Homestuck: Dirk, Dave, gen. Perfectly cathartic Strider angst. // "This apartment, these walls and corners, these floors and doorways, they’re Dirk’s refuge. His shell, his armor. / This apartment is Dave’s cage, and he spent thirteen years crammed up against the bars by a man who did not love him."
Yowamushi Pedal: Aoyagi x Teshima, kissing in coat closets. // "Teshima is gripping his hand so tightly that Aoyagi swears he can feel his own pulse beating beneath Teshima's fingers, trapped where Teshima's hand is so tightly wrapped around his wrist.

Yowamushi Pedal: Arakita x Toudou. // "Toudou comes home from a pro race, alight with excitement and riding high on the thrill of his victory from the road. Arakita can remember something not so unlike that feeling. But Arakita hasn't felt it in a while. He doesn't need it like Toudou does, and loathe though he is to admit it, he kind of likes how much Toudou thrives on the attention."
Steven Universe: Pearl x Rose Quartz, first meeting. "Pearl’s crystal is large and white and fits perfectly into the palm of Rose’s hand. It’s warm to the touch."
Yowamushi Pedal: Arakita x Kinjou, hotsprings and domesticity. // "The place is open-air, with the velvet-dark expanse of the night sky spread out above their heads. Arakita glances up at it for only a moment, pinpricks of light vivid against the soft blackness, and then slides to sit an arm's breadth away from Kinjou."

Homestuck: Rose ♥ Kanaya ♦ (?) Dave, where caffeine is like catnip for trolls, and cuddling ensues. // Dave says, bouncing his heel on your thigh for attention, “Are you drunk? Holy shit, are you— like, are you tripping out? Did Rose just roofie you with her pretentious fuckin’ leaf water? Oh my god.” // “Oh my god,” Rose repeats, and colors brilliantly across her cheeks, blood coursing bright and close under her skin."
Haikyuu: Hinata x Kageyama, wingfic. // "At first, Hinata doesn't mind. He doesn't even notice half the time, too busy running around and scraping his knees and bringing home stray cats to worry about something as silly as whatever is sprouting from the backs of his classmates. They look cool, sure, and it's a big deal whenever one of the kids in his class grows theirs in, but Hinata can't sit still long enough to worry about when his will come."

And is that… rain? You also think you hear Jade’s voice somewhere, wailing. She shrieks once, then stops, and Karkat does his voice trick again to make everything sound clearer. “Sorry, Jade just got a lamppost stuck through her, it’s fine now.” // Your heart stops for a second. “What?” // “I hear the sickening tone of protective ex-boyfriend in your voice, and don’t worry, I’m the god of blood and flesh too, remember?” You have a feeling he’s pointing at himself here. “It’s all right as rain. Which I’m experiencing a lot of right now. Anyway, point of my call: I need help.”
Hunter x Hunter: Hisoka x Gon, set during Heaven's Arena. // "He's in silhouette and it's too dark to read his face but his posture says he's ready to spring, even before he says, "Darling boy, the faces you make," in that voice like something slithering down Gon's spine."

But his grandfather was right. Everyone gets their share of tragedy or insanity or drama, but what they do with that horror is what makes all the difference."
Haikyuu: Hinata x Kageyama, lactation kink. "Somewhere along the line, Kageyama's hand has come to press flat against his chest, warm on his nipple and Hinata barely even notices until he's pressing down, like it's going to do anything.
