"Why are you naked?" Seamus asked, throwing his arm around Kian's shoulders. 
"Why do you look like a queer cowboy Elvis?" Loki threw back at him, also putting his arm around Kian's shoulders. 
"I really can't be touched anymore right now." Kian said ducking out of their arms and laying down on the velvet couch, sprawling longways. 
Kian never assumed the afterlife would include so many dicks, but to his surprise it did. He also never even believed in the afterlife, gods or the mystical until he met the nonbinary Ceto. Ceto had never been sure that the gods hated them more than when they fell in love with Kian, or so they thought. But if Ceto had never loved Kian, would they have still met the greenest of green flags - Cavin? 
"I can't do this to him" Ceto thought, breathing deep and reprimanding their thoughts as Cavin's decadent and comforting scent surrounded their heart and soul. 
"I got you something!" Cavin said cheerfully. 
'God fucking dammit I'm going to fall in love with him.' Ceto thought again, annoyed at themselves though never at Cavin. 
Traversing death and multiple lives together, Ceto navigates love and pain while shirking "chosen one duties" but the gods have other plans and so does Cavin.All Rights Reserved

Hearts and Bodies- cmbyn by DumbMaybeJustHappy

Eventually, his shoes stepped in front of mine, so close that his pointed brown toecap nearly touched the scuffed toes of my old vans. Old and new, coming together as if time and wear had never mattered at all. Perhaps if I stared at his shoes long enough, I could forget that his face was there at all and I would never have to say a word to him. I would never even have to look him in the eye. He would never look into mine and read right away that I hated him more than I had ever hated anyone else, but also that I loved him more than I had ever loved too. And that such a love made me willing to let go of all of my hatred, my resentment, for just a small dose of what I'd had before. If I could pour Oliver into a needle and shoot him straight into my veins, letting my eyes roll back into my head and reality slip away from me, laying in a delicious delusion, I would never want for a single other thing. *** Twenty years after their first encounter, Elio is learning to accept that he and Oliver will never be together. Now living in Dresden, teaching music, and in a relationship with someone new, his time with Oliver feels a world away. Except, it's not. Oliver comes crashing back into his life and Elio realises that he can never truly move on from the Summer in Northern Italy. So, he decides that, if he can't move on, then neither should Oliver.

Love Wins (BoyxBoy) by idontpostanymore

Pease note that this is a work of fiction. Nothing in this story happened in real life, I created all events that take place in this other than what happens on June 26th, but even then it's bent to relate to this story and so that it's a tad bit original. Thanks. This story is not for everyone, due to mentions of self harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, drug use, death, and [badly written] erotic content. Will Solace, son of Apollo [the sun god] often feels as if he is alone. He feels as though there is no one out there for him and everyone he knows secretly dislikes him. After one particularly rough day, Will decides that he can no longer take all of the hate and teasing that he goes through on a daily basis. Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades [god of the underworld] is a quiet boy that likes to keep to himself. After his sister passed away many years ago, his life has taken a dark turn, leaving Nico to only see the bad things in his life. Nico has very few friends, a half sister that he loves dearly, and a crush on one of his only friends. Wow, super sucky story description!! The fic is better than the description makes it sound by the way!

Stay with that boyfriend of yours, really. But it won't change the fact that sooner or later, you are going to be begging me to take you." Jayvee said smugly, his body holding me against the wall, the back of his hand touching my cheek lightly. The smell of his cologne was making my head fuzzy. I had to get away from him before I did something I would regret. I couldn't hurt Cato. "What's wrong? You seem a little shook," He paused to bring his head next to mine, he spoke right into my ear making me shiver. "Little mate." He bit my ear and all hope was thrown out the window.

It Starts Here / 𝗯𝘅𝗯 (✓) by wooyouknow

Felix smiles when Ares asks, "Do you like it?" Felix glances at him and Ares looks so excited to hear what he has to say, so happy, that Felix almost tells him right there and then. I like boys. Felix feels the words in his mouth. I like you. But writing about two girl dinosaurs falling in love and wanting to be friends with a boy who's gay are two different things, Felix guesses, so he chooses to leave it at, "I loved it. It's one of my favorites." And Ares smiles so brightly that Felix's heart starts to ache. *** Felix Vuong meets Ares Sanchez when they're both eight years old. At age thirty-one, they're still in it together. They love each other for twenty-three years.

