    Summary

    “She truly is your daughter, Alex,” Henry sighs, defeated.

    “Fuck off, sweetheart,” he laughs, a soundbite of the sun. Henry forces himself not to physically react, the term of endearment sweet and menacingly familiar coming from Alex’s lips. It’s been years. “You know they’re useful.”

    “Ah yes, eyelashes, truly a formidable instrument in managing international relations.”

    Alex grins, and Henry is too late to catch the slightest downward lilt on the corner of his mouth, “Worked on you once, didn’t it?”

    Oh, did that ache.

     

    (Much had happened since the time Henry had told Alex to leave. Alex had passed the bar, gotten married, had the most beautiful daughter. And Henry, well. He stayed right where he was.)

    Summary

    Three weeks. Henry’s known the guy three fucking weeks and now they’re getting married? And Alex is… what? Supposed to be happy for him? Play the supportive best friend like this isn’t the craziest thing he’s ever known Henry to do in almost seven years of friendship? He can’t do that. The swirling nausea in his gut because the man he’s in love with is engaged aside, it’s just – you don’t even know someone after three weeks. How did this guy charm Henry into marriage in less than a month?

    Alex isn’t even mad. He just can’t understand.

    --

    For almost ten years, since they shared a dorm room at NYU, Alex and Henry have been inseparable.

    For almost ten years, Alex has been in love with Henry.

    Seven years into their friendship, Henry throws himself into a new relationship headlong, and Alex is at a loss when he drops the news that they're engaged.

    With less than a month til Henry says his vows, Alex is running out of time.

    Summary

    There was a giggle. But it was not from Katara. Or even Aang.

    Sokka’s head snapped over to Zuko, who looked just as shocked as Sokka felt. His cheeks were cherry-red and he had a hand clapped over his mouth. “Did you just laugh?” Sokka asked. Just to make sure his ears still worked.

    Zuko spluttered, his cheeks darkening. “What—no! Why would I ever—I mean, what is laughing?” And then, “Your jokes suck anyway!”

    OR

    Sokka accidentally makes Zuko laugh during one of their fights. He takes it upon himself to continue making Zuko laugh in their future encounters, just as a "distraction tactic."

    Summary

    Stiles signs up for the TV show Survivor with the goal of winning the million dollar prize to pay for his dad's piling-up medical bills. He gets more than he bargained for as he navigates the politics of the game.

    /

    There were some decisions in Stiles’ life that he couldn’t help but look back on and think: ‘hey, in hindsight, maybe I shouldn’t have done that’.

    One such decision was putting his name in the draw for Survivor.

    In his head, he’d imagined the only people that tried out to be on the show would be the nerdy super-fans, some young risk-takers and maybe a few people past their prime who were looking for a new, exciting challenge in life.

    Stiles was so, so wrong, because of the twenty people all milling around awkwardly on the boat currently, he was clearly the weakest link. He felt like a prepubescent kid amongst a horde of Adonis’s and amazons. Pretty much everybody had killer abs that they probably worked on specifically for the sake of the show. It was a massive oversight on Stiles’ behalf, because now the nation had the displeasure of watching his skinny little white body standing out amongst the tan models and body-builders that were going to whoop his ass in the challenges.

    Summary

    Stiles had been like any other kid growing up in the era of dragons. He'd watched the cartoons, the news stories, had the lunch box. When his screening at Beacon Hills High had come up negative, he'd been disappointed but unsurprised. His positive results were returned three years too late for it to be in any way convenient or cool.

    Or, the one where they ride dragons.
