Summary
Peter isn’t sure what he’s doing here. It isn’t his place to show up like this, standing on the porch in the clothes he just walked in for four days. He didn’t promise this, didn’t tell Ray he would do anything for him. But they were friends, for however brief a time, and Peter feels drawn to this house, to what is left of Raymond Garraty.

Summary
"You're blond!" Geoff laughs. He ruffles Awsten's hair. "You haven't been properly blond in years."
Otto doesn't speak, hat gripped in a fist. He swallows almost imperceptibly. His eyes stay locked on Awsten's hair, shoulders twitching slightly in some aborted gesture.
"You don't like it?" Awsten asks, his voice teasing but he's genuinely worried that Otto is about to turn around and get back on a plane to Houston.
"You said you wouldn't go blond again." Otto mumbles.

Summary
Red Cells are not desirable teams to be on. They’re full of misfit agents with shady pasts who don’t fit into other teams. Public disgraces, nepo babies with no talent, anger issues, dysfunctional personalities…
Beth will fit right in.

Summary
“Hi, hi, sorry I’m late, I’m Awsten,” he’s saying enthusiastically.
Geoff shakes his hand, a bit dazed, his eyes acting on their own and following down the line of his neck. His softer jaw flows down, his shirt hugging at his shoulders and chest and dipping into his waist. Geoff might be going insane; he has a vision of grabbing that waist tight and pulling him in close, leaving bruises all over his soft skin. Pushing it this way, and that.
“I’m assuming you’re Mr. Wigington?” Awsten says.
Geoff’s knees go weak, hearing that out of that sweet mouth.

Proof of Consequences And Exhausted Common Sense by lastmidtownshow24

Summary
Awsten's been in love with Otto since the day they met outside that post-hardcore show venue. Given Otto's history of a) being straight, and b) dating Awsten's ex, he'd given up on the idea that anything might happen between the two. It turns out, nothing with Waterparks is that simple.

Basically, an Awtto songfic based on the Waterparks discography.Bookmarked by Lightning_Zombie

Summary
Awsten knows how to deal with the flowers in his lungs, he's fought them and his feelings off dozens of times before. But wouldn't it be nice to let himself fall just a little this once? Nothing is gonna go wrong, right?
