Summary
Crisp, thin air. The rough scrape of blades on ice. The jumbled, unintelligible echo of male voices, ringing off the rafters and bouncing through the empty seats. The familiar smell, sweaty equipment and rubber flooring and Zamboni fluid. Luke’s taken to closing his eyes sometimes, cutting off his primary sense, and just absorbing the noise and the scent and the feel of cool air on his cheeks. That way, regardless of where he is, an arena still feels like home.
Or, an AU in which Luke is a small-town hockey superstar who gets drafted to the Montreal Canadiens, Ashton is the bubbly team Captain, Calum is a defenceman with a bad habit of settling on-ice conflicts with his fists, and Michael is the NHL's first openly gay player.Series

Summary
The last place that Callum ever thought he’d find himself was on a reality show, broadcasting his every move to millions of people across the nation. Battling with the prospect of living twenty four hours a day with a group of fame hungry and competitive strangers, all Callum could hope for was to make it through the process unnoticed.
However, one housemate seemed to have other ideas, and Callum was soon finding himself as the centre of someone’s attention…

Summary
(Title from Love Me by The 1975)
5sos are living in London. Luke likes Michael. Michael likes Luke. It's simple really... but why do both boys find it so hard to allow themselves to be happy? Michael is afraid of love and commitment and Luke is afraid of rejection. Their fears lead them to do the stupidest things to drive the other way, to the extent of being broken. Can they ever help one another to mend? Can they ever truly be happy?
Angsty smut with plot. Features some hints of Cashton**Update: It's more plot than smut, but there is still some smut. :-)

Summary
The first thing he notices is that the main tent – the big top – isn’t red and white, but is instead black, silver and purple. That seems to be the colour scheme throughout, because each of smaller tents that are dotted around the field is a variation of those colours. Some are black with silver stars, others purple with black moons, and so many more combinations Luke can't even count. The people who work here are easy to tell apart from the visitors. They’re dressed completely in black and wearing purple or silver accessories – hats, suspenders, shoes, bowties. Their faces painted black and white – as skeletons, some kind of monsters or with symbols on their cheeks. Luke hasn’t been close enough to see what any of the symbols are yet.
Luke is dragged to the circus by his brother and ends up falling for the magician's assistant.

Summary
Suddenly Luke’s skin is itchy underneath and his clothes don’t feel right. He’s sweaty and uncomfortable with how good it feels having Michael pressed up against him. It isn’t supposed to feel like this. Luke doesn’t know why he never realized that until just now. This thing they do, where they’re always in each other’s space, always touching, always wrapped around each other – it’s how Luke should be with a girl. Not his best friend.

Summary
Michael and Luke are flatmates who can't stand each other, so the two of them having to spend the Christmas break with just each other could only be a bad thing, right?

Summary
An accident during a performance ends for Luke in blood and total retrograde amnesia; rendering his mind an empty slate that doesn’t know as much as his own first name. His band is left to help him reassemble the scattered pieces of his life, to coax his memories back, and to deal with the fallout when the most important thing is the one thing Luke can’t remember.

Summary
"Luke can practically feel Michael’s eyes roaming the half of his body that’s not obscured by the table. He rolls his eyes before dropping Michael’s hand, and when he looks back at him he’s smirking. Luke glares at him, and Michael holds his hands up in mock surrender while laughing.
He’s pretty and arrogant, and Luke hates him."

Summary
Michael smiles while the lanky, baby blue-eyed, blonde boy rambles about his hatred for Gatsby. He doesn't even realize it but he basically verbally wrote his essay outline. Luke's not an idiot and Michael knows it.
When Luke finishes ranting Michael replies, "You know, you just told me your outline."
Luke looks at him in confusion. "What? No, how?"
"You first told me your stance which is your thesis. Then you gave me evidence which is your body paragraphs. All you need is quotes from the text and analysis, then, boom, you have an essay," Michael answers with a smile.
Luke groans and places his head in his hands. "I'm so fucking stupid. How did I not realize that?"
Michael frowns. Luke's not stupid.
