Summary
"It wasn't that Benny was exceptionally big, it was that Jimmy was pathetically small.
As all the boys were cheering around him, Jimmy felt his eyes prickle and his throat tighten. He took a little while to properly understand the emotion that was making him about to choke and that was the most debilitating bit of shame he had ever suffered in his young life."A Coming of Age story centered around Jimmy Kent's feelings of inadequacy with his own manhood, Thomas Barrow's going through life one desillusion after another and, eventually, some awkward romancing and healing...

Summary
Another Ontario summer is on the horizon. With Dicky Thomson selling off the dairy, Darry is soon to be out of a job. When a friend asks for help you help him, and more hands make less work, but Wayne’s not expecting all the change that comes with his best good buddy being on the farm full-time. Better all around to leave ruminating to the cows and marinating to the steaks—if only Wayne and his brain could agree on the things that aren’t worth thinking about.

Summary
Every year, a person is chosen—supposedly at random—to be sacrificed to the Kraken, to quell the sea's worst storms and to stop the taking of ships. After his engagement falls apart, Stede is not surprised when his father arranges for this year's sacrifice to be him. The surprise comes later: when the Kraken claims but does not devour him. Instead, it whisks him away to its secret sea cave, where Stede discovers that there is much more to the creature than he was led to believe—and that they have a deeper connection than he could have ever dreamed.

Summary
When Prince Stede Bonnet saw his betrothed for the first time, he very nearly blushed.
Edward Teach was a fearsome thing: pirate turned warlord, scourge of the continent. He wore black armor and bristled with weapons, including his famous sword, the Queen’s Revenge. The notorious beard which had earned him his nickname was gray now, but still full and menacing. They were almost of a height, but Stede felt dreadfully small in his presence.
Blackbeard had taken one look at Stede and grunted his approval. And Stede had almost blushed.

Summary
The man's face fell. "Do you not – have you no interest in the sport of cloud and rain?"
Baze did something he would later have cause to regret. He told the truth.
"No," he said. "Sex is fine, just not – I'm not interested in sleeping with people who've been paid for it."
"You are in luck, my friend!" said the man, pleased. "I am not paid a single credit to be your host. I'm a slave."
Baze is on security detail on a luxury Hutt transport when he meets the worst sex slave in the galaxy. Weirdly, not actually an AU.

Summary
Darry and Wayne had spent most of their entire lives being together. Good and bad things took their turns, but they stuck together no matter what. Like best friends should.
They had also spent most of their entire lives being oblivious to one glaringly obvious fact.Bookmarked by StrangerInThisStrangeLand

Bookmarker's Notes
Of course, everyone disagrees and goes too far on accident or says the wrong thing, but they get settled. Walls get painted, crops get planted, puppies grow up, machines rust, ashtrays get full, and time passes. It has to.
But it isn't all that bad.

Summary
He walked over to Boyd’s room, and knocked on the door. He waited for a couple of moments for Boyd to answer. When he didn’t, Ned knocked again. This was unusual. Boyd was an unusually polite criminal; he would never leave somebody standing outside for longer than 30 seconds. Ned was about to knock again when he heard a loud thump against the ground.

Summary
It’s incredible really, what you can make people believe with a fake FBI badge and a nice suit. And while Joseph Stern would rather not run the risky lie of pretending to be an FBI agent, he certainly has experience in hiding the truth.
Born on Earth after his parents were banished from Sylvain, a planet he knows nothing about, Stern has lived a life full of deception as every precaution was taken to ensure no one found out that he was a sylph.
However, as the crystal necklace keeping him alive starts to fade, he must find the sylph from Ned Chicane’s video hiding out somewhere in Kepler before time runs out for him.
And as long as he doesn’t get distracted by a certain kind chef with a similar secret or cryptid hunters desperate for a lead, everything should turn out just the way Stern plans.
