Summary
He holds out his hand. “Jake.”
Bradshaw looks at him like he’s the dumbest man alive, his gaze sharpening with condescension. “You’re my engineer, I know who you are.”
“So sue me for being polite.”
His jaw works, but after an interminable second he steps forward and takes Jake’s hand. “Bradley.”
Jake hangs onto the handshake for an extra second and smirks. “Such an honor to meet you in person. The king of IndyCar, finally gracing us with his presence here in F1. Can’t believe it.”

Summary
"The Kazansky-Mitchell Shitshow Extravaganza," Carole had once called his early fumblings with Tom. Maverick thinks history might just be repeating itself as he sits at the Hard Deck watching whatever the fuck is going on between Bradley and Seresin these days, yet another member of the captive audience witnessing their disaster of a mating dance.
God, Maverick really hoped he and Ice were never this bad.
Or—
Unfortunately for everyone else trapped in Miramar during the summer of '86, Pete Mitchell and Tom Kazansky aren't any closer to figuring out what's between them now then they were when they first met five years ago."Mav," Goose hisses into his ear at the officers' club, "please tell me he isn't the guy from the Academy."
"Fine, I won't tell you that."

Summary
Goose has been dead for a week and a half when Iceman loses his first wingman in a dogfight with six Soviet MiGs over the Sea of Okhotsk.
Goose has been dead for thirty years when Iceman loses his second wingman to a surface-to-air missile on the tail-end of a mission he's responsible for: he's sent his family on a suicide mission to destroy a uranium enrichment facility in Russia's Far East.
This is the story of those thirty years in the middle.
(Or: Tom Kazansky rises through the ranks while trying to stay a good man. If he ever was one to begin with.)

Sokka should have drowned… and he would have drowned, if not for a certain Fire Nation raft fleeing the North Pole.

Summary
Under the leadership of Fire Lord Iroh, the Fire Nation has made every attempt to restore peace and make amends for the harm they inflicted during the Seventy-Year War. Their newest proposal is a literal proposal: a marriage to unite the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes.
The Fire Nation offers Prince Zuko’s hand.
The Water Tribes offer Princess Yue’s.
Sokka is apparently the only person in the world who has a problem with any of this.

Summary
“I don’t have a problem!” Sam insists. “Bucky is not a problem. Bucky is on a beautiful journey of self-care and healing and making amends with his body, and I support him 100%.”
“Mmhmm,” says Sarah, and when Sam can tear his gaze away from Bucky, he sees that she’s fixing him with a sweetly compassionate gaze. He readies himself for some no-nonsense sisterly wisdom. In tones of deep sympathy, she says, “And you’re horny about it.”
Sam grits his teeth and grips the arms of his lounge chair. “I’m so horny about it, oh my god.”
Bucky is finally ready to make amends with himself, and specifically his body, but he might need to enlist some help. If that help involves kind of, sort of tricking an overworked Sam into doing some self-care and having some fun of his own, so much the better. Sam, meanwhile, is happy to help, it's just that helping Bucky is turning out to have the inconvenient side effect of falling for him too.

Summary
“Bucky seemed pretty resigned to his fate.”
“What is his fate?” Sam asked. “Is he in prison?”
“No, he’s at the Douglas Psychiatric Hospital upstate.”
“They had him committed?”
“He proved himself to be a danger to the people,” Dr. Raynor gave him a sad smile. “When I tried to build a case, prove that he wasn’t… there wasn’t much evidence I could gather. He doesn’t have any friends. He had two pieces of furniture, neither of which were a bed, by the way.” She shook her head. “James portrayed himself as a man who slept on the floor, lived alone, and attacked John Walker with no provocation. Of course they had him committed.”

Summary
"The frantic pulse of fear doesn’t ease until Sam catches sight of Barnes for the first time since the end of the battle: he’s dirty and disheveled, and still, somehow, impossibly, the best thing Sam’s ever seen. The gallop of Sam’s heart slows, and the tightness in his lungs eases so suddenly that it’s like he’s gone buoyant, ready to float away without the help of any wings. Barnes turns as if he can sense Sam looking at him, and when he meets Sam’s eyes, he smiles, and it’s the brightest damn thing on this battlefield, a shock of sweetness in the midst of so much dark bitterness and confusion. Sam smiles back, giddy with joy and relief.
He thinks, thank God Bucky’s okay.
Then he thinks, wait, what the fuck?"
After realizing there are some unexpected side effects for those who've been brought back to life after the Snap, Sam and Bucky slowly but surely learn that if they want to be loved, they must submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known [via soul bond].

