Summary
“All I know is I want—” Remus shuts his mouth in a panic. Gulps. Dry mouth. Palpitations. Sweaty palms.
Sirius tilts his head. “What? What do you want?” Gray eyes. Collarbones. Body heat.
“Nothing,” Remus' eyes shift to Sirius’ lips and then quickly back to smoky eyes, “it doesn’t matter.”
“Remus,” Sirius drawls, exasperated. He steps forward and Remus steps back colliding into the wall behind him. Sirius is smirking up at him. And fuck Remus is staring at his lips again.

Summary
Benoit forces himself to look up at Jud from where he was attempting to decipher the Father's scribbled notes. Jud stands there, shaky hands hanging loosely at his sides, in his dark sweater and grey sweatpants that Benoit knows are only staying up due to the efforts of some tightly-drawn drawstrings. Hair dripping, cheeks rosy, eyes bloodshot, beautiful.
Road to fucking Damascus.

Summary
Her head jerked up, eyes narrowing, only to be met with a pair of the most startling sea green eyes she’d ever seen. The nose between them looked like it had been carved from marble, the lips beneath that were perfectly shaped, full. He was tanned, topped with a mop of wavy black hair, and he looked like a Greek god on earth; Annabeth would know. She was the resident expert on Greek gods. It only took a second for these thoughts to cross her mind before she realized he’d said something to her with a smile and she blinked, “What?”

Summary
Vox realizes at the most inopportune moment possible that he is still quite pathetically gone for Alastor, and thus saves his life—in exchange for a deal. Alastor, on the other hand, strives to be inopportune at all possible moments, and thus learns what he is willing to sell in exchange for his own life. After all, "love" can be interpreted in so many different ways.

Summary
In which Alastor realizes he committed a bit too hard to the whole found-family gag, gets fucked up by the First Douchebag, and tries to pretend everything is fine. Shockingly, Charlie is not oblivious. Even more shockingly, the person she goes to for help is Vox.
This turns out to be a case of using the wrong equation but still getting the correct answer.
(Also known as the one where Al & Vox used to bait angels, until they didn't.)

Summary
After his public defeat, humiliation, and collapse of everything he's every built, Vox is left unwanted by the general public and the demons he once called partners. With nowhere else to go, he finds himself at the doorstep of the Hazbin Hotel, fully prepared to mock it and leave the moment he regains his strength. He did not expect to want to stay, or for the Radio Demon to watch over him with soft but unsettling interest.
Or
A story about recovery from ruin, and the slow tangling of two very oppositional frequencies.

Summary
Alastor glimmered at the thought, it’s a shame Vincent would never reach his full potential. His wide, baby belle eyes still held a sheen of love in them. Vincent’s pride wouldn’t allow him to stop at power, to become God.
He’d want his wretched soul to be graced with the softness of love, and that would be his downfall.

Summary
"There’s silence for a moment, oppressive—Pentagram City never sleeps, not really: this is the silence of a dead thing. It weighs on Alastor, in a way that death, usually, does not. Vox’s body wheezes, squelches, crackles; his systems struggle to stay online as blood and coolant pour from the space where his torso ends, body blown to pieces by his own weapon. Funny, that his attempts to destroy Alastor destroyed him, instead. Perhaps it was always meant to end this way."
OR: Valentino's intervention comes a moment too late, and Pentagram City is destroyed. Two sinners remain in the aftermath.

Summary
"I can buy you the whole damn city, old sport; anything you can possibly dream of," Gatsby whispers feverishly into Nick's ear, pressing a kiss to the other man's temple. "The New Amsterdam Theatre, Central Park Zoo, even....hell, even Lady Liberty, baby."
Nick laughs and shakes his head, the liquor still warm in his throat and causing the world around him to spin too fast. If it weren't for Gatsby's arms around his waist, he'd surely be laying in a heap on the ground.
"You don't need to buy me anything, Jay," he insists softly, feeling as if he's said such a thing too many times to count now.
"But I could. I could buy-"
Nick shakes his head again, turning around in Gatsby's arms and silencing him with a a lopsided smile and a sloppy kiss.
"You could, yes, but you don't have to. In fact...in fact you could sell this grand palace of yours, Jay, and....and lose all of your damned money in the stock market, and I'd still want you."
Gatsby doesn't respond, looking torn between disbelief and tears.

Summary
“You don’t need to explain yourself,” Buck assured him, wishing more than ever that he could crawl out of his own skin. “I didn’t mean to push. I was just going along with the game—”
“No, it just wasn’t meant to be like this," Eddie groaned out finally. Buck sucked in a sharp breath, freezing in his step.
“Like this?” Buck repeated carefully as he tilted his head slightly. “What… what does that mean?”
-
Or, Buck and Eddie finally realize they can’t keep pretending during a game of True American.

Based on some of my favorite Nick and Jess moments in New Girl—specifically, the scene from 2x15: “Cooler”.

“Don’t say it like that!”
“Like what?”
“Like we’re best friends.”
“We are best friends, Buck,” Eddie huffs. There’s a little edge in his voice, like that’s a threat.
“Eddie, you ruined my life.”
Buck and Eddie handle Eddie's move to Texas as well as can be expected. That is to say, really fucking badly.

“I’m a lot,” Buck acknowledges, laughing awkwardly.
“I don’t ever want you to be anything less.”
Eddie says it like it’s the most simple thing in the world. Like it’s a fact. Buck is a lot, but Eddie doesn’t ever want him to be different. He doesn’t ever want him to change. The words stick to Buck’s sun-warmed skin and soothe some of the wounds that Tommy has inadvertently opened up.

All of them.

“Hey,” Buck whines, resting his head on Eddie’s shoulder. “We’ve got a kid at home, okay. I gotta watch my language.”
Eddie almost chokes on his own tongue. We’ve got a kid at home. Jesus fucking Christ. He’s going to order an Uber and then throw himself in front of it.

Summary
He’s so close. But Buck’s face sways even closer, eyes hyper-focused on Eddie’s mouth, like he wants to ensure that what he whispers next make its way inside:
“The quiet, closeted catastrophe of Edmundo Diaz—performed nightly for an audience of none.”
Eddie flinches. For a second, all the noise in his head goes silent.
“W-what—” Eddie’s voice cracks and he’s trying to frown, trying to be mad, but he feels exposed, so his words come out broken, confused. “What’s that supposed to mean?”or: buck fights back during the kitchen scene in 8x17 and it sends eddie spiralling
