    Summary

    In an effort to distract from a major scandal, the palace comes up with a better story: Reformed heir to the throne, Prince Anthony, settles down with hotshot lawyer Kate Sharma.

    For Kate, what starts as a favor to a friend spirals into a media frenzy that's even more tumultuous from the inside.

    or: the fake relationship/royal au. (feat. a meddlesome gossip twitter account, a vacation to Spain, and Bridgerton antics.)

    Summary

    It’s stupid, but when you’re in love with someone and you think they won’t ever feel the same way, you kinda settle for whatever small piece of them you can get.

    (or… electric touch by taylor swift was playing and that is pretty much taylor & steven’s song so.)

    Summary

    'The huge oak at the end of the street is gone when she finally turns onto the cul de sac where she grew up. She knew it would be. It came down in a storm about a month ago and it had been the major topic of discussion when her mother had called. 

    It had been reassuring, in a way. She could relax in the knowledge that the most exciting thing happening in Hawkins was the tree at the end of the street managing to fall in the exact right direction so that it didn’t take down any houses with it and how long it was taking to pick up the pieces. That was until her mother had somehow managed to segue from ‘they’re still cleaning up down at Millers' into ‘your father isn’t doing well and I think you should come home.’

    --

    Five years later, Nancy comes back.

    Summary

    It has become a habit, she realizes. To climb into Ben’s bed, to see him.

    It started in grade school, the week she stayed over at his house and was tormented with nightmare after nightmare after nightmare.

    And now, eight years later and three thousand miles away from home, she still seeks him out, still looks for him in the darkness. Even if it only requires slipping out of her bed and crawling into his, next door.

    She seeks warmth, seeks something to fill the aching loneliness that festers in her heart, late at night, like an open wound. It has become a habit, an instinct, really, to seek him out.

    Devi expects this to become a lot more complicated than it does.

     

    or; five times devi falls asleep in ben’s bed, and the one time he falls asleep in hers

    Summary

    "I totally buzzed in first.”

    “Are you saying that Liz is making a poor decision as our captain?” Peter raises his eyebrows and smirks at her, cocky grin painted on his stupid face that Michelle can never get out of her head.

    She rolls her eyes and eventually gives up. “Stop kissing ass, Parker.”

    Peter and Michelle have an Academic Decathlon rivalry, and the entire team is tired of their shit.
