    Summary

    Blow: Jazz slang for 'improvise'; it has a more mystical aura.

    Spacedogs meets the critically acclaimed 2014 film 'Whiplash' in a fury of drum hits, tough love, and burgeoning affections. Adam is a first-year student at one of the most prestigious music conservatories in America. Having lost his father the year before, his passion and drive to become a great jazz drummer are his only companions, and it's not long before he catches the eye of Shaffer's most notorious ball-busting, swearing, and dangerously alluring band leader. Nigel sees the sheer determination in Adam's commitment to being a musician and will do anything he can, no matter how questionable, to push him towards excellence. Things get complicated (and adorably kinky) when attractions can no longer be resisted.

    Summary

    Will blinks, slow. He glances to either side of himself, past exposed brick and reclaimed wooden floors, past steel fittings holding up tables marked ‘no laptops’ with carefully calligraphed signs and the wiry bulbs burning dim in light fixtures above. He looks at the young man behind him, who doesn’t notice past his phone and his earbuds, and finally Will turns back to the barista.

    Baristo?

    Coffee-monger?

    Fuck it.

    “Just coffee,” Will repeats again, slower.

    A delightful AU about a rare book dealer, an owner of a high-end coffee shop, and murder. This does involve Hannibal Lecter, after all.

    Summary

    "What do I do?” Steve appealed into the phone. “I’m freaking out.”

    There was silence on the other end of the line. It lasted so long that Steve pulled the receiver away from his ear and frowned at it. Pay phones were old. Maybe this one wasn’t working despite the obvious dial tone when he picked up.

    “Ok,” a stranger’s voice said over the phone. “First acknowledge the fact that you dialed the wrong number, but be quick about it because my cab is a few blocks away from my own plans and I’m about to drop some truth bombs on you.”

    Summary

    They’ve decided to start producing Bucky Bears again, now that he’s all shiny and redeemed and fighting for good on this big Avengers misfits team. "He has a little shiny gray arm," Bucky says, wiggling the stuffed arm in question, one of the tweaks made in the new model. It takes Steve a second to realize that Bucky’s got a small smile on his face, actually looks a little bit proud around the eyes.

    Or, Bucky relearns himself and how to be on a team, the rest of the Avengers try to get answers, and everyone watches too much Criminal Minds.

    Summary

    Erik has seen the boy quite a few times over the last two months. He's extremely pretty and always arrives late in some posh car or other, always with a different gentleman companion. Erik isn't naïve. He knows what he's looking at, can imagine well what they will do behind the closed door of their hotel room. In fact, he has secretly and shamefully imagined it, later, much later, when he's lying in his bed at home and can't stop thinking about the boy with the red lips, wondering what it would be like to touch all that pale skin and the too long hair curling against the nape of his neck.
