Summary: “You’re our home, Cobb,” he said.

Cobb pulled him in by the helmet for a ferocious kiss to the arcing cup of its jaw, a more tender one on the apex of the visor, his body crying out the stay he wasn’t so mean as to ask aloud. This was the way Din was, and Cobb loved him so. He’d be there when his wanderers returned. His last kiss lingered, forehead-to-forehead, Mandalorian-style. “Don’t you forget it.”

Din’s hand settled onto the back of his neck. “Don’t let me.”

Title: Love Like Oak, Like Rivers, Like Stone Fandom: The Magnificent Seven Rating: G - M Relationships: Goodnight Robicheaux/Billy Rocks Characters: Goodnight Robicheaux, Billy Rocks, Cornelius Crane (Original Child Character)

Summary: Stories along Goodnight and Billy’s journey together that share themes and imagery — healing, reciprocity, and trust — oak trees (and acorns), rivers, and stone.

There are some small inconsistencies, as I did not intend for the stories in this series to be in the same timeline and only later realized that they ought to be. (I will not be fixing them.)

-

Part One: Trust Ain’t a Dirty Word Since meeting Goodnight, Billy’s carefully-maintained walls have started to crumble one by one. It’s terrifying — and might be just the sort of thrill he’s been seeking.

Part Two: Tunnel of Love They lit their lanterns there, as deep underground as Billy had ever been. He felt full to bursting with excitement. Goody offered a smile for a smile. “Onward?” “Onward.”

Part Three: A Fistful of Acorns October 1880: With a new season comes change, and with new life comes someone new to share it with.

[Image Description: Goodnight reclines partly upon their bedrolls and partly in the grass. Beside him, Billy sits with the oak leaf tucked behind his ear. Goodnight’s sincerity is open towards the viewer, while Billy is turned coyly away. Billy’s body language is simultaneously closed off from Goodnight and inclined towards him. The warm golden tones of the piece evoke the laziness of a hot summer, a complement to the heady tension between the characters, about to boil over.]

⭒DinCobb Zine Fic Preview⭒

This is a snippet of my summer stargazing fic (with bonus yearning) for the DinCobb zine Paths Cross Again: Seasons. It’s my first time contributing to a zine!

“You’re our home, Cobb,” he said.

Cobb pulled him in by the helmet for a ferocious kiss to the arcing cup of its jaw, a more tender one on the apex of the visor, his body crying out the stay he wasn’t so mean as to ask aloud. This was the way Din was, and Cobb loved him so. He’d be there when his wanderers returned. His last kiss lingered, forehead-to-forehead, Mandalorian-style. “Don’t you forget it.”

Din’s hand settled onto the back of his neck. “Don’t let me.”

At nearly 100 pages, this zine is well-earned my pleasure full to the brim with beautiful art and stories, and merch aplenty besides. The preorder goal has already been met. The stretch goals are within reach. No need to think it through — this is the zine you’ve been searching for (for many parsecs).

Preorders are live today — go take a look at the project page or at @dincobbzine !

Title: Peace Until the Morning Fandom: The Hobbit Rating: G - T Relationships: Bilbo Baggins/Bofur Characters: Bilbo Baggins, Bofur, Thorin’s Company

Summary: In which Bilbo finds everything he needs within Bofur and within himself on quiet, simple nights.

A love letter to Middle-earth and semicolons.

-

Part One: A Light in Dark Places In which Bilbo suffers from nightmares, and he is not alone.

Part Two: Everyday Deeds of Ordinary Folk In which there are cultural differences, kissing lessons, and an absurd amount of happiness to keep the darkness at bay.

Part Three: What Day Will Bring In which Bilbo is granted more than he dared ask for, and gives something in return.

Part Four: Gently We Rise In which sorrow finally begins to lift, Bofur finally has his place to belong, and Bilbo finally finds out what Dwarves do differently.

Part Five: To Celebrate a Simple Life In which Bilbo looks behind, ahead, and by his side.
