The Underpants Heist Ch 11 Posted!
It's been a long time coming but it's finally here.
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 | Chapter 8 | Chapter 9 | Chapter 10 | Chapter 11
Word Count: 12,450/118,579
Fic Summary: Following War Games and the events at Resson, Bodhi is overwhlemed by grief, the rebellion, and his new position as Flame Sectionleader and finds himself turning to Liam's squadmate Ridoc for solace as the two scheme an elaborate plan to steal Commandant Panchek's underpants. And somehow, much to his surprise, Bodhi finds himself falling for the larger-than-life rider.
Note: This fic is an Iron Flame retelling from Bodhi & Ridoc’s POV.
Chapter Summary: Ridoc endures RSC with his squad and discovers a few uncomfortable truths. One, he can't live without Bodhi. Two, Bodhi might not be who Ridoc thinks he is.
Excerpt:
“Yeah, well, I’m going to go rub one out in the shower.” He paused and forced a grin to his face. “Unless you’d like to help me out.” Imogen made a stop gesture with her hands as her face contorted. “Gross, Gamlyn.” He could tell by the look on Imogen’s face that she knew his heart wasn’t in it. “Your loss.” Ridoc winked and spun on his heel, hurrying down the third-year corridor to the stairs before Imogen could say anything to make this even worse.
Thanks to @alexandia03 @suebswrites @sarahydeart and Niv for beta
Special thanks to @acourtofladydeath for the inspiration for the line about Imogen's Blue Balls

The Moment I Knew
Liam Mairi x Jesinia Neilwart x Sawyer Henrick
Fourth Wing/Iron Flame AU - What if Liam lives
Summary: When Sawyer Henrick is seriously injured during the Battle of Basgaith, Liam Mairi realizes that his girlfriend isn't the only one feeling more than friendship for the man.
Word Count: 5.6k
“I know it’s shit that you’ve lost some autonomy. You can wheel yourself to breakfast, I won’t make you be pushed around everywhere. And if you’re feeling up for it later, we can help you practice with the crutch,” Liam says tenderly. He leans down so his breath is hot on Sawyer’s ear. Voice low, he adds, “But trust that we want to take care of you. We want to help you.” His lips ghost against the outer shell of Sawyer’s ear and he’s keenly aware of the goosebumps emerging on Sawyer’s neck. “And the only other thing we want to do is you.”
This was written by @yanny-77 and myself and oh boy, it was a delight to write with Yams! She really has a magic touch when it comes to words.
Thank you to @suebswrites for beta!
Read Ch 1 of The Moment I Knew here. :)

Pink Pony Club
A Bodhi Durran fic dedicated to everyone who participated in the @rq-gift-exchange.
P.S. I am feeling very needy not having an official giftee for the event. Please shower me with love and praise. (Half kidding)
Read Now on AO3
Summary:
Any time Bodhi has to face the memories of his small hometown, Aretia, Tennessee, it’s painful. But after moving LA just over a year ago, he’s found a new home: at the Pink Pony Club.
As a performer at the club, he can be whoever he wants to be. He can be cool. He can be sexy. He can be expressive. He can even be himself.
Life in LA is better than he ever could have imagined. His new friends love and accept him for who he is, in a way his friends and family back home never could. He gets to dance without anyone judging him.
And tonight, he’s going to get what he wants most of all: the attention of the man at the front-left table who comes to all his shows, the one with the beautiful eyes. He doesn’t even know the man’s name yet, but Bodhi’s determined to meet him at last.
Because no matter what Mama or God may think, he is Bodhi Durran, and he is fucking beautiful.
Status: Complete Words: 21,463
Rating: Explicit Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply Category: M/M Relationships: Bodhi Durran/Ridoc Gamlyn Characters: Bodhi Durran, Ridoc Gamlyn, Imogen Cardulo, Xaden Riorson, Liam Mairi, Quinn (Empyrean), Heaton (Empyrean), Tyvon Varen, Rhiannon Matthias, Tara (Empyrean), Sawyer Henrick Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Drag Queens, LGBTQ Themes, Hurt/Comfort, Romance, Soulmates, Love at First Sight, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence ,Self-Acceptance, Explicit Sexual Content, Anal Sex, jorts
Excerpt:
Bodhi stands in the stage-right wing, waiting, his legs jiggling nervously. He loves performing here, but ever since his parent’s disastrous visit, the excitement turns sour in the moments right before he’s announced. It’s okay to love this, he reminds himself. It doesn’t make him an abomination or an affront to God, no matter what his father says.
He was born this way. God doesn’t make mistakes.
The crowd breaks into applause as the performer before Bodhi exits the stage. They smile at him and give him a light tap on the ass. “Go get ‘em, Coco,” they say with a wink before disappearing to their dressing room.
The emcee takes the stage, a bubbly blonde named Quinn. She’s wearing lingerie with sparkles and fringe with a cowboy hat and boots to match the blue streak in her hair. Just like that, all the nerves fade away.
Note: While I consider this to be a hopeful fic about Bodhi being comfortable in his own skin, it includes some difficult themes from Bodhi's past including religion, homophobia, and being outed before he was ready.

