A Hoppy Accident

Fandom: D.Gray-man Rating: G Pairing: Lavi/Allen Walker Total Words: 6.7k

This was written for day 5 of Laven Week 2023 (hosted by @lavenlovers)

Day Five - Free Day

Summary: Allen is asked to take care of a bunny that was, for some reason, in the science department by Komui. Not sure why he was the one asked, surely there are better things for an exorcist to do, Allen agrees.

He finds himself enjoying looking after the sweet rabbit but maybe there was something Komui forgot to tell him.

Excerpt:

"You... wanted to see me?" Allen asked, his gaze drawn back to the rabbit as it hopped around to face him, its nose wiggling. It took all of Allen's willpower not to start cooing at how adorable the fluffy creature was.

The rabbit was beautiful. It had sleek, bright red fur with a few tufts flicking out wildly and gorgeous, bright green eyes. Allen hadn't been aware that rabbits could have green eyes but what caught his attention, and concern, more was that it kept its right eye closed. Had the poor thing lost it?

Komui stood from his chair and walked around his desk, carelessly stepping on the papers that carpeted the floor. "Yes, I have an important job for you," he said in the tone he reserved for tough missions. Instinctively Allen straightened and waited for Komui to continue, though when he sweeps a hand in the direction of the bunny he sagged in confusion. "I need you to look after this little guy."

Blood & Kisses

Written for Laven Week 2023. (Thanks for hosting, @lavenlovers!) Day 5 (Fri 8/11): Free Day! Title: Blood & Kisses Fandom: D. Gray-Man. Pairings: Lavi Bookman/Allen Walker. Rated: Explicit. Words: 3K+. Tags: Modern Setting, Supernatural Elements, Vampires, Established Relationship, Secret Relationship, Lemon, Blood Drinking, Blood Kink (Please see AO3 for full list of tags and warnings). Chapters: 1/1. Summary: For Lavi, a certain late night visitor is always more than welcome. Excerpt:

Lavi cleaned up, organizing the counter and taking the opportunity to put away a few new book arrivals that had been delivered. He hadn’t gotten a chance to take care of them while the store was open, with any customers having distracted him. Usually, he and his grandfather both worked, the bookshop being one that their family had run for years. However, Bookman was away on a trip and wouldn’t return for a few more days. Lavi didn’t mind too much — especially when he got a chance to run the store at his own pace. ‘Almost done.’ He grunted, lifting one box onto the counter. Some older leather-bound editions were packed inside from an antique shop they sometimes worked with. Lavi’s nose twitched at the smell of dust and paused. He’d have to think about where to put those. ‘Maybe I’ll wait for Gramps to come back before doing anything with them.’ Something shuffled in the back, snatching Lavi’s attention. He looked up, green eye glinting as his lips pressed together — though the air turned still. Did he imagine it? Lavi shook his head, about to return his attention to the books, but paused as he heard shuffling — then, footsteps.

Dirty Little Secret

Fandom: D.Gray-man Rating: E Pairing: Laven (Allen x Lavi) Total Words: 2.5K Tags: Canon Divergent; Secret Relationship

This is written for Day 4 of Laven Week 2023 (hosted by @lavenlovers)!

Prompts used: Secrets, Intimacy

Excerpt:

Arousal swirled in Allen’s stomach as he watched the redhead from the corner of his eye. He knew what he wanted, but felt a strange bout of shyness at the thought of expressing it. Instead of being direct, he tried the subtle approach. “Would you mind if I take the lead?” “Oh?” Lavi asked, interest piqued. “You wanna take charge? Boss me around?” Allen tried to smother his smirk, but failed. Lavi had no clue. “Something like that.”

Tea and Cuddles

Fandom: D.Gray-man Rating: G Pairing: Lavi/Allen Walker Total Words: 1.6k

This was written for day 1 of Laven Week 2023 (hosted by @lavenlovers)

Day One - Dawn Sunrise | Spring | Awakenings | Coffee/Tea | Birdsong

Summary: After a rough night of fighting two young exorcists take a moment to enjoy a slow, quiet morning cuddled together.

