Red and blue lights flashed through the windows and off the ceiling, and Mickey closed his eyes, drew in a slow breath through his nose and let it out. When he opened his eyes again, the lights were still there.

Summary
Lawrence usually forgot why he was mad by the time Owen was brave enough to talk to him again, whether it had been a few quick steps to knock on his door or a long-distance phone call. He'd never needed an excuse more complicated than "hi." Being an adult sort of sucked, sometimes.

Owning a cat is nothing like fugitive tracking and hostage negotiation.
Okay, it's very little like fugitive tracking and hostage negotiation.
"Now here is the part," Tim said, keeping his hands open, palms out at his sides, "where I say, 'I wouldn't do that if I were you,' and I really, really mean it.

people act like it’s so poignant/whatever that jasper de zoet gave up music after his bandmate died to go into psych but what nobody acknowledges is that man had PATIENTS. tragic gay yearning is not a victimless crime. there’s rpf about my psychologist and i have to live with it

Bookmarker's Notes
this sort of fanwork is such catnip for me, and I'm in awe of people who can weave it together.
I think it's the sort of thing you can enjoy without knowing the source text, but I'd love to hear more about it from people who do.

So very, very, very AU, fair bit of incongruously british language, and some bold choices on characterization and relationships, but an enjoyable read, and came together in a fun way to see who got cast where and how events were reshaped for modern urban USA instead of regency England. I absolutely respect the hustle, going for this as a concept and a puzzle and seeing it through to stick the landing.

Summary
“Seems like my liege was caught in a situation where he’d rather the ground swallow him whole.” Pez nods towards a spot to the side, and Alex follows his gaze. He spots Henry easily – a tall lighthouse of tousled blond hair – talking to a girl who is clearly into him. His expression looks perfectly polite, but he’s subtly leaning away, and he looks tense.
So, Alex makes an impulsive decision.
Whatever happens, this is going to be fun.
***
Or: Alex is so very definitely straight, so pretending to be Henry’s boyfriend to get him out of an awkward situation should just be a fun little pastime - except that he doesn't really want to stop, and he has no idea why. But maybe it's okay to not think too hard and let himself go with the flow, for once.

This is just. delightful, and clever and sweet for many, many words without ever feeling like you're treading water waiting for something to ~happen~ in the story. The journey is the destination, etc. So much wooing.

Holy shit this is so good. The survival/threat/mystery story is fantastic, and then the recovery and resolution is also *chef's kiss* in its own right
