Summary
It was all strange.
From beginning to end–It felt like a perfectly curated trap. A sick prank the entire universe had been playing on him.Unfortunately, he has yet to find any real proof of that being the case. Other people would believe that they're just paranoid and move on, not Marc. God forbid it's ever Marc.

Valentino is dating Marc, Marc isn't dating him.
Nor does he believe Valentino would ever pursue him with anything but the intent to kill, let alone pursue him romantically.- Language:

Summary
Mike pants incessantly, embarrassingly out of breath from the run here. He pulls Will by the wrist onto the balcony, seemingly unnoticed by the rest of their friends who are counting down the seconds until the new year. The December chill is biting, almost painful, but he doesn't care. He can't take any more of this.
"I've been doing a lot of thinking, and the thing is, I love you."
Will's eyes widen. "What?"
"I love you," Mike repeats, like it's obvious.
Will's facial expression runs through every emotion before settling on frustrated. "How do you expect me to respond to that?"
"How about, you love me too?" Mike responds, hopelessly.
Inspired by When Harry Met Sally.

Summary
As time passes without Boo Seungkwan and Hansol Vernon Chwe ever putting an end to what became a grey storm between them, formed of masked feelings, awful lies, and unsaid truths, Hansol finds an alternative but inconvenient way to talk to Seungkwan about what he actually feels about what happened between them. So, over the following months, knowing Seungkwan would never read any of it, Hansol wrote to Seungkwan's childhood email address around twenty-nine emails, speaking about everything he wanted but had never had a chance to say.
Except that, from the twenty-nine love letters, Seungkwan had answered only one of them.

Summary
There’s an art to counseling people who could obliterate you with a stray thought. It’s called “surviving despite being the weakest person in the room while somehow convincing these apex predators to talk about their feelings.”
Gojo claims you’re the best at it. You suspect that’s only because everyone else was sane enough to pick a different career.
In other words, you’re a clinical psychologist in charge of making sure these emotionally constipated sorcerers don’t spontaneously combust, either from repressed trauma or from trying to kill each other over the last cup of coffee.
At least, you have good health insurance. You certainly need it.

Summary
“I could do it.”
Mike thinks that if Will’s eyes went any wider they would’ve popped out of his skull.
“What?” His words come out sounding half choked.
“I could pretend to be your boyfriend,” Mike shrugs. His voice has a layer of casualness to it that almost shocks him, considering all of his confidence in this plan has been steadily removed by the look on Will’s face.
or
Mike offers up his services as a fake boyfriend in order to get Will a real date. He never expected things to spiral out of control the way they did.

Summary
[M/n] had allowed himself to believe that misfortune had finally loosened its grip after Batman delivered his cold rejection on that ill-fated night. Unfortunately, trouble had not departed; it had merely altered its approach, arriving now in the disarming form of the charming, airy, and infuriatingly frivolous Bruce Wayne.
“I think sausages should just be called hotdogs since they basically taste the same,” Bruce remarked casually from beside him, taking an enthusiastic bite of the hotdog in question as though he had not just uttered complete nonsense.
“Excuse me?” [M/n] turned slowly, his expression turning into open disbelief as he studied the billionaire’s face for signs of head trauma. Surely no man of reasonable intelligence would say such slander.
Bruce blinked at him with feigned innocence. “I said, I think sausages should—”
“I heard what you said, Mr. Wayne. I heard it perfectly clear,” [M/n] interrupted, his tone tightening despite his effort to remain composed. “What I am struggling to comprehend is the reasoning behind your statement. What are your basis for concluding that two distinctly prepared and seasoned foods deserve identical classification?”

