A screenshot of AO3 showing the fic "Frightening" by Dannye Chase/HolyCatsAndRabbits. Summary: The problem with the Scarecrow was, he was the hottest thing Edward had ever seen in his life. Even before the fear toxin took effect. The sequel to Generous, in which Ed's got one last step in his seduction. Only this time, Jon's got his eyes wide open. Ed's POV this time so you can see behind the scenes of all his plans. Jon missed so much lol

Strictly speaking, it's not a sex club. But the Haven is the only place vampires can be themselves, without the outside world getting a say.

The pitch for Forewarning: Queer Romance FOREWARNING Prince Cole doesn't know why he psychically sees people's doppelgangers acting out the future, but it does come in handy. Cole's other secret not so much—he's desperately in love with his childhood best friend, royal guardsman Lucas, not least because Luc staunchly supports Cole being an openly nonbinary royal. Unfortunately, Cole can't marry a guardsman, and sweet, introverted Luc would never want to be a royal spouse anyway. But when a head of state is murdered and Cole's life is threatened, Luc steps in as Cole's 24/7 bodyguard. Together they must find a legendary weapon of mass destruction that threatens their own lives—and millions more. (And really, it would be easier for Cole to concentrate if his gorgeous bodyguard wasn't wandering around their room half-naked, but whatever. It's fine.)

A two-panel cartoon of Fred from Scooby Doo unmasking a villain. In the first panel, the villain's face is covered by a white sheet, and a text box reads "haha funny oblivious mutual pining! how do they not realize their feelings are mutual?" In the second panel, Fred has pulled the sheet off the villain, revealing his frowning face. A text box reads "They both believe the other is too smart to wish for an impossible future." The original meme, with a different second text box, was from absolutesilly on Twitter.
