little ferret wanders into the Abbey, he shields his heart by giving it all the love he had once intended to share with the vampire.

Olrox gets turned into a ferret and it's amazing.
Soft Mizrak, indignant but pleased Olrox. What more could one want

Summary
“Asterius, when are you going to let me put you on camera?”
“I do not need it, sir. Besides, I don’t have your flair.” Asterius tries to say it lightly, but he is not sure he succeeds.
Theseus scoffs. “It is our job to inspire, my friend, and I find you quite inspirational.” Something in his tone makes Asterius take a second look, but Theseus has his face buried in his phone. His cheeks are a dark pink. Given the quantities of compliments and crown emojis Theseus regularly receives, it is surprising that any comment on his videos could make him blush.
Overwhelmed by the one-two punch of Theseus’ flushed cheeks and shiny nipples, Asterius concedes, “Whatever you think is best.”

Modern AU with Theseus and Asterius being two pining idiots.
~~~~~
*keysmash*
It's so in character and it's so well-written.
It's so painful to read but so good.
I can't get Theseus' voice out of my head and I hate it and IT IS SO GOOD.
Honestly, this is the fic that's just made me decide (3:15 am, the perfect time) to go read more fics with these two. I guess we'll see if this decision is what starts my downward spiral. -

Summary
“So you’re a night owl,” Trevor said, somewhere in his second week making drinks for Adrian. He set the latte in front of him and squeezed into the chair on the other side of Adrian’s usual table. “Student? Grad student? Surprisingly young professor?”
“You’re full of questions tonight,” Adrian said. He drew the ceramic bowl closer, wrapping his pale hands around it; Trevor ignored his soft sigh, the way his eyelashes fluttered at the warmth soaking into his palms.
***
When a golden-haired stranger walked into his coffee shop late one night, Trevor thought three things: he was beautiful, he had a shitty attitude, and it was a fucking terrible time for Sypha to go on her break and leave all the work to him.
Two weeks later, Trevor's view had shifted: Adrian was still irritatingly beautiful...and someone he had a hell of a lot of fun talking to.
And two weeks after that? Well. No one could ever accuse Trevor of making good decisions.

Trevor is an art student/barista, Alucard a music major (or something like that, Idk how that schooling system works). They meet at the coffee shop, tease each other a lot, but are really cute and sweet.
*~*~*
Honestly, it's perfect. Like, I-have-no-words perfect. The characters, the plot, the writing. The emotions and descriptions are breathtaking. Generally, don't re-read if I have only a moment of my time, it's so engaging it won't be possible to tear myself away mid-way.
