Summary
“No, no, there’s no use in leaving if you’re already here,” Francis said, waving at the air as if batting my suggestion away. “I need a model anyway, and I could pay you whatever Julian’s carved up for the modeling department.”
"Alright,” I said, pulling out my own wallet. “Where do you want me?”
“Preferably naked on the white cloth.”
“Very funny.”
“Go get ready and let me ponder,” he answered. “I wasn’t expecting you to be here, after all.”--
Or, the Hampden students are art majors and Richard doesn't understand why Francis wants him as his muse. -

Summary
Wylan is a brilliant kid, but is he really so brilliant that he belongs at the University of Ketterdam? He had never thought so until now; in fact, it feels more like his father trying to get rid of him rather than accentuate his talents. Wylan is willing to do anything he can to get kicked out of school and ditch his strange Zemini roommate, but when he gets invited to participate in an elusive and dangerous club on campus... Well, how can he say no? With strange roommates like Jesper and even stranger classmates (just look at Kuwei Yul-Whatever and that odd Nina girl), it's obvious that something sinister is afoot. But that's not Wylan's job to handle... right?
This AU is loosely based off of The Secret History and other contemporary novels in the dark academia genre. Moderate depictions of gore, drug abuse, gaslighting, and violence will be important themes within this entire story. Discretion is advised.

Summary
Ever since Silena Beauregard was a child, she would have strange, almost prophetic-like dreams about a handsome, golden-haired prince from Phthia. But unlike every other demigod, her dreams aren't trying to warn her about imminent death; they're just dreams. If anything, their only use seems to be giving her poorly-timed deja vu. And they only continue to get worse the older she gets.
At age sixteen, Silena comes to a terrifying realization: her dreams are a double-edged sword, and they come with a cost she's not entirely sure she can afford. Will the visions of her golden-haired prince's death in the Trojan War save her or lead her to her own demise?Or: What if Silena was really just the reincarnation of Patroclus?
Author's note: Characters do NOT have book- or show-accurate physical descriptions. This is based off of how I imagined them looking when reading the series.

Summary
Kevin is so warm, and solid, and bright. He is Enjolras, Achilles; the blazing hero, self righteous and certain, and Aaron is just a lost companion stumbling in his wake, grateful to be in his presence.
When the fuck did he become a Kevin Day fanboy? Because fuck that.

Summary
The phone rang four times before I heard his voice, crackled and hazy by the distance.
“Hello?”
“Richard.”
“Francis?”
“Yes.” I gripped the receiver very tightly in one hand, my other wound through the cord. I could feel my knuckles pressing my skin green-ish white.
“Where are you calling from?” I imagined what he might be doing on the other side. It was earlier in California, about 8:30pm. He must have eaten already. Perhaps he was laboring over his dissertation, marking students’ papers with a red-inked pen, a furrow between his brows and a drink in his hand. Perhaps he had someone over, someone frowning in the corner of the room with arms crossed. I imagined fluorescent lights and rawboned palm trees through the window.
“A hotel,” I answered briskly, and without delay added: “It’s over. I’m leaving her.”--
Post epilogue, Francis decides he can't endure his marriage and, desperate to get out of New York, goes to stay with Richard in California. But he isn't telling Richard everything, and tensions are bound to rise.

It’s all too convenient.
Aaron is using Kevin to get over his breakup, and as a way to experiment a part of his sexuality he had repressed until then.

Summary
“That’s right!” Nicky says with false brightness and a snap of his fingers before Aaron can respond. “You still have a voucher for that Atlantic Beach hotel, don’t you?”
Aaron nods, not looking at him. “I do, and it expires next month.”
Oh. Aaron had saved up, booked a beach vacation as a surprise for Katelyn. Then, a month before their two year anniversary, she had broken up with him. Kevin didn’t realize the hotel had given him a voucher; he’d just assumed Aaron either hadn't gotten his money back or gotten a refund.
Andrew says, “You’re not going.”
Aaron says, “I am.”
Andrew opens his mouth and Kevin can’t take it anymore. “I can drive you,” he says, before Andrew says something he’ll regret.

Summary
It didn’t surprise Aaron; of course Kevin would be good enough to earn awards. Kevin seemed like he was the kind of person who’s good at everything. So all in all, Kevin soon had become not only the city’s but also Ireland’s darling: a young, extremely good-looking pub keeper, working hard to keep his mother’s legacy.
A one-shot of Aaron being the protagonist in one of this cliché "Ireland" romance novels except he's still Aaron and Kevin's still Kevin.
