Summary
Neal Caffrey does not know how to fish.
This would be fine, were it not for the fact that he may or may not have given Peter the impression that he does, and now Peter has decided that they're going on a weekend fishing trip together.
Neal very quickly realises that fishing is not the kind of activity he can improvise. He tries anyway. It...mostly works out in the end.

Summary
It's nearing the end of the autumn term at St Hilarion's, and Charlie Rowland is counting down the days until the summer, when he can be done with school for good. With three weeks back home looming, though, he's losing patience with his friends' idea of fun, and when they decide to sneak out after curfew one night, he doesn't go with them.
The day after, he wakes up from an awful dream of drowning with a coldness that he can't quite shake and an inexplicable sense that the world is a little dimmer than it used to be. And his friends seem to be holding a grudge against him, acting as if he's not even there.
Now, there's a boy who no one else can see and a girl who claims she can read minds trying to convince him that he knows them. The stories that they're telling him seem far too outlandish to be real. But when everything they tell him starts coming true, he has to wonder: what if they're right?

How Not To Bake A Cake With SecUnit and Perihelion by elusive_ellipsis
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
21 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
ART's new big idea for promoting construct rights in the Corporation Rim is a how-to video series, starring Murderbot. The first time it manages to get Murderbot in front of a camera, it's for a cooking tutorial - specifically, baking a cake. Both of them are perfectly capable of following instructions, so it should be a gentle introduction to filming a video together.
ART has never made a cake before. Murderbot has also never made a cake before. Neither of them can actually eat. However badly you think this is going to go, it will probably be worse.

A Promise to the World: To Be Better Today by elusive_ellipsis for The_IPRE
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)
01 Mar 2025

Summary
London, while a thriving metropolis packed with millions of people, was never quite as big as you needed it to be, and never small enough to get where you needed to be on time.
Crystal knew this, but it had never been demonstrated quite so plainly as when she had returned to London with her memories back, her mean girl tendencies curtailed, and had a great many people she wished to avoid. For a good few weeks, she had succeeded. She had almost begun to believe that she really would get the fresh start she'd been hoping for.
Then one of her old friends had died, and it had all fallen apart.

Summary
It's been a few months since Edwin told Charles that he was in love with him, and since returning to London, neither of them have brought it up again. Except now, Charles is reading romance novels tucked inside agency textbooks, and asking Edwin questions that he doesn't entirely know how to answer. What does it all mean - for Edwin, for Charles, and for their partnership?
A queerplatonic Payneland fic, written for Alexander_Writes as part of the DBDA Secret Pumpkin 2024 exchange!

Summary
It's 1989. Charles has just died, and he and Edwin are trying to figure out what to do with their afterlives.
Both of them have histories they're not yet willing - not yet able - to share. When they discover that ghosts can feel each other's touch, it's too soon, too much, and neither of them really want to think about what it might mean. They don't talk about it.
For Edwin, being free from feeling means being free from pain, after so long with so much of both. So what if he misses being able to touch, and be touched, sometimes? It's better to be safe than satisfied.
For Charles, it's just one less thing to worry about. He's still not quite convinced that he's not going to wake up in the basement any minute now, so he intends to make the most of his newfound freedom while it lasts. If it lasts. It's not like he's missing anything but that he barely had anyway.
a.k.a. Charles and Edwin are touch-starved and traumatised, and also do some detecting sometimes.

Summary
Aziraphale's last words to the one being he could ever say he loved were "I forgive you," but he knows that Crowley will never forgive him. Nina and Maggie try to convince him that he can make it up to the demon, but Aziraphale is only staying on Earth until he accepts that their relationship is truly over.
Crowley has left London with nothing but his car and his plants, and hopes never to return again. He knows now that Aziraphale does not love him the way he loves the angel, and so all that is left for him to do is try to build a life without him.
Both of them are struggling alone, wishing that their story, their centuries-long partnership, had not ended the way it did. Will they get a chance to write a different ending?
