Summary
“This fellow is wise enough to play the fool;
And to do that well craves a kind of wit:
He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
The quality of persons, and the time,
And, like the haggard, check at every feather
That comes before his eye. This is a practise
As full of labour as a wise man's art
For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.”- William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
Lucretia feeds their history to the Voidfish and scatters her friends down in the world. What she hadn't considered was Taako not forgetting at all.

Summary
Taako wasn't supposed to give a shit. He was the one who could push for the hard choice in their group, who could turn away from a world and let it crumble to dust behind them. He'd done it twenty one times now, doing it once more shouldn't be an issue.
This was all the beach year's fault. That damn ocean had worn away the sharp edges he'd had in place to protect himself from shit like this, and he hadn't been able to build them back up in time. He'd never admit it, but kids had always been a particular soft spot for him.
And Angus was a brat, but fuck, just this once Taako didn't want to leave it all to dust in his wake.

Summary
Kravitz had dealt with many liches and other undead abominations in his time, and at the core they were all the same. Even those that turned themselves with good intentions eventually succumbed to darkness. He'd been a reaper for a long, long time, and there had never been an exception to that, not with liches.
And yet he was still here, talking to this lich and finding himself wanting to make a deal. Wanting to make an exception.
There was something about Taako that was different, and he wanted to help.

Summary
Taako and Lup have devised a plan to get back at their shitty family for the way they had treated them as children, as well as put an end to the incoming letters now that the twins have gained a little bit of notoriety. They're going to go back home for Candlenights, and it's going to be the worst Candlenights anyone there has ever had.
Lup's bringing Barry, because nothing's better than showing up with a respectable looking dude only for said dude to start pulling out the formaldehyde pig brains. Taako needs something like that too.
So, why not ask the cute guy in his drama class who does bad accents when he gets nervous if he's free over break?

Summary
Taako was not one for kids, holy shit no. Lup and Barry were different from him though. They were responsible and in love and if anyone deserved to have a happily ever after with a family it was fucking them. So of course he supported their decision. They were his family, and now this kid was too.
---
There's a little half-elf kid on the train, in a fancy suit with a fancy hat and a fancy voice. Taako doesn't pay him much mind at first, he's not one for kids after all.
Fuck though, if something about him doesn't pull at heartstrings that Taako hadn't even realize were still there.

Non-magical modern AU - Marauders/Wolfstar
Sirius attends a charity rock gig organised by his best friend's girlfriend, and the tall, quiet bassist catches his eye...
Basically just a thing I wrote after listening to Belle & Sebastian's 'Dress up in you' a million times.
Quite sexy.

Summary
After the events of The College Tapes, Mark is ready to have a calm and relaxing week. The universe has different plans for him, however, and instead he embarks on several busy days of talking to friends both old and new, doing his small part to help reunite a friend group, and (most importantly) coming to the realization that he is more than a little in love with Oliver.

Summary
Mark Bryant is seventeen years old when he decides to give up on his dreams.
When he looks back on it later, he always thinks about that day with just the faintest touch of humor; after all, he would never have gotten to where he is now without changing the paths he’d thought he was meant to walk. His life would have been unrecognizable to how it is now; he can’t even begin to fathom to what extent he would have been a completely different person.
In another life, Mark Bryant is a photographer. In another life, Mark Bryant is an artist.
In another life, Mark Bryant stands up to the people meant to support him most, and tells his parents that they don’t get a say in his happiness. He tells them that he will be happy, and they get no say.
This is not that story.

"Alright... Daniel. Why are we having a movie night?" Minkowski never seemed the type to be into movie nights, and Hera probably doesn't get the point. He's beginning to get the feeling this will be the first movie night Eiffel 2.0 is going to remember, and he doesn't know if that's a good thing.
"Because," Daniel says, passing him a DVD so he has to get up again, "I really want to watch this, and my usual movie-buddy is dead. My backup movie-buddy is also dead. Any further questions?"

Not having to strap yourself against a surface at night anymore is nice, but that doesn’t explain why you share a bed without ever talking about it.
Plus, not knowing whether to kill the others or oneself, Jeopardy, wasting money effectively through talking, and living together with an alien.

Summary
Whenever he stumbles, or says something wrong, or catches Hera off-guard with a familiarity that they no longer share, she can quietly remind him “take as many do-overs as you need to, Doug,” and he can nod and they’ll both reset to their original places and start again. Chess pieces that don’t know how they can move, bishops in L-shapes and pawns on diagonals.
(Doug Eiffel comes back from the Wolf.)

He had crushes, sure. Flirted with one too many bartenders. Couldn’t go more than eight minutes in a conversation with someone without making a bad pun about his sexuality. He wasn’t immune to Cupid’s bullshit, but it never progressed to the point of love.

Summary
you reach for the drawer on your left instead, brushing aside a handful of broken pens, three crumpled receipts, and fish-gutting knife, before finally settling on a recently-swiped clay garrote, which you hold delicately in your hands, marveling at the sharpness of the wire, and how much more interesting it would look strung around some poor bastard’s un-anticipating throat, cutting deep through layers of red until there’s nothing left but a quiet, strangled gurgling in the air.
but there is no thief or killer strolling through your door, only kepler, who is both a thief and killer and yet somehow so transcendent of those titles that he has become something else entirely, another breed, and you worship his every awful move he makes.
(or, kepler gets hurt, and jacobi lends a hand.)

Summary
“You want to have sex,” Geordi had repeated, slowly and hesitantly. Data had in fact just explained this to him in detail, but he still felt he could be getting it wrong, staring up at Data’s wide, polite eyes, his hands clasped behind his back. There was cat hair on his shirt.
“Yes,” Data had said, nodding.
“With me.”
“Yes.”
“More than once?”Or: friendship, scientific experimentation and honest intentions have a funny way of paving the road to love.
