    Summary

    Saint has been in love with Shin for six ordinary, imperfect, beautiful months. He's learned to live with Shin's quiet spells, the sudden shifts in mood, and the nights spent apart in the guest room.

    Love, Saint tells himself, is patience.

    Then one morning, Shin forgets how Saint likes his toast. And that small slip is only the beginning.

    Unbeknownst to Shin himself, he's not alone in his mind. He is Tibet—calm, gentle, always at a distance. He is MJ—sharp, guarded, endlessly protective. He is Phali—reckless, magnetic, too bold to ever be sincere.

    None of them know the others exist. Not even Shin himself.

    Now Saint is caught in the middle of a love story with four different versions of the same soul, and he has to figure out how to hold onto the man he loves without losing the rest.

    Summary

    Robby didn’t know why he felt this way — why his chest felt hollow, why his own reflection looked like someone else’s. He wasn’t Hamlet, though some days it felt like he carried that same quiet tragedy, heavy and unspoken. He wasn’t Ponyboy Curtis either, not really, though the world still burned around him in ways he couldn’t control.

    No… he felt like Gatsby.

    Gatsby, standing on the edge of everything, reaching for something just out of grasp. Gatsby, longing not for Daisy — but for Tom. And maybe, if Gatsby had reached out a little sooner… held on a little longer… maybe the ending would have been different.

    But Tom had Daisy.

    And Gatsby had a bullet in his back.
    Robby swallowed hard against the thought, knowing it didn’t change anything. Because no matter how much he tried, no matter how long he reached, Jack was always just out of reach — like a green light across the bay, forever burning, forever distant.

    Summary

    Maxwell has never understood the benefit of codifying relationships with words and contracts when it was actions that mattered most. And Torse? Well, his design didn't prioritize feelings, least of all those required for a romantic relationship. What the two of them have together doesn't need naming and needn't be examined. In fact, it shouldn't be. If it were, Torse and Maxwell might be forced to confront feelings they swore they could never have.
    ~
    There were few other couples Maxwell could look to for a reason to bother with the institution. His grandmother passed away years before he was born. Samwell made it a point not to bring his wife to the Gotch Manor. Hatwell never married because — well, because he’s fucking Hatwell. Who would marry him? No one. Not even for the money, of which there was vanishingly little left. And Wealwell… was Wealwell. Devastatingly attractive but so bizarre and aloof that most romantic overtures bounced right off of him. Nothing stuck unless Wealwell was the one throwing it, and his aim was god awful.

    Summary

    He didn't win last week but that hadn't deterred Oscar. He was leading the World Drivers' Championship for fuck’s sake, he can ask out Charles Leclerc if he wants.

    So he did. Invited him to watch the Indy 500 at his place. But Ferrari cockblocked him.

    So he had a mission for this week. Sure, winning would extend his championship lead, whatever. His aim was the winner's room. He had put this off long enough, it was time now. He's waited enough, mostly due to his own hesitance but whatever.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger had gotten very good at making lists.
    There was the list of assignments due this week: two essays, three problem sets, and a research presentation she was still waiting on half the sources for. There was the list of bills due next week: rent, utilities, the minimum credit card payment she’d promised herself last month would be the last. There was the list of groceries she could afford, though that one was more a puzzle than a list: if she bought eggs, she couldn’t buy coffee. If she bought coffee, she couldn’t afford milk. And the café always needed milk.

    ------------------------

    Hermione is running a cafe with her boyfriend Ron, she's just trying to make ends meet while she gets her degree. But when the pressure of everything falling down around her starts to get to her head, it isn't Ron who helps her pick herself back up.

    Summary

    Steve Roger's POV as his friends-with-benefits arrangement with Natasha becomes something more, and then blows up in his face. Pre-Infinity War - Post-Endgame. Romanogers endgame.

