Summary
Severus had always known that he would die in a painful, most horrifying way ever since back when he was almost beaten to death by his father, then mauled by a werewolf, then thrashed around by a maniac overlord. His miserable, luckless life only seemed to lead to that one day when he would be struck down by a bloody snake, of all things.
Bleeding out in front of Harry Potter was just the last humiliation Lady Destiny had in store for him.
Suddenly staring into Potter senior’s eyes again while being levicorpused was just the icing on the cake.- Language:

Summary
If Scott was asked to start from the beginning, his mind would place him right at the center of Beacon Hills, looking up at the black and white Hale house, clamped down on his mom's hand and trying not to feel fear.
If Stiles was asked to start from the beginning, he would talk about a boy named Scott who walked into his kindergarten classroom, stuck to him like a barnacle and became the most important thing Stiles would ever do with his life.

Summary
It takes him seven years, but Severus does eventually learn to stop being alone. All of them do.
--
Slytherin would suit you best, I think. You have great ambition. The people you meet there might help you achieve it. Nothing could stand in your way.
I want to be with my friend.
Loyalty is a Hufflepuff trait. If you went there, she would not be so far away as all that.
I want to be with my friend.
Well, you are a stubborn one. In that case, it had better be,
“Gryffindor!”

Summary
And oh.
Oh.
Oh he was kind of beautiful wasn’t he? Had Regulus always been?
To anyone else, he was all sharp edges and scathing remarks, but not to James. He could never be just that to James.
He could never just…be, to James.
And oh no.
That was new.
Or:
Gryffindor! Regulus gets the happy ending he should’ve gotten in the first place. And maybe they all learn a little about love and bravery along the way.

Summary
“Wait, you need a sitter?” Chimney says. Eddie nods. “Maddie’s brother got back in town a few nights ago, he’s looking for work.”
Eddie frowns. He doesn’t know much about this mysterious brother of Maddie’s – doesn’t even really know much about Maddie, either, aside from being Chimney’s girlfriend – but he’s pretty sure every time he’s been brought up in conversation it’s not been particularly inspiring. “Is this the brother who flunked out of college because he spent all his tuition on a motorcycle?”
Chimney colours a little. “Um. No?”
or, Buck babysits Christopher and Eddie is—fine about it, actually.

Summary
“Fiona’s probably gonna do ninety days.”
“Fuck,” Mickey replies. “Where?”
“Decatur Correctional. Where the hell is that?”
“Three hours out of the city.” Mickey sits with his back to the wall, legs dangling over the side of the bed. Lighting a cigarette would only earn him another lecture, so he slicks back his hair just for something to do with his hands.
“How’d you know that?” Ian asks, smelling chum in the water, the observant little fuck. “Not like your brothers are getting sent to lady prison all that often.”
Mickey thumbs at his lip, trying to find a way out of this conversation. It probably wouldn’t be too hard to distract Ian just by taking of his pants, but he is trying this new thing where he actually tells Ian what’s going on in his head.
“No.” He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. “It’s my mom.”

Summary
The only reason Stiles and Finstock even met was because the Sheriff needed someone to wear his kid out. Countless clubs and sports turned Stiles away, and the alcoholic gym owner with a foul mouth and crazy hair was the Sheriff’s last hope. What started as an awkward arrangement would become an incredible journey full of gymnastics, blue ribbons, and gold medals.
Family isn’t always blood, sometimes it’s finding someone at the right time. Sometimes family is a hyperactive kid who hangs around the gym and his coach who takes his coffee with whiskey.
Otherwise known as The Olympics AU.
