Summary:

What Kuchiki Byakuya would really like is a private place to kiss Ichigo for as long as they want.

A year and a half later, an intimate night is witnessed by a certain Fukutaichou, and Byakuya blows his top. Ichigo doesn't know what to do.

Snippet:

"We shouldn't…here," Byakuya said, but he made no move to stop, hands around Ichigo's waist and lips moving tightly against his.

"Hmm," Ichigo agreed, swiping his tongue across Byakuya's lips until Byakuya's tongue met his. "But it's so fun."

Byakuya grunted, which might've been a retort, but it got lost as he moved his hands across Ichigo's back and sucked on his bottom lip.

"Hahhh, Byakuya," Ichigo groaned.

Trailing his kisses down Ichigo's neck, Byakuya continued for a few seconds more before pulling back. He was panting hard, and Ichigo liked it; liked that when they were alone together, Byakuya's face showed more expression. When he caressed Ichigo's cheek, his lips turned up in a wistful smile.

Ichigo blushed. He always did when Byakuya smiled at him.

Author’s Note:

It's August, the collection is up, and so begins a flurry of fics featuring genderqueer, intersex, and trans characters living their lives.

My first entry is Baggage Claim, a modern-AU Fraxus fic where Laxus has to testify at his father's trial, and meets an overworked Freed. Both need a friend and a reason to keep going.

First 2 chapters are up! Updates every few days, and lots more fics to come. :)

Chapter 1: Read Me Like a Book

The man beside Freed was doing a good job of hiding his tears.

It was a late flight, the passengers subdued, and so Freed had not asked the blonde man's name. After clenching the armrests through takeoff—Freed had almost asked if he were okay, except the man was glaring so hard—the man shoved his nose in a book and Freed pulled up some work on their tablet.

But they heard the sniff, however quiet it was.

The man looked off through the window into the dark.

After another minute of staring, Freed finally said, "Are you alright?"

The man turned, blinking. "What?"

Freed had a moment trying to think what to say.