Summary
The war ends before it ever truly begins.
Harry Potter defeats Voldemort at the close of the Triwizard Tournament, and the world is left with something dangerously unfamiliar: peace. No Dark Marks, no war, no destiny pressing in. Dumbledore lives long enough to see it, and dies later of old age.
Everything is fine.
Draco Malfoy hates it.
There is no purpose waiting for him, only a life already mapped out, suffocating in its certainty. He tells himself he should be grateful. He tells himself this is what his family wanted. But his mother is dead, and his father is in Azkaban. He has no north star.
And then there’s Potter—impossible, alive, entirely too compelling. And Granger—sharp, brilliant, and far too good at seeing through him.
Draco doesn’t like them. How could he?
They are simply more interesting than his usual company. That’s all. A distraction. Nothing more.
Because wanting them is not an option. It was never supposed to be. And yet, despite every better instinct, every quiet, gnawing shame...
Draco keeps coming back anyway.

Summary
Dearest Gentle Readers,
Spring is in session, bringing the most affluent families of the nation to the golden gates of the Capital. As ever, the Ton demands nothing less than perfection. This year, however, the Court’s eye (and that of every mama) has settled upon on a certain Lord Bakugou Katsuki, the Earl of Musutafu, and thus declared him the most eligible bachelor of the Season.
A distinction he would sooner reject entirely than entertain. Indeed, Lord Bakugou has made his aversion to society quite clear. One might even say he would prefer anything to selecting a suitable diamond for a spouse.
Unfortunately, fate is rarely so accommodating.
With news of a retired general’s return to society comes rumors of a certain strong-willed, emerald-eyed ward in his shadow. That Lord Bakugou should take any notice at all is surprising. That he should find himself entangled… is a matter of growing interest.
For what begins as rivalry soon invites scandal, and scandal, as we know, is ever eager to ruin. And in a Season defined by duty and relentless scrutiny, Lord Bakugou may yet discover that the greatest threat to his future is wanting what he was never meant to have.

Summary
The sudden death of a classmate draws together two unlikely co-habitants.
Once content to remain at the edges, Rina finds herself at the center of something darker than she had anticipated. Meanwhile, Draco, unmoored from the world he once moved through with ease, is beginning to lose his grip on it.
Hidden away in a remote cottage in the Highlands, they fall into a series of careful rituals, and before long, find themselves aligned in ways neither would have expected.
What forms between them grows harder to define, as each learns to read the other—and misread them just as often.
[If you’re on the fence, you can check a spoilery overview here before deciding.]

Summary
1996. The New York Times collapses under a mass labor union strike. Publishing stops. Will is forced to get his news from elsewhere.
When he stumbles upon a certain newspaper, Ye Olde Yorker, he's met with a bold faced discovery.
The paper includes your average sections; political, cultural, lifestyle. What makes it unique is its DnD inspired comic strip, centered around the Cleric and the Paladin. The comic strip that nearly-forgotten M. Wheeler writes for.
When Will seeks to find out more, one thing leads to another.
New job, new boyfriend, old estranged friends. Neither Will nor Mike know how to tackle this budding work relationship.
Using the medium he knows best, Mike writes, to communicate all the words he could never stomach out loud.
---
OR: After 5 years of estrangement, and 3 years of Gatsby-ing Will, now Mike’s caught his attention. And his boyfriend's. Yikes.

Summary
Ed stretched, his one flesh arm knocking gently against Al’s head. Al had never really noticed how much his big brother searched for little touches when he himself couldn’t feel. But now he could and he realized he’d forgotten how much he also liked little physical contacts.
"I’mma take a nap," said his brother. "Good night, Al."
Al smiled, and he had forgotten how the muscles felt tightening around his cheeks, but maybe, just maybe, with his brother at his side, he could remember.
"Night."
Or:
The Elric brothers stuck in Gotham! The Batfam is not doing well. The Elrics are not doing well. Maybe meeting each other will help?
Or or:
Al has finally regained his body! Except it’s not in good shape. And Ed still has both his automail limbs. And they’re not in amestris. They’re not even in their universe anymore.
Or or or:
FMA x DC crossover is so underrated… So I’m writing this fic!
