Summary
“You know…” Buck starts, leaning forward to place a tentative hand on Eddie’s shoulder. “This doesn’t change a thing between us, Eddie.”
“Why not?” Eddie blurts out before he’s able to stop himself. He wishes he was more flexible so he could shove his foot in his mouth and never talk again.
or
Eddie comes out, sort of, and everything stays the same until it doesn’t.

Summary
There must be something humorous in finding yourself sat in a church on Halloween, like the character at the start of a bad horror movie who dies before the main characters are ever revealed. Buck would find it hilarious. Eddie can’t find it in himself to laugh.
or
A hypothetical look at 8x05, in which Eddie goes to church, seeks absolution, and realizes that maybe Heaven isn’t a place, but a person.

Summary
He wonders if Jason died thinking Leo already had. If Jason had searched for him. He wonders which God he must pray to, who he must beg forgiveness from to bring him back. But if even the King of the Gods had turned his back, who would hear him? He wonders when he had become such a poet.

Summary
“I did,” Sejanus snaps. “I got your letter. I read and reread every apology, every promise.”
He closes the space between them quickly, causing Coriolanus to take a surprised step backward.
“I don’t need your closure, Coriolanus Snow. You made your choice back in District 12, this is me making mine“
OR
The one where Sejanus’s freedom is bought by his father and he is sent back to the capital.

“I wish I'd gotten to kiss you,” Felix whispers. He presses their foreheads together and Festus watches as his eyes dart down, then back up. Festus’s heart beats faster, something he didn’t even think was possible at this point.
“You still can,” he says back.
——
OR
Four times Festus doesn’t get what he wants, and the one time he does.

Summary
“You pathetic little worm,” Michael snarls, and Adam hopes he looks defiant, jaw tightly clenched as he stares back at the being who was the entire reason he was in this mess. “You presume to know me? Me? You don’t. You’re nothing."
And the archangel is smug, for all of a moment, before Adam leans forward—as much as he can—and tries to keep his voice from trembling as he spits out his retort.
"Yeah? Well, down here, so are you.”
Or—a human, an archangel, and the story of a thousand years in the Cage.
They only have each other, don't they? Might as well make the best of it.

Summary
“Not—not that you’d be my rebound! I mean, you’d be helping me take my mind off of this guy, but to be a rebound, I’d have to have dated him first, I think, and he doesn’t even know I like him, so. You wouldn’t be a rebound. At worst, we become badass partners-in-crime with a grudging respect for each other, at best, we’re soulmates for life and this is fate trying to help us find happiness. So. Um.” Lance swallows and looks up at the Blade of Marmora soldier through his lashes. “What say you?”
They look down at their hands for a moment, fingers twisting together in deep thought. Then they’re pulling their gloves off, revealing pale, half-bruised knuckles of the human variation, and their mask is dissolving, giving way to big blue-purple eyes and an achingly familiar jet-black cowlick. “Who,” says Keith Kogane, in that low-pitched rumble that makes Lance’s stomach roil in the good way—holy fuck—“is this guy you’re trying to get over?”

Summary
eddie was a freshman at boston university of the arts, majoring in dance with a concentration in ballet. he went to sleep early, woke up earlier & took nothing for granted.
he fucking hated his dorm neighbors, loud, obnoxious idiots who got drunk all the time. they didn't even know where the library on campus was. he didn't have any idea how the three of them, especially the one with curly hair, even GOT into that school.
“piano prodigy,” the tall one explained “got magic fingers”
eddie nearly punched him
& he didn't believe him, nobody on their floor believed richie tozier could have been a prodigy of anything, especially when he slept through midterms & mixed up the dates for finals. when eddie heard the gossip he was relieved, he was overjoyed. he thought they’d kick him out & he would finally get some goddamned peace and quiet on his floor - and more time to rehearse.
until, first day of class in january when his teacher walked in with an overzealous expression “class, we have a student who will be joining us this semester for an extra credit opportunity. please welcome your new rehearsal pianist, richie tozier.”
oh.
oh no.

Summary
So there was that reason that work wasn’t boring, too. There was Richie’s soppy campaign of making cow eyes at the back of Eddie’s head as he passed, gently pressing Betty for details about his personal life (“I don’t think he has one. He had this awful fiancé a few years ago, but we’re all glad that’s over”), and chasing the incomparable high of a quiet, muttered “Thanks, Rich” whenever Richie picks something up for him from the copier.
Richie is a wannabe stand-up comic daylighting as the receptionist at Eddie's office. Eddie is a tightly-wound corporate asshole. They are both disasters. Or: five times Richie watched Eddie and one that Eddie watched him back.
