    Summary

    ‘Is she…other? Like us?’ His projection was clunky and slightly loud. He maintained a hard stare against the side of Charles’ head, like he didn’t truly think he could communicate like this. The fact that he was even attempting to in the first place sent an odd thrill through Charles — even if he could sense a healthy dose of hesitation.

    ‘Yes. You’re among friends here.’

    His expression cracked from the hard, solid mask he’d donned when he’d been fished out of the sea by the soldiers. “I’m Erik Lehnsherr,” he said as he extended one hand towards Raven. “And I believe your brother just saved my life.”
    ____

    A slight retelling of the events of X-Men: First Class where Charles is a bit less reserved about using his telepathy.

    Summary

    Amber had been working at Bistro Huddy for almost two years and had occasionally gotten flashes of a crush for the exec chef, but this time it was not going away.

    Joey had been working at Bistro Huddy for years and in that time had flings with several staff members, but had steered clear of those he should have. Unfortunately his long running crush on the petite hostess was getting a bit too strong.

    How will two co-workers handle all that heat in the kitchen.

    Characters belong to the wonderful Drew Talbert and Andrea Kelley. They both need some serious recognition from the academy.

    Summary

    Eddie never was a planner, but his new life necessitates having some idea of where he’s going, and when he’ll get there. He’d like to think that makes him more mature, but he’s still flying by the seat of his pants when it comes to the big picture. Getting his CDL was a way to escape Hawkins. To see the country, even if he’s mostly seeing long, lonely stretches of interstate in between depots.

    There are bright spots. Hazy desert sunrises that make him want to write a sad song, and the occasional free evening to take in a show, meet some locals. Follow a pretty girl to her apartment if she’ll have him.

    Most of the time, though, life comprises shitty diner burgers and far too little sleep. It's a lonely existence, but it suits him fine, until the night a strawberry-blonde ponytail at a gas station in Kentucky stops him in his tracks.

    Summary

    His father's death was supposed to be the end of it. When they buried him, Chris buried his pain for the last time; but that much pain never stays buried for long. Days later, his father's lawyer shows up at Chris's door bearing an inheritance settlement and a threat: sign over ownership of his dad's house to the Aryan Empire, or be prepared to defend it. As Chris struggles with what this inheritance might imply about his father's feelings for him, Harcourt adds more pressure by forcing him to see a psychologist. Could renovating his dad's house, going to therapy, and confronting his increasingly complicated feelings for Adrian somehow finally be enough for Chris to find peace?

    Includes descriptions of child abuse and mental health struggles such as dissociation, depression, anxiety and panic attacks, repressed memories etc. Explicit M/M sexual content in future chapters.

    tl;dr - Chris goes to therapy and falls in love with Adrian.