    She shakes her head, “Seriously? Steve, I cannot think of a worse time, place, or person for a one-night stand.”
    That doesn’t answer his question, “Why?”
    “Have you met you? We’re stuck together 24/7 and you are not exactly Tony Stark when it comes to one night stands or casual sex.”
    Tony’s name hangs in the air between them. Steve tries his best to pretend it doesn’t bother him, “Yeah, well. Tony Stark fell in love, couldn’t I have a one night stand? It’s not like I haven’t done it before.”
    She raises an eyebrow, “Have you?”
    “Yeah,” he says, “Once or twice, so if you have suggestions…”
    He sees her trying to work out if he’s being literal. And truth is, while Steve’s pretty confident that nothing’s changed in regards to the mechanics of the thing, 1943 was a long time ago. She hesitates, “Promise things won’t be weird?”
    “They won’t be weird,” he says, “We’re friends, right? We can be friends who got naked that one time. Will you feel better?”

    Summary

    📱| age gap fwb goes terribly wrong

    What began as a casual, no-strings-attached arrangement slowly evolved into something far more personal and intimate—an entanglement that would soon spiral dangerously out of control. Jed Olsen, who you think is just an ordinary witty level-headed journalist at the Roseville Gazette that you met off of a dating app and let stay the night, is something far more and is determined to get close to you for underlying motives.

    Summary

    Maybe they werents quite lovers. Sex between them was a weekly —perhaps, not only weekly— occurrence at that point. A mere way to relief stress. To kill anxiety just for a night. But, somewhere between "mutually beneficial and stress reliefing" and "something actually happening between them", the line got blurry.

    So blurry, that Aventurine didn't feel worthy of the doctor's attention.

    Summary

    Season 7 Finale: JJ's wedding.

    This is what you get when you attend the wedding of a coworker you had a crush on and get drunk off of expensive italian wine. Another person here is also trying to drink the heartbreak away. When you bond over the same girl who's getting married today, maybe the cure isn't alcohol or cigarettes, but each other (in Rossi's guest bathroom)

    OR: Spencer and Reader bond over their crush on JJ and (try to) have sex in the guest bathroom. Alcohol and cigarettes are included, chaos ensues and, of course, Kevin Lynch hate.

    (This is *not* a Jeid fic, but it's mentioned that Spencer had feelings for JJ. And, you know what? So does the reader, because I love jj.)

    (Also some super minor jemily because I love them)

    Summary

    Alex just needed a place to stay for a little while while he settled in Zuzu City for a job offer. Sam and Sebastian’s place seemed perfect—or at least convenient, when Haley asked Sam, considering they were down a roommate (and rent for the upcoming month). Sam can’t say no. Sebastian definitely can. What Sam didn’t expect was how complicated it would get, quickly beginning to blur the lines between acquaintances, roommates, friends with benefits and something Sebastian is scared to label. And then there's their roommate Lexi...

    Introducing Alex to Zuzu's queer culture is either a positive or a negative, depending on who you ask. Old friends, new tensions, and chemistry that refuses to be ignored turn a simple favor into something far more messy.

    ‧₊˚♪ 𝄞₊˚⊹

    And then, Sebastian felt like a light bulb went off in his head.

    Without warning, he turned, hooked his fingers in the beltloops of the blonde's jeans and kissed him.

    Sam made a startled sound against his mouth, then laughed when Sebastian pulled back, brows furrowed in mock confusion. He glanced between Alex and Sebastian, confusion settling on his face.

    Summary

    Micky is too touchy for his own good and it ends you in what you think is trouble. Is is really? Maybe. But, somehow it'll end well, and with you still having your job... hopefully.

    - More than once, you’d have to dig out a turtleneck just to hide the evidence.

    You’d ask him to take it easy, to remember you had to work the next day, but he never relented. Next time he saw you, he’d just smirk and make some wisecrack about how it was a bit warm for that kind of outfit.

    “Yet? Who said anything about yet?” he’d grin. “We’re not gonna get caught. I’ll see to that. Same time tomorrow.”
