    Summary

     “I’m sorry,” Eddie says, soft in the dark of the room, and something inside of Buck cracks. “That must have been—“

     “Stop.”

    Because Buck can’t take platitudes, can’t stand apologies. And he knows—he knows he’s a fucking hypocrite, alright? He knows Eddie had to go in and save that kid the same way Buck had to stay in that hand sanitizer factory, knows that asking Eddie to fight against that innate urge to protect would be the same as asking him to unmake himself—but he hasn’t gotten to the place where I’m sorry means anything.

    In his head, he’s kneeling on Christopher's carpet. Your dad isn't coming home tonight.

    Summary

    “Merlin?” He said, and Merlin realized then that he'd forgotten his voice. 

    “Arthur,” he said again, because couldn't think of anything else to say. His head echoed finally and safe and so long, so long, so fucking long-

    Merlin reached out, just to make sure this wasn't another dream, that Arthur wouldn't be ripped away; wouldn't disappear into the ether—

    Arthur’s hand came up to mirror his until they were palm to palm. His skin was sure and steady on Merlin's, damp, a little cold, flaking at the knuckles and real. Real.

    Arthur said, "Merlin—"

    And Merlin laughed a laugh that felt like a sob, tangled his fingers with Arthur’s, and pulled him to his chest.

    Or

    The one where Arthur returns, Merlin's door throws a hissy fit, and his apprentice really needs to stop messing around with his books.

    Summary

    Sometimes he just wants to pretend. 

    It’s his face and eyes-

    Sometimes, the Monster will draw close, close enough that Quentin can’t see the snarl it pinches Eliot’s mouth into, and he can't help but pretend that it’s him. That it’s Eliot’s head on his shoulder. That it’s Eliot’s hands, passing him a plastic airplane. That it’s Eliot’s breath shuttering against his ear. Sometimes, he just wants to curl up, put his head to that chest that used to be his and listen to that heart beat at its ribs and pretend that it’s Eliot’s.

    And then the Monster blinks just a bit too fast, or talks just a bit too slow, or squeezes just a bit too tight, and the illusion shatters and it’s just heartbreak and shame like boiling water pouring into Quentin over and over and over again.

    Summary

    They’re studying, ‘cause finals are coming up and Eddie’ll be damned if he doesn’t beat Richie in at least one of their classes. Richie’d thrown his head back and laughed when he heard that, had crowed, “Keep dreaming Spaghetti,” as Eddie knocked him in the ribs, but he’s not laughing now. No. Not when they’re sprawled out across Eddie’s beige (boring) bedspread, books open in front of them, and Eddie is gesturing wildly and ranting  about the Axis powers or some shit, his perfect hair is askew and the light is catching his eyes just so, and Richie can only think, he’s beautiful.

    Or

    Five times Richie kissed Eddie and one time Eddie kissed him first.

    Summary

    The quarter is in the outermost pocket of the camping bag. Eliot takes it out and zips the bag securely—as securely as it can get when you’re a magician embarking on a quest to resurrect your dead lover (almost lover, but Eliot didn’t let him get that far because Eliot is stupid), the next step of which is jumping into a fairy circle, which is the biggest magical no no of them all. It’s up there with killing gods and making deals with ancient, magical monsters and breaking deals with ancient, magical monsters and bringing people back from the dead.

    So just another Tuesday then.

    the one where Eliot goes and gets his boy

    “Kill me then.”
    Arthur stands before him, eyes hard, jaw working, voice a hairsbreadth from cracking when he says, “I can’t.”

    Summary

    They are two halves of a whole hurtling through a calamitous universe, stretching across dynasties and war and ruin just to feel the sun on their faces again.

    Summary

    title taken from the playlist

    "Philip glanced up, catching Lukas's eye, and all Lukas could think was oh, before a small zing of electricity shot from his shoulder to the tips of his fingers. Somewhere on the far side of the classroom, one of the twinkling fairy lights the teacher insisted on hanging last winter and never took down popped."

     

    or

     

    the one where Philip is a warlock with a talking cat, and sexuality isn't the only thing Lukas is repressing.
