Owner of a Broken Heart by ahyperactivehero (ahyperactiverhero)

Summary
He stepped up, ready to swing his bat down on him— to crack it across the back of his head like his own dad had done to him when he was younger— when all of a sudden Edwin was there.
"Charles, no!" Edwin said, stepping between them.
Charles would never hit Edwin, had never even come close to it in their thirty years of friendship, but that didn't stop the absolute terror from seizing in Charles's gut when he realized what had almost happened.
"Ed—"
A split second later, that bastard Devlin turned around and swung down.
Straight at Edwin.
XOr, an AU where Edwin gets stuck in the Devlin House loop instead of Charles.

Summary
Beside him, someone stirs.
Eddie turns towards it, thinking of sleepovers with the Losers, of Richie knocking on his window at 10pm and crawling into Eddie’s bed when he lets him in.
His eyes adjust. It still takes a second.
“Morning, babe,” says a man, a full-grown adult man, in his fucking bed.
(Or, 14 year old Eddie gets a glimpse into what's coming.)

Summary
Rising from their woolen blanket spread over the forest floor, Edwin politely clasped his hands together. “I think I am going to turn in for the night, actually.”
Charles almost looked disappointed, though it was hard to pin anything down in the shifting lights of the fire. It was as though two different futures flickered over his face. In one, painted by the warm, orange glow softening Charles’ brow, and dipping into the inviting bow of his lips, Edwin saw a scene where he’d be allowed to pull Charles into bed with him. In another, cast by sharp shadows along his jaw, Edwin watched helplessly as Charles moved halfway across the world, and drifted further away every day.
“Right, I’m pretty tired myself. Won’t be far behind.” Charles said, and a selfish part of Edwin wanted to ask: but for how much longer?
Or, sometimes you just need a week long, post-university graduation camping trip to figure out the rest.

hold the quiet by aloneintherain

Tags
Summary
SecUnit is staring at him. Ratthi accidentally makes eye contact again, and its gaze doesn’t dart away like it normally does. It stays locked onto his. Deliberately maintaining the eye contact.
Ratthi flexes his hands. His skin is tacky with fluids and the webs of his fingers stick together. “You’re really worrying me, SecUnit. Talk to me. Tell me you’re okay.”
“I’m okay,” SecUnit says immediately.
(OR: After Murderbot is attacked by the company and has its governor module switched back on, it can’t speak freely to ask for help. It takes its friends a while to notice.)

Summary
Buck's face breaks into a grin. "That's — that's awesome. I love kids."
"Yeah?" Chim asks, leaning back in his chair. "Got any of your own?" His tone is teasing; it's obvious he doesn't think the answer is yes, but he and Hen both perk up at the sight of the pink that makes its way onto Buck's cheeks.
"Uh," Buck huffs, rubbing the back of his neck. "I just — I was a nanny for a while. Or, well—"
"A manny?" Chim asks, delighted.
Buck laughs. "Yeah, sure. A manny."
OR the one where the members of Station 118 have no idea that Buck is married with a kid.

Summary
Eddie knew it was his own damn fault, since he'd waved off the apologies when Buck recognized the barely-awake fogginess of his voice. He did want to talk to him, always would, but, well. There was no excuse for the way it slipped out of his mouth.
“I was dreaming about you.”
Buck giggled. “Were you?” he said teasingly. “Were we on a pirate ship? Or exploring a rainforest? Building a time machine?” And it was sweet, and silly, and at least Buck felt the warmth in his voice and didn’t assume Eddie meant a nightmare. Because, fuck. It was not a nightmare.

or: In El Paso, Eddie keeps having sex dreams about Buck, and Buck knows about them. Well, kind of.

