    Summary

    The city isn’t small by any means, though the closest police station is nearby enough that he can hear the hurried steps of officers rushing into cars, barking orders and starting engines as they speed off into Gotham’s discomforting embrace. Across the town, in another part of the city, there are probably a group of thugs loudly attempting robbery in some small bank. The hubbubs of it aren’t audible where he stands, and sooner or later, the police will get it contained. In a different neighborhood, maybe there’s a rogue on the rise, clamoring for attention to whatever plot they’re concocting and executing. That too, is surely soon to be contained. The protectors of the city are many—and they’re often capable.

    Though perhaps, not always capable enough. Not when it matters.

    Some heinous things don’t just happen after sunset. Some things truly cruel only start up where no one can hear, causing noises only strained ears can pick up.

    Summary

    "You know I would have died in your place if I could."

    Laughter should make someone's lines look softer, gentler. But the Red Hood's body is still sharp, angled lines, meant to cut, one hand on the keris strapped to his belt and the other hand still wrapped around a gun pointed to Bruce's head.

    Summary

    none of them can get pregnant just by the virtue of both being omegas. sometimes he thinks it's a blessing, some other times, gen's mind wanders to fruitless futures where he wakes up everyday not to a cold large bed, but to soushirou's annoyingly pretty smile, where there's a bundle of joy laid down on a bed they can call theirs, a baby of their own.

    gen isn't so sure about himself, though he would try, but he knows soushirou would make a great father.

    Summary

    "captai—gen," he sounded as winded as gen felt, no matter how the sun was only rising.

    "soushirou, you idiot," gen murmurred back, closing in the distance between them once again just so they could meet in the middle as he wished.

    Summary

    what the hell is this feeling? something grips him whole and shakes him vigorously with need. soushirou weakly groans against the slab of debris he's lying on.

    "for us kaijus, we call these symptoms a heat. it’s quite a bother, isn’t it? the easiest way to relieve the symptoms is penetration.”

    Summary

    Kim Roksu was well-acquainted with a lot of books and characters, but he reached more often towards martial arts genres or high fantasy novels, not omegaverse — though he has tried once and heard enough to be able to draw some basic outline of information on it. The charm points are something Cale can understand, it just isn’t his cup of tea.

    Why didn’t Nelan Barrow specify that The Birth of A Hero, out of all things, was an omegaverse novel?

    Summary

    Tonight, as Yuder is about to close his eyes and let slumber overtake him, Kishiar stands by his door, a haunting white figure in the obscuring darkness draped comfortably over the room.

    “... Is this the end of the line, after all?”

    As always, Yuder pays it no mind.

    Summary

    “Spar with me, Captain Narumi,” he says. Before Gen can even open his mouth, he’s already blabbing again — that asshole — treating Gen like a well-worn pair of gloves played on the palms of his hands. “Or are you too scared of losing to me in close combat?”

    Gen grits his teeth. “Sure, if you want to lose so badly.”

    Hoshina’s only answer is an eerie grin, one that only thrills Gen.

    Summary

    “You are to participate in the Crown Princess Selection.”

    Today, Father told you.

    This was how you were given meaning: to be a girl was to be wed, to be tamed and to be won over, like a land or a property to step on, like a beast to catch by the snout and to put behind iron bars.

    Summary

    Sixteen. Seventeen. Yudrein dashed without a pause, taking lefts and rights to the place he had been coaching Kyrios to run to should anything go wrong.

    Regrettably, the discussion proved to be fruitful — an unwelcome twist of fate.

    Summary

    Kishiar's father — the previous Emperor — was largely absent in his childhood, his mother's light helping both Kishiar and Keilusa to accept the faint shadow his father barely casted. He had wanted to be a better parent, he still does. Though the Aile home isn't the house he's able to return to and his son calls him 'Your Grace, the Duke of Peletta' in a perfectly polite tone every birthday he misses on the Emperor's whims.

    Summary

    Yuder Aile's body, where he laid right next to Kishiar, never far away and always less than an arm's length nearby. Tangible and alive and real, warm to touch and tender within Kishiar's arms, his chest rising and falling rhythmically to the tune of the world as he slept without a care.

    In an instant, the dregs of the past, thick poisonous sludge clinging to the nooks and crannies of his complicated mind, melted away as if candle by the fire. Kishiar’s hand instinctively reached over to smooth the top of Yuder’s head, though he stopped just before he touched the black hair fanned into a mess against the white sheets they laid on. Still, where a biting cold and desaturation lingered on the tips of his fingers were now replaced by a kind of tingling where the skin of his palm hovered over Yuder’s sleeping figure.

    Summary

    Yuder might be the pinnacle of health, a sturdy and youthful body that grew up close to nature that is well-maintained in both nutrition and exercise. Still, he worries. It’s reasonable to have such concerns though, when the person in question is horrendously used to taking every burden on his shoulders. Yuder doesn’t seem to mind either, complying obediently with every single whim Kishiar asks of him. Concurrently, as Kishiar feels his mind race on and on, the very subject of his thoughts is nodding, reaching for the outer of the formal attire Kishiar had personally commissioned for him, throwing it on with a quiet affirmation.

    It warms his heart infinitely.

    Summary

    “You look beautiful. So beautiful I almost do not know what to do.” Kishiar’s voice, slightly hoarse, was muffled against his shoulder, though his eyes never faltered away from the mirror and Yuder’s figure.

    “Thank you, Commander.”

    Yuder’s lips lifted into a thin smile.

    “For this gift.”

    Summary

    Excerpt from “The Monarchs of Orr Volume 11: Emperors and Usurpers”, page 250.

    Katchian la Orr was the first Emperor of the Orr Empire who was not a descendant of the immediate imperial family. His reign was characterized by the strain of the sudden appearances of various natural disasters in the west and south of the Empire. Most of these disasters were handled by the then Cavalry Commander Kishiar la Orr and his future successor Yudrein Aile.

    Despite their best efforts, Keilusa la Orr still dies.

    Summary

    'we found out that you are most probably infertile,' enon had said, snark gone and all serious eyes.

    with the way enon had said it then, the gravity of the situation hasn't escaped him at all. and yet, the most prominent feeling that arises inside yuder is a sense of relief. wide and light as a summer breeze sweeping around the room of his heart and squeezing him with reassurance — that he stays his own person, a person.

    Summary

    "Helios, come here."

    "Brother! Come, come, come."

    Leora was at a cute age where she copied everything said in front of her. Her voice was giggly and excited and she burrowed herself impossibly deeper into Duke Peletta's embrace. She didn't get to go out a lot — not in the way Helios sometimes did — so Duke Peletta's visits were always a welcome change of scenery.

    And besides, she sparkled a little brighter when she saw him. Here, in the only four walls in the entire Empire where Leora Aile was allowed to call duke Kishiar la Orr of Peletta 'dad.'

    Summary

    One time, when he didn't know better, in a night where summer breeze flew in through the layer of folding screen put up by the window of his room, tousling his golden hair and a welcome chill nonetheless, his father beside him as they laid down, Kyrios, red eyes glimmering with a small tinge of curiosity, had asked: “Father, do people not normally have two parents?”

    And when his father didn't respond, a sense of panic and fear started bubbling up inside him. His father was still, very still. Was Father even breathing?

    “Father, it's okay if you don't answer,” he pleaded.
