Summary
Dean is fine. The way he sees it, things are simple. He had a house and a family and food in his stomach, and now he doesn't. And yeah, that's a downer, but he's not going to let that stop him from being fine, because he's in control of the situation. He definitely doesn't need anyone to save him. And it's not like the weird guy with the nice butt from down the road is the knight-in-shining-armor type, anyway.

Summary
The only reason Sasuke keeps coming back to Konoha is because of that mattress. The bed is his only respite. And perhaps the dumbass who owns said bed might be worth it, too.
Or, another canon divergence 699 that showers Sasuke with too much (deserved) love and attention that we all need for these unprecedented times.
Title means "Bonded Light". It'll make sense when you're about 100K in.

Summary
Andrew is looking to live his life in peaceful nothingness, but his new neighbor's cat won't stop sneaking onto his balcony. As much as he tries to not make it into something, Andrew finds himself drawn to the mysterious and tempting man next door.
Neil is just trying to find a reason to not leave Palmetto after everyone else has moved on. But he never thought he would want to run toward something in favor of running away.
(In a slightly different world, two people find themselves meeting in a softer setting and in just as much need of each other. A story about dealing with pasts, sharing secrets and a cat who is an asshole yet manages to charm everyone around it.)

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

Summary
He should’ve seen it coming, what happens then, because it’s been a long time that Cas has been saying these things, a long time that Dean’s watched him silently suffer but not speak up, and when Cas finally does say it—when he finally verbalizes what’s been implied for so long with a clench of his jaw and those eyes—those bright, bright eyes, Dean thinks—Dean feels his whole form shake, a shudder that goes through him that leaves his body chilled, that leaves his mind frozen (it scares him more than death).
“You think I deserve to die?” Cas says and Dean feels himself shatter.

Summary
Eddie knows he should refuse. He should walk away from this guy with wild hair and thick glasses that don’t obscure the way his eye squints when he grins. He should get a cab back to his hotel, text his fiancée back, take an aspirin, and go to sleep. Tomorrow, he’s flying back to New York. This was a mistake, a single deranged misfire of his usually iron self-control, and the last thing he should do is indulge it any further. He knows that.
*
Or: a week before he's supposed to get married, Eddie hooks up with a stranger in a bar, and it changes the trajectory of his life.

Summary
Shiro steadies him, hands at his waist. Keith slides his arms up around Shiro’s neck and hooks them there. A song is playing on the video screen as the end credits of the film roll. Keith can’t even remember how it ended.
“Dead on your feet there,” Shiro says.
One of Keith’s ears are pressed to Shiro’s chest. He can hear the steady rhythm of his heart. They’re swaying to it. Like a dance.

Summary
There were several things that Ignis had learned to look out for in the duration of their road trip—their journey. The kingʼs irritability, the passing of the seasons, that sense of restlessness coming from a long drive…
And tears.

Summary
“Whatever your idea, we cannot risk the Shield of the King catching a cold just because he decided now might be a good time to relive the past.”
“Ain’it?” Gladio laughs a bit, pocketing his hands as he shifts a little to turn towards Ignis. “Pretty sure we’ve been in similar situations before. You and I quarreling, the rain falling, and the umbrellas not quite enough—”
“Gladio, stop,” Ignis tells him. And he stops. His green eyes look directly into him, and he speaks only when he is sure that Gladio had seen every tension of a frown on his face. “We have talked about this before, and you agreed. We cannot be in the position for a relationship because of our—”
“Duty to Noct, I know,” Gladio finishes for him, oddly patient despite how frustrating Ignis can be with his favorite line. “I wasn’t suggesting we pick up right where we left off.”

Summary
It used to be easy back in the city.
Out in the country, however, finding relief is not so easily done, nevermind that days are long and tiring. Ignis is already at the point when he is lusting for the only man he can even tell his problem to, and he is loath to jump a friend out of sheer sexual frustration.
Unless said friend offers willingly, that is.

Summary
Derek has a new neighbor who won't stop looking.
Excerpt:
“You’re blind,” Derek said flatly, the anger draining from him so suddenly he felt almost woozy. His vision cleared, his claws sliding back into blunt fingernails.
“Thanks for the memo, genius,” the kid said acidly. “I can still fucking defend myself, so don’t take another damn step.”
“Fuck, I...I’m sorry,” Derek stuttered.
“What?!” The kid’s brow crinkled. “I mean — what?! You’re fucking sorry!?” His lips thinned into a harsh line. “What, is this some kinda Hallmark movie where you’re discovering the error of your ways because you don’t want to rob a blind person?! That’s fucking condescending, man. I’ll have you know that —”
“Just, wait.” Derek interrupted what was apparently the start of a convincing argument as to why he should rob the kid after all, feeling his head start to spin. “This is — it’s a misunderstanding. I’m — I’m not robbing you. You’re — you’re safe, okay? I’m taking three steps back. Just — just let me explain.”
“Explain why you came busting into my apartment? Yeah, go right ahead, man, I can’t wait to hear this epic tale.”
