Summary
Grantaire wasn't even supposed to be a Ranger.
"I'll do it," he said.
Éponine stood up. Grantaire tapped his cigarette on his windowsill, watching the ashes fall and disappear into the sea of neon. He expected Éponine to leave, but she didn't. Just kept looking at him.
"I'm not joking," he said, still looking outside. "I will. It's actually a great idea. Best I ever had, probably."
Éponine sat back down. "Grantaire," she said, her voice shaking. "How can you say that?"
"No, think about it. No one knows the repercussions better than we do. No one knows the risks. I'd argue that it's ethically unsound to have anyone but one of us take that kind of risk."

The first time he saw Harold Wren was in the school library. He walked with a slight limp—car accident, the rumours said—and looked at you with tired eyes that seemed to see everything and look right through you at the same time.

Summary
“What, I can’t be friends with an ex? You’re friends with Marius.”
“Yeah, well I’m not still in love with Marius. And more importantly, Marius is also not still in love with me!”
Grantaire scoffs. “He was never in love with me, Ep. C’mon.”
Grantaire had already tried romancing the sun, and they crashed and burned. It'd never work out again, but Grantaire can't help himself from orbiting closer. (It does work out again)

Summary
Abruptly, the guy halted in his steps and turned to look back at him. "What are you doing?" he asked, his voice taking on an annoyed tone. "Follow me."
"What? Where?" he asked, voice tinged with disbelief. "I don't even—"
"Now," the guy barked out, and Xiang Fei could do nothing but yelp and follow after him, thoroughly confused by the way the afternoon was going on. What the hell?
Xiang Fei gets roped into spending the holidays at a ski resort with the Shens and gets bullied by a mysterious—but very hot—ski instructor, in that order.
Well. It could be worse.

Summary
It is days like today when Merlin realizes how very grateful he is to be best friends and flatmates with the very wealthy and very generous Arthur Pendragon, even if it makes him feel literally insane most of the time. Even if the writer’s block is sort of Arthur’s fault in the first place because Merlin finds it increasingly demotivating and depressing to try to write emotionally satisfying gay romance novels when he suffers the misfortune of living in a rather emotionally unsatisfying one, with endlessly building tension and no fucking climax.
Or, Merlin is a romance writer secretly and pitifully in love with his best friend and flatmate Arthur. To unstick his writers block he decides to date Gwaine and Elyan, a poly couple. Turns out nothing unsticks except Arthur's sanity.
