I want to be optimistic, but I doubt they will give space to the "secondary" cast 😔
The Old Guard Reverse Big Bang - @theoldguardevents
Fic: Marble Madness - by @ignisentis. 14k. T+. Soulmates AU.
An idea that started with the myth of Pygmalion and then went on to become a sweet, funny and touching soulmates AU! Having Igni put words to my art was a privilege, I hope you enjoy what we came up with!
[ID: A digital illustration of a scene of an old art studio with wooden floors and bare brick walls with shelves in the background holding blurred statue shapes. Joe with long hair in a half-bun is standing to the right, wearing a loose open white linen shirt, brown suspenders and beige pants. He’s barefoot, resting his weight on one foot as he reaches out with a hand to lightly caress the cheek of a white marble statue that looks like Nicky. The statue is sitting on a pedestal with one knee raised and the other bend underneath him, resting its weight on a shield, naked except for a sheet covering its groin and half of one tight. End ID.]

“Sometimes you can get what you need” by @sharkie335
Nicky is an Omega whose parents have kept isolated since he presented at sixteen in order to preserve his purity. They decide to hold a Masquerade ball for his “coming out” and to see what offers they get for his hand.
His father decided that the best offer has come from the Merrick family, which horrifies Nicky. Not knowing what else to do, and having very little power in the situation, he stops eating.
Eventually his father comes around, with a little help, and the crisis is averted. Nicky is finally given some say in his own life and he chooses Joe, even though he’s only actually met him for a few minutes.
Will he be happy with his choice?
I was so lucky to get not one, but two amazing writers to write for my Masquerade prompt. Here’s @sharkie335′s take on it :D
Enjoy~ ♥

“Do you ever wonder what it would have been like to meet when we were that age?“
Nicolò shakes his head at him fondly and follows suit. "At that age, I was already in the monastery. It would have been impossible for us to meet like that.”
“Don’t ruin my fantasy with your common sense!”
“Do tell me, then, love. How would we have met?”

.
The small leather pouch has been burning a hole in Yusuf’s pocket ever since the morning. The man who had handed it to him then, the hood of his heavy brown cloak drawn deep into his bearded, furrowed face, had disappeared again as soon as he had counted the coins Yusuf had given him in exchange for the stones.
Every time Yusuf closes his eyes, he can still see them lying in his palm.
The man had watched him closely with dark, narrow eyes as he had untied the strap and let the circular piece of leather fall open, shielding the transaction from prying gazes by blocking people’s view with his broad shoulders and back.
The stones had felt warmer than Yusuf had expected them to feel when he had finally held them in his hand. He had touched them carefully, gently, turning them around with the tip of his index finger to inspect them from all sides, stray rays of the rising sun catching in the golden veins running through the dark, rich blue.
Lapis lazuli.
