“You want to kiss me?”
Colin merely nodded in response, that confident, deadly smile still firmly in place. “As a thank you.”
Penelope’s eyes darted from his face to the door, which was still firmly shut.
Locked.

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.” He said gently, keeping her gaze steadily, “But if you’re worried, I could help you with that. You could use me to… practice I suppose.”
Kate’s mouth dropped open in surprise, leaning back, snatching her hands away from him, and he felt it nearly immediately. “What?!”OR

Summary
“We don’t have to talk.”
She could have sworn she heard Anthony’s jaw snap shut, and his voice was terse, “Right, so we’ll just drive back to Carlisle in silence will we?”
It stung at her, the irritation she always felt in his presence flickering to life once again, scoffing derisively, and she couldn’t help but say it. “Oh, I’m sorry, Anthony! Did you want to talk about the last time we were stuck in a car together? Should we unpack the time you fucked me in the backseat of your mum’s Volkswagen station wagon? Because from what I remember, that conversation should take us all of about three minutes!”OR
Anthony Bridgerton remembered the first time he met Kate Sharma. When he’d gone home dripping in blue paint with tears rolling down both their cheeks. Her mother his mother’s best friend, thrown together at every opportunity and all they did was argue. Forced to see one another at Christmas and yet he still thought of her every week in between. And despite that, the very last person he wanted to see as his flight disappeared from the flight board was Kate Sharma. And even less did he want to see her leaving the car rental line with the very last set of keys in her hand- Language:

Summary
“Do you… know Captain Sharma?”
“Oh, you could say that.”
Anthony stopped dead at the sound of her voice. That voice, and he closed his eyes against the memory of her grinding against his fingers, her thighs squeezing his. He turned slowly, and his stomach dropped. Her long legs were in dark stockings now, a tight pencil skit hugging those hips that he’d wanted to sink his teeth into and her jacket was perfectly tailored, a pilot’s cap tucked under her arm.
Her lips, painted a light pink this time, curved in a wicked smile as her eyebrow arched and she held her hand out towards him. “Captain Kate Sharma, lovely to meet you, Anthony…” Her eyes flicked down to the paper in her hand, “Bridgerton. Cabin Manager.”OR
Anthony spent his entire life making sure things were ship shape, exactly the way they should be. And just sometimes he likes to cut loose. Forget his responsibilities and find someone in a dingy bar. The very last thing he expected to do was find Kate Sharma. Even less did he expect her to show up two days later. The new pilot.
OR
Kate and Anthony are two people who absolutely should not be looking at a relationship right now. If only they could stay away

Summary
“Excuse me!” Kate called out, letting Newton run forward. “Sorry, excuse me!”
The man turned around in surprise, looking down the street after them. “Yes? Are you…? Being chased?”
Kate ignored how the gravel of his seemed to echo through her. “We aren’t being chased. You are.”
He looked behind him and then down at Newton who was sniffing his immaculately polished shoe. “Who’s doing the chasing? Hello, doggy.”
There was something sort of sweet about that but Kate ignored that as well. “Do you like women?”
His eyes flashed to hers and a slow smile spread across his face. Making him seem even more handsome. “Oh, I love women.”
“And your name is?”
“Anthony, lovely to meet you.”
Kate nudged Sophie in front of her. “This is Sophie and we’re doing spontaneous blind dates to find the love of her life.”
Anthony’s eyes flashed to Sophie before they landed back on Kate. “No offence to Sophie, she seems lovely but I think I’d rather go on a blind date with you.”OR
Kate was trying to do a fun segment and ends up flirting with her polar opposite

Summary
Buck’s taking him to therapy, where he knows Eddie’s therapist’s name and Eddie’s entire history with him; Buck, who let himself into Eddie’s house with food from Eddie’s favorite coffee shop with coffee crafted perfectly for Eddie’s tastes; Buck, who apparently has a book on Eddie’s coffee table with so many dog-eared pages it’s like any interruption at Eddie’s house is worth putting it down.
Buck, who touches him with a devotion as palpable as all the little pieces of himself scattered throughout Eddie's home.
Eddie thinks he might have solved his own question, but he’s afraid to look at the answer too closely—because he’s fairly certain his best friend is in love with him, and Eddie can’t remember a single thing about him.
Or, the one where Eddie wakes up from the shooting only to think he was hurt in a certain 7.1 earthquake years prior and learns to appreciate the life he's created for himself since then.

