Summary: 

He’s about to open his door to go to the shared bathroom on this floor when he notices the scrap of paper that’s been pushed under his door. It’s a salmon-colored flashcard, the type that’s sold in 500-packs with multiple colors. Bakugou stoops to retrieve it, frowning at the message he finds written on it.

Hey neighbor, welcome to the house! I heard you knocking things around, yesterday, and I think you maybe punched a wall? Anyway, the landlady gets pissy if you put holes in the wall, but I have a punching bag! You can come over and use it, or I can move it into the hall, if you want!

There’s only one other bedroom on the fourth floor. Now, Bakugou crosses the hall to the bedroom on the right side, slamming the post-it note against the door.

Fuck off and die, it reads.

Bakugou Katsuki is not going to jeopardize his future a second time, and that means staying away from anyone who gets too close. Kirishima Eijirou has never learned how not to be close to someone. Of course, they end up as next-door neighbors.

Title: As A Star, Forever Out of Reach

Author: Neyasochi

Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender

Rating: NC-17

Pairing: Shiro/Keith

Warnings: explicit sex (gay), possession/forced control, violence, warfare, character injury/disability, loss of a limb, classism, discussion of starvation, blood drinking

Other notes: AU, fantasy AU, royalty, slow burn, combat and warfare, so many pets

Length: 75k

Summary: The intensely devoted friendship between Prince Takashi and Keith, a lowborn rogue from the arid southern wastelands, was unexpected to say the least. It’s the stuff of street-plays and penny-novels— a commoner plucked from the grimey alleys to serve as the prince’s right-hand and confidant— and for a time, Keith even dares to believe that it will last. But the disappearance and presumed death of Prince Takashi while on an expedition to the borderlands brings everything he’d hoped for to ruin, and while the kingdom mourns its prince, Keith mourns the loss of his closest friend. Bereft, he sets out on a journey to the lost places along Arus’ borders, strung along by a distant call he cannot place.

Fate is kind enough to bring them back together, but not without first exacting a terrible toll on the prince: he is delivered into Keith’s arms with shattered memories and a cursed metal arm, his confidence shaken and his throne usurped, and the ill-boding news of the long-dormant Galra Empire’s imminent invasion. Keith is resolved to stay by his prince’s side this time, no matter the cost— even as their search for answers leads them to the very heart of enemy territory.

Pairing: Shiro/Keith

Warnings: BDSM, consensual sex work, explicit sex (gay), outed to the media, angst

Other notes: AU, sex work, client/employee relationship, paparazzi, alternating PoV, romcom-ish

Length: 24k

Summary: Shiro is trapped in a life of expectations and responsibility. The black sheep of a prominent business empire, he struggles to come to terms with the tragedy that knocked his life off course. He starts looking for solace through unconventional means.

Keith is ready to offer his services for a price, and it doesn't hurt that Shiro looks so good on his knees.
