Summary
“Hey, can you see my phone anywhere?” he asked. Eddie started looking around the bed and then stretched himself to his side of the bed and pulled it from the nightstand.
“Here.” He tossed it to him, and Buck immediately started looking through recent pictures on his phone. Pictures of them partying, a video of Eddie taking a shot, and another video of Eddie dancing.
Then he came across the next picture and felt as if someone had thrown a bucket of ice water over his head. They must have asked someone else to take the picture because it was taken from at least a two-meter distance. The two of them were holding out a piece of paper towards the camera… and they were pressed together in a passionate kiss.
Buck looked up from the picture when Eddie made a strangled sound on the other side of the room.“You might want to see this…” He reached over with a piece of paper in his hand. Buck took it and turned his phone over to him in return. Eddie bit into his fist as he studied the picture. Buck looked down at the paper in his hand and turned it over to the right side. It was a copy of a marriage license for Mr. Evan Buckley-Diaz and Mr. Edmundo Buckley-Diaz.

A Season On Pause (A Sierra Falls-adjacent Hockey Romance) by koalathebear

Summary
This hopefully shortish story is not part of my Sierra Falls Horizons hockey romance series, but it is inter-related and it takes place in the same universe. It also of course exists in the same universe as my Do Not Fall In Love With A Rock Star series.
I've always wanted to set a love story during the Pandemic lockdown but while I played with a few ideas, they never really landed. Exploring lockdown through the eyes of an NHL player seemed interesting so here goes. I dislike the Tampa Bay Lightning intensely but I've used that team just for the purposes of scheduling given that they won the 2020 Stanley Cup during the COVID-19 global pandemic. So the fictional Armada based in the fictional Halcyon Bay, Florida follow the game schedule of the Lightning - but have nothing else in common with them.

Summary
In December 2021, Katherine Tolman, the former deputy of Hope County, was assigned as an inquisitor in Manhattan to address a hostage situation due to the Coalition's shortage of agents in the city. However, the simple task of eliminating young blankbodies has turned into a tragedy and has been forced into the Embrace by a controversial figure of the vampire societies. Now left isolated in this unholy condition, she must learn to face her vampiric nature and endure the scars from her past life. As she navigates the new political landscape of New York, a dark conspiracy related to her Embrace begins to brew behind the scenes. The local Kindred population attempts to solve a hidden ancient threat beneath their feet and in their meals.
(You don't have to be familiar with WoD/VTM to read it and vice versa. I wrote this with both fandoms in mind, so you can read it without needing to know the other. This contains a mix of V5 lore with V20 mechanics and other older materials for inspiration.)

Summary
For obvious reasons, I picked up a tiny Loki action figure from Thor a couple years before I started posting these; in January 2014, I came across a tiny Thor to keep him company. I immediately took a couple stupid pictures of them and then I just...kept doing that, with increasingly elaborate captions and situations, because I really enjoy my stupid pictures and other people have been enjoying them too. I picked up a couple more Lokis and some other MCU action figures too, and sometimes completely unrelated action figures join in (I add tags as they become relevant). The first 60ish chapters are reposts of existing pictures; now that I've got all of those up, I'm just updating when I actually post new photos. Suggestions/ideas are always welcome!

Summary
You and Ted Garcia orbit each other like two bodies caught in the same catastrophe.
He’s the mayor — measured, deliberate, a man who writes the rules and breaks them only for you. You’re the girl this town pretends not to see, the one they talk about behind closed doors, the one he keeps coming back to like it’s the only honest thing in his life.
It’s been many stolen nights and unspoken promises, of distance that never holds and touch that always lingers. You’ve watched him choose duty over you, and you’ve let him — but somehow, he’s always back at your door. Now the lockdown has stripped the world to its bones, and the heat between you has nowhere to go but closer, hotter, more dangerous.
And when his rival threatens not just his seat but the fragile, private world you’ve built, you realize you’re not just the mayor’s secret. You’re the one thing he refuses to lose.

Summary
As he races down the cliffs to the beach, he feels something soft and uneven underfoot. Link pulls his skimmer away to find a mouse lying on the path, dead. He stoops to take a closer look at it. Blood has spurt from its mouth, though he’s not sure if he’s the cause honestly. It strikes him that he may have killed the small rodent, but he doesn’t think much on that.
No, that’s not the odd part of it. Of course there are field mice and rats on the island, but the rodents are never this close to shore, and they certainly keep out of the open where men are known to frequent, the skittish things that they are. The likelihood, essentially, of him running across a live and healthy mouse is slim.
When he comes to the shore, the captain is sitting in his waka ama’s main hull, staring out into the ocean. Seeing him approach, Tetra quickly wipes her eyes and nose, her cheeks a dark, rosy color. Her strange purple eyes are swollen and puffy. The shattered expression on her face is so different from her usual confident, steely air.

Long nights, daydreams
Sugar and smoke rings, I've been a fool
But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you
— Troye Sivan"The silence in his apartment still makes his skin crawl.
Jungkook has lived in noise his whole adult life. The roar of fifty thousand people pressing into his ribcage like a second heartbeat, the feedback screech of a monitor going wrong mid-performance, the coordinated chaos of seven men sharing too little space for something so grand on stage. He has known noise, and he has known how to live inside it.
He doesn't know how to live inside whatever this is."
Then Jimin calls at 4 AM, complaining about burnt ramen of all things. And keeps calling. And there's strawberry soju on the counter, and a half-finished melody in the DAW, and none of it means anything, except that Jungkook sleeps better on the nights when it happens.

Summary
"Jake was right, he wasn't his Father, he wasn't unimportant to Jake but he also would not be beside him at his wedding. Javadi could joke about him treating Santos like his daughter, favoring her, teasing her, but in the end he knew Santos had a Father that she didn't like. Why add another to her plate? He'd been sure Dana was joking when she offered kinship adoption. If not droll then desperation, she was a Mother after all it would be unimaginable. Robby, however, had been a child who came to the realization that he had been abandoned before anyone spoke a word of it."
aka Robby misses Dana and Trinity as his sabbatical road trip comes to an end near the border of Quebec.
