Summary
"He knew he hadn’t made a mistake. He’d treated cellulite like anyone would have, and he knew that Robby knew that. But the fact that Robby wanted to pretend, wanted him to doubt – the fact that this Robby barely even resembled the man he’d come to know during his residency – was painful, frightening, and made his eyes burn and his lungs work overtime."
Frank isn't okay. But maybe he will be.

Summary
He can’t sleep. It’s not for lack of trying. Weighed blankets, hot showers, meditation, even a silly self-help book from the university’s library. He’s tried them all, and still sleep remains elusive. Every night he spends staring at his ceiling, tensing at every shifting shadow, every quiet sound caused by the summer breeze knocking against his window. He knows where he is, most of the time. It’s the single seconds he doesn’t that rob him of his night’s rest.
Stephen doesn't deal well after Sil. Dan helps.

Summary
"Dazed, Otto gazed up at the brown-haired figure standing in front of him, up to his middle in the water, looking as disheveled as he felt. A boy, really. Spider-Man. There had been three, before. One of them had even fixed his chip. He must have seen this man before. And yet, for the life of him, he couldn’t remember. Not his name, not his face. Just a churning sense of wrongness in his gut."
As Otto returns to his own time and place, he is confronted with a stranger's face and a difficult decision to make.

Heated Chivalry by hotlesbiangf

Summary
Famously cold A-lister Aerion Targaryen and his younger brother's friend, newcomer Duncan Tall, are cast as lovers in HBO's upcoming LGBTQ+ series Heated Chivalry.
The show follows the cruel Prince Robert (Aerion) and Ser Wymon (Dunk), a hedge knight forced to become the prince's personal guard after an altercation. Forced to spend every waking moment together, they go from enemies to reluctant allies to something more.
Paparazzi photos and fan accounts explode with speculation. Their PR managers see an opportunity: a fake dating arrangement would promote the show, boost Dunk's career, and finally silence the years of rumors about Aerion's sexuality.
So they make a deal: fake date until the season finishes airing.
Except somewhere between the staged dates and the twelve-hour days filming love scenes, the lines blur.
⚹ ♛ ⚹ ♜ ⚹ ♛ ⚹ ♜ ⚹ ♛ ⚹ ♜ ⚹ ♛ ⚹ ♜ ⚹ ♛ ⚹
Or: Aerion and Dunk have to pretend to slowly fall in love on-screen, which then coincidentally moves off-screen as they start fake dating to promote the show and boost their image. Too bad it’s all fake, right?
(Hint: it’s not)

Summary
“Can I help? Please, I want— Let me help.”
It’s all too much, but his last three words prove to be Robby’s tipping point, pushing him finally and fully over the edge.
Desperate, jerky, he nods against Jack’s shoulder. He just barely manages to choke out, “Please,” and, “I’m so sorry,” before Jack shushes him.
“Don’t be sorry,” Jack says on repeat. “Don’t you be sorry, it’s okay. It’s all going to be okay, I got you, brother, alright? Neither of us is going anywhere without each other, I can promise you that.”
or: robby contemplates taking his own life after his last shift before his sabbatical. jack sees right through him.

Summary
Aemond touched the call button on his phone as he hastily walked to his car, opening the door and getting inside. The phone rang for a few seconds with a photo of his brother flashing on the screen under the word calling, and as Aemond started the car and pulled out of the driveway, the other side picked up.
"What?" Aegon's drunken voice filled the space of his car, the deafening beat of electronic music and people yelling rocking the background. He was, unsurprisingly, in a club again, and probably consumed more alcohol in the last hour than Aemond in the last year. Just the thought of it made Aemond roll his eye in annoyance.
"Where the hell are you?" He grumbled into the phone. "Just read out loud the address."
"What? Why?" Aegon mumbled. "So you could come and drag me home? Yell at me for getting drunk?"Bookmarked by becauseitwasreal

Summary
The rest of the room falls away as Luke realises this is the first time since that horrible incident on Driftmark the two of them have been alone together. There’s no one to intervene, not Mother or the Queen, not Daemon or that asshole Cole.
It’s just them. Just them and years of vitriol. Two young boys with years of sinister history culminating in this one decisive moment… and Luke doesn’t see any other option but to take a deep steadying breath before picking up the dagger.
“You’re right,” he says, his voice hardly wavering, and it’s deeply satisfying to see the way Aemond’s gleeful expression crumbles into a frown. “An eye for an eye, as your mother demanded.”
Or, what if Luke had agreed to put out his eye... only for Aemond to stop him.
