Characters/Pairing: Lalli/Emil
Rating: E for Everyone
Length: 500 words
Summary: Emil's first instinct upon realizing they are both safe is to neaten Lalli's hair. Lalli thinks this is the least of his problems.

Title: Knotwork
Fandom: A Redtail's Dream
Characters/Pairing: Hannu, Joona, and Jonna; also Joona/Hannu/Jonna (sort of. In Hannu's mind.)
Rating: 18+ for bondage (sexual and nonsexual), sexual fantasies, Hannu getting off to the thought of being sandwiched by the twins, etc....
Length: 3.1k
Summary: Joona and Jonna decide that tying Hannu up and locking him away for a while would be a great way to make him cool down when he's being a jerk. Though Hannu keeps quiet about it, this affects him more than they expected.
Other: Precanon. Based off a panel in the comic (p 174). "If you try to leave, we'll tie you up and put you in the shed for a while. Again." What happened the first time? This is the "Director's Cut" version of Knotwork; AKA the original NSFW version that I was too shy to post publicly. The "Theatrical Cut", AKA the worksafe/13+ version, is on Ao3 here.

Title: Routines
Characters/Pairing: Emil + Lalli
Rating: E for Everyone
Length: 1.2K
Summary: They have their routines. They've become set in them. Sometimes, they make new ones.
Other: Idea for this came at beginning of ch7. That accounts for inconsistencies with later chapters.
Was a little stuck on how to label this pairing-wise, because it's about as intimate as most of my 0+ rated romance pairing fic, but it isn't really more intimate than their friendship in canon, I think... decided to go with something neutral, but if anyone feels that a different label would be more appropriate in this particular case, please let me know.

The wonderful Starfallz drew a lovely fanart based on this story. <3 Hooray!
Scout also drew some gorgeous fanart of this story! :D

Other: My half of a fic trade with Qichi! Prompt was exploring differences between landscapes. [Original post]
Title (and fic, partially) was inspired by a song by Great Lake Swimmers.

Title: Walk With Me In The Dark
Fandom: A Redtail's Dream
Characters: Hannu and Ville
Rating: E for Everyone
Length: 2.4K
Summary: It happened months ago, but Hannu hasn't quite shaken off the memory of the dream. Luckily, he has Ville with him.
Other: Set a few months after the end of the comic. If any of my readers are unfamiliar with the comic, you can read A Redtail's Dream here, it's really good.
✿: I had some difficulty writing Hannu here, so if anyone would like to discuss post-canon characterization for him, I'd be happy to talk with you. I'd also love to discuss the comic in general if anybody wants to, and you can do that here or on my contact post or at my personal journal (yuuago)
