Summary
“I could devour you,” Samiel says gently, and Jay can feel the heat of his words sinking into his translator. “Won't you let me, pretty human? I'd make it ever so good for you.” His voice is intimate, filthy; that of a lover. Of a predator that has caught its prey.
Or:
Wing Commander Jason Lane is doing his best. He's got a political coup to stop; a peace treaty to negotiate; half a planet out to kill him and - oh yes, Samiel.
Always, Samiel.

I Ran Away From My Arranged Marriage… and the Boy I Escaped With Was My Fiancé by haruwiser

Summary
Office worker Bae Jiwon’s day ends the way most of them do — under fluorescent lights, buried in work that isn’t his, wondering why he ever agreed to be a “team player.”
Then the lights go out.
When he wakes up again, he’s no longer in his cramped office in Busan. Instead, he’s lying in a luxurious bed in a noble estate, surrounded by servants who call him Lord Hayden Ostero — a fragile, sickly aristocrat with white hair, a reputation for fainting, and a political marriage scheduled in three days.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, Jiwon isn’t interested in being anyone’s decorative noble heir.
And he’s definitely not interested in marrying a stranger from the powerful Morger family.
So while the household fusses over his health and prepares for the wedding, Jiwon decides to do what he does best: analyse the situation, play weak, and quietly dismantle the trap around him.
If they expect a fragile noble who might die from a stiff breeze, that’s exactly what they’ll get.
They just won’t notice him escaping until it’s far too late.

Summary
When Sashen fled his human space cult to live among the aliens, he had dreams about what a life in space would mean. A decade later, he hasn't even been off-station, instead dancing in a marn den where he's paid to eavesdrop on gossip and provide companionship to paying clients. But when he receives word that the cult that he fled from is looking to bring him back, he's willing to put his life on the line to escape them, even if it means going on galactic television in a win-or-die-trying contest on blood-soaked sands.
Of course, Sashen needs to catch a ride to the distant arena first and as fate would have it, the shy alien who's been watching him dance for the past week -- Araxis of Creche Thiel -- is headed that way and has space to spare. Sashen is happy to have a ride and a cute distraction on the way to what he expects may be his imminent demise. What he can't anticipate as he heads off to his galactic broadcast debut is the gravitational pull he feels to Araxis. With the deadly tournament looming, Sashen will need to figure a way to escape his past, while also charting a way to the future he desperately wants.
