Summary
His alarm goes off while it’s still dark. Spencer only flicks on enough lights to see, not to be comfortable. He doesn’t want to have the opportunity to look at himself, to find something to hate. In his head he repeats last night's poem, because if he hears others’ words he can’t hear his own.
And then, in the morning, crowds surrounded / Herot, warriors coming to that hall / From faraway lands, princes and leaders / Of men hurrying to behold the monster’s / Great staggering tracks…
Spencer on how everyone sees him, and Hotch on how he's wrong.

Summary
“How about a bet?”
Keith paused.
“If I can make you fall in love with the holidays by Christmas night, you’ll take the shift.”
Keith snorted, turning to face Lance. He kept that vaguely annoyed smile on his face, but nothing could hide the gleam of interest in his eyes.
“You’re not going to make that happen.”
“Okay,” Lance shrugged. “Then what’s the harm of taking the bet?”
Keith’s eyes rose to the ceiling, thinking.
“And,” Lance rushed in, “and I’ll sweeten the deal. I’ll work New Years as well.”
Now that got Keith’s attention.
They had drawn straws for who would work New Years Day weeks ago. It was one of the worst shifts for a toy store. Being deathly hungover while listening to kids scream and toys screech was the stuff of nightmares. Keith had lost and was stuck with the shift.
A slow grin tugged at Keith’s lips. “You’re insane.”***
When Lance gets stuck with the Christmas shift, he immediately turns to Keith, a self-proclaimed Scrooge, to cover the shift. When Keith refuses, Lance offers up a bet. If he can make Keith fall in love with the holidays before Christmas, Keith will take the shift. Nonsense straight from a Hallmark movie follows.

Summary
"Lance had watched Keith Kogane win a bar fight with a broken hand, rip open a keg with a knife, and complete a whole wretched ensemble of activities you definitely shouldn’t do with a beer in hand.
And yet here he was, glittery Sharpie in hand, waiting to sign Lucy’s copy of Altea.
Lance opened his mouth to say something arguably rude and not appropriate for their current audience. Until he remembered that he himself had either watched or participated in these activities and was now holding a four-year-old containing his DNA. So Lance didn’t have much of a leg to stand on either."
When Lance runs into his ex-boyfriend at a children’s book signing, he not only finds out that Keith Kogane ages like fine wine, but he also apparently wrote his daughter’s favorite book. As Keith lingers in town, Lance frantically tries to keep his daughter from realizing that the writer is not only a person from Lance’s past, but a character in her bedtime stories as well.

Summary
"I find myself wondering, sweet reader, when exactly someone will take a shovel to the back of this racist statue's metal head and begin dismantling our university’s scandalous love affair with the most problematic donors they could possibly find. I’m looking at you, President Zarkon, kindly remove your hand from the Republican Party’s dick. This is a liberal arts college for God’s sake."
When Galra University's Tumblr page, meant for football game updates and pleads for attendees for club meetings, is plagued by a mysterious writer determined to eviscerate every toxic part of the college, Lance is intrigued. When he becomes a leading character in the anonymous letters, well, he gets a little more curious. Lance becomes determined to unveil the writer and find out a) what is his problem exactly and b) does he really think Lance's eyes are that blue?
A tale in which Lance is oblivious and pining for the hot nerd in the back of his Greek mythology class, Keith can wield a pen with deadly cruelty, and you, dear readers, suffer from the pains of dramatic irony.

Summary
“Wait, wait,” Lance stood up. “You are driving to Houston.”
“Yes.”
“A drive that’s over thirty hours.”
“Yup.”
“By yourself.”
“Sure seems like it.”
“To clean out a storage container of your dead mother, that you have never met, that is now legally under your name.”
“Correct.”
Lance wondered if Keith had lost his mind.
“Keith, there could be dead bodies in that storage container!” He argued. “Or a meth lab. Or worse, mannequins dressed up like dolls sat at a tea party or some weird shit like that.”
Keith offered him an unimpressed blink. “I’ll be fine.”
“Keith, this is insane. You can’t go by yourself!”
Keith glanced at him as he shouldered his backpack.
“Come with me then.”
And that small, damned smirk tilted Keith’s lips as he held Lance’s gaze.
“What do you think, Lance?” He asked. “2,251 miles. Think you could handle it?”
Lance stopped short.
Contemplated.
And, well. Lance had nothing to do either.
So. That’s how this all started.Two disasters drive cross-country to clean out a storage container that may have dead bodies hidden inside and, hey, maybe a bit of love as well.

