    Summary

    All her thoughts point to one simple solution.

    Well. Simple isn’t the right word. In fact, it could complicate things between them. But it would be an immediate solution to their current impasse until they can set up another system, something that George would be able to help them with.

    “I have an idea.” She blurts out before she can think too much about it.

    “I’m all ears, Luce.”

    “You have to promise not to laugh.”

    Lockwood’s face changes, eyeing her warily like he’s on guard. “Okay?”

    “You could sleep with me.”

    ......

    Lucy starts sleepwalking. Even in her sleep, Lockwood will follow her anywhere.

    Summary

    It's Matteo's first year of college, but he'd rather smoke weed in his dorm room all day than drag himself to class. He tries to sign up for what he thinks will be an easy arts elective and ends in a serious acting workshop. Here he sees the Boy he's been admiring from afar all over campus: David, who's directing the end-of-quarter production of Hamlet.

    David thinks Matteo's a slacker who's gonna ruin the production he's worked so hard on. Matteo thinks David's just another pretentious artist-wannabe who thinks he's better than him.

    And yet somehow, their faces keep ending up at such a kissable distance.

    (Or, a hate-to-love College AU in which there's not so much "hate" as misunderstanding, presumption, and a whole lot of sexual tension).

    Summary

    Matteo is struggling with his mental health, and although he goes to therapy and takes his meds daily, he still needs something to make his body less lethargic. At his therapist's suggestion he tries to find a physical activity, and he finds himself at the entrance to a communal swimming pool, not sure what to do.

    David has always loved swimming, but he hasn't gone into the water since long before he started to transition. Still, he takes a part time job as a life guard at a swimming facility not far from his and Laura's flat, needing the income to pay the rent. When a boy he's never seen before comes by his work, looking as out of place as David too often feels, he can't help but reach out.

    Contains: Struggles with mental health, description of dysphoria, and two gay dorks falling in love.
