Summary
She's at the least grateful that he's suppressed his scent for their first meeting. Kitsi feels slightly regretful for not extending the same courtesy, certain that welcoming another alpha into his territory is quickly becoming uncomfortable for the prince, but he makes no indication of anything but perfect neutrality.
"Your highness," she greets, forcing her stiff limbs into a bow. "It is an honor."
Nedas offers a bow of his own, much smoother. His hair slides down with the motion, bangs curling slightly around his cheeks. It makes the hard lines of his face a bit softer, if just for a moment. "Princess Kitsi," he returns. His voice is stony, but not cold. Kitsi can admire the fact that he doesn't even need to grit his teeth through welcoming another alpha into his home. She knows she'd lack the restraint. "Welcome to Becuria."
or,
Kitsi is in love with Shiveh. Kitsi is in an arranged marriage with Prince Nedas. Somehow, this works out.
or or,
Shameless porn of my LCF ocs from Conjecture. This is embarrassing.

Summary
You step towards him with a wolfish smile. Rafayel slips a finger into one of the belt loops on your pants, tugging you closer. “I think you could stand to be knocked down a few pegs,” you say.
Rafayel’s brows raise, his eyes burning with a challenge. He opens his mouth, but the sound of the elevator arriving has him stepping back, putting a more appropriate amount of space between your bodies.
The elevator dings open and there’s no one else there. You step inside and Rafayel follows immediately, slinking in close enough behind you for you to feel the warmth of him radiating against your back. When you turn to face him, he’s staring down at you.
The door remains open for a few more seconds, waiting for any possible stragglers, and when it seems like no one else will be joining, Rafayel leans in to brush his lips against your ear.
“I dare you,” he murmurs.
So you do.
Subby-ish Rafayel as requested

Summary
Varang has taken to watching you. A lot.
It feels… challenging. Or appraising, maybe.
You avoid her to the best of your ability. You can’t look at her without thinking of the way she and Quaritch have gotten so much closer recently. They spend most of the day together; ostensibly talking strategy, but you see the way their touches linger. Even the way they look at each other like they’re the only two people in the world, as though everything else is just background noise.
But as the days pass, you realise something. When she’s not watching Quaritch with those bright, lamp-like eyes, she’s watching you.

Summary
A heartbeat of silence passes, like his father is considering the question. Like he’s trying to pull up an excuse that Lo’ak might believe, he thinks bitterly, fresh, hot tears wetting his cheeks. So desperately, he just wants his dad. “I know I’m not good, and that I’m always making things worse–”
“Lo’ak.” His father interrupts, finally. It’s not the scolding Lo’ak had been prepared for, that he deserved, and it startles him enough that he glances up, damp eyes wide. His tone had been unexpectedly gentle.
There are tears tracking down his fathers face, a look that Lo’ak doesn’t have a name for creasing his features. “My boy, I love you. You know that, don’t you? That I love you?"
Or, it doesn't always take a dead son for Jake to realize his other one is suffering.

Summary
He almost jumps at the sound as his dog, Lud, barks in surprise. Henryk quickly stands, moving to answer his door, and nearly gapes at the sight.
Magda looks up to him, her bluish lips shaking.
“Oh, little duck,” he says softly, quickly ushering her inside. He corrals her to the chimney side; she’s shaking like a leaf. “Why are you outside?”
“Papa said I was bad,” she quietly answers, and Henryk hisses between his teeth. “Said I had to sleep in the barn until I was good again… but last time I was good only after a week, and I’m so cold, Sir Henryk.”
This is sad. Like really, really sad. Inspired by Shireen Baratheon's death in GOT, just so y'all know. Major Child Death, child abuse and grief.
EDIT: Now with an alternate ending in chap 2, still sad but more bitersweet for the interested.
