    Summary

    He's always been a bit weird about pain, he knows that. Knows that he can take more of it than most other men, that he’s proud of how much of it he can take. He’s not ashamed of that; he uses it, takes advantage of the edge it gives him in a fight.

    But this, the way he gets when he does this… it’s something else entirely. It makes him feel smaller. Fragile. Breakable, cracked open. Makes him want to be good, to be held, to be wanted in return.

    Zoro likes men, he likes pain, and he likes being marked. He gets his fix of all three from sparring with his oblivious straight crewmate Sanji, and that's enough... until it isn't.

    A collaboration for the Lemon Lime Bang 2025/26 between writer Violet Smith and wonderful artist Ciro. Find Ciro on instagram here!

    There's a road trip, an alarming amount of sharks and the slow, stubborn realisation that maybe Zoro's crush isn't as one-sided as he thinks.

    Summary

    "With all due respect, I would rather work on a mission of this gravity with someone who has... the proper skillset. One of the girls, perhaps?"

    Zoro's teeth and fists clenched until his knuckles went white and his canines ground into each other. Each little jab, each professional condescension, made that itching feeling grow into an agitating burn.

    "Blackleg, my boy, that's where you're wrong. Sword-boy's skillset is essential to this mission. There's no job without him."

    Zoro had to suppress a cocky smirk begging to spread across his face. "In that case, I want a different partner."

    "Nobody else on your team is qualified."

    Now, the only thing Zoro had to suppress was the urge to bash his head into the desk.

    Summary

    Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
    Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
    Cover art by Lao-Pendragon

    ------

    For many long years Merlin waited.

    For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.

    Until one day, suddenly, it did.

    When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.

    Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

    Summary

    "You came to the edge of Time and Night, at the borders of oblivion, to offer me the chance to undo my death and return to life?"

    "Before I answer that question, I want to know if you're about to call me an idiot."

    "I cannot swear that I am not," Dream says, with the faintest hint of a smile. "Even for you, Hob, this is dangerous. More than you understand. And yet," he adds before Hob can formulate a defence, "I am. Honoured. You should not have come, but..."

    "But you're kind of glad I did, aren't you?"

     

    (Hob Gadling attends the funeral of the King of Dreams. But that isn't where the story ends. It's only where it begins.)
