Summary
Gyrus groans and slams his head down on the table. “Why isn’t it working.”
Muffin meows plaintively in his face.
“Gah! Muffin! Careful.” She’s too close to the wires and there are dangerous chemicals everywhere.
Kodya grabs her and puts her in the curve between his shoulder and his neck, where she promptly curls up and goes to sleep. Gyrus sighs. He wishes he could sleep there.
Based on a beautiful piece of art by stars4bea!

Summary
“Gyrus, you’re limping.”
Gyrus looks up at the rides ahead of them and forces a smile. “It’s these new shoes my dad got me. They’re just a bit small.”
“Oh my god, you’re bleeding!” Nephthys’ voice rises an octave and Gyrus checks the backs of his ankles idly.
“Oh. Yeah. It’s fine. I’m told it’s a feature.”

Summary
After everybody respawns in the new universe, the power of cliches and tropes shine through the fabric of time. When every turn puts you in a new plotline, how long will it take you to realize you ended up in the cumulative world of cringe and rainbow vomit? Or is this world the world for you?

Summary
This is a simple school AU… or is it? It starts out being so, but Gyrus has a secret...
Gyrus is a senior in college and Kodya is a sophomore. Kodya’s first impression of Gyrus, the president of the robotics team, is that he’s a stuck-up asshole who underestimates him, but he soon realizes that he's not who he seems - in more ways than one.
Can Gyrus trust his new roommate Kodya with his secrets?

Summary
Vela says, “I heard Gyrus was going to… you know.”
And Kodya’s heart drops to the floor. Twists itself around his guts and yanks.
“Going to what?” Tori’s leaning forward curiously.
Vela looks around surreptitiously and whispers, “Propose to Alice.”
“What, now?” And that's Kodya’s voice, but he didn’t mean to speak.
Sylvia signs, No better time than graduation.
Nephthys is nodding, but she’s looking at him sympathetically, and he knows what she’s thinking. Plenty of people get married right after graduation. It’s not that weird.
But her face is pity.

Dearly Beloved (We're Gathered Here Today to Watch a Big Mistake) by Maust

Summary
Kodya can’t stop twitching. Scratching at his neck and his wrists and his ankles. Hates this monkey suit, hates the tie. Hates every inch of starched fabric against his skin. Hates the way it feels.
Hates where he is more.
Everyone’s whispering. “The Karevic twins.”
“I thought they weren’t coming.”
“Can’t believe they dared to show their faces.”
They shouldn’t have come. Shouldn’t have done this. It’s not safe.
He can feel the angels watching him. Judging him. Hating him.

Summary
The train station is cold, but Nephthys and Kodya are used to that. Kodya watches their breath fog the air and grins. Says mockingly, imitating their mum, “Still not as cold as Portland!”
Nephthys grins and parrots back, copying their mama’s favorite retort, “But still cold enough to freeze your ass off!”

Summary
Kodya needs to get his computer science project to compile by tomorrow or he’s going to lose his scholarship.
Gyrus is the TA for mechanical engineering, not computer science.
But it’s not like he’s going to tell him that.
Aka the “fuckbuddies who barely fuck” college AU.

The Kid and the Asshole (Don't Tell Me What To Do) by Maust

Summary
Kodya’s soulmate saves his life, then takes one look at Kodya and decides he doesn’t want him.
His soulmate is an asshole.
But Kodya’s going to pay Gyrus back for saving his life whether he likes it or not.
Gyrus Axelei doesn’t believe in soulmates, and even if he did, he’s pretty sure he can’t fall in love. Either way, between the shadows and the deadly simulation they live in, he has enough problems to deal with.
But the annoying kid he fished out of the lake won’t leave him alone.
Aka the “enemies to lovers, but soulmates” fic. Also known as the prank war turned training arc.

Summary
Gyrus squeezes him tighter. Kodya can feel him sobbing.
Finally, he pulls back, sniffles, and says, “I – um.” Then he shakes himself, opens and closes his mouth a few times, and finally just shoves the piece of paper at Kodya.
It’s from King Masiosare. And it says –
“You’re getting married?” Kodya can barely force out the words. Has lost complete control of his face and his voice. Has no idea what he’s doing or saying. He thinks he might be shaking.
Of all the problems Kodya thought he was going to have when he woke up today, this wasn’t one of them. He hears a horrifying whooshing sound in his ears. Can’t fathom the idea of a castle without Gyrus. Of life without Gyrus. What would even be the point?

Summary
The robotics lab is cursed. Everyone knows it. One new ensign only lasted three days before quitting Starfleet entirely. There are always strange explosions and fires.
Coincidentally, the robotics lab also urgently needs someone who specializes in both low-sentience life form cultures and engineering, and Kodya seems to be the only one who qualifies.
Inspired by some lovely drawings from stars4bea that burrowed down into my neural pathways.

Summary
Another take on the "glue them together" note I left myself and this follow-up prompt from Hylax:
Gyrus gets cursed and Kodya has to constantly touch him to apply a counterspell or something. Gyrus ends up staying up late researching and Kodya gets tired so Gyrus lets him sit in his lap and take a nap.
Except I made them both get cursed to be literally lovesick because it's funny

colder than your heart, but not as cold as the hole you dug us by Maust

Summary
The butterfly effect is a funny thing.
For example, there's a timeline where Gyrus asks him to come to the ice realm and Kodya stays behind, leaving them both heartbroken. Gyrus spends the year moping and when Masiosare tells him Kodya’s in danger, he throws himself into it headfirst, shadowing half the Room of Swords and forcing Kodya to kill him, kicking off a truly epic series of events that spans years.
But in this timeline, Maria has to pee.

Summary
Gyrus, though he didn’t intend to, woke up in Kodya’s bed.
Then he panicked.
Then he did it again.
Or: Kodya quickly realizes he doesn’t sleep that well without Gyrus either.

The green haired kid on the stupid spaceship won’t pay any attention to him and six year old Kodya really, really hates it.

Summary
No matter what Nephthys does, she cannot get Kodya and this cute physics major together. She made them bump into each other in the library. She got them paired up together on a group project. But whenever she asks Kody how it's going, he just says good, which means it's really going terribly and he just doesn't want to admit it.
Not to worry. She's got this.
