Summary
In the aftermath of Astarion's confession...now some weeks afterward, Iago is feeling all too many emotions at once and needs to blow off some steam. His thoughts drifting to a certain vampire of debonair charm and a past shrouded in hurt that had effortlessly staked a claim on his heart throughout their collective journey thus far.
What he did not expect, however, are the prying eyes and the stroking of a tadpole that is not his own against his mind.

Summary
When you buy an old abandoned house, you're typically concerned with the horrors that exist outside of it. A storm sends rain through the roof, a burglar eager to steal what few charming possessions remain, an unruly raccoon upends the garbage. Normal, mundane, everyday problems.
It never crosses your mind that the real horror exists inside the house, but it is all too eager to consider you.

Maya cracks open one eye. ‘Nick, your text noise is so boring,’ she says. ‘You really need to spice it up a bit. Hey, how about a Steel Samurai sound effect to match your ringtone? I have a really good one of the Steel Samurai yelling I counter!. It’s only five dollars – here, pass me your phone, you just have to text a number to download it –’
‘Don’t you dare,’ says Phoenix, holding his phone out of her reach. ‘If that’s what you spend your share of the money on, maybe I should let you buy the burgers for a change sometimes.’
‘I buy other important stuff too. Like key chains, and cream puffs, and Nickel Samurai posters, and – oh.’

In which Pearl, Maya and Phoenix process the Engarde trial in their own ways; and in which Phoenix receives a late-night text.

Summary
"The curse is related to how I insulted her. The cure is to do with… kissing,” Sanji reveals, trying to sound casual about it. “See? Why worry about something silly like that?”
“That’s it? That’s easy,” Zoro says.
Grabbing him by the arms, Zoro pulls the cook up against him, his rag doll body coming readily, his weight easy to bear. Kissing Sanji feels like nothing, just a hard smash of lips with no passion or pretense.
Strong hands push him away with enough force to send him stumbling back. Standing by the sink, Sanji points an accusing finger at him, wiping his lips with a sleeve. “The fuck is the matter with you?!”
Zoro can’t help but lick his own lips. “What? Did it not work?”
“No, it didn’t work. Fuck!” Sanji shakes his arms as if trying to rid himself of some energy overflow. “I said it’s to do with kissing, not actual kissing.”
“Oh… my bad.”
“‘My bad’- I’m going to kill you!”
Zoro smirks. “Well, at least you’re up, huh?”
*****
Sanji is cursed into needing to kiss someone daily. Zoro is a good nakama and is also available.
Written for the "Always with You" ZoSan Zine!

Summary
“How can I not? You…” Moze grits his teeth. His face is pained, but Jiaoqiu can’t see it. “You almost died in my arms.”
If I could do it over again, I would have stayed by your side the whole time.
Jiaoqiu’s heart skips a beat at Moze’s words. He can hear it in his voice. The pain. What were Moze’s thoughts that day when he found him like that? What had crossed his mind?
His fluffy tail wraps itself around Moze’s leg, shyly holding onto him, wanting to be closer.
My insignificant life… Jiaoqiu thinks. It’s not insignificant to you, is it?
