Summary
“I was thinking… it’s about time I start to, uh, put some of the theory into motion, you know?”
Harry has Kim’s full attention now, eyes surprised behind his glasses. “You mean like dating?”
“Eh…” Harry runs one broad hand across the back of his neck. “Less than dating, more than talking about it. I was thinking about going to a club I heard of. La Fontaine?”
ENCYCLOPEDIA - La Fontaine is an underground homosexual club that was established back in ‘01, even before the legalization of homosexuality. It is one of the oldest to still exist, only spared by the bombs of the Revolution by sheer luck.
SHIVERS - IT WAS NOT LUCK.
ENCYCLOPEDIA - But La Fontaine is not just an underground homosexual club. It is an underground homosexual club for those with deviant sexual appetites. You have heard that while it appears to be an ordinary club in the front, the back is lined with private rooms, fully equipped with all the carnal delights one could ask for.
--
Harry wants to explore more of the Homosexual Underground. Kim helps.- Language:

Summary
“Kim,” you say, and he blinks at you in the middle of putting out his hand. “There’s something fucked up going on.”
“You must be from the 41st. I’m Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi—though you seem to know that already.” He seems tense, for some reason—and his hand is still out. “I’m afraid I wasn’t told who you are.”
“It’s me, Harry! Kim, don’t you remember me? Fuck, there’s something really wrong happening.”
“If you’re referring to the dead body that has been hanging from a tree for seven days—then yes, I agree. It is pretty wrong.” Kim is looking at you with his mouth slightly pursed. There’s no recognition in his eyes—he looks at you like you’re a stranger.
“This can’t be happening." Kim clears his throat.
“You are clearly going through… something. But I would appreciate it if we could focus on the case for the moment.”
“Oh my god,” you say. “We did it already, Kim, but for some reason I’m the only one who remembers! This is some—some cosmic joke from the universe, I’ll tell you that.”
“Okay,” Kim says, slowly. “I’m going to give you a moment while I talk to the manager. You’re going to sit down and sort out whatever it is you’re doing. And then we’re going to take down that corpse.”

Summary
As far as Julian is concerned, there’s no possible future between him and Garak, and it would be better to remain just friends. However, a conversation with Garak on the Seven Deadly Sins and the Cardassian equivalent, plus a little input from his friends, might very well change his mind.

Summary
“He doesn’t use magic,” Doric says, jutting her chin toward Edgin. Holga makes a noise that might be described as a grunt. Simon nods and takes another bite of stew. “Is it another tragic backstory thing?"
Simon looks like he’s about to speak through a mouthful of stew, then thinks better of it and swallows first. “Don’t ask me.” Doric gives him a look and turns to Holga.
“I don’t know,” Holga says. “Probably.”
Five times Edgin actually uses magic, and one time he doesn’t.

Summary
'Surely if ever there was a time to tell Gimli it was then, flush with an impossible victory.
Except he had said nothing, for there was ever more to do and never time, never time to pull Gimli aside and taste the mouth hidden beneath the fall of his moustache, to fit his slim, Eleven hands into ones coarse with callouses from the handle of an axe, to tell Gimli that every song Legolas sang, every smile and laugh and every step forward he had taken since their path darkened was bolstered only by Gimli at his side, to speak to him of Elvish courting rituals and run his fingers through Gimli’s russet hair and ask if he would allow Legolas to twist an Elvish braid in it, something to mark to all the world, even if only his Elven eyes would understand, that Gimli was tied to him.
To ask Gimli to teach him all the impossible ways their bodies might fit together.'
The night before the Battle of the Black Gate, and several days after.

“Oh. So you have that... that one, under this one?”
“Yes.”
“It still... feels like... like junk does?”
Kim feels like the questions are going to annoy him more than the discomfort of -
Intimacy. Vulnerability. The chance that Harry will laugh.
He nudges Harry towards the bed with an un-socked foot, plucking his packer out of the man's hands and tossing it into his sock drawer again. “Sit, I'll just show you.”

Summary
The sweltering heat would have been clue enough, all else aside, that the ship they boarded was no human one. That, and the strange, lingering echo of their footsteps, too loud and too hard, sketching out a ceiling far taller and broader than needed to accommodate a human frame. Lan was struck, once again, by what a foreign place his new home was to be.
Here there be dragons, he mused to himself, on the teetering edge of hysteria.
"You were always fated to perish to dragonfire," came the answering whisper in his mind, immediate and unwelcome as a recoil.

Summary
The Stableboy Knight, they called him.
His common birth should have been enough to disqualify him from the Royal Tourney, but the young Alpha was a bit of a folk hero, it appeared. There were tales spread widely of his adventures, fending off bandits and saving fair maidens, the wildest proclaiming that he had arrived to fulfill some prophecy.
The King was disapproving, but there was little he could do. The Stableboy Knight would be allowed to compete in the land’s grandest tournament, for a prize purse dripping with riches … and the right to Prince Adequinn’s virginal heat.

“Ah. Here is a young man transfixed. Do you like Hunt, sir?"
"Do I like him?" Phil tore his eyes from the painting before him and marvelled at the stranger at his elbow. Like him? One might as well ask do you like Michaelangelo? Do you like Homer? Do you like the Alps?

Summary
A penniless Knight and his squire travel to compete in a great Tournament. But their plans are foiled by injury, and the only way to support themselves is by gambling at the mysterious House of Fortune.
“You were ever a shoddy squire, Simon,” Sir Elrick tried to joke, but it came out wrong. Too solemn. He lay down, the edges of his vision blackening suddenly. He could see Simon looking down at him with concern.
That was a jest, he tried to say, but felt too weak form the words.
“I know. I’m sorry.” Simon’s voice was soft.- Language:

Eames knows that all they do together outside of work, if you were to ask Arthur, is fuck each other and occasionally watch each other’s backs. But he likes to think that Arthur lets himself be caught, lets Eames chase him all over the world; a tug-of-war, thunder and lightning game.

Summary
Nazim was just a friendly neighbor who “fed” Fig when he needed it with platonic skin-to-skin contact. Sometimes, this required Nazim to spoon Fig from behind as they watched movies together on the couch or for them to hold hands as Fig accompanied Nazim on his errands. But that was as far as it went, even though Nazim quietly burned inside with his embarrassing, hopeless desire.
It was just the natural reaction to an incubi, he always told himself. But Fig had never come to him for more than cuddles and companionship, and Nazim respected that.

“I won,” Baxo replied.

Summary
He’d tried to tell the enchantress but it had been too late. She likely wouldn’t have listened anyway, but he had tried.
They could bring a whole parade of daring, brave, and wonderful girls. Nicolas could admire them. He could befriend them. He could even marry them, but it would never break the curse. It wouldn’t work. He couldn’t love any of them the way the magic required. He could fall in love, he thought he had it in him somewhere, but not with a girl. He would never be able to break the curse, because he only had those sorts of feelings, the heart thudding, dizzying ones, about men. There was no use pretending, no use holding out hope. It was hard enough to imagine even the most adventuring of women falling in love with a prince-turned-beast. It was impossible to imagine a man doing so.
(A gay Beauty and the Beast retelling.)
