Summary
“I think… our hearts are in the right place.”
Isn’t that why things have always been this way between them? Isn’t everything they have and haven’t done been out of love? Out of Guilt?
Jisung doesn’t seem to agree.
“Are they?” He challenges. “Because mine’s right here.” Jisung lays his hand across his heart. Then, with the slightest twitch of hesitation, places the same hand across Minho’s chest— Minho’s heart. “And here.”
Minho and Jisung have been in love with each other for as long as they can remember. The strained relationship between their families complicates things.

Summary
'“I see you’ve noticed Satan over there.”
“Huh?” Adora felt her cheeks flushing red as she tore her gaze away from the girl and turned to whoever had spoken. “Sorry, were you talking to me?”
The gorgeous girl strutted past them without a single glance, like she was totally oblivious to how much the world seemed to want her. The girl who had spoken to her followed the other girls down the hallway with her gaze. An intense wave of dislike seemed to emanate from her.
“Satan,” the girl repeated, nodding down the hallway once the other girls turned the corner, “Catrina Driluth, but everyone just calls her Catra. Head cheerleader. All the girls want to be her, all the guys want to fuck her, and she’s completely fucking evil from head to toe.”'
Or, Catra is the bitchy head cheerleader and Adora is the socially awkward new girl. What could go wrong?

Summary
"I'm sure some kid in Cincinnati is having a good time talking to himself about how Gabriel and Bunny would fare against each other, and I think that kid is the exact sort of person I'd want watching my movies," Ponyboy gives the reporter a smile, pushing his glasses up his nose as he speaks, "I don't care too much if it becomes official or not as long as me and Dallas get to be pals at the end of the day."
Fifty moments of Dallas and Ponyboy, stars of two different horror franchises and the slight horror romantic comedy of it all.

Summary
Grantaire lowers himself fully onto the floor, looking up at the screen. He mutes the channel and watches for the next hour, just to see. His heart rate slowly calms as he watches the cars zip across the screen. There's only one more shot of Enjolras, right before the end of the race. He has his helmet off (he got a haircut at some point) and he's gazing up at, presumably, another screen. He doesn't look like a righteous angel. He looks devastated. Grantaire's not as happy about it as he thought he'd be.
Or: in 1993, Grantaire and Enjolras both stand on the podium after their last race together. Nine years earlier, Grantaire picks up Enjolras from a German airport. What happens in between is anyone's guess.

Summary
Pete McVries has always been lonely. At 25, running his own record shop, he’s not exactly the epitome of charisma or confidence. His days are a quiet routine of cataloging vinyl, ringing up customers, and observing the small-town life that passes through his shop, all while grappling with the longing for intimacy he can’t fully acknowledge. Beneath his sarcastic, self-deprecating exterior lies a heart that craves connection, even as internalized fears and societal expectations keep him at a distance. In a world where desire is both forbidden and irresistible, Pete navigates the monotony of his days with only music and fleeting fantasies to sustain him- until something unexpected threatens to disrupt his carefully ordered solitude- charming, golden-boy Ray Garraty.
The title is inspired by Role Models ‘Something, Somehow, Someday’ , a trope i think suits my
version of Mcvries very well. -

Summary
Stede smiled and leaned against the edge of the train door. “I can’t tell you what’s going to happen in the future, Ed. My world has already changed so much, in just six weeks. Who’s to say it can’t keep changing? Maybe there’s trouble ahead. Or maybe this -” He looked back down at Ed, who was gazing up at him in open, unguarded wonder. “Maybe all of this will get easier for- for people like us. I don’t know. But I sure would like to find out together. Wouldn’t you?”

Camp El Mayarah
Summer, 1989The low hiss of static crackled from the tape deck and curled around Kara like the trilling hum of the cicadas outside the cabin windows. Her finger hovered over the record button and she held her breath.
Three, two, one…
Click. Warm electric synth filled her headphones, ethereal and indelible.
This was it.
It had to be perfect.No more stolen glances across the campfire, no more what if’s. Kara was finally going to tell Lena how she felt, consequences be damned.
It had been countless summers of quiet yearning. Countless letters exchanged, creases at the edges and rumpled from folding and unfolding, each one a thread pulling tighter around her heart. Countless sleepless nights spent staring at the ceiling trying to untangle the ache in her chest. She’d denied it. She’d fought it. She’d tried to name it something else.
But the truth was something she could feel deeper than anything she had ever known.
She was hopelessly, irrevocably, head over heels in love with her best friend.