FILL YOUR EMPTY SPACES
Fluffy, smutty Riorgail fic for @sliebman10 for the 2024 @rq-gift-exchange!
After Violet asked him to share a secret with her, Xaden flies with her to one of his secret spots. A place no one else knows about.
Away from the chaos of everything, they finally get a moment that's truly their own. Xaden shares two secrets with Violet.
Here's a little excerpt:
And now it’s just the two of them. “Remember how I told you I’d give you answers if you asked the right questions?” Xaden asks. “You asked me to show you a secret, so I’m showing you two.” Violet scoffs. “That answers my question without answering my question. I thought you were going to show me some secret plans you’ve figured out with the others.” “This spot is the first secret,” Xaden says as he wraps his arms around Violet’s waist from behind. He tucks his chin on her shoulder and kisses the bottom of her neck. “My father used to bring me here to read, practice sparring, train harder, or whenever he felt like we just needed a break from everything going on in the world.”
Thank you to overjoyedisland and @yanny-77 for being my betas.

@alltoowellread blessing me with more content of one of my fave ships 🤩
New Chapter: The Grape Escape
Oh, look, two chapters in one day. 🤣
This started as a one-shot for the @rq-gift-exchange, and now it's a question mark on how long it will be. I just know I'm not done with these two exhibionists yet.
Thanks to @korrinamoe for giving me the Minion request, because apparently it really inspired me. 🤪

Literally so obsessed with this, I haven’t stopped thinking about it all day 🤭
I think i need to draw aaric
The Grape Escape
For the @rq-gift-exchange. I know I'm posting it way early but I couldn't help myself. My giftee is @korrinamoe!
The request: I would love to read something with a fluffy moment (doesn't have to be all fluff though)...Must have kissing...If possible, please have the characters use a weapon/gadget from any Minions/Despicable Me movies, but still set in the normal Empyrean universe.
Hope you don't mind that the kissing is...a bit out of order... 👀 🙊
Thanks to my betas @yanny-77 and @sarahydeart

Over a year later and she's finally finished.
Many of you know me as an ACOTAR writer, but my first fics were for different fandoms in 2016. I went on a long writing hiatus because life happened, but in 2023 I read "The Song of Achilles" and it inspired me to write again. This was my first fic back after that hiatus, and I've finally finished the last chapter.
My style has changed a lot since I started this fic, and I've grown as a writer immensely. It's exciting and humbling to see where I started back in 2016, where I restarted in 2023, and where I'm at now in 2024.
"A Place Eternal" follows Patroclus and Achilles as the reunite in the underworld with the help of Hades and Persephone. If you're interested and would like to start reading it for the first time, you can start at the beginning with Chapter 1: Arrival. If you've been waiting for the final installment, here is a link to Chapter 7: Reunited.
I've posted a small snippet from the first chapter below. Thank you all for being a part of my journey.
When he finally arrived underground, Patroclus was breathless. Literally of course, but figuratively as well for what he saw before him was unlike anything he had ever expected. The underworld was dark, yes, but he didn’t know that it could also be beautiful. A river was flowing next to him, so unlike the rivers he’d spent the past ten years next to in Troy. For even in death, the souls that swam within it were brimming with the stories of their lives. So many stories. Ones of passion and pain like his own, but also ones of simple pleasure. Stolen moments of the world above forever remembered as they flowed through this dark chasm, lighting the walls all around with their vibrancy. He gasped slightly, his jaw falling slack as for one moment his mind was distracted from his purpose. In awe of the motion he realized that he had form again, had the ability to articulate and move with purpose. Not just that, he felt the motion of his body. It was disconcerting after the time he spent a mere wisp waiting for his name to be recorded so he could pass on to this next world. Watching the river he heard a deep male voice from behind him, “We’ve been expecting you.” Turning frantically hoping to see his love, but knowing the voice was not his, Patroclus was shocked to see Hades and Persephone watching.
