Friction of the Soul by Malvari for Etalice
Fandoms: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Video Game)
09 Aug 2026

Summary
On January 2nd, 1906, the landscape of France was changed forever when a mysterious wartime event created the Lumière Battlefield Exclusion Zone. Commonly called the Cambium, this place is as beautiful as a painting and deadly as a snake. It is filled with traps, nevrons, mythical artifacts, and—worst of all—a tragic truth lurking underneath a paint-stippled surface.
Guided by the famed Expedition member Verso, Gustave, his friends Sciel and Lune, and his ward Maelle enter the Cambium on a trip with (possibly) no return. Nothing goes to plan, and when Verso turns out to have his own agenda, things fall apart rapidly.
[Or: The Roadside Picnic/Stalker AU nobody asked for.]

Summary
One quiet winter afternoon, a strangely-dressed man with an aureole over his head falls out of the sky.
Or: Verso thought that it would all end after he expelled Maelle from the Canvas and put the Soul Fragment to rest. Fate seems to have other ideas. Finding himself somewhere else entirely, he has to deal with the unbearable chains of life weighing on him once more.

Summary
There are two reasons why he puts up with stuck-up nobles sneering at him condescendingly for mixing up the forks at dinner, making arrogant comments about his missing arm, and thinking him stupid for being a laborer.
First and foremost: his support for his sister on her way: the first working-class councilwoman in the city of Lumière. For her and Maëlle, he would pluck the moon and all the stars from the sky. As long as Emma needed him, he would go to any soirée and make an ass out of himself; antiquated traditions be damned.
Secondly, though?
To stare yearningly at Verso Dessendre.Due to her role as councilwoman, Emma gets invited to a lot of high society events. Gustave surely only accompanies her because societal expectations require it. And not at all because he is in love with a certain Verso Dessendre.
Now he's dressed up as a forest spirit and feeling uncomfortable at a masquerade ball. So much for masks hiding differences, right?
Luckily, Verso has plans of his own. -

Summary

A run-in with a strange, but lovely man he should know makes him...remember things. -

Audio, Video, Disco (lat.): I hear, I see, I learn. Or maybe it's just audiovisual media and a disco reference.

Now contains ~17% more disco.

Inter-departmental Fraternization by mswhich for The_confused_writer
Fandoms: Original Work
14 Nov 2021
Tags
Summary
Stanley works for the Department of Closets. He’s been with the Agency long enough to be entirely unsurprised at the galactic-level cock-up that has somehow managed to assign two agents to the same client’s bedroom.
Bertram’s with the Department of Beds. He hasn’t even been on the job for a full day yet, and so far it’s all going wrong.
It’s a story about the monster in the closet (who likes comfortable chairs and a nice cup of tea) and the monster under the bed (who likes doing a good job and following the rules) and what happens when they start to like each other best out of everything.

Summary
Wimsey found Bunter in a kitchen at the back, sitting on a stool, having a bandage expertly applied to a wound on his head by a tidy little man with his sleeves rolled up. Bunter’s knuckles were red, his collar was ripped, and there were bloodstains all over his shirt.

Summary
Dan shivers, can't help himself. Dumb, animal fear, and he wants to bare his throat to it. “What are you – ”
“I promised,” Hess whispers. “I promised. But just this, alright? It'll be like it never happened.” He slides a step nearer, the pressure of his fingers hard and greedy. “It won't matter.”
After the apocalypse doesn't quite happen, Daniel Waters is just trying to return to his nice, quiet life. What he gets instead is a new neighbour. Hess is friendly, charming and working with demons. He's also strangely familiar.
There are gaps in Dan's memory, but that doesn't seem to matter. They say the devil always looks after his own, and apparently?
Well, apparently Dan belongs to the devil.

Summary
An omega mage is suffering in the middle of battle, but it isn’t sickness or heat. He doesn’t know what this is at all. He just feels hollow and panicky. So he pulls himself from the conflict to hide away in a ruin, biding his time to calm down. But it only gets worse. He’s shaky and weak, he doesn’t understand why, and it isn’t stopping.
And then the alpha commander of the enemy militia finds him. It should spell doom for him, but the other man is suddenly more empathetic than he’s ever seen him. The alpha seems to understand what’s happening to the omega in a way he hasn’t been able to comprehend himself.
He’s starved for kindness, and he’s finally breaking from the lack of it.
Merciful to the sight, the enemy commander takes pity and works to soothe the aching omega.

Summary
So, Soap’s a big guy. Obviously.
He’s not overly tall, but he’s wide in the shoulders and thick in the thighs. He’s the kind of big that’s naturally built all over: training muscles on top of mission muscles on top of an innate bulk.
He’s the kind of big that makes him immovable to most guys.
The kind of big that’s always been -ger than most everyone else—if not by height, than at least by heft.
So when they’re on mission and Ghost spots a grenade before Soap does, and, with no time to warn him, grabs him by the waist and flings him back behind cover, gear and all, Soap’s really not expecting to think much about it, aside from maybe, ‘Oh, shit.’
What he thinks instead is: ‘Oh-hmm.’
And then, in rapid succession: ‘Big.’
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
Or, Soap realizes that Ghost is bigger than him. His dick realizes that’s hot.
