Summary
A series to contain Sam's various original works set in the "Shivadhverse". The stories center around the royal family of Askazer-Shivadlakia, "The little country by the sea", one of the few democratic monarchies in the world with Europe's only Jewish royal family. The series follows the lives of the newly crowned King Gregory III, his fiance the American celebrity chef Eddie Rambler, his father King Emeritus Michaelis and his partner Jes Deimos, Jes's son Noah, Michaelis's nephew Gerald the Duke of Shivadlakia, Gregory's maternal cousin the lady Alanna Daskaz, and various other friends and family.
Fete For A King tells the story of how Gregory fell in love with Eddie while Gregory was supposed to be looking for a proper husband and Eddie was supposed to be catering his coronation.
Infinite Jes explains how podcast journalist Jes Deimos and their son Noah came into the life of the retired king Michaelis, who wasn't looking for romance but found it anyway.
The Lady And The Tiger finds the Lady Alanna Daskaz and His Grace Gerald, Duke of Shivadlakia, discovering new love while engaging in political intrigue (and occasional tiger-wrangling) abroad.- Words:

your love is sunlight by kaydeefalls for Mary_berry_boo

Summary
The worst part is that Nicky knows he's too old for this shit. A summer romance—that all-consuming passion crashing over you like a tidal wave and lasting about as long—is one thing for a teenager. But he's much closer to thirty than twenty at this point. He should damn well know better.
Yet here he is, flat on his back in the late morning sunlight, his shoulders splayed halfway off the side of the bed, sheets rumpled beneath him and Joe's beard rough against the skin of his inner thighs, and it's the closest to God that Nicky has ever felt.
(Modern!AU. Nicky's a bartender in Cinque Terre, Joe's a tourist just passing through, they fall in love. Because of course they do.)

Summary
"We worked as caravan guards before we came to Baghdad," Nicolò said, which was true enough, as far as it went. His hand rested easily on the pommel of his sword and he was smiling, a faint and casual enjoyment of his own assurance, and Yusuf loved him desperately.
"Just like old times," Yusuf agreed, and tossed his bag over to the handlers on the barge.
Nicolò looked over at him, his face suddenly, awfully, blank, and that was the end of that.
In the wake of the Frankish conquest of Tyre, Joe and Nicky leave their settled home in Baghdad in order to help a friend. Naturally, things escalate from there.

Summary
The resort stretches far down the coast in either direction. Little square cabins on raised foundations, all a merry brown with pine green roofs and shutters, screen doors and barbecues for warmer months, stone chimneys and stacked wood piles for cooler. On either side of the path, tall grasses sway, and there’s sand underfoot blown in from the beach. He has to be careful where he puts his boots, rounded stones here and there. In the distance, reaching into the ocean, huge rocky blocks of unforgiving granite, covered in lichen and dried seaweed and barnacles. The bare trees that dare grow close to the surf stand out like dark scratches against sheets of clouds overhead.
And so windy.
Nicky takes a vacation.

Summary
When Nile and Lykon pretend to date so they can finally sleep in one of the better beds in Andy's safehouses, it seems like a decent plan. It’s not a sustainable plan, or a well thought out plan, but it is a way for Nile to finally find one single solitary perk in the new life she’s been thrust into. However, soon enough, Nile realizes she hasn't considered how dating another immortal will affect the dynamics of a team she's only just joined, or how lying to that team will make her feel. Already struggling to adapt and unsure of her place in the group she’s found herself in, Nile is soon torn between pursuing what started out as a fake relationship but might have real potential and coming clean to the group.
Will her uncertainty about the work the team does and her relationship with Lykon damage her still fragile relationships to the group beyond repair? Is she even ready to be part of a new family? A canon divergence AU in which Lykon lives.

Summary
‘Am I still your hottest friend?’ Joe asks, taking Nicky’s hand and climbing back on the bed to sit astride Nicky’s thighs, his knees on either side of Nicky’s hips.
‘Oh Joe,’ Nicky murmurs, letting go of Joe’s hand in favour of cupping his face and tilting it to precisely the right angle to let him lick his way back into Joe’s mouth. ‘You were never my hottest friend.’
Joe needs some help testing out a new toy. Nicky volunteers. They're just friends though, honestly.

A podfic of 'with rome below us' by whimsicule.
Author's Summary:
And last but not least: Prof. al-Kaysani got married last week! And while he has explicitly asked for no fuss to be made, we have organised a small gift and a card that you are all welcome to sign. It will be on my desk until September 7th.
Best,
Dr. Quynh Pham

Nile’s eyes are stuck on the word ‘married’. Her mouth drops open, toast falling into her lap without her noticing.
Married.
“The fuck?”

Summary
Andy did this on purpose, she’s sure of it.
No matter how many excuses about skillsets and plans and 'you’ve been working on your Arabic, it’ll be good practice, Nile'… she knows now it was all a bunch of lies. There can be no other explanation for why she has been here, stuck with Joe in the middle of a hot, Italian summer while Andy has taken Nicky to the northern most part of France.
It is a unique and unexpected kind of hell.(A series of seven stories, snapshots of the first few years of Nile's time with the team. I'm trash for Nile & Nicky & Joe dynamics so there's a lot of that in here, but the others are all part of the craziness as well.)

Summary
It’s a small hunting cabin. It’s unlikely to have heat or electricity, and it looks uninhabited, but it’s shelter, and Clint is beyond relieved to have managed to make it within striking distance. Just a little longer … a little farther …
It takes him long enough that he would be ashamed under any other circumstances, but eventually he gets the lock open and swings the door wide.
“Fuck me.”
It’s a small one-room cabin, dark and dusty, and notable primarily for the fact that the fucking Winter Soldier is inside, straightening up from where he was hunched by the fireplace, drawing his knife.
