Summary
Charlie moves in with Dennis and Mac while his apartment is rid of the major rat infestation.
But close quarters begin to dredge up old and unwanted spiders in Charlie’s head, and instead of turning to the warmth that Mac so readily offers, he finds solace in the one person in the gang who wants nothing to do with him: Dennis.

Summary
Maybe they would've been better apart.
But at the end of the day there's something about the stupidity of their codependent love for each other. Everytime the five of them are apart their life seems to get better. But they can't help the empty feeling in their guts.
They’d prefer to be fucked up.
At least then they're together.
They would rather be scrounging for scraps at the dumpster together than in a mansion with other people.
They'll say, time and time again, that they'd rather be in the mansion.
Or that they hate each other.
Or they'll try to get rid of each other.But at the end of the day they'll always prefer to be getting black out drunk together. Other people just… aren't necessary.

Summary
"You're a pretty boy, aren't you?" The large one croons, grabbing Dennis' jaw.
He nods. "I'ma pretty- good boy, yeah."Mac's chest tightens. It didn't seem right. Dennis there with his eyes closed, slurring his words. He can't leave his friend alone like this. Besides, after giving those two dudes an ocular pat down he's decided they can't be trusted.
"Woah, woah." Mac says, walking towards them.
Mac realizes he doesn't have the heart to leave Dennis blackout drunk with two strangers. He takes him home instead.

Summary
The two of you fall back into the normal rhythm of talking about nonsense until closing time.
You try to ignore the obnoxious whispering of Dennis and Mac at the bar, sipping your beer and wondering which you’ll drown in first: your drink or Charlie’s emerald gaze.
Or:
Charlie is being picked on by the guys, and you have an idea to teach him how to defend himself. It takes a turn.

Summary
You wish he’d stop staring— especially with those icy eyes. “Just— don’t be surprised if you get unwanted attention from the customers. A young, attractive girl like you, in a place like this, where people come to rid themselves of inhibitions?” He sucks his teeth. “Not a great combination.”
Or
You are the new dishwasher at Paddy’s Pub in Philly. The bartender, Dennis, seems to take a special interest in you.
As your innocent coworker relationship begins to twist into something less so, you find yourself falling deeper into Dennis’s sick, dark vision of love: control and obsession.

Summary
What if Dennis never stooped as low socially to where he became friends with his high school weed dealer and his disabled best friend? Meaning Paddy’s Pub never came to fruition so everybody is living their lives only influenced by their other friend (or sibling).
And what if seven years later a certain male barista is Charlie’s obsession and stalking target instead of The Waitress?
An alternate universe that tweaks the canon ever so slightly to bring out the freak in Charlie and Dennis way earlier than it did in canon and at much intense levels.

If you say no, the answer is obviously no.
But the thing is, you’re not going to say no. Because of the implication.

poorly written drabble of Dennis getting ready for Prime Time with the same kind of agonising repetition as that one scene in the Substance where Elisabeth gets ready for her date.

Summary
Biting the bullet and finally attempting an AU inspired by Preacher’s Daughter. I’ve never written anything this far out of canon so it could go wrong, but let’s see for now.
Set in the late 90s. No smartphones. Mac escapes his abusive family and runs away. He meets Dennis in a bar.
Things to remember:
Mac is 22; Season One (think specifically Gun Fever or Charlie Got Molested)
Dennis is 36; Season Eleven (think specifically Chardee Macdennis 2 or Charlie Catches A Leprechaun)
Luther has returned from prison and is now a pastor. He is abusive.
Dennis won’t appear for the first couple of chapters.
Silas is a boy Mac is sneaking around with. Original character but not very important it’s just for plot; he doesn’t return after Mac leaves -

Summary
Dennis wondered if it really could be that easy. He knew it was wrong, but now that he’d opened that doorway, he wanted to test the limits of what he could do. He wanted to know if every crow was as weak and easy to kill. Maybe he wanted to know if someone was watching, if someone would finally stop him.
Or, Dennis kills four crows, to force himself to cry.

Summary
Charlie's scent has taken a turn for the worse and Dennis wants to get rid of the smell by any means necessary. He decides those means are drugs he'll slip into his drink so he can finally give the man a proper goddamn shower. However, this plan doesn't go as smoothly as he hoped as he inadvertently opens up wounds Charlie keeps well hidden.

Summary
Faith, Dennis thinks, is a luxury he's never been afforded. His life is built on empirical evidence, on cold, hard facts, on the irrefutable proof that people leave, that love is transactional, that trust is a weakness to be exploited.
or college au where dennis is a fratboy with issues.

Summary
He's not even sure why he does it. There are these rules he's set in place, to keep life moving smoothly, little lines in the sand he must never cross, no matter how badly they taunt him. It's not some big explosion that causes him to dance all over those lines, not a fight, nor insult, nor death. He simply wakes up one morning and wonders why the fuck he should care about keeping this pathetic bunch of addicts happy.
They should worship him. Regardless of what he might do to them, they should fucking worship him.
// Dennis bangs every member of the gang. It goes about as well as you might expect.

Summary
"He was already putting himself in enough danger by living with a coked out stranger; adding "death by hate crime" to his Tragic Transgender Bingo card wasn't particularly high up on the to-do list."
Mac answers a personal ad on Craigslist to be Dennis' new roommate. They hate each other right away.
Dee finds herself falling for a woebegone princess- if only she could remember the girl's name.
(MACDENNIS STRANGERS TO ENEMIES TO LOVERS?? deetress rivals to lovers. there are so many layers to this AU i'm so sorry. alternating POV.) **RATING HAS CHANGED**
