    Summary

    "Leo!? Leo!"

    Mikey was screaming, and he flinched at how scared his little brother sounded. The innate need to comfort him kicked in, and Leo stepped forward, holding out his arms to him invitingly, smiling to let him know everything was alright.

    “Hey, Mikey, what’s wrong-”

    Mikey didn’t open his arms to hug him back.

    Mikey ran through him.

    Leo is cursed by a mystic whatever thingy. But don't worry guys, he's totally got this! Getting back into his body? Easy peasy.

    (He hopes it will be easy peasy.)

    Summary

    And Octavius's got that distant look in his eyes. Jedediah remembers - it's the same look he had when they'd stumbled, one foot in front of the other, leaning on each other as they fought their way back to the museum after crashing into snow taller than themselves; the same look when Jedediah had tumbled out of the hourglass, seconds away from death, and then again when he'd enveloped Octavius in a bone-crushing hug, too giddy from their victory to really process the bursting ache in his heart; and then, when they'd said their final goodbyes, quiet words and half-hidden feelings even while alone in a museum so accustomed to life.
    And damn him, because when Jedediah thinks about it like that, he must be crazier than a bessie bug to have not realized it earlier.

    or: in which Jedediah gets darted - and it turns out to be quite the enlightening experience.

    Summary

    “But don’t you want to marry me?” he asked, enough of a lilt in his voice that he could beg off as teasing need be.

    Penelope was too sharp to be fooled by his tone. “I believe it’s my father you’ll be needing to speak with about that.”

    Or: Penelope is used to being outshone by her cousin Helen, and even Clytemnestra. Odysseus is used to having things go his way, through luck or cunning. They never realized that meeting each other would undo all of that, and themselves.

    Summary

    "Do you know what it is?”
    That’s when Jed feels it – the pull. He knows that feeling well. It’s the desire to go out into the world and sate the curiosity that’s burning a cigarette hole in his stomach. It’s the duty to come back and tell people what he's seen.
    Also, if he listens over the sounds of the people in the town, he can hear muffled voices from beyond the cliffs. This new world might not be one he’s ever seen before, but he’s still an explorer.
    “No, I don’t,” he says. “But I think I’m gonna go find out.”


    A story about two men, second chances, and destiny - or, a mostly-pre-canon soulmate AU, featuring matching scars and a healthy dose of gay pining.

    Summary

    Crowley didn't look up immediately when he heard the shop door open; he was just in the middle of finishing off a complicated bouquet, and the blasted ribbon was being difficult about things.

    "Just a sec," he said, scowling as the end slipped away from him again.

    There was a pause. And then a voice, softly, "There you are."

    An unusual customer walks into Anthony Crowley's flower shop with a very specific request. AU, series, complete, angst with a happy ending.

    (Series Summary: For three centuries, Crowley has been reincarnated over and over as a human with no memory of his past. Aziraphale has tried to find a way to restore him to his true self, but all he seems to do is hurt them both. This time, he only means to steal a brief moment when he walks into Crowley's flower shop. But Crowley can't let it go...)
