I write books! My urban fantasy series follows a police squad tasked with investigating cases related to the supernatural, while navigating prejudice and privilege. Secrets, mysteries, and magic abound. minerva-grey.com for more.
My (first) fic for this event is now up: archiveofourown.org/works/78307741
This one's for you, DrivingMeBonkas!
I still have a second slot so head on over if you're interested in supporting this cause and maybe getting a fic from me :)

Wei Ying catches hold of his arms and just holds him, head tilted backwards, staring up at the ceiling. He seems to need Lan Zhan in a way that makes something protective pace and howl inside him, makes him press in close, throat tight.

Wei Ying is staring at him.
“Perfection,” adds Lan Zhan, feeling desperate now, “has always been my cage. Never my joy, Wei Ying. You are that joy. Your beauty in such freedom, such untethered expression of the things you feel."

So weird how some fics get targeted by bots/AI spammers. I've got a fic in a tiny fandom with low reads/kudos that's just a magnet for this crap.

Wei Ying sits on his bed and drinks beer from a bottle. There’s something satisfying about gripping the cool, smooth glass, about the press of the rim to his lips. The occasional scrape of it against his teeth.
An amalgam of a kiss.

“Lan Zhan!” He hustles forward and throws his arm around the other man, expecting shock, something scandalized; something admonishing for him to covet.
And he does in fact receive a shocked look. Because this man is not Lan Zhan.

He wants Wei Ying to be overpowered by his presence, to be obsessed with him, even as he rebukes the other man for leaning in too close, for watching Lan Zhan’s steps rather than the room. Hot and cold; both seem to make Wei Ying flush.

Lan Zhan turns his head to the side, rolls with a swell of emotion. Want made manifest, liquid, sloshing in his veins. Something he can feel, the weight of it, wending its way through his body. Just as he feels his pulse while dancing. The throb of his heart.

So: “Show me,” he says.
Because he needs to understand. That’s it. No other reason. Simple – clean. Professional.
Not because his spine almost melts, when Lan Zhan summons him and he steps into his arms, lets himself be caught.

“There,” Wei Ying says, stepping back and nodding. “You look almost presentable. No – wait.” He steps forward again, and musses Lan Zhan’s carefully slicked back hair thoroughly. “Yes. Perfect.”

He expected Wei Ying to be demanding. He didn’t expect him to disrobe to his waist, ripping his pants open like he’s preparing to strip right here in the studio. He looks like some kind of pantheonic god, full of lust and vitality.

Wei Ying’s head is back, his shoulders rolled outwards. Hips high; back arched. A sliver of his weight resting against Lan Zhan – enough that Lan Zhan knows if he were to let go, Wei Ying would fall. Dependent; reliant.

And already, Lan Zhan is in charge. Taking the lead, just as he does on the dance floor. Wei Ying pulls the sleeves up on his shrug and steps across. But to his surprise, Lan Zhan doesn’t raise his hand in the call position.
Lan Zhan wants to follow, not lead.

Wei Ying hates him. The perfection of the man is a personal affront.
Wei Ying is making a name for himself, he’s even started to hear a nickname – Latin Laozu. He’s known for his extravagance, his sensuality, his flexibility. But no one will ever say of him that he’s perfect.

James Bond:
Bond steps out of the line for the till, leaving his quarry behind, and puts his hand on Q’s shoulder. Leaning down opposite, he whispers: “Play along,” in Q’s ear. Then ducks in to press a kiss to his neck. He smells of verbena and printer toner, sweet and sour.