Excerpt:

Allen's smile softened as he reached up to brush a few stray strands of wild hair from Lavi's face causing him to nuzzle closer, mumbling something incomprehensible on a sigh though not showing any signs of waking. Letting his head sink back into the plush pillow Allen closed his eyes, allowing himself to bask in the calm moment.

The warmth of the light playing across his face and Lavi's soft snores beside him nearly lulled Allen back to sleep but he lightly shook his head and carefully extracted his arm from Lavi's grip, being careful not to wake him. He needed sleep after the battle they had just endured the day before. They both did really but Lavi had sustained more injuries than he should have by protecting the finders with them after their talismans failed.

Prompts used: Rain/Storms

Excerpt:

Leaning forward and resting his hands on his slightly bent knees, Allen exhaled heavily and shook his head, drops of water shaking free from the soaked strands. “It wasn’t supposed to rain today.” “Tell that to the clouds,” Lavi replied with a laugh. “Guess that ruins our plans to meet up with the others, huh?”

Summer Heat

Fandom: D.Gray-man Rating: E Pairing: Laven (Allen x Lavi) Total Words: 1.8K Tags: Modern AU; Omegaverse; Omega x Omega; Omega!Lavi; Omega!Allen; Heat Cycles

This is written for Day 2 of Laven Week 2023 (hosted by @lavenlovers)!

Prompts used: Heat

Excerpt:

The dead of summer was the worst time to go through a heat. What was already an intensely uncomfortable situation became nearly unbearable. The hot temperatures, the sweaty skin, the humid air, the stench of arousal, and the burn of chafed flesh… Lavi hated how everything felt like too much and not enough all at once. It overwhelmed him in all the best and worst ways. For years he’d been lucky enough to fall into his yearly heat during the winter months. It was easier to manage overheated flesh by opening a window and letting the frosty air inside to cool his boiling blood. It made an uncomfortable experience easier to bear. But then he met Allen, and like a traitor, his body’s yearly rhythm synced to Allen’s schedule. And Allen always had his heat during the hottest days of the year. It was miserable. But at least they could be miserable together.

This is written for Day 1 of Laven Week 2023 (hosted by @lavenlovers)!

Prompts used: Sunrise; Awakenings

Excerpt:

Allen exhaled softly as his silver eyes slowly opened. Faint sunlight from the incoming dawn peeked through the open window, yet to scare away the night’s shadows from the inn room. Sweat collected on his skin, the summer heat clinging even through the cooler night. Sticky and sore, he blinked up at the ceiling as the events of last night returned to the forefront of his mind. No—it wasn’t the enduring heat of summer that had him sweating like a sinner in church. It was the equally heated body lying next to him.

Fade

Written for Laven Week 2023. (Thanks for hosting, @lavenlovers!) Day 3 (Wed 8/9): Dusk — Sunset | Autumn | Bonfires | Rain/Storms | Death Title: Fade Fandom: D. Gray-Man. Pairings: Lavi Bookman/Allen Walker. Rated: T. Words: 2.5K+. Tags: Canon Divergence, Canonverse, Exorcist AU, Memory Alteration/Loss, Amnesia, Angst (Please see AO3 for full list of tags and warnings). Chapters: 1/1. Summary: To hide history, sometimes you have to hide the memories with it. Excerpt:

The bartender approached, a rag thrown over his shoulder. “Know what you want?” he asked, taking the rag and wiping down the bar. The young man looked over and grinned. “Yeah, some of the potato leek soup sounds pretty good.” “Got it.” Leaning forward against the bar, he rested his chin in the palm of his hand, green eye subtly scanning his surroundings. The other two men at the bar dealt some cards a few seats down, the sound of shuffling catching the young man’s attention. As one of the patrons took their cards, their back faced the young man, allowing him a glimpse of their hand— An ace of spades card. He froze, the young man’s thoughts drawing a blank. He didn’t even notice the rest of the patron’s hand, his focus completely fixated on that one, single ace card.  …A face with silvery gray eyes. White hair…. …A scar. There was a scar, wasn’t there? A face with silvery gray eyes, a scar framed by white hair…