Summary
The midday sun is unrelenting in New Mexico. An entire field of wild carrots dies overnight, right next to the grounds, and worried whispers follow for days: no one’s seen it this bad before.
But Peeta bears the hot sunshine with a grin, because after three days it finally drives the Everdeen sisters into the shade of the mess tent at lunchtime.

Summary
Just as Effie Trinket’s hand reached for the slips, a slight gust of wind stirred the air, and a spirit tinkled a wind chime—its ringing whispering a different fate into the breeze.
In District 12, the Games never came for Katniss Everdeen.
As the Capitol tightens its grip and rebellion begins to stir, Katniss is left to reckon with who she is, what she believes in—and whether love is something she can afford in a world where survival is never promised.(AU — Never Reaped. This would have happened anyway.)

Summary
If the star crossed lovers from district 12 never went into the games, if they were never pitted against each other, doomed to fight and kill each other, if their stars weren’t crossed at all, what would have happened anyway?
Keeping Katniss's family fed without tesserae is not easy and Peeta's parents are pushing him to marry a merchant girl as soon as possible. The best way to escape starvation and a prison of a marriage is to marry each other, but that would require Katniss to let go of a promise she made to herself a long time ago, to never marry anyone.

Summary
“Don’t steal him from us. We were talking!” Maddie says to Buck.
Buck sticks his tongue out. “I call dibs.”
“You can’t call dibs on a person, Evan. Do we need to have the ‘people aren’t objects’ talk?”
Buck’s hold on Eddie’s hand tightens, like Maddie was about to pull Eddie back down. He has never been more happy to be in the middle of a sibling war. Or… to be called dibs on? Eddie doesn’t know, but his heart is fluttering, and that traitorous warmth is rising in his cheeks.
Buck is a great roommate. And then he starts kissing Eddie.

Summary
“I’ll do it,” Eddie repeats, looking at Buck in one of those silent conversation ways again, but Buck actually can’t figure out what he’s trying to say this time. It messes with his brain, until Eddie speaks again, “I’ll pretend to only be a little offended none of you have thought to ask me before, but Buck, I’ve fixed a lot of cars. I can look at yours.”
(or, the check engine light comes on in Buck's Jeep, Eddie volunteers to fix it and carpool with him in the meantime, and it all breaks down from there, literally and metaphorically)

Summary
There's a part of Eddie that's tempted to do something insane, something that'll absolutely fuck up this Eddie's day, if he's a real person with a real life that Eddie is just borrowing for the time being, and not an elaborate figment of his own subconscious. Something like hopping on a plane to Los Angeles, tracking down whatever version of Buck lives there now, seeing what happens.
He wants to know if Buck would smile at him again, without the weight of history between them. If maybe, in a different world, he'd want Eddie.
Or: in the aftermath of a deadly car accident, Eddie finds himself able to visit other lives he could have lived: other worlds, other possibilities, and maybe - just maybe - a chance to get things right.

Summary
“I think,” he says, watching Karen pull Hen out onto the dance floor, their eyes never leaving each other’s, “I think I’m just—sad.”
Maybe. That feels like a close enough word to describe this gaping maw right in the center of his chest. It’s only really there sometimes, taking little bites out of him, easy enough to ignore, but today is worse.
“About being single at a wedding,” Eddie says, not a question.
Buck shrugs. “Sounds stupid when you put it that way.”
or, the one with the four weddings (feat. a drunk karen wilson, shania twain, a single cheerio, and some confessions over cubed fruit).

Summary
“Did you know if you put a frog in water and slowly bring it to boiling, it won’t hop out?” Chris is chattering as Buck makes a quick dinner while Eddie argues with his gas company on the phone. He can hear the occasional swear word in Spanish as his voice raises. Eddie doesn’t like to raise his voice around Christopher – the very thought makes Buck want to kiss him full on the mouth – so he decided to take it to the living room while Chris sits with his homework in the kitchen and Buck cooks.
“Hmm?” Buck asks, unable to fully pull himself out of Bobby’s baked mac and cheese recipe. It took him years, but he finally convinced the man to write it down. Bobby’s handwriting was juvenile at best on a good day, but this was nearly unreadable. Buck wonders if he did that on purpose. “Frogs?”
“Yeah!” Chris states. “My teacher said that if you put a frog in a pot, you have to make sure it’s not immediately boiling. You put them in water and then slowly raise the temperature and they won’t realize what’s happening. Then once they realize, they have no place to go. They can’t jump out.”
