Mme C- and the Strange Seas of Europa on AO3

First Line: When Marcello had gone to bespeak the party a gas balloon with a traveller's carriage slung beneath it – for he did not trust any of the party except the Marquess to reliably perform this feat, being mere tourists all, and the Marquess he would not currently suffer to undertake any task even as tiring as negotiation with a semi-sapient AI juice bar – Aubrey turned to Clorinda and said, “I had no real expectation, when last I was here, at this port, of ever seeing dear old Europa again.”

Title: Keep Other Times
Author: Tiamat’s Child
Fandom: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Word Count:
Rating: General Audiences
Characters/Pairing: Jyn Erso & Cassian Andor
Summary: Jyn takes a middle of the night nap in Cassian's bunk. She's always been able to sleep anywhere, but it's good to get a chance to rest somewhere where rest is easy.
Warnings: None.
Notes: For guinevak, for the Aromantic Characters Exchange.

Keep Other Times on Ao3

Title: With Feelings a Hundredfold
Author: Tiamat’s Child
Fandom: The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù
Word Count:
Rating: Mature
Characters/Pairing: Luò Bīnghé/Shěn Yuán | Shěn Qīngqiū
Summary: Luo Binghe said some things the other night, while doing a few other things, and Shen Qingqiu can't quite get them out of his head. So he's going to ask! Today! This very hour!

Shen Qingqiu is going to communicate if it kills him! (Which it won't. He is very aware of that. If squirming embarrassment were regularly fatal, he'd have died many more than three times to date.)
Warnings: Kink negotiation, discussion of rough oral sex.
Notes: Written for Remix Revival 2020. Inspired by Evonius's oral Exercise.

First Line: Shen Qingqiu asked over tea.
