    Summary

    Baz Pitch is an overworked uni student who -- between his heavy course load and his shifts at his aunt's bookstore -- is stressed all the time. There are expectations on him to follow the family footsteps, and he doesn't want to deal with that right now. His aunt Fiona's bookstore is his one oasis in this (except for on poetry slam nights) and he's glad to have her -- even if she does come with her own brand of crazy.

    But when Simon Snow, a lit student with a short temper who's trying to distance himself from his bad history, starts working at the bookstore, Baz's life gets infinitely more stressful. Amidst bad poetry slams, author signings, getting locked in storerooms and gaining a (unwanted) roommate, Baz comes to realise that Simon Snow is so much more than he's prepared to take on.

    Summary

    ** Set in the 'Take On Me' universe ** If you have not read that fic, this will not make sense **

    --

    How I react in the next few minutes is crucial. This is one of those big Relationship Tests. And thus far I haven’t been very good at passing those.

    “I’m going to call for tikka masala,” I say slowly, and Simon blinks up at me. “And then we’re going to plan a murder.”

    Summary

    When Eddie lets Dustin convince him to volunteer at the kids’ summer camp for a little extra campaign time thrown in the mix, the last thing he expects is to be shacked up in a counselor’s cabin with resident cool guy and babysitter extraordinare Steve Harrington — who Eddie is pretty sure hates his guts.

    It’s too bad Eddie’s been nursing a massive — and massively embarrassing — crush on him for years.