I'll explain everything to the geese by napricot

Summary
Bucky is so competent that it hurts my feelings is not a rational complaint to have about a person, and yet, after a year of being Captain America and partnering up with Bucky for the new and improved, post-Blip Avengers, that’s kinda how Sam’s feeling.
It’s not great. It maybe leads to Sam making some rash, ill-advised decisions like claiming he has a previously undisclosed superpower, and then getting caught in a web of lies when he ends up actually developing that surprisingly inconvenient superpower. Talking to birds had seemed like a harmless superpower, but it turns out that birds have a lot of opinions, and they don’t hesitate to tell Sam about them, especially when it comes to his supposedly subpar courting skills. Which is ridiculous, because Sam isn’t courting Bucky. Right?

Summary
That seems to be the thing that breaks the ice between them; Bucky's never really hung out with Sam before, past being jammed into a too-small car for six hours and then two uncomfortable months in a safehouse trying not to get on each other’s last nerve. Now they’re getting lunch or coffee every few days. Sam falls asleep on Bucky’s couch three more times. Bucky joins him and Steve a couple of times on their morning run.
He doesn’t notice, is the thing; doesn’t notice how ever since Sam slept on his couch that night he’s been letting Bucky closer bit by bit, that as Bucky’s been wondering about the boundaries and structures of friendship, Sam’s been drawing in.

Summary
Jisung flops back on the couch and audibly sighs, “I just can’t believe I’m never gonna get a good dicking down again."
Minho pouts with faux sympathy. “Oh poor Jisungie, whatever could I do to make it up to you?”
“You could fuck me.” Jisung blurts out.
They both freeze. Or maybe it’s only Minho who does. It’s a joke, of course. He recognizes that. “Um.”
Or, the age-old story:
It happens once.
...
And then it keeps happening.- Language:

Summary
“You come climbing down the fire escape to invade my privacy by knocking on my window to ask for a favour?” Minho asks incredulously. He immediately goes to push the window down to shut it, but the stupid thing always gets stuck when he opens it. This is why he rarely opens his window. God damn it.
The stranger makes perfect use of his delay, hopping in place with the franticness of his words. “Please! I can’t go through my own apartment, my roommates are fucking on the couch."----
5 times in which Jisung climbs down the fire escape, and 1 time Minho climbs up it.

Summary
"Molly Weasley doesn’t think of her sweaters as Christmas gifts, exactly. They started out that way, certainly, but over time they’ve managed to morph into something quite different. A rite of passage, maybe. A symbol of another year well lived, or at the very least survived, certainly. But gifts? Not so much. Gifts, in Molly’s mind, particularly those of the Christmas variety, are like conditional rewards for good behavior or a positive relationship over the past year. They are dependent, in a way, on the actions of the recipient. The sweaters are not dependent on anything, they just come. They come to everyone that Molly considers a member of the family, carrying all her love and care with them, and attempting to work a magic that is beyond even the likes of wizardkind. "
Or, every member of the Weasley family wears their sweaters differently.

Summary
'Do not start with me right now, Wood, I am in no mood to -' Percy's breath punched out of him as his back hit the wall behind him. He tried to suck another breath in, but then Oliver was just there, crowding against him, his toned body pressing hard against Percy's lithe form. Percy swallowed an embarrassing moan at the other boy's proximity. In all the times they'd hissed at each other in corridors or the library or empty classrooms, Oliver had never touched him like this before.
'Godric, you ...' Oliver's brogue had thickened in a way that had Percy's toes curling. But that had nothing on how it felt to have the muscular boy dip his head and run his nose up the column of Percy's throat. He repressed a shudder as Oliver's mouth reached his ear and he all but growled, 'You smell like sex, Weasley. How is that even possible?'

“So we’ll just blurt out random things?” Mina asked. “Like the fact that I can’t eat sandwiches not cut down the middle?”
Snickers rose from the class as she turned a bright red.
Aizawa sighed. “Not exactly. The quirk is a weird mix between a truth quirk and a prone to suggestion quirk, thanks to the boy's parents. It means you’ll be under the effects of a normal truth quirk, but you also won’t have the ability to keep yourselves from oversharing.”
“So we’ll all be spouting fucking word vomit like Deku?!”
“Yes, Bakugou. Fucking word vomit.”
—
Or
Class 1-A is hit by a very powerful truth quirk, and lots of things come out. Some things are quite harmless - quite the opposite, really - others are quite funny, and some open wounds that never really healed.
