Summary
Inej was always silent when she came in, but Kaz always seemed to just know she was there. Like he could sense her presence somehow. It unnerved her and made things easier for her all at once. It’s not like he usually greeted her properly when she came in, but if he was home, there was usually at least some kind of noise as evidence.
Maybe he wasn’t home. And she had just waltzed into his apartment uninvited for no reason. And yet.
And yet, the nagging in Inej’s gut wouldn’t go away, and so she pressed onward into the entryway. There was no harm in confirming that maybe nobody was there.
(or: Inej is worried about Kaz and does some slight breaking and entering about it.)

Summary
Jean thinks—not without bitterness—of the way children are sometimes scared to let their limbs hang off the bed for fear of the monsters underneath, and that Jeremy is not. And that Jean himself is not, either, because he has met monsters, and what could creatures that hide under beds do in comparison to what he had to endure from one who was out in the open?
(or: Jean has a nightmare and is known by Jeremy.)

Summary
“Hey Stiles.” Good start. It doesn’t sound like he’s dead, dying, maimed or running for his life. “Uh, I- we...could actually use your help.”
(...Or maybe he was being too optimistic).
(More cats died from wishful thinking than curiosity ever killed, he’s sure).
A part of his life will always and forever be tied to Beacon Hills; to the school and the preserve; the burned remains of the Hale house and the cold lit parking lot of the animal clinic. He’s tied there with spilled blood and stolen keys, lacrosse games and black eyes, his father’s badge in an ice bath and road flares in the rain.
He grew up though. Got in his mother’s Jeep and drove away like so many people told him to.
Sitting at his work desk in this cosy little apartment as the sun starts to dip outside and burn the walls in shades of gold...Stiles doesn’t want to be dragged back there.
And yet.
And yet.
(He does a little).Or: It's late in 2021 and Stiles hasn't been back to Beacon Hills since they chased Monroe out six years ago, but they knew she was still out in the world with an agenda, and it could finally be time to head back to see this through.

Summary
Theo says, voice like a glacier, "I'm warning you now, I'm not dying for you."
Liam fixes his gaze on him. Theo's eyes are doing something complicated, wavering between gray and green and blue. "I'm not dying for you, either."
That's not all. There's more left unspoken on the hill of Liam's tongue, something he sees in the blaze of Theo's look, too, as Theo runs his gaze down Liam's battered body and back up to his face. A silent agreement: but I will fight with you.
--
Or: The Hunger Games AU where the Games are always rigged for the hunters to slaughter the wolves, and Liam's only fighting chance at life may be faking a relationship with Hayden for the cameras--and relying on the loner chimera Theo Raeken who can't seem to stop saving his life in the arena.

Summary
“Oh. You’re referring to our bet.”
The childish, drunken, boastful bet that he could - and would - take anyone of any race to his bed. The bet he’s both consciously and unconsciously found himself working his way through over the long, lonely years since.
“As I recall from our last soirée, a Shadowhunter was the last on the list, no?” Her smile, her tone, her expression… they haven’t changed, but Magnus finds himself far less welcoming. “What did you say? ‘Over my dead body’?”
.
That's the thing they say about eavesdropping, right? You never hear anything good.

Summary
This is how every class goes—half-heartedly listen to Logan and take haphazard notes, scribble Parrish’s hands and neck and jaw and shoulders in the margins of his notebook, and stare at him the rest of the time.
He’s barely spoken to him. He doesn’t even know if he’s queer.
But that doesn’t stop Ronan from dreaming.

Summary
Helping Jean Moreau heal is a game where Jeremy Knox feels the stakes are too high to even consider the thought of losing. Jean’s first game as a Trojan against Edgar Allan feels like even higher stakes. Falling in love with Moreau - well, those are the highest stakes of all.
“You are his Achilles’ heel,” Laila whispers, in the dark, and her words bleed straight into the empty places in Jeremy’s heart.
