Summary
“But you better quit it with the smart-ass comments,” Michael says, “because then I will actually hit you.”But Luke can’t help it. Because Michael always makes himself the center of gravity. He was in Luke’s school and then Jack’s shop and then their house and then the band. He’s everywhere. He always has been. Luke can’t do anything to stop it. He’s like bacteria. Or the flu. Or cancer, most succinctly.
“Please don’t,” is the only thing Luke manages, eyes crawling over every inch of Michael’s grit jaw for penance.
Luke's in Catholic school and Michael's a mechanic. They've hated each other since they were kids. That doesn't go away once they start hooking up all the time.Or, an early-2000s AU featuring DIY garage bands, MySpace stalking, unsanitary stick-and-pokes, and a slightly concerning psychosexual fixation on each other.

Summary
“I should thank you,” George says, pulling him closer by the neck, “Because I get to have you?”“A lot of people aren’t that fucking lucky,” Dream says, voice tight, heartbeat beating thickly against George’s fingers. “And trust me—” he wrangles himself out of George’s grip, “—once I figure out how to stay away from you, you’re never going to hear from me again.”
George is a detective working for Scotland Yard investigating a string of art thefts linked to grisly murders. Dream is a gambler who knows more than he lets on. They can't stay away from each other, even when they should. -

Summary
“I don’t like anything that has to do with Bad's cronies chatting me up,” George says. “Stupid and cocky, the lot of you. You’d be surprised at how much it happens.”
Dream scoffs. “You wound me, sweetheart.”
“Can’t even get out of handcuffs by yourself,” George says. His eyes scroll down Dream’s face. “Though I suppose you like being in them?”
The only rule Dream's gang really has is to never interact with the rival group on the other side of town. He'd always figured it would be an easy rule to follow, until he keeps seeing the quiet rent-boy with the pretty eyes. -

Summary
“You’d like that, huh?” Dream says, voice low, letting George yank his head to the side, bite down on a spot behind his neck as he rounds his hand from his hair to his throat. “Want me to tell you it’s just you? Thought we were just—”
“Don’t,” George says, and plants another hand against Dream’s thigh. “Don’t you even fucking say it.”
George is the bassist of the punk band Manhunt, and everyone knows he's hooking up with the lead singer, Dream. The only question is whether Dream's going to make it out of the band alive.

Summary
“You never know, man,” Sapnap says, sitting back in his seat when Dream finally parks his car. “If we’re talking about dudes—”
“We were never talking about dudes,” Dream says.
“Yeah we fuckin’ were,” Sapnap says. “The girl’s dad. George, or whatever his name was. Didn’t you say you liked looking at him?”
Dream and George's kids get into fights a lot. This means, of course, that they have to see a lot of each other.

Summary
Dream had always been a devout believer in the idea of “true love.” The evidence did not support him.
**
Dream is a hopeless romantic, and George doesn't believe in love. (Or: the 500 days of summer au that nobody asked for.)
