    Summary

    The thing is, being able to talk to houses doesn't actually preclude them from conspiring to ruin your life. Dex finds this out a little too late. First comes the Dib Flip, then Nursey's bed, and the water heater...the Haus definitely has it in for him.

    In which Dex has house magic, Haus has Haus magic, and at least one of them is in love with Nursey.

    Summary

    After two and a half semesters at Samwell, Dex has gotten used to people handling their stress in weird ways. Bitty bakes up a storm, Lardo is constantly covered in what Dex really, really hopes is paint, Ransom turns into a curled-up ball of anxiety on the nearest flat surface. He gets it: people are just weird here.

    That doesn’t mean he doesn’t choke on his Red Bull when Nursey sighs, “God, I’m so tense right now. I just really need to suck a dick, y’know?”

    (Or: five times Dex and Nursey really don’t quite know what they’re doing, and one time they’ve really, really figured it out.)

    Summary

    Clearly, God hates Taigen, and, clearly, he’s out of his mind. He won’t let himself beg, but if God is truly on Taigen’s side today, in this very moment, He will hear Taigen’s pleas and give him a sign.

    Summary

    “We could try something,” Wallace said. “But you’re going to think it’s pretty gay.”

    Scott couldn’t help but laugh a little at that, and some of the tension seemed to leave Wallace’s face as well. “Try me,” Scott said goodnaturedly.

    “There’s this thing called shotgunning,” Wallace said. “Pretty much, one person breathes in a hit, and then, they breathe out the secondhand into the other person’s mouth. It’s less harsh after it’s been in someone else’s lungs, in my experience.”

    That didn’t sound incredibly gay to Scott. Sure, a little, especially if the lips touched, but really, it was smart—weed could get expensive, Scott imagined, and that’s a two-for-one deal. Twice the amount of high people. Genius, really.

    So, he said so: “Makes sense. That’s just practical.”

    Wallace’s eyebrows, though mostly obscured by his bangs, absolutely raised. “I’m glad you think so,” he said slowly.

    ———

    Scott and Wallace attend a totally-not-gay house party and engage in some totally-not-gay shotgunning.

    Summary

    You don’t know why you’re still here, except that Marion wouldn’t let go of your hand after you’d eased him onto the settee. And then Jean was already coming in with the tea — and Marion was looking at her, but he was holding on to you.

    A missing-scene moment of possibility from Sean’s POV, set between leaving the Circle of Silver Flame chapterhouse & Sean striking out on his own to find Duncan.

    Summary

    Marion’s footfalls were heavy; she felt more than heard them. He saw what Jean held, yanked the door closed, and took hold of her by the shoulders. Jean tore her gaze away from the card and saw in Marion’s eyes her own hollowness reflected.

    He had not seen this.

    Marion had lost his premonitions, and Jean knew, just as she knew it about herself, that he could not stand to lose more than that. For her part, Jean was cold inside, but not in a way that would make her shake. Her hands were steady. The train had faded. She folded the card and placed it back in the envelope.

    Very gently, without allowing their fingers to touch, Marion took the envelope from her. He tucked it inside his waistcoat over his heart. Then his eyes searched hers, solemn and resigned to what they would have to do. “Do we have time,” he asked softly, “to get Nathaniel and Auntie Bee?”

    Summary

    It would be nothing for Sean to lose a year. Wake up soldier, it’s 1907, your back hurts a little more but you’ve still got all your teeth and a full head of glorious hair, your LT has a new job for you, and you managed to score a standing arrangement with the prettiest two people you’ve ever seen, pretty enough to make up for the ugliest bits of you, and the their strong parts fit into your weak parts like a hand in a glove. Yes sir, yes ma’am, reporting for duty. Whatever you did in the last year, Sean Finnerty, they must have been better deeds than all twenty-two years before that; watch yourself, since you’ll never be able to replicate them.

    Not Jean, whose strength was her mind, whose whole world went ass over bayonet these past few months, unrecognizable from the last thing she remembered. They couldn’t hold her now. “She’s got to do it on her own,” Sean sighed. “She can handle it.”

    Marion spoke so quietly that Sean felt the words through his back more than he heard them. “What if it never comes back to her?”

    That was the slippery dark thing down at the root of this that Sean couldn’t face yet. “Then we do it all over again."

    Summary

    Steve shakes his head. “I don’t wanna go dancing. I don’t really care about getting dates or even having it off with someone, even though I guess that’d be nice, too. I just… I wish I could at least get a kiss, y’know? I’m twenty-one years old and I still never been kissed. How pathetic is that?”

    Summary

    It always comes back to this, no matter how many times you look away from it: you, and him, and the breath between you.

    Summary

    Sean came up behind him then, and slipped his right hand into Marion’s back pocket.

    Marion moved fast—faster than he thought he could anymore, since the night of the lighthouse when some of the fight went out of him. He turned counterclockwise and seized Sean, both hands grasping the hair at the back of his head, and stared him down a minute. Sean didn’t blink.

    It would be good to hold each other. The evening’s work had been grueling, and the artifact they recovered could have done much worse to any of them than robbing Sean of his voice. Marion still had tension stored up, clearly.