The Scottish Safehouse Anthology by SurrealSupernaturalist
Fandom: The Magnus Archives (Podcast), The Magnus Protocol (Podcast)
19 Sep 2024
Summary
A series of short, interconnected stories about a certain teacher and his students, and maybe some surprise guests along the way.
Jonathan Sims, The Archivist, teaches a year 13 elective class on Paranormal Sciences, because the school board took one look at his resume, saw The Magnus Institute listed as a previous workplace, and went 'we have a better idea' for his History teacher application. His first batch of students are not what he expected in the slightest, featuring: Kyōryokuna ‘Ko’ James, the Collector; Dian Cooper, hypersomniac goth; Christopher 'Kit' Wilson, tired barista; Alex Pierce, amateur paranormal investigator; Zuri Jelani, local sceptic; and Duke Murdock, Slaughter avatar in the making. There are also mugs. A lot of mugs.
Tag along and have a blast in this sandbox of ideas I've started mucking about in. This is my chill project. It's really fun to write.

Summary
Edwin sighed. “Just go read it to Charles, he’ll understand it.”
She looked between them, suddenly having the feeling she was missing something.
“It’s fine,” said Charles. “You don’t have to. I can do it, I just don't like to."

Know Thyself by muirgen_lys for Dead_but_still_sarcastic
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)
27 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
The sight of the body in its nest of blankets comes with the same shock of wrongness it always does: the jaw a little too soft, the curves he knows are hidden under those layers of blankets, too noticeable even when he drowned them in loose jackets and baggy trousers. The little cues that still said girl no matter how short he cut his hair.
For a moment, the sense that that body belongs to a stranger is so strong, that he genuinely doesn’t register that he is looking at himself, pale and silent and unbreathing.

Summary
Henry had been very pleased to discover that Alex and Nora were also a shoeless household, but he’d stared at the SHOES OFF, PANTS OPTIONAL mat at their door for longer than strictly advised because, well. Pants means something different where he’s from, all right, and Alex had been standing right there and the corresponding visual was not—well it wasn’t—Henry was not equipped to deal with it at the moment. Or ever, really, for that matter.
.
Or, Henry likes his routines, and his neighbor Alex likes to wreck them just the right amount.

Summary
“You know what they say,” Buck replied. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Isn’t that right, Eddie?”
Bobby looked up, then, glancing back and forth between the two of them—Buck, giving Eddie his best lovesick puppy dog eyes, Eddie ignoring him. “What’s going on here?” he asked.
“Oh, we’d need several psychologists to unpack that,” said Hen. “Maybe an anthropologist, too.”
Next to her, Ravi grimaced and explained, “I said something stupid earlier, and now Buck has been flirting with Eddie all day, to drive us insane.”
----
Buck starts flirting with Eddie. As a joke, obviously.

Summary
“Maybe you should try casual. Date a friend who would still be your friend after you break up,” Buck says, and in the same breath, without thinking, “Date me.”
He snaps his mouth shut, his entire body flushing with heat. Eddie looks at him for a very, very long second. “You.”
Through the sudden panic, Buck’s mouth goes on autopilot, “No sex, just a few dates, we’ll have an amicable break up. I already know and love Christopher. And anyway, I’m a guy. So, no need to worry about you catching feelings either.”
-
Spoiler alert: it’s not casual. They don’t break up. And they have sex.

Summary
The sob that escaped him was a tiny thread of sound, little more than an embellishment upon the air. He did not wail. It was too big for that, too much, all the more painful for being unexpected. Not Arthur's betrothal, but his own reaction to it. It was as if all the nebulous uncertainty of the day had crystallised into a blade.
Worse, he had no one to blame but himself. He had never told Arthur how he felt. It had always seemed like a step too far, and now it was too late.
Tomorrow, he would pick up the pieces of himself and find the strength to bear the scars of it. He would be the friend Arthur needed, and he would pretend that was enough.
Tonight, he mourned.
------
When Arthur announces his courtship to Lady Aveline of Spirehold, Merlin resigns himself to never speaking of his love. Yet the universe has other ideas. Stuck in the same, repeating day, can Merlin find his courage and break free, or will he lose his last chance to speak of what lingers in his heart?

Surely, then, he would not mind if Edwin continued to speak the truths of his heart?Or: Five ways Edwin shows his love for Charles, and one way Charles returns it all.
