Chunder and Honks by MildredMost for soupytwist

Summary
O sing me a song of Chunder and Honks
Or Chunny and Honkers to mates
Two men who very occasionally fuck
But definitely don't go on dates
Yes sing me that song of Chunder and Honks
Who only make out when they're high
'Cos Chunny is pretty much mainly straight
(Though Honkers, I will add, is bi.) -

Summary
He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket. Something fell out of it and skittered across the floor.
“You…” Edward hesitated to ask. “You make a habit of carrying teeth in your pocket?”
John glanced down at the tooth lying there.
“Worth a shilling, that,” he said. “Always got a couple about my person in case of need.”
Edward swallowed. John grinned and kissed him. Edward wondered how he could want a man who carried human teeth in his pocket like loose change.

Summary
I have all night lying ahead of me and, as I know I cannot sleep - in spite of my resolve - I thought I would try to write down in detail the thing that has just happened to me. I am afraid that setting it down like this will not make it any the more believable, but it will pass the time until dawn comes.

Summary
A penniless Knight and his squire travel to compete in a great Tournament. But their plans are foiled by injury, and the only way to support themselves is by gambling at the mysterious House of Fortune.
“You were ever a shoddy squire, Simon,” Sir Elrick tried to joke, but it came out wrong. Too solemn. He lay down, the edges of his vision blackening suddenly. He could see Simon looking down at him with concern.
That was a jest, he tried to say, but felt too weak form the words.
“I know. I’m sorry.” Simon’s voice was soft. -

Summary
Jack and Gus both survive Gruhuken and are taken to Longyearbyen to recover. But there's something badly wrong with Jack, and Gus wonders if anything will be right again.
It had taken getting his appendix out for Gus to realise he was in love. It was ridiculous of course. Completely ridiculous. Of all the awkward buggers in the world to fall for, in of all the awkward situations. But Jack ticked every box on a list he hadn’t known he had: lean, dark, scathingly honest, and burning with intellectual curiosity.

Summary
With a match against the Eton first eleven looming, Psmith is behaving strangely, and Mike wants to get to the bottom of it.
“That’s new,” Fossington said to Psmith, indicating the monocle.
“I didn’t think it was possible for you to get more affected Smith,” Carter sneered.
“It’s Psmith,” said Mike, detecting the dropped ‘P’. “Are you hard of hearing or just stupid?”
“Always the man with the pertinent question, Comrade Jackson,” Psmith said mildly, taking a sip of his tea. -

Summary
James Hazell is making a movie in London when his past comes back to confront him.
“We’ve an old friend in common. Ralph Lanyon.”
James felt his mouth dry out. He said nothing.
“Gosh don’t you remember?” Bunny’s voice was light and innocent. “He remembers you. He was your head of house at school, wasn’t he? It sounds like he was terrifically strict.”
He let his voice linger on ‘strict’. James swallowed.

Summary
James and Thomas are reunited at last.
“It is James. My James,” Thomas said, and his face as he said it made George’s breath catch.
“But how can this be? Can you be mistaken?” George burst out. For this man could not be Thomas’s beloved. Someone less like a principled Naval Lieutenant George could not picture. “Your...he died, did he not? And was a lieutenant in the Royal Navy. This man is…” He looked at the unconscious man on Thomas’s bed and could only think ‘pirate’.

Summary
Mary Bennet agrees to spend the London season with the newly married Darcys. She discovers that she would still infinitely prefer a book. But hiding in the library at balls and parties is not the solution, as an odd young man keeps turning up there.
“'Miss Bennet', she says. I did not know my Conscience would have such an ordinary name.”
“I am not your conscience, sir,” Mary said, feeling made fun of and annoyed to be shaken out of her reverie for nonsense. “And whimsicality such as this, whilst charming in a child, is not so appealing in a grown man.”
“Wait,” he said. “Do wait. I am so used to speaking in that silly way with silly young women that I quite forgot myself. Please stay and talk a little more.”
(from the prompt "Mary's season in London. Her moralising is a trial to her sisters but in the end she outshines them all.")
ETA Thank you to Prinzenhasserin for helping me bounce around some ideas, and to Burglebezzlement for the offer of betaing!

Summary
Draco and Ron are still negotiating their new feelings, when Draco's past comes back to cause problems again.
“Draco, I…” Ron stopped. “That’s my jumper,” he said.
Draco folded his arms protectively. “Well after you tore my shirt off me the other night I didn’t have anything to get home in,” he said, ignoring the fact he’d been wearing it ever since.
“Ron I can hear this you know,” said an irritated voice in the background. Harry.

Summary
George Wickham spends a summer trying to seduce Darcy.
I wonder how you do see me?” Wickham said. He ran the riding crop up and down his lean thigh and Darcy’s mouth dried. He was right in front of him now, and Darcy wished he had never sat down.
“Companion, perhaps? Friend? No.”
Wickham knelt. Darcy’s blood roared. He could not move.

Summary
Adams smoked his pipe for a little in silence.
“By the way, you pull all right with Cruikshank now, don’t you?” he asked.
“Rather. I used to bar him awfully, but we—well, we had a talk after Hughes was sent away, and decided to get on better together. Crookles is a good chap.”
Frank and Cruikshank have an honest talk at last. -

Summary
Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud spend a romantic winter in London together. The screamy, stabby, drunken sort of romantic.
“Do it then!” Rimbaud yelled, tearing at his undershirt, baring his chest.
"Stop it!” Paul screamed back. “Why cannot you understand? Selfish little fucking…I should stab you through the heart, if you had one.”
“If I had one? What do you have in place of one, you pathetic drunk? An empty gin bottle?” Rimbaud started to laugh. -

Summary
Draco Malfoy is beginning to face up to the mess the War has left him in. Ron Weasley is an unexpected source of help.
“So, what. That’s it?” he said. “Poor Draco, all fucked up in the head, better not touch him in case he cries.”
“For fucks sake…”
“Because if you think waiting for me to get better is going to work...I mean.” He stood up, feeling anger blazing through him. “I’ve been like this all along, since we started. I just didn’t tell you. So what fucking difference does it make? You’re a mess too.”
Ron reached out and put a hand on his arm. “Different kind of mess.”Series

Summary
At the age of fourteen, Peter is told he must leave his home in Germany to take his place as the Crown Prince of Russia. His friend Brockdorff tries to ease his fears.
“Russia. The land where the soldiers hack at each other with curved swords. Where everything is frozen half the year, and the people starve. Or eat each other. There are probably hungry wolves at the Palace gates. And that language, like broken glass in my mouth…”
“I do not think that Russians eat each other,” says Brockdorff, wondering slightly about what has been happening in Peter's history lessons.
