Summary
Adopting a secret cat in a no-pets-allowed apartment building is one thing. Kissing the new property manager after he discovers your secret cat is another.
Learning the property manager thought he was straight until you kissed him and accidentally sent him into a tailspin—well, it's a weird twenty-four hours for Ed Teach.
So: friends. Friends, he can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins.
Sometimes the journey is the most important part.

Summary
When Remus was seven years old, a mysterious man came through a blocked out window in his home. He said he was from the future, and that there was a rift in space-time linking their timelines and putting them both in danger.
Now grown, Remus is sure he must've made up the whole thing – but did he?
Or: The premise of The Girl In The Fireplace (Doctor Who S02E04), but make it Wolfstar.

“Sirius, it’s me. I’m Remus.”
It comes out low, almost apologetic, though he can’t explain why. What can he possibly be sorry for – growing up? Sorry because he’s not seven anymore? Sirius is the one who should be sorry for– for– for not being here. For making a promise and then breaking it.
Sirius’ confused stare only deepens. “What–? No, you can’t be. Remus is a kid–”
Remus narrows his eyes. Heat is rushing up his face, making his throat tighten up. It’s like all the anger and the frustration and the disappointment of waiting all those years – of thinking he was imagining things – finally catches up to him.
He forces the words out, and they sound hurt and broken:
“Why did you take so long?”

Summary
Ed's minding his business when the new neighbor's kid comes around holding a human puppet. It's creepy as hell, but as soon as the kid's father rounds the corner, Ed doesn't mind.
ETA: Podfic available here from Kninjaknitter my darling dearest
“Hello,” says the strangest voice Ed’s ever heard, jolting him out of his reverie, sending his heart speeding into chaos.He opens his eyes and he’s staring straight at a stuffed animal in the shape of a human person. It is bald with a tiny hat and too-big eyes and it wears a blue shirt and a name tag that says Jeffy in the sort of scrawl normally reserved for words written in blood.
A puppet, he realizes several seconds beyond when it would have been appropriate to respond.

Summary
When Stede meets a startlingly well-dressed man at an otherwise rather tacky Sexy Santa Night at the bar, he quickly develops one objective: hold this man's attention by any means necessary. Even if it means pretending to be terrible at pool.
Despite Stede's ruse, Ed might just see him more clearly than anyone ever has before. And Stede might be getting some life-changing Christmas wishes granted tonight that he didn't even know he had.

Summary
The day they get married, the things he knows about Stede could fit on a post-it note.
First: he’s fucking rich.
Second: he needs a husband to stay that way.
Third: he is built like a brick shithouse. Pretty eyes, nice hair. Penchant for weird socks.
(Or: 5 times Ed doesn't tell his husband he loves him, and 1 time he does.)

A Modern AU Marauders texting with prose fic set at University.
Mainly Wolfstar - Will they? Won’t they? (They obviously will...)
And a little bit of Jily too.This is my first multi-chaptered fic, so any feedback, good or bad or any tags you think need to added then please do let me know!
Rated E for explicit sexual content, but these chapters are all marked in the notes and easy to skip without interrupting the plot 😊
EDIT: As of 28/07/21 I’m going through and adding bits/taking bits out so it flows better with the other parts in the series - let me know if you spot any plot holes that need sorting!

"Where did you get that?" Arthur asked, but he already knew the answer.
"Gwen."
"...and the horse?"
"Gwen."
"What about the-"
"Gwen." Merlin interrupted. Arthur nodded. At this point, he wasn't sure why he even bothered to ask. He was pretty certain his wife was going to knight Merlin any day now. He looked Merlin up and down for a few moments before accepting it all with a sigh.
"As long as you get my armor to me tomorrow...I don't care." He finally said, turning away. Merlin cleared his throat.
"Gwen gave me tomorrow off."
"For the love of God."
Or
I hate that Gwen and Merlin's friendship kind of withered away in the later seasons so here's a oneshot about her and Merlin abusing her new royal powers because that's what happens when your best friend becomes queen.

Summary
Arthur could see his father glaring down - face red and eyes narrowed as he looked at Merlin with clear distaste.
"Once this over, sorcerer...I’ll burn you."
"You’ve already tried that," Merlin’s voice answered and Arthur had to bite his fist to keep from making any noise. “You need to accept you can’t kill me… Hand me that blanket, please.”
“I’m sure there must be some method… Beheading?”
“No, we tried that.”
“Hanging?”
“I just sort of... Swung there, remember?”
There was another pause.
“I should have made you keep that dragon below the castle so I could feed you to it.”
“Kilgharrah? He won’t eat me, but if you want to torture me than making me listen to his nonsense for an hour might do it.” Merlin said and there was a soft sigh from the other end of the room. “I’m glad you agreed to help me though. Usually I have to do the grunt work of saving Arthur myself.”
“I can’t wait to kill you.”
Or
Uther finds out about Merlin’s magic, but can’t seem to kill him. Merlin is just trying to protect Arthur. They become a begrudgingly effective duo. Arthur doesn't understand why they think he isn't noticing this.

Summary
"His heart seized within him as he registered the professor's instructions. Remus didn't have to smell a potion to know what attracted him. He didn't need to do anything other than simply look up to know who had his heart for years. But that didn't mean he needed his mates to know as well. Especially when it was one of them who was the culprit."

Berlin is absolutely miserable in February. Or it’s just Sirius.
Alternatively: A story of how Remus Lupin stepped into Sirius’ life, flashed his trademark grin, and reminded him that life is a beautiful thing meant to be enjoyed. No risk, no fun!

Summary
Remus is difficult - he knows that. He can't hold down a job, he doesn't like to let people get close, and he really sucks at living up to the person he'd hoped to be as a kid. When he's offered a job to smile for the camera and pretend to be in love, he thinks it might be the best thing he ever could've hoped for.
Except, he's working with Sirius Black. The icon of modern rock who is actually just a moody, unpredictable, hot mess. A really hot mess.
