    Summary

    The housing thing is a nightmare pretty much everywhere in California—but especially the bay. Since Stiles hasn’t managed to snag himself a rich partner to pay his bills yet, he’s used to roommates. Housemates. He actually hasn’t lived on his own…ever. He went from his dad’s house to college dorms to crowded apartments. He’s been living with Scott since they were 19, and now that they’re grown, they rent a house with two other guys they met online. There were many hours spent rifling through Craigslist before they found Derek and Isaac, but it was worth it.

    Derek, Isaac, Scott, and Stiles rent a house together. Over a year that sees them deal with Derek's troublesome (ex)girlfriend, Stiles' amusing reputation with local singles, and a friendly wager over which housemate is the best kisser, Derek and Stiles fall in love.

    Summary

    “Look, a couple weeks ago, my dad was—he was having a time, okay? He was lecturing me about my dating life and how he wants to have grandkids before he dies, and he got all emotional about my mom and—I’m not good at handling that, okay?”

    “So you what? Told him we got back together?”

    He shrugs, avoiding Derek’s gaze. “He loves you, okay? When we broke up, he was so pissed at me, and I just—I wanted to make him happy. Why not let him believe a little white lie for a while, right?”

    A year after their breakup, Stiles ropes Derek into pretending like they're back together. Derek confronts a treasure trove of feelings.

    Summary

    It doesn’t matter that his shoulders are tense, raised to his ears like substitute hackles. Never mind that his breathing is ragged and that he’s had to count to a hundred—twice. Ignore the officer that has inched closer to the counter, too, and Derek is the perfect picture of calm. Reasonable. Nice.

    Or: the five times Derek found himself unhappily stuck with Stiles, and the one time he didn’t.

    Summary

    He always tries to do little things to make Jisung’s life easier — help with the laundry when he’s over, give him rides around town. Minho is better at showing his love that way, through actions, little acts of service. He wants to make a gesture though. He wants Jisung to know Minho isn’t asking him to move in out of sheer practicality. He’s asking because he loves to be around him.

    So Minho has a plan.

    Summary

    Things are still new-ish. Six months, give or take. Technically, 193 days. He loses track of how many nights in a row he has Jisung sleep over, but he hasn’t lost track of that number so far — exactly how long Jisung has been his. If anyone discovered how ridiculously corny Minho’s thoughts are, he’d jump off the nearest bridge.

    Jisung just keeps surprising him.
