No Black or White in the

by MemoryDragon

Anthony Stark just wants to drink and contemplate his failures in peace. Unfortunately, Antonio Stark chose just that moment to appear. Now Tony has to deal with an alternate version of himself, the tension between him and Steve, and the differences between the dimensions on top of everything else. But the biggest monster maybe too much for even two Tonys to stop...

a mysterious way about you, dear

by starryluvs

There are many things Ei prides herself on knowing. Her status as a god only serves as proof of it. But there's little knowledge in the realms that prepares her for this menace of a woman that Ei just can't wrap her head around. Or, the one where Miko is a flirt and Ei is confused.

Both In Red and White

by RaiNoMichi (KakumeiNoHi)

Miko stood in front of the mirror in the Head Shrine Maiden’s room. It was early in the morning and usually she hated getting usp just before sunrise but today was different – after all she had great responsibilities today. Just as she had for the past several days now since Lady Saiguu left to help Lady Ei in battle.Miko took a deep breath and puffed herself up proudly. She had to look as presentable as possible. After all Lady Saiguu had told her to look after the Grand Narukami Shrine for her while she was gone.And Miko was going to make sure she would do the best job ever so Lady Saiguu would praise her. And maybe she would even make her some special fried tofu. Not that Miko would care about such mere mortal frivolous things…Okay, maybe she cared a little after all - but that was Lady Saiguu’s fault for making such tasty tofu, really. Even though sometimes Miko didn’t really feel like having some...

i'll be your quiet afternoon crush (be your violent overnight rush)

by Anonymous

Miko sets the book down and shifts closer to Ei, repeating again and again in her mind—what they have now is enough. (She reminds herself this as they lay on the grass, counting each star in the sky. She reminds herself again when Ei points to one that she’s called her favorite a million times before, saying it reminds her of Miko. She reminds herself again and again and again, even when Ei’s hands brush against hers and she feels like a star at its supernova, fragile and overwhelmingly alert. Still, she can’t help but think—what if it was more?)

Favor from the Queen

by Archwraith

The Alliance and the Horde agreed for a temporary truce after the war in Northend is over. Jaina decided to take advantage of the situation by holding a celebration in Theramore during Winter Veil by inviting all races from both factions, to prove that peace can last as long as people are willing for it. Unfortunately, no leader from any faction can arrive there to except a certain someone who was watching from the shadow.

Plane of Solitude

by paravide

Nobody was made to live by themselves, not even the gods. 500 years is an awfully long time to seclude oneself from the rest of the world, and the cracks in Ei’s resolve are enough to expose the pain she endures. She does it to preserve all that is beautiful for all eternity, and yet, it feels as though she holds onto nothing more than fleeting moments of the past she longs to relive.The ache in her heart is not only from shutting herself out from life’s pleasures, but the constant hurtful reminder that she never said goodbye to someone she owed it to.An Ei POV of her experience in the Plane of Euthymia, reminiscing over old memories she shared with Yae Miko.

He has to put up with my

by Archid

Day 26- Dark Nights + “Brushing your lips together, lingering for a moment”Imperium Xavier and Imperium “Snowflake”: Xavier and Snowflake go out stargazing, sneaking to the roof and sharing sweet kisses.__“At least save your moment capturing until after I get the affection I’ve been missing all week.” They mused, taking their hands off his chest so they could flick his nose before kissing it. Xavier’s face flushed and he hummed.“But Snowflake, my need to take a screenshot of this moment is much too strong to give into the temptation of your love.” He mumbled against their lips, kissing them again.“Okay yeah, just come on.” They smiled internally, pulling him to the back of the Enforcer building so they could climb up the ladder they stole a long time ago and set on the back.

Day 30- Illuminations/Fireworks + “Reacting to the other one crying about something”Imperium Regulus and Imperium Precious: In which Precious’s guilt of loving Regulus comes back to bite them, despite their lack of regrets. Regulus gives his Precious a show with his magic, his own token of appreciation for being and bringing so much beauty into his life.(Whether or not they have their own free will is up to your interpretation!)__“The room is dark.” He said, watching them flick their eyes to him and sink into the bed a little more. “But that only makes it easier to see the bright things, whether or not they have colors to them or not.”Precious sniffed quietly, watching him with curious eyes. Boy did he love those eyes.“Kind of like you and me.” He said, turning his head to them and smiling gratefully. “This world is dark, and that can make it hard to see. But that also makes you shine brighter.”
