The Consort of Crown and Blood by house_of_lantis

Summary
When a human head of state publicly insults the ancient Vampire King, the price of peace is a political union. Shane Hollander, high school teacher and assistant hockey coach, is one of the only humans in the world with a rare bloodline. He’s given an impossible choice: become a Tribute Consort to vampire Crown Prince Ilya, or watch the human race burn.
Their union is meant to be a symbolic gesture to prevent war. Shane tells himself he can survive the vampire court's deadly politics, the centuries-old intrigue, and the weight of being a living apology for his species' mistakes.
What he doesn't expect is the way Ilya looks at him when no one else is watching.
When a secret society abducts Shane to drain and auction his rare blood to the highest bidder, the carefully constructed facade shatters. The vampire Crown Prince the world fears isn't cold at all, he's been holding something far more dangerous in check. And what Ilya is willing to destroy to reclaim his Consort will reshape the balance of power between their worlds.

Summary
In June of 2022, I decided, well hey, I want to try something new. Challenge myself. I thought: let's try and write a short story every day on Twitter, covering as much of the spectrum of queer love as I knew how.
It was meant to push me to write in a way I'm completely unaccustomed to. Short, quick, imperfect. I like to experiment, but the time and format constraints meant I had to do it FAST.
I didn't end up posting every day, but I posted more days than not! 19 out of 30 days saw a story (or part of a story; two of the stories had to be broken up into parts) from me. I didn't cover as many different aspects of queer love as I wanted, but I managed to hit a few of the big ones. This experiment, in short, was a success: I wrote quickly and imperfectly, and learned to let the stories go.
I don't know if I'll do it again, but it was absolutely worth trying just to see what I could accomplish; I hope you find the stories worth reading.

Summary
As a grease monkey turned college freshman, Dean's constantly three seconds away from being stressed out of his mind. It hardly helps that he's finally figuring out his sexuality in his thirties.
What might help with that stress is a little phone number (and a big credit card bill). If he can't figure out how to be bisexual in person, he can at least give it a go over the phone, right?
(It's probably a bad idea, but he really can't help himself.)

The Tsar’s Indecent Hot Sauerkraut Wrestling Ring: Hot Cabbage Rampage by beautifulduckweed

Summary
Ivan is a simple farmer boy with little to his name, and then the Tsar's men take away everything he has to live for—except revenge. This summer, read the story of how one lowly peasant with nothing left to lose takes on the corrupt national pastime of hot sauerkraut wrestling, and takes down the entire Russian empire in the process.
A story in five I mean six I mean some number of parts because I'm bad at estimating how much plot I have.
