Summary
In retrospect, Lance knew he was overreacting. Thinking about it just a little too hard. He just didn't consider Keith would ever be- Nah, actually, he wasn't that surprised... Did that mean Keith had totally been checking him out? Did he think he was hot? Would dudes be into him? What was it like to mess around with dudes? Was Keith experienced with that sort of thing? He just needed to know. For... science?
(In which Keith mentions something that reveals he's gay, Lance is excessively shocked, and everyone else already knew because it wasn't even a secret. In short, Lance is an oblivious idiot and finally accepts his bisexuality.)Bookmarked by Vortexel

Summary
"I find myself wondering, sweet reader, when exactly someone will take a shovel to the back of this racist statue's metal head and begin dismantling our university’s scandalous love affair with the most problematic donors they could possibly find. I’m looking at you, President Zarkon, kindly remove your hand from the Republican Party’s dick. This is a liberal arts college for God’s sake."
When Galra University's Tumblr page, meant for football game updates and pleads for attendees for club meetings, is plagued by a mysterious writer determined to eviscerate every toxic part of the college, Lance is intrigued. When he becomes a leading character in the anonymous letters, well, he gets a little more curious. Lance becomes determined to unveil the writer and find out a) what is his problem exactly and b) does he really think Lance's eyes are that blue?
A tale in which Lance is oblivious and pining for the hot nerd in the back of his Greek mythology class, Keith can wield a pen with deadly cruelty, and you, dear readers, suffer from the pains of dramatic irony.

Summary
Lance is a senior studying trombone at The New Altea Institute of Music, the country's leading music school. Though, if customers at the record store where he works ask what he plays, he always lies and says guitar.
He loves music--every genre--but with graduation approaching and options in the world of classical trombone minimal at best, Lance is doing his best to put on a happy face and ignore the future.
Then Shiro invites him out to see his younger brother's band play.
Lance didn't even know Shiro had a brother.

Summary
“It's embarrassing.”
Robby glanced over. Whitaker was still facing the window, his hands twisted in the hem of his sweatshirt.
“If it’s got you this worked up, it must be important. I won't judge.”
Whitaker sighed. “I…I started dating someone. A guy. I met him on a dating app, and we’ve been together about a month.”
Robby hummed in acknowledgement. He didn't speak yet, waiting for Whitaker to continue.
“The problem,” Whitaker muttered, “is that he’s…my first boyfriend. I'm 27 years old, and I've never kissed anyone before, let alone had sex. I've avoided the sex part this far—using work and being tired as excuses—but I'm seeing him this weekend and I can't…I know I can’t hold it off forever.”
Whitaker is a virgin. Robby has a hard time saying no to his favorite resident. When Whitaker asks for help with his problem, what else is there for Robby to do?

Summary
For two years, Dennis Whitaker's only friend was a handsome, tired man who loved his sandwiches with extra peppers. He never imagined that "Michael" was Dr. Robinavitch, ER attending, and that their carefully built bubble was about to explode in a way neither of them could've predicted.
Or the one where Dennis and Robby knew each other for two years before their first shift together.

Summary
Dennis became a doctor to help people—it was who he was. He expected exhaustion, difficult patients, and teasing from peers, but not the quiet pull toward his grieving senior, Dr. Robby. When a panic attack breaks Robby’s carefully kept distance, Dennis steps in without hesitation. But in the days that follow, what began as compassion starts to feel like something deeper—something Dennis never expected to find in the halls of The Pitt.

Summary
“I don’t know what I want to do.” Dennis admits. He looks over at Robby, staring at the side of his face. They’ve been closer than this before, but being in the car together feels strangely intimate. “What would you do?”
“If it was me… I’d at least go for that dinner. But I’m not you. You need to do what’s best for you, Dennis.”
There it is again, his name from Robby’s mouth. It makes his attention linger, still staring at Robby’s face. Dennis is once again overwhelmed with the urge to just bury his face in Robby’s neck and pretend the world doesn’t exist, but that’s not the grown up thing to do. He squeezes his eyes shut for a second, rubs his temples with his fingertips as Robby continues, “Carry your patients with you as much or as little as you like. Find your balance. But remember that you’re human.”
Dennis opens his eyes to the countryside fading away and the city bleeding in. He knows Robby is right. That’s what he needs: balance.
In his last year of med school, Dennis learns to let go of the guilt that plagues him.

