Summary
I interrupted him. “I am hardly saving your life right now.”
“You are sitting beside me. In the dark. And you’re telling me a story. That does sound very life-saving to me.”
“I am not telling you a story.”
“Oh,” he shifted so that his head was almost resting on my shoulder, “but you will. You always have.”In which Kamet tells a story about Immakuk and Ennikar that leads to some interesting developments.
Set after Thick as Thieves and before/during the events of Return of the Thief. Spoilers for all books, probably.

dead stars (we are not unspectacular things) by Diefenbaker for Vkelleyart (VKelleyArt)

Summary
We stay like that for a moment, standing right in front of each other. I can smell butter and spices and the flowery scent of Bunce’s favourite detergent on him. I want to curl up in his warmth and never leave again.
Defeating the Humdrum should have been enough, right? And yet - somehow - nothing is all right. Not after the Chosen One fulfilled his prophecy, not after the disaster that should have been an American roadtrip. And now, on top of everything else, there's trouble at Watford.
This is a story about the moments in-between the big catastrophes, a story about figuring out how to stop the world and yourself from falling apart.None of us escaped unscathed: We’re all still there, I think, half-caught in the dim light filtering through the broken rafters of the White Chapel.
NOTE: This was written before Any Way the Wind Blows came out - so it's not canon-compliant :)

Summary
“You spent sixth year plotting.”
“And you spent sixth year being an annoying prick.”
“I spent sixth year looking for the White Hares.”
“Same difference.”The Leavers' Ball brings back lots of memories.
Told in a series of vignettes and inspired by a poem by e.e. cummings, this story is all about kisses and blood and that weird feeling you get in your stomach whenever you think about your terrible roommate. -

Summary
I was eleven years old, and I'd lost my mother, and my soul, and the Crucible gave me you.
He’s wearing crappy jeans and dirty T-shirt, like he’s crawled straight out of a dumpster. There's a strange determination in his eyes.
I’ve never seen anyone like him, not among mages. Maybe he’s one of the Mage’s charity cases; a changeling, or some other half-magic hoax, something that you’d leave out for the fairies to get rid of it.What is it like, meeting your roommate, your soulmate, for the very first time? Baz and Simon find out on their first day at Watford. (Loads of magic, Watford nostalgia, and anxiety included.)

Summary
It begins, as most things do when it comes to the Insidious Humdrum, with a scream.
I wake up with a jolt and am halfway to the door before my brain registers that Baz isn't in our room - and for a split second I think it might be him, screaming.
But then I remember that he's evil. (Besides, Pitches don't scream.) (They make people scream.)Simon is supposed to be looking for the Sixth White Hare, but the Humdrum has other plans.
(Baz is plotting - except when he isn't.)
