a faint tightening of the chest by orolin for rosesneverwither

Summary
What people don’t realise—largely because he’s devoted an impressive amount of effort to pretending it never happens—is that Cormac occasionally experiences… sensations. Strange little twinges. A faint tightening in his chest when he thinks he might have pushed a flirty quip a shade too far. A peculiar, prickling itch under his skin when someone expects something of him. A low, uncomfortable swoop in his stomach when he imagines letting someone down.
He dismisses them, of course. Probably just the strain from maintaining such magnificent muscle definition, or perhaps an unfortunate allergic reaction to his latest paramour’s perfume. Nothing serious.

Summary
Spike risks a glance at you, eyes flicking away when they meet yours.
“Not much of a man now, am I? But the way you look at me... bugger me if it doesn’t make me feel like I could be.” He forces a chuckle, brittle around the edges. “Maybe it’s just my own foolishness talking. Wouldn’t be the first time.” He stops, swallowing hard. “But if this is the end, I need you to know that… that every stupid poem I scratched out, back when my heart was still beatin’—they were shadows of what I feel now. For you.”
Spike's fingers reach out and touch, delicate across your cheekbone, down to cup your jaw. “You’ve gone and wrapped yourself ‘round me. Tighter than a noose, sweeter than blood, even. I can’t stop wantin’ more. Reckon I never will.”
* * * * * * * *
Returning to Sunnydale for the first time since Angel lost his soul, you're older, bitter and unprepared for the grief that awaits. You never expected to fall for Spike. Through the eyes of the Scoobies, it's obsession, danger, betrayal—but to you, it's the only thing left that still feels real.

Summary
What starts wrong, ends wrong—that much Elphaba knew.
And something had most definitely gone terribly wrong, Elphaba thinks, as the red fog clears up—revealing a young man with blonde curls, dark eyes, and those deep dimples.
"I feel funny, Elphie," a deeper, eerily familiar, voice shakily says, "Am I flying? Why are you shorter?"
Elphaba swallows, "Galinda..." she trails off, agitation in her tone.
.
Maybe Galinda was right.
Maybe she Elphaba wasn't as powerful as she thought she was.
(A transformation spell goes wrong, and Galinda is turned into an insufferably sassy, hot, and, of course—blonde man. Or, the magical genderswap!Galinda fic that absolutely no soul asked for.)