Summary
The chill was creeping in now that the heat of the fight had worn off. Chuuya could still feel the pulse of it—but the ache was good. Grounding. Proof he was still here. Still breathing.
And Dazai was missing.
Typical.OR
Dazai always disappears after missions.
It’s nothing new—just another pain in the ass Chuuya’s learned to tolerate. But tonight, something feels different. The bruises haven’t healed right. The reports don’t match the damage. And that smile—too smooth, too empty—hasn’t reached his eyes in months.Chuuya tells himself it’s fine. That Dazai is fine. Because if he isn’t… then Chuuya’s already missed something he can’t afford to miss.
Because when someone lies like it’s second nature—when every “I’m fine” is just another punchline—you stop asking what’s real.
Until it’s too late...

Summary
Chuuya has it all: friends, a talent for sports, and the perfect reputation. The only thorn in his eyes? His neighbour Dazai, the awkward outcast he was forced to befriend since diaper times. While Chuuya rides the wave of high school popularity, Dazai admires him from the safety of the chess club, hiding his ugly face and unrequited crush behind books. When life takes Dazai away to a different city, Chuuya is glad to never see him again.
Everything changes when their paths cross again at college, and Dazai isn’t the awkward, ugly kid from chess club anymore.
This omega is sharp, untouchable, drop-dead gorgeous and-- absolutely unwilling to look the alpha in the eyes. Forced into sharing a dorm room, though, they can’t avoid each other forever.The only question is: will that be enough to fix the mistakes of the past, or will it take a murder to do it?

Summary
Bradley Uppercrust III has followed his life by a set of rules. He's been crafted to perfection to be worthy of being his father's son. Perfect at everything he does, and look good while he does it. After the truth of what happened at the X-game competitions came out, Bradley becomes a ghost, slinking to the shadows where he once shined brightly.
In contrast, Max only became more popular. His life was good, despite the rising popularity having been strange getting used to. He wished for a normal sophomore year free of incident, but when Roxanne texted him one day that she was accepted to his school’s study abroad program and wanted him and the others to come with her to France with her mysterious best friend, his luck for a normal sophomore year went down the drain.
Nothing could have possibly prepared Max for the realization that Roxanne's best friend was actually Bradley Uppercrust the Third himself, and they would be spending an entire semester together abroad almost 5,000 miles away from home. Things couldn't get any worse for Max, and Bradley was a royal pain in the ass to have as a roommate. Except as time passes, he realizes maybe Bradley wasn't the devil incarnate that he thought he was…

Summary
And then Lance glances down at Keith, who already looks fucking wrecked. He’s flushed and his head is leant against the floor. He’s gasping for breath and staring at Lance with wide, blown pupils and an open, shocked mouth.
“Lan-Lance. That was playing a bit unfair don’t you, don’t you think?” Keith stuttered out. And how hypocritical. Time for a bit of revenge.
So Lance leans in, really close to Keith’s ear, so his lips are grazing it, and he murmurs,
“I’ve been playing unfair? That’s a bit odd of you to say, after messing with me all day, strutting around in my fucking clothes, making out with me, grinding down on me and then cuddling up to me like nothing happened. Sitting in my room with my headphones.”
And Keith shivers, and then goes to kiss Lance. He’s probably trying to distract him, but that’s fine with Lance.Bookmarked by Vortexel

Summary
Keith reluctantly becomes the counselor for the Red Cabin at Camp Voltron, a summer camp in the middle of buttfuck nowhere that his older brother Shiro has worked at for years. Already unhappy with the current position that he is in, Keith prepares himself for a boring, sweaty, miserable summer; and his frustration only grows when he meets the counselor for the Blue Cabin- an insufferable asshole with a horrible sense of humor, a devilish smirk, an inexplicable animosity towards the Red Cabin, and a smile that literally looks like the sun.
Needless to say Keith is really, really unprepared for the next three months.

Summary
“Sorry, babe,” Keith says. He even smiles, no doubt proud of himself.
And Lance knows it’s his fault. He started it, after all, but at least the biting term of endearment made sense when he was the one doing it. Keith had been talking to him like they were some old married couple. The kind who’ve been married too long and don’t love each other anymore and gripe over meaningless shit, only managing to piss each other off even further.
That’s why Lance called him dear. Because it made sense in the situation. It was a calculated insult. A strategic jab.
Keith, on the other hand, is weaponizing the term of endearment without any rhyme or reason, simply to get back at Lance.
Or: Keith and Lance have gotten into the habit of using pet names as condescending insults. They're not really terms of endearment.
