    Summary

    It is an old saying in Zaun— If they’re mean, they want a fight. If they’re clever about it, they want to fuck. If they do both, you’re in for a good night.

    His approach to attraction is a cultural habit, one Viktor has never given much thought to because it has always been true. No one in Zaun flirts openly. They play, they provoke, they get under the skin. And if a partner snaps back just as sharp—well. That’s interest.

    Piltovans as a whole don’t seem to understand this. They flirt in ways that are too clean, too direct, too painfully earnest. They go soft first, then ask permission to go softer.

    Jayce is a Piltie. He does not have the stomach for the game.


    At The Piltover Conservatory, the most prestigious and selective academy in the arts world, talent is everything.

    After a disastrous first meeting, Jayce writes Viktor off as caustic, unimpressed, and apparently allergic to basic conversation.

    In a twist of academic misfortune, they’re assigned to work together on a project that means months of high-stakes rehearsals and performances. Working together isn’t optional.

    But music is built on tension, and dissonance isn’t always meant to be resolved.

    Summary

    Everyone knows about the cliche love stories with the school nerd and jock.
    He’s a cheeky asshole who can’t seem to keep it in his pants. She’s the straight-A bookworm whose only goal is to pass chemistry.

    He takes off her glasses to reveal her “true beauty.” She falls in love with his supposed sensitive side.

    But, this one in particular doesn’t quite follow the same boring formula.
    He’s the star hockey player forced to take an art course. He’s the stubborn art major who just wants one stress-free year.

    And it’s gonna take a lot more than the glasses move and some smooth talking for either of them in this story to budge.

    Summary

    "Lance had watched Keith Kogane win a bar fight with a broken hand, rip open a keg with a knife, and complete a whole wretched ensemble of activities you definitely shouldn’t do with a beer in hand.

    And yet here he was, glittery Sharpie in hand, waiting to sign Lucy’s copy of Altea.

    Lance opened his mouth to say something arguably rude and not appropriate for their current audience. Until he remembered that he himself had either watched or participated in these activities and was now holding a four-year-old containing his DNA. So Lance didn’t have much of a leg to stand on either."

     

    When Lance runs into his ex-boyfriend at a children’s book signing, he not only finds out that Keith Kogane ages like fine wine, but he also apparently wrote his daughter’s favorite book. As Keith lingers in town, Lance frantically tries to keep his daughter from realizing that the writer is not only a person from Lance’s past, but a character in her bedtime stories as well.

    Summary

    Armand and Daniel are getting married. Louis feels more than fine about this fact. Sure, he has been secretly in love with Armand for years now, but Louis is not letting that get him down. So, why on earth is he agreeing to Lestat’s half-baked plan for the two of them to pretend to date each other in hopes of making Armand jealous? A momentary lapse in judgment, he supposes.

    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

    “Yeah I… I didn’t know I had a sister,” said Keith. “Until she died last month. And now I… now I’m, um, I-I’m like a single parent to my nieces."

    He took a huge breath to steady himself, waaay to worked up to be on live radio.

    “And I don’t know what the hell I’m doing.”

    -

    In which Keith is the guy who suddenly finds himself a single-parent to his two nieces, and Lance is the charming radio host who might be his only voice of reason in this mess

    Summary

    He bit the bullet. “I guess it’s… Ronan.”

    Blue said, “What’d he do now?”

    Adam laughed for real this time. “Nothing. I mean. Not yet.”

    Blue followed the movement of his hand and cocked her head, trying to read the spread of cards upside down. She spent a moment studying them. He held his breath, knowing what she would see there. Blue might not be psychic, but she’d grown up with this stuff—she probably knew the theory behind it better than he did. He felt strangely flayed open, knowing what she was looking at. He almost wished he’d picked them up before she could see, but it wouldn’t matter once he told her, anyway. 

    Blue said, “You two have been spending an awful lot of time together.”

    Summary

    “Mm-what,” he mumbles, muffled into his roughed shoulder pads, words smushed together.

    Keith sighs instead of answering. For half a second Lance tenses. But Keith only shifts again, not pushing Lance off but moving so Lance is pressed closer to him, and then the heat of his breath tickles the shell of Lance’s ear, and he tenses for a whole different reason.

    And then there is, inexplicably, the feeling of what must be Keith’s lips, pressed to the side of Lance’s skull, gentle and lingering, and Lance thinks clearly to himself: what the fresh actual and genuine fuck.

    “‘M sorry,” says Keith, so quiet it would be impossible to hear were his mouth not one single inch away from Lance’s ear. He kisses again, and he almost sags into the motion, into Lance. “I shouldn’t have been so dismissive of you earlier. I was stressed. I missed you, too.”

    Lance opens his mouth. He muffles a choking sound with all of his strength.

    “All good in the hood,” he finally manages, and then wants to strangle himself. “We’re — tight, Keithalicious.”
    ---
    OR: Somebody lied to Keith, and now he thinks he and Lance are...lovers, of some kind. They are not.

    Lance struggles to correct him.

    Summary

    “One last rule,” Hawks says. He looks at Dabi expectantly.

    “What?” Dabi grits out.

    “No falling in love with me.”

    Dabi looks at Hawks batting his lashes, sitting on the couch in his hideous Gucci sweater. Christ, Dabi can’t stop looking at it. It’s a point of public safety that Hawks has a stylist for when he actually needs to leave the house. That sweater could cause car crashes. “I guarantee that won’t be an issue.”

    Hawks needs to come out, Dabi needs to promote his debut album, and they make an awful mess of this fake relationship thing.

    “I understand that you think you’re doing the right thing,” Akira says. “But what makes someone happy isn’t necessarily what’s best for them. Sometimes a person getting what they want will only end up hurting them.”

    Maruki squeezes Akira’s shoulder. “Well,” he says, smiling. “Sometimes it’s okay to get what you want. Sometimes what you want is what you need, too.”

    "you don't think the phantom thieves are just?"

    "i think your support of the phantom thieves shows your incompetence, detective."

    kurusu's tilting his head in a curious manner, and the light glances off his black-rimmed glasses, nearly obscuring his eyes from view.

    but goro sees him, sees the hunger, sees the ravenous nature underneath; he sees it because he feels it too: the draw, the deal, and the start of the game.

    Summary

    A friendly game of compliments between Ren and Goro soon escalates into a friendly game of flirting, which then escalates into a maybe too friendly game of gay chicken. That's all fine and good, except Ren's playing with a major disadvantage: he's in love with his opponent.

    But it's fine. Everything's fine. Ren's not going to let something like wanting to die from his repressed feelings get in the way of their competition. After all, Goro would never forgive him if he didn't give their game everything he's got.

    Baz Pitch loves, in no particular order; David Bowie, punk music, the feel of old vinyl, the smell of coffee (but not the taste), classic books, magic, David Byrne, the fact that he was raised by his aunt Fiona, and maybe, sometimes, Simon Snow.

    Summary

    LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
    1971 - 1995

    This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!

    PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

    Summary

    Kurusu leans forward and says, “Look. You do deserve to feel this bad. I’m sorry, but you do. But you don’t deserve to be alone while you deal with it. So I’ll leave now if you want me to, but I’m coming back tomorrow. All right?” Goro wipes his face with his sleeve and glowers at him: Great Akira the Moralizer, who knows exactly what everyone else deserves. Perfect, beloved Akira.

    After Akira's interrogation, the Phantom Thieves try to change Akechi’s heart—but it takes more than that to get the bastard prince of Tokyo on your side.
