Summary
Kim Seokjin loves acting. That's what they'll put in his obituary, probably, right after his family details, because that's the only thing that matters about him. That, and that he's gay, and that his temper snapped one time and ruined his entire career before it had a chance to be what he knows it could have become.
His last chance to prove himself comes in the form of a reality TV show, a Bachelor-style outing that will show he still has the softness to be a romantic lead. And it's embarrassing, and messy, and full of quirky guys and their weird habits and fame-seeking and secret agendas that he doesn't have the energy to deal with. But it's just a job, and Seokjin never turns down a chance when it's offered, and the biggest comfort of playing the starring role on Destined Hearts is that Seokjin knows his own heart will never be destined for anything but the screen.

Summary
"Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together."
Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?"
"Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak."
And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have.
***
After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?Series

Summary
“Shinobi die,” the Matchmaker tells her bluntly. “Life as a shinobi is hard, ugly and beyond all thankless. It will be much easier for you to bring honour to your family through a suitable marriage than as a kunoichi.”
“I know,” Sakura says, though she truthfully thinks that she has very little idea of what life as a shinobi is actually like. She raises her chin, meeting the older woman’s gaze. “I want to become a kunoichi.”
Sakura is raised by her sickly mother and her late father's clan. The clan wants her to become a lady and marry a noble, but her mother wants her to become a shinobi. In the end, Sakura will have to make a choice. But even as she makes her choice there is no guarantee that she will succeed.
This is the story of how Sakura becomes a shinobi.
AKA, the one where Kakashi has been a soldier since he was five years old and has no idea what to do with a little lady-in-training.

Summary
Something has been a little off with Eliot lately, and it's causing a rift between him and Parker and Hardison. Nate needs his team to function cohesively and harmoniously, so he decides to nip the problem in the bud by sending Eliot to therapy, for a con.
Really, it's only for a con.
(Takes place a couple weeks after TBJ, but it is not necessary to read TBJ if you are uncomfortable with PWP. This fic can function as a stand-alone.)

Ryan is thanking every deity he can think of for his competitive streak, because otherwise, he would've lost his fine motor skills the second Chad checked him out, muscle memory be damned.

"I Don't Dance" was my gay awakening 7 years too soon to realize it. Canon was a coward and didn't make them official so here's some decade-late wish fulfillment.

Summary
But that’s the whole reason he’s here, isn’t it? He’s not out here hunting Humans. He’s not even hunting deer, or bears, or anything else that featured in Bambi. He’s out here, freezing his nuts off every night, because he’s hunting Angels.
Sometimes Dean wishes that Angels were like how they’re described in the Bible. How people from time too old for him to care much about thought Angels were messengers and warriors of God, protectors of Humans. He knows that how they’re really described in the Bible is actually pretty terrifying, but at least they were told by God that they’re supposed to love Humans, right?
That’s a thousand times better than what Angels really turned out to be.

Summary
Ten minutes to go to ground zero and Artyom was still desperately trying to escape. “I have never attended little girl’s birthday party,” he pointed out repeatedly, and actually pouted, big blue eyes wide and pleading.
“Always a first time,” Napoleon said mercilessly, pulling on a charcoal Tom Ford blazer over his loose gray knit. “Mrs Siegfried invited us weeks ago, Artyom, don’t be a baby. You’ve had quite a while to gird your loins. We’re going to a party, not some sort of trench warfare. Smile.”
Artyom scowled, which was admittedly normally an adorable look even for a tall, blonde Russian giant of a man. “I do not like Mrs Siegfried,” Artyom declared, clearly intent on being as recalcitrant as possible.

Summary
In the first month of being co-opted into working with Illya Kuryakin full time at U.N.C.L.E., Napoleon stole Illya’s father’s watch four times, twice out of spite, once out of drunken curiosity, and once out of sheer boredom. After the fourth time, Gaby sprained one of Napoleon’s fingers and threatened to do worse if he did it again.
“You are not a spy,” she told him firmly, dangling the watch out of reach as Napoleon curled in a wincing, fetal position on his Le Corbusier couch in his upstate apartment. “You are a thief with the self-control of a child. Now give me back my ring.”
“What ring?” Napoleon asked innocently, even through the pain.
“How fond are you of your nose?” Gaby shot back blandly.

The Completely Inept Courtship of the One-Winged Angel's Cloud by Anonymous

Summary
Sephiroth finally manages to kill everyone during one of his many returns from the dead. He is a badass, nearly all powerful god of destruction and completely bored out of his oh so perfect, superior mind now that he’s gotten his way. He starts missing his fights with his only rival and the entertainment they provided but cannot pull the other away from a protective lifestream for long or return him to life. So he decides with nothing better to do and ridiculous amounts of power, he’ll just return them to a point in time when they both were alive and Sephiroth had easy access to manipulate his favorite puppet.
Cloud is not happy to find himself a trainee/infantryman again and the other Firsts and upper management cannot for the life of them figure out why the “Great Sephiroth” is stalking the blond and acting like a bratty, bullying seven year old with his first crush.

Part 1 of 2.
No one ever said an SI gets a place in canon events, or that they would be ideally placed at all. How much would you recall if you had decades to go before anything in a long forgotten story comes to be?
SI/OC as part of the Russian Mafiya, liberties taken with crafting said Mafiya Family.

Summary
It's 2011, men are allowed to marry, and Bucky is dead.
The future isn't all that's strange. Together in peacetime for the first time since before Steve took the serum, Steve and Bucky struggle to find their place -- and each other -- in the middle of a new millennium, new bodies, and new dynamics.
Or, just because you wake up in a century where everything you've repressed is magically okay, that doesn't make it easy.