    And as for Sean, Marion could see, now that he was close, how badly he needed to be put to use.

    He kissed Sean, rough on purpose. What would have been a grunt came out as a huff of air instead. Sean’s tongue pressed into Marion’s mouth—yes—and then he pulled away, gave Marion a warning look, and pointed at the ceiling. He was right. They shouldn’t keep Jean waiting.

    Summary

    The bloomers loosened, fell away. Mr. Finnerty sat up abruptly, his left hand going to the atlas vertebra where Jean’s neck met her skull, his right smoothing over her hip and getting a feel of her buttock, but gently, so gently that she gasped. “Do you know,” he said, his voice husky and somehow wistful in her ear, “the only other person who gets to call me by my last name anymore is my LT, and I don’t see him in here with us.”

    Jean breathed through her nose for composure. That would be… entirely too many men. “I would hate for you to receive conflicting orders,” she told him.

    Mr. Finnerty’s laugh gusted her hair. “Say Sean.”

    Jean shut her eyes and mouth tight.

    Summary

    Marion gasps awake, disoriented and dizzy as he half falls out of bed, the bleed flower mark on his chest pulsing like a heartbeat. Part of him dimly notes that he fell asleep with his shoes on, that the apartment is still dark, no hint of light against the curtains. Then he’s stumbling toward the door, grabbing his old army pack on the way, settling the familiar weight on his shoulders because— you always make sure your gear is ready to go you never know when you have to move— and then he’s out the door, pounding down the stairs and out into the night, the hum of electrical wires loud overhead.

    It would take the better part of an hour to fetch Jean and bring her back here, might take even longer for Marion to find anyone else. It’s a twenty minute leisurely stroll to reach Sean’s apartment, he doesn’t know how fast he can get there in a run. With every footfall, every breath, every heartbeat, a question echoes. Was it just a nightmare or a premonition?

    Summary

    “Maybe we…get it out of our system,” Steve says to the ceiling. “Then everything’ll go back to the way it was.”

    It is the stupidest idea Bucky has ever heard. Wanting Steve isn’t so much a thing coursing through his veins as it is a vein unto itself. An electric current running, always, under his skin.

    But he wants so badly to kiss Steve’s stupid mouth again until neither one of them can breathe.

    “Good idea,” Bucky says.

    After Azzano, Steve and Bucky have to deal with what’s different about (and between) them.

    Summary

    “S’too bad,” Steve says thoughtfully. He puts his hands back into the bucket, plucks Bucky’s underwear out of the sudsy wad of fabric down at the bottom. “If you’d gotten some of Erskine’s juice, maybe you’d still be taller than me.”

    It does the trick: Bucky’s eyes flash. “I am still taller than you,” he says, threatening. Steve shrugs. “I am,” Bucky says, louder, and stands up, dripping water and soap.

    Summary

    The first time it happens, they’re in Wakanda.

    “You're bored,” Bucky murmurs, low. Hears how gravelly it comes out, exactly the smoke-filled tone he used to use to achieve a very particular purpose. “Wanna do something dumb?”

    “Like what?” Sam asks, flat. Bucky grins, just a little, sharp.

    “I can think of a few things,” he says, and steps closer, watches how Sam doesn't step away. They're in each other's space, and Bucky knows goddamn better than this, knows he put himself away in Bucharest for a reason, but fuck, he's tired and he's pissed off and he's reckless, and so is Sam, energy bouncing between them. “For instance,” Bucky says, waits a beat. “I'm pretty dumb,” and hears Sam's breathing speed up.

    Summary

    When Bucky's libido shows back up, it's basically proof that his life is cursed.

    Like, obviously, hooray that his dick works again, it's been a long fuckin’ road (and a long road of no fucking, his brain helpfully adds) but—Jesus, fuck, Hydra really are just dedicated to making his life a misery in every possible way, even years down the track, because it turns out there's some operant conditioning Bucky did not know about until now.

    Specifically: he can't fuckin’ come unless someone's giving him the order.

    Summary

    ‘Oh good, more excellent ideas from Thor,’ Loki sighs with a total and complete lack of enthusiasm. ‘Can’t I just push Heimdall down the stairs or something?’

    ‘How is that a good deed?’ Thor asks, bewildered.

    ‘It would give everyone a good laugh,’ Loki says, the corner of his mouth twitching. ‘I’m laughing on the inside just picturing it.’

    ---

    In which Loki is roped into cleaning up his act to reassure the people that he isn't planning on betraying them (again), while Thor spends far too much time explaining that no, they aren’t sleeping together.

    Summary

    In his dream, Edgin's skin was burning.

    Hot, like fever. Slick with sweat. Soft lips against his, biting desperate kisses from Edgin’s mouth as large, sword-rough hands pet down his chest.

    "My love," Xenk rumbled in Edgin's ear.

    Edgin drifted awake, damp with sweat and panting in the thin grey of dawn. Beneath the covers, Edgin's cock pulsed, remembering the warm fantasy of Xenk's hands, his scent, his rumbling voice ...

    Holga's snore from the next room jolted Edgin from his lingering fantasies. With a long groan, Edgin hit the back of his head against his pillow a few times in frustration.

    Honestly, what the fuck.
