餓鬼 | The Hungry Ghost by thecowscamehome for little bomb (infiltraitorN7)
Fandoms: 恋与深空 | Love and Deepspace (Video Game)
27 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
You know hunger; you'd been forced to dig through trash for scraps plenty of times before that fateful night in the pharmacy, where you somehow managed to con Sylus Qin, assassin extraordinaire and pretentious bastard, into becoming your adoptive father.
This hunger, however, you never accounted for, nor the guilt which consumes you in turn.
Still, you do your best to satisfy your cravings, desperately aware that true satiation lies in the hands of another.
Or: You try to relieve your teenage crush on Sylus to middling success. Years and a bitter-sweet reunion later, he recalls that he has a score to settle.

You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs) by OrphicMeliora
Fandoms: 恋与深空 | Love and Deepspace (Video Game)
14 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
“Well,” he said, voice low, unreadable, almost teasing. “This is a surprise.”
You swallowed the knot in your throat and turned around, not because you wanted to face him—but because the weight of his presence demanded it.
“Not really,” you tried to sound breezy. Light. Detached. “I was just dropping something off—”
Click.
The sound of the lock sliding into place was too deliberate. Too calm.
Zayne shrugged off his lab coat. The stark white fabric fell in slow motion over the back of the chair, and then he rolled his shoulders—tight, tired, tense. You watched his fingers unbutton his cuffs, rolling up his sleeves slowly, with practiced ease.
Curtains drawn. Room dimming. Silence folding over itself.
“I sincerely hope,” he murmured as he walked toward you, past you, pulling each curtain shut until the room felt private, secretive—dangerous, “it’s not another envelope.”
OR
An arranged marriage built on silence unravels into a love loud enough to echo—where a repressed heart finally claims what was always his.

Teach Me, Caleb (Caleb x Female Reader) by aeyumicore
Fandoms: 恋与深空 | Love and Deepspace (Video Game)
24 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
"Can you just show me?"
Caleb's eyes narrow and he scoffs shakily, "Show you how? I'm not whipping my dick out just so you can practice for your boyfriend. Go get a damn banana."
There's an awkward silence as soon as those words leave his mouth. He pinches himself internally and braces himself for your inevitable disgust—no fucking way he'd just said that.
"Would you?"
"Would I what?"
He knows what you said. He heard it loud and clear—how could he not? But he needed to hear it again, to see your perfect lips moving as you formed the words.
"Would you…teach me?"
with you and caleb both living shiny new lives at your respective universities, it's rare for you to both be home during the breaks. luckily, this summer is different—including the fact that you're both seeing either people. but that doesn't mean you can't still go to him for everything and anything anymore, does it?
even when it comes to asking your gege to teach you a thing or two about how you can make your new boyfriend happy.

The Fallen Feathers of Moonlit Doves by sakusarah

20 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
4068 years prior to the Chronorift catastrophe, In the scorched city of Ishvana, a nameless servant girl lives for two things: the silence of her hidden garden and surviving the lash of a cruel mistress. She is a ghost in her own life, not meant seen nor heard. Until the miracles begin.
Caleb is a Champion of God, an angel bound by ancient laws: Thou shalt not reveal thyself. Thou shalt not fall in love. Thou shalt not defy fate. But as he watches the girl with the piercing eyes endure the unendurable, the Divine Realm feels worlds away, and the touch of a mortal feels like a lightning strike to his soul.

Summary
“Dragons are long lost to this world.” He comes closer, closer than you’d ever allow, but you can’t retreat, tethered by his hold on your wrist. “But we,” —his fingers cradle your wrist as if in supplication, and not the iron chain it actually is—
“We can be dragons.”

She won’t let her husband have a moment of peace in this life if she’s forced to live hers with him, for as long as they’re both alive. She will be his biggest fucking nightmare.
~~~~~~

He is getting married. Because what Emperor Riga says goes, and Emperor Riga says Nezha is to marry the last living Speerly to strengthen their bloodline.
In one fell swoop, his chance to choose his eventual wife, his love, is gone, replaced by a foul-mouthed, violent creature he can only describe as a nightmare sent to haunt him for every single thing he’d ever done wrong in his life.

Summary
The true Time-Turner was slammed savagely into Hermione's throat. It shattered against her neck, bits of glass and gold piercing into her skin. The last thing she saw before blackness consumed her was a plume of metallic dust and vitreous fragments, tiny prisms dancing behind her eyelids.
(In which Hermione accidentally ends up in 1950, pitted against an ascending Dark Lord in his prime, caught in the entanglement of pureblood politics, dark magic, and Tom Riddle's interest)

Summary
A slow-burn office romance where Zayne’s authority extends beyond the OR and into the small things he can control: the way she answers, the breath she gives, the way he makes her wait. Under-desk teasing becomes a conversation in pressure and silence; lap-sitting and voice-play become currency. They both want the same thing — but he teaches her patience, and she gives him something he hasn’t let himself feel in years. He keeps hearts steady in the OR — he can’t promise the same at his desk. Explicit, consensual, intimate.

Summary
You beg Sylus for a job as his housekeeper after he saves you from a violent run-in on the streets of the N109 Zone. What other choice did you have? It was supposed to be simple...clean up, stay quiet, don’t make a fuss. But nothing about Sylus is simple.
And his reasons for hiring you go far beyond dust and dishes..."I knew it was a mistake coming in here," he mutters, his voice taut, eyes unblinking. "Now I have to ask. How much?"
Your brows furrow, confusion flickering in your expression. "F-for...?"
"A taste," he says flatly. The word lands like a spark in dry brush—no hesitation, no shame, only a simmering edge of something dark and consuming.
You freeze in place. The air feels electric, like it's grown too thick to breathe."Do...you mean—"
"Yes." His voice was low, but certain, as if the question itself had been gnawing at him long before you asked it aloud. "To taste you."
Before you can even find your voice, Sylus reaches into the inner pocket of his coat and pulls out an envelope of cash, tossing it onto your nightstand with a quiet but deafening thud.

Summary
Teal blips across your spasming eyes. A vivid, long tail flicks along your arm, almost curiously, before curling behind you and disappearing.
Bubbles erupt from your jaw and shoot up, up, up.
Maybe, you think vaguely as the world blackens, quietens, you’ll find your missing fiancé lying at the seabed. The thought, surprisingly, isn’t as comforting as it is disturbing, but you suppose a reunion only in death would be better than none at all.
“Silly human. Don’t worry, I got you.”
(this grave will fit me better than your landlocked home.)

Summary
“You don’t get it.”
“Well, of course I don’t get it,” he says. “You’ve barely said anything about it.”
“Because it’s hard, all right?” Maybe you shouldn’t eat the rest of the mango. You might rip the poor thing to shreds, make a mess of yourself and his desk, all in the name of what? Showing your hand, too? “Don’t you see how hard it is to put your life on the line every day, without a second thought, and then choke up over… over…”
Sylus doesn’t give you the words. “Go on,” he says. “Say it.”
Your jaw tightens. He drew it out of you. The words on your tongue and the heat in your face. That’s what you’ll say later, if anyone asks. “Over sex, okay?”
---
Or: Night of Secrecy was supposed to happen. Supposed to. Except it didn’t. And there’s a reason why it didn’t.

This is your home, now. It always was. He’s dogged in his attempts to prove it to you, purring in your ear while he fucks you slow and deep that he’ll take as long as it needs to convince you of that simple fact. It’s indisputable: you’re his.
You’ll… come around to it eventually, Sweetie.
