    Summary

    The worker, whose name tag reads Megumi Fushiguro, blinks at the scene in front of him with bleary eyes, like he expects the whole thing to be an exhaustion-induced hallucination. When Yuuji, his rose, and the loud music from the JBL fail to disappear, Fushiguro leans out the window to check both sides of the road. Then he pulls back to stare at Yuuji again. “What the fuck,” he repeats.

    “Uh…” This was not the plan. The plan was for Yuuji to give the flower to whoever was at the window and pull off. He was not banking on the fact that KFC apparently hired supermodels. Or fallen angels. Fushiguro might be both.


    In which Yuuji loses a bet and ends up meeting the hottest guy he's ever seen in a KFC drive through

    Summary

    Harry and Draco are perfectly fine, separately minding their business in 2004, when the Unspeakables conscript them into service... in the First War against Voldemort.

    Come for mutual pining and forced proximity in a 1980 hotel room, stay for young Sirius and philosophising about immortality and wormholes. And an eighties cowboy soap opera.

    Summary

    The wind changes and blows the smell of death right into Trevor’s face. He suppresses a gag.

    “Something has happened with Alucard,” Sypha deduces, her hand still clasped over her nose.

    Trevor chances another look at the scantily-clad corpses fluttering about in the wind like a pair of scarecrows on Alucard’s doorstep.

    “...Dare I say you may be onto something, Sypha.”

    Summary

    Kaveh used to think that Alhaitham had mastered the art of ignoring him. The man would remain unflappable as he continued to read his worn copy of The Origins of Enkanomiyan Language, even when Kaveh was a hair’s breadth away from shattering the windows of their house with his severity of pitch.

    No amount of screaming, threats to throw things, or violently waving in front of him could get Alhaitham to pause in his thirst for knowledge. As it turns out, Alhaitham literally just turns his hearing aids off so he doesn’t have to listen to Kaveh.

    It’s for this exact reason that Kaveh has decided to learn Sumerian Sign Language.

    or,

    Kaveh learns sign language just to continue bickering with Alhaitham.

    Summary

    AU in which Yuuri still doesn’t remember the banquet, somehow doesn’t blow Japanese Nationals, runs into Victor at the World Championships, and has absolutely no idea why his idol is suddenly friendly and incredibly handsy.

    Does Yuuri care about his reasons? No. It’s Victor Effing Nikiforov.

    Basically this is an excuse for total fluff. And porn. And shit-talking with bonus smut. (Edited for accuracy.) Happy birthday, Victor.

    ~~

    Victor turned back to him, supernova smile in place once more. “I really, really like you. Promise you’ll still dance with me at the banquet if you take gold this time around.”

    Yuuri stared at the man. He looked at their entwined hands—he hadn’t wanted to pull away—and their thighs, pressed together despite there being plenty of room in the backseat of the cab. That scent of Victor’s cologne—just a dab, lightly applied somewhere on his neck—swirled around him. This was too real to be a dream, too physical for him to have imagined it.

    “I’m sorry,” Yuuri said slowly. “But…have we talked before?”
