ish's Civilization Series

the land of rest, the return of eternity

by aurorapng, t4lksaxy (aurorapng)

The name ‘Saparata’ was well-known across the world for his efficient killings, moreover, he also worked for a famous former hunter named Ish as a part of his vampire-hunting company. It wasn’t out of the question if Saps wouldn’t be in the house for the entire day — hell, his record time was two weeks before he could return home. He had left a note on the countertop earlier saying he had a commission to do, and wouldn’t return until ten. He was now three hours late.˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♰ ꒱ ˎˊ˗It was past 1 am, and Saparata wasn't home.

Sometimes all a man

by ok_this_is_love

Clark lands beside him without a word. No greeting, no preamble. He’s been out too, somewhere in Metropolis, maybe across the world, because his hair is wind-tousled, his cheeks faintly pink from the cold, but he doesn’t feel it.And then--there it is again. That weight. That warmth.Clark’s coat, draped over his shoulders like it belongs there.

Close Enough

by Avel_isy

Sherlock was the first to wake. He opened his eyes slowly, blinked once, twice, then froze.William was still asleep, barely moving, his breathing even against Sherlock's chest. His left arm was draped over Sherlock's body, as if embracing him in his sleep. His hair was messy, a few strands stuck to Sherlock's neck. There was a trace of warmth between them that made the embrace feel natural.Sherlock held his breath. His mind went blank. Then full. Then blank again. A part of him wanted to move, to pull away gently and give space. But another part knew that if he moved now, William would wake. And for some reason, he didn't want that.He didn't want to disturb William's sleep.He rarely saw William sleep this closely. A strange warmth rose inside him. He lowered his gaze slightly, studying William's face. The scar over his eye had begun to fade. There was a little color in his cheeks again. He looked alive. And the beautiful face of that blonde man was close. Too close.

A Day of Different Choices

by MinorRecalibrations

After a run through the cold, Bond and Q stop for tea.Bond chooses something different. Q notices.They talk about tea, about biscuits, and — carefully — about choosing things for themselves.----“Not your usual.”Bond’s reply came after a sip. Calm, without defensiveness:“Thought I’d try something different.”That earned a small huff — almost a smile.Q tilted his head slightly, voice light:“That’s good. I’d hate to think you were only drinking what I do.”

Unspoken Things (We Only Say in Silence)

by LunarWhisper2

Two couples. Two offices. Two different kinds of silence.🕊️ Sky and Nani are secretly married — soft-spoken, gentle, and private.But when one keeps forgetting to wear his ring, and the other keeps pretending it doesn’t hurt,even the quietest love can begin to ache.💼 Shin and Saint are married too — only no one knows.Shin is the cold, feared boss. Saint is the sunshine everyone flocks to.But when a little harmless flirtation sets off a storm of possessiveness,it’s only a matter of time before one of them breaks their own rules.In a world of hidden glances, glass office walls, and too much professionalism,love still finds a way — in whispers, tension, soft apologies, and the rings they never really stopped wearing.Because sometimes, it’s not the world you need to tell.It’s the person who’s forgotten how much they still mean to you.

Green

by hinnyloafs

She hesitated at the doorway, turning back to him. He’d already returned to the window, but his posture was different now—shoulders slightly lower, attention still half on her. And that damned green shirt on the dresser stayed stubbornly in her periphery. “Why green?” she asked before she could stop herself. His answer came without hesitation, the corner of his eye flicked toward her. “It suits the morning, don’t you think?” Or Klaus wearing clothes in Hayley’s favourite colour.
