The Last Time Comes Too Soon by Birdpeople (DeusExMachina)

Summary
Ronan’s eyebrows went up, and Adam was sure that he, too, was replaying the old arguments in his head, both of them watching the same silent film. He knew there was contempt in the arch of those brows that he’d more than earned. They said, 'For a cat?' And even louder, 'When you never would for me?'
“Adam,” Ronan said. He still hadn’t taken off his boots. He’d driven four hours and was still standing on the rag rug by the kitchen door in his mud boots, and Adam knew it was deliberate, that it meant that depending on what Adam had to say, Ronan would have no compunction about turning right around and driving the four hours back down to Singer’s Falls. “Why did you call me?”

Summary
It was not that he had any compunctions about going after a former employer. In fact, it wouldn’t even have been the first time. He was loathe to burn bridges, but given the nature of the job for which Declan Lynch had hired him, he found it highly unlikely that the boy ever planned to reach out again.
After all, he’d only had the one father.

The one where Declan hired the Gray Man to kill Niall. -

Summary
Gansey made the softest little noise as Adam ghosted cool fingers across the marks, somewhere between a whimper and a sigh.
Something fleeting and fragile stirred in Adam’s chest. Gansey. That was Gansey. A boy born on a marble pedestal with a cool look in his eye, now with mussed hair and swollen lips, his cheeks and chin slick with Blue, his lowered eyelids thin-skinned lavender.
---
Everyone gangs up on Gansey.

Summary
Declan eyed Noah. Noah wiggled his toes as those clear gray eyes took in his unwashed hair, the fresh hickies no shirt collar was ever gonna cover, the dried cum, the pierced nipples, the shitty stick n poke tattoos, and the open carton of orange juice. A faint look of disgust curled Declan’s lip, which in turn sent a line of heat singing down Noah’s brain stem, pooling low in his gut.
Nice. He could work with that.
---
Rockstar AU where Noah crashes with Ronan whenever he's in town. This time he meets Ronan's hot older brother and invites him to the last show of his tour. Sex ensues.

Summary
Kavinsky’s face split into a slow, insolent grin. “Did you really kill a kid?”
Had he really said that? A rill of sweat trickled down Whelk’s ribs. He couldn’t move, paralyzed.
“How—?”
“Now me,” Kavinsky was saying thoughtfully, “If I killed someone? For damn sure I wouldn’t stick around.” His New Jersey drawl was obnoxious in the closeness of the night. “I’d move to a different state. Down south, maybe, where no one had even heard the name Kavinsky.”
---
Whelk broke his favorite toy when he killed Noah. So what if Kavinsky doesn't really look like him?

Summary
This is usually the moment in the dream when Jayce realizes he’s loved Viktor for a long time. He doesn’t say anything about that, though. Instead he says, We did it, we did it, Viktor, and Viktor says, Catch me. Jayce smiles so wide it aches.
Maybe that’s not exactly how it happened. Maybe Jayce doesn’t care.
Tonight he dreams about That Night again. In this version, he already knows that Viktor is going to die—he stares at his limbs moving like he’s underwater, at his big, bright smile, and thinks I don’t want you to end up where you’re going. What can I do to make sure you stay?Jayce and Viktor try to save Viktor's life.

Summary
Martin was almost used to what they had to do now to survive - what Jon needed to do to survive. They sought out the monsters that plagued London, they got rid of said monsters, and Jon was fed and the world was a little brighter afterwards, or at least that's what he told himself to feel better about it. Going into The Stranger's lair was supposed to be just another one of those nights. Break in, endure a brief but intense struggle against primal fear itself, then leave the place and its inhabitants all in a smouldering heap.
If only it had been that simple.

After Stolas is put to trial in front of the Goetia, he finds himself being taken away by robed figures. Luckily, there are some familiar faces hiding there, and Blitzø helps him find somewhere safe to stay. Forced into proximity, the two have dinner and some difficult conversations. And ultimately succumb to that unbearable chemistry, of course.
Or: a headcanon/speculative idea about the ending of Mastermind.

Summary
As one of the most sought-after sex icons of his generation, Fizzarolli is more than accustomed to feeling watched. Jealousy, infatuation, and obsession are all essentially the same thing if you squint real hard, and, well, Fizzarolli isn’t known for his good eyes! Recently, though, things have been… different. And not sexy different, like Ozzie bringing new shit into the bedroom— no, Fizz loves those times, loves every whip and chain and roleplay that Ozzie’s brought to their big, luxurious bed— but strange different, like… like the shadows pooling strangely in the corners, or the floorboards creaking when nobody else was home, or the back of his neck prickling with the overwhelming feeling of being hunted.
...Oh, well. He's sure it's nothing. By the way, where's Blitzo been?