Skulls and Sins (18+) by molrcore

its tough to juggle his work and personal life, but crowley finds a way to get by. Until a mission turns his quiet, chaos into a nightmare. Life and death. He sometimes wish he'd died then, but maybe it's all for a reason. -A story of love and hatred. Of acceptance and forgiveness. Asexual and genderfluid representation alongside other lgbtq characters.- "Hey you deaf or something? I'm talking to you" A small smirk played on Crow's lips as she eyed him up and down, careful to make it as obvious as possible that his appearance wasn't jack shit. He was the typical muscle guy who spent days in the gym and didn't respect anyone but his pack. She knew his type. Didn't respect and just took what he wanted. Crow spoke slow, disinterested. "You think you're hot shit because of your muscles but let me tell you this. Nothing hot about a wolf sized apple straining to take a shit". The "pack" on the other side of the bar howled in surprise and laughter and the buff wolf seemed embarrassed before that look turned to anger as he grabbed her by the collar and threw her into a wall at the end of the bar. She stumbled to the ground, wiping blood off her lips, grinning as she was lifted up, dangling by his canine teeth. "That's more like it" She murmured. The adrenaline, the fight, it felt like living again. He hesitated for a moment, a look of confusion and disgust flashed past his blue eyes then she felt his grip loosen as he fell back on the floor. A knife was close to his neck as a shadow appeared from the side. Ah the fun police has arrived, Crowley thought to herself and sighed.

Journeys by ALorenaE

But Loki isn't in a good emotional state and needs someone to be very patient with him as he navigates grief, loss, and some traumatic experiences he's not entirely willing to name.

What he doesn't anticipate is just how much it will change both of their lives as they find love, seek out a place to call home, and discover a family.

Blood Scry by tiffday98

"I'll be gentle," he said quietly as he bent his head to my wrist. His lips pressed softly on my wrist and I jerked my hand away in response. He froze and wait until I was ready.

This story contains TRANS characters and is a LESBIAN love story. Men DNI. Respect every characters identity and pronouns. Do NOT add to any f*ta/g!p lists. You MAY add this to transgender lists ---- "What? No 'good luck' kiss?" Hunter pouted as I grabbed my bow. "This could be the last time we see each other!" "I know!" I called back while climbing into my chariot. "But you only get a kiss if you come back alive!" ---- "Welcome to Castle Dimitrescu, my name is-." "Isa?!" I cut them off, causing the demigod to look up in shock. "...I-I knew you were here, but I didn't expect you to be working here." "...[Y/N]," Isa tensed before glancing behind them, relaxing a second later. "I take it your Father sent you with the medicine? Come in, it's freezing out there anyway." I stepped inside before they shut the door, handing them the bag as I shivered. "You're telling me. At least it's very warm in here." "Mhm," Isa frowned and placed their hand on my lower back to guide me through the castle. "Come on, let's get you warmed up. [Y/N]... There's something you should know before you see Hunter - I know that's another reason you're here."

Wild Magic Three: The Shade of the Earth- a M/M fantasy shifter romance by herellwrites

*****COMPLETE-- Book three in the Wild Magic Series. Sequel to By the Light of the Moon and The Dark of the Sun, but can be read as a stand-alone. The Shade of the Earth is a M/M, May/December, gay-for-you romance with fated mates, knotting, and a bobcat shifter with a small stature and big spunk.***** Robert has been surrounded by men attracted and romantically involved with other men for most of his life. He accepts his friends, defends them, loves them... but has never really understood them and their attraction to other men. Now, a diminutive bobcat shifter, with all the spunk of his feline counterparts, nameless and without a family or home, has claimed him as his mate, refuses to leave his side, and somehow forces him to see sex and attraction in a whole new light. But just as things are beginning to fall into place for Robert and his Sami, will they have everything ripped away by a dark figure from Robert's past? ************************************************ "I'm confused, Sami. This is... a lot. I've never been attracted to a man. I like women- I don't like men! Please understand, all of this is a lot for me." "I'm not men," the shifter whispered, a single tear dripping across his temple and back into his curly, ragged hair. "I'm your Sami." The words had the breath in my lungs freezing painfully. I stared down into his simple, open face, and had a sudden, near-violent realization. Sami ran on pure, feral instinct. This didn't make him stupid, it didn't make him simple of mind. It made his desires and thought process easy and pure. He wanted me, I was denying him. He couldn't understand any other reason for me to do this other than his own inadequacies. He didn't understand the laws of attraction as humans saw them. He saw only that I was his mate. And I was denying him.
