Summary
"Y-You need calming?" Waterboy asks, confused, his brows knitting together slightly.
Prism flinches internally, realizing she opened herself up to that question. She tosses it around in her brain, trying to determine each outcome. She could not tell Waterboy, tell him to shut the hell up and walk back inside- though that was cruel, even for her. Or, she could tell him, and be strangely emotionally vulnerable. That icks her out, but there is something about Waterboy that disarmed her an alarming amount. An embarrassing amount. It’s annoying that she even feels compelled to tell him, but that's just how he made people feel. How he makes her feel. Safe- emotionally, at least. She didn’t understand why.
—------
Waterboy and Prism talk on Robert’s balcony during his housewarming party, leading to unexpected bonding and an invite to Prism’s apartment in an attempt to understand.

Summary
While jerking off and thinking of each other, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov switch bodies. With a week before they meet for their first game of their second professional season, they've got no choice but to live each others' lives until then. But will seeing each other in person reverse whatever switched them?
Ilya plans to enjoy the admiration, while Shane is about to learn what it's like to be respected, but not loved. They both also find they're enjoying their predicament more than they should - and they've switched more than just appearances. Tastes and language skills remain, as do echoes of other memories.
Shane's about to learn there's more to the dickish Russian than an attitude and talent, and Ilya's about to learn that being the golden boy isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Summary
The story of how Derek, a borderline feral werewolf pup, finds himself having an unlikely affinity for a younger boy named Stiles—despite the fact that this kid might be the most annoying person in existence. As the years go by and hardship repeatedly strikes like a violent ocean against the shore, they realize that the only way to stay afloat in their chaotic world is by anchoring each other and learning to build despite the onslaught of chaos and destruction that Beacon Hills attracts.
[or: follow Derek and Stiles from childhood to adulthood, watch them be broken down just to rebuild stronger each time, and most importantly—bear witness to them becoming happy and proud of the people they are]
*Previously titled "Derek's Person." Now changed to be clear that this is a (Hale) pack-centric series—and while Sterek does take center focus in a lot of it, it is not solely a Sterek-centric series. The previous title reflected the first 6 short fics, as those were Sterek-centric, but the bulk of the series is about pack and what that means to each of the characters. Since the Hale pack symbol/tattoo is important, I thought this new title captured the focus of the series much better.*

Summary
“It’s just that, sir . . .” Jeffords cleared his throat, glancing over his shoulder.
Holt didn’t have to see where he was looking to know that it was towards Peralta — because, really, wasn’t it always?
As the sergeant continued, however, Holt truly wished that, just this once, it wasn’t.
“It’s just that,” Jeffords repeated, “Jake doesn’t usually work the — the child abuse cases.”

Summary
A lot can happen in a single year. Relationships can fall apart at the seams, along with the people in them. Friends can become lifelines, holding each other up in the sea of emotions that attempt to drown them.
In one year, the illness eating away at Stiles’ mother sent his father spiraling into alcoholism, as he tried to battle his inner darkness with a bottle in each hand. Stiles’ godfathers, Peter and Chris, spent most of their time trying to pull the whiskey from his fingers, but it didn’t change the fact that Stiles was essentially losing both of his parents.
In one year, Derek found company in two girls who irrevocably changed his life. One gave him distressing clarity that caused him to pull away from his anchor, and the other lit his world on fire until there was nothing but ash on his hands.
[or: derek learns how to have friends while battling his sensory issues, the hales realize stiles may not be entirely human, the dads (noah, peter, and chris) face relationship issues they've never had to deal with before, and there's a fire coming for hale manor]

Summary
The first time Ilya coughed up a flower, he was kneeling over a toilet in the penthouse of the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, for entirely the wrong fucking reason to be kneeling over a toilet in Vegas.
There was no point in trying to pretend it wasn’t happening. He wasn’t an idiot. Hadn’t he seen his own mother waste away, coughing up clumps of clean white chamomile stained shocking scarlet? Hadn’t he known, on some level, that he was fated to follow in her footsteps one day, to throw his entire heart and soul into loving a person who would never — could never — love him back?
No, Ilya knew what this was. He also knew he’d never set foot on the ice again if anyone found out.
Blindly, he reached for the toilet paper, wiped his mouth, and then flushed the whole thing. Petals, too. He didn’t want to know what kind they were. Pizdets. It should’ve been a fucking maple leaf.

Summary
“Entrapment” was something Penelope had saved Colin from, preventing him from blindingly marrying Marina Thompson and taking over the role of her twins’ father. The irony didn’t escape her. She had freed him from his terrible fate and now he felt trapped by her. What a sad pair they had become.