Summary
“Let me guess. Body horror.”
There was a delicate eyebrow raise. “Impressive guess.”
Lance offered a halfhearted wave to Keith’s SAW T-shirt. “I’m sure you sit in your cave and drink blood and think of all the ways a human body can break in half.”
That earned him a smile with teeth. And yeah, sure, Lance could see what James found attractive. If he squinted. Chugged more wine.
“And I’m sure you spend your time thinking of the least outrageous age gap you can have between your love interests.”
Lance’s eyes narrowed.***
If you were to consider some towns sleepy, then Luna Falls spends most of the time snoring. The only time Luna Falls wakes up is while it hosts its annual writer retreat. Aspiring authors from all over the United States travel to New England for the three week seminar, gunning for a publication deal awarded to one lucky writer. Lance, a Luna Falls local, has spent his entire life preparing, saving, and writing. He joins the fellowship of writers in hopes to not only leave with publication prospects, but to also show the power of the commonly underrated romance genre. Imagine his displeasure when a brooding horror writer steals the spotlight right out from under him.

Summary
They say everyone is made of stardust. Keith wonders if that's where his magic originates from.
Falling into a new lifestyle isn't easy, especially when dealing with his brother, a lot of misunderstandings, and almost killing everyone at his new job. But hey, with the help of his new co-workers/maybe-friends things can't be that bad, right?
(The answer, it turns out, is more complicated than he thinks).

A story of how Keith finds his voice again.

Summary
It wouldn't be the first time the inevitability of things hurt someone Sherlock cared about.
It wouldn't be the last time he wasn't able to stop it - to predict what would happen, let his mind piece together a crime scene before it turned more deadly than it already was.
If not every time, if only this one instance - he, at least, should have been able to stop Watson from opening that door.

Summary
He'd taken it too far, with Slaney. Hadn't he?
He didn't regret it. He'd shot his best friend, he'd shot John. Out of all people... He tried to kill John.
He deserved what he got, and more.But when he'd looked at John, right after... Had there been something in his face? Something primal, animalistic, dangerous, horrible, that made his best friend's face go from exhaustion and concern to fear. Because it had been fear.
Widened eyes, inner corners of the eyebrows raised, lips slightly parted, trembling...
It had been fear.--
Set after the events of The Dancing Men. Sherlock thinks John is afraid of him. John thinks Sherlock needs his space. Not a great combo. -

Summary
“I know how to fight,” John insists, petulantly.
Sherlock scoffs. “You couldn’t put that poor technician out of his misery after you broke his bloody nose.”
“That was one time. I was trying to knock him out like – you know, how they do in the movies.”
John is standing in front of Sherlock’s chair.
Which, in fact, Sherlock is sitting in, a spool of boxing tape in one hand. He takes one of John’s hands into his own, turns it over, catalogs the roughness of his palms and the calluses and scars that trail up his fingers. Then, carefully, he begins to wrap them away, spinning the tape around and between them.
They will, after all, be boxing.

Summary
Reza had mixed feelings about this semester. On one hand, she had a class with Professor Jayce Talis, who had glowing Rate My Professor reviews and had apparently been ranked number one for "Professor I'd Like to Fuck" for years. On the other hand, she had to take a class with Professor Viktor Sokolov, whose reviews were...less than ideal.
Jayce wants to talk about his mysterious partner. Viktor just wants to teach. Reza wants to get through this semester with her grades intact, and Naph just wants to spend time with his favorite professor.

Things you should do to achieve a dream:
1. be kind (offer a dense looking surgeon you’ve met three and a half minutes ago to take him for a ride around the city)
2. take risks (fix a mistake in the blueprints of Heimerdinger's TA, because he's not around to stop you)
3. be persistent (drive the sleep deprived idiot home after he almost falls asleep on a sidewalk)Things you shouldn’t do to achieve a dream:
1. helplessly fall for your lab partner
2. follow the stupid rulesBookmarked by deleterious_effects

Summary
Some people are marked for greatness. Whether they're ready for it is another thing altogether.
Jayce isn't cut out for greatness. He's just an engineering student with too much pressure and not enough sleep. When his latest invention goes horribly wrong at a very public science fair, all he wants to do is throw himself off the observatory roof. Instead, he finds an irresistibly snarky lab assistant who understands him better than he ever could have imagined.
Viktor isn't cut out for greatness. He's just a frustrated astronomy student whose body lets him down almost as much as his peers. All he wants is some peace and quiet. Instead, he gets a clumsy golden boy with an idea almost as compelling as him.
It looks like greatness is a two-man job.

Summary
Ever so carefully- as if his hair were made of glass instead of silk and daydreams- Viktor reaches his hand out, his fingers stretching toward Jayce’s hair. He wavers for a moment, hesitating only a second- what if Jayce pulls away? What if he is misreading this whole scenario? What if he crosses a line that cannot be uncrossed-
He is laying with his head in your lap, Viktor chides himself. If anyone crossed a line, it was him. This is merely retaliation- the consequences of his actions. Something Jayce needs exposure to anyway.
And with that, Viktor slips his fingers into Jayce’s hair.
or: jayce has a thing for laying his head in peoples laps. and having his hair pet
