Summary
When Hermione stepped through the door to Umbridge’s office and saw someone with a shock of red hair already seated in front of the desk, she was torn between exasperation and relief. Of course a Weasley twin was in detention - term was in progress, after all. Whichever one it was craned his neck to get a glance at her, and his grin spread ear to ear.
Ah. So it was Fred.

Summary
It’s perfect. It’s cinematic, and beautiful, and peaceful, and sweet. Michelle’s walking along a deserted cobblestone bridge with Peter Parker, in Europe, in a wash of lamplight, hands awkwardly folded in front of herself because she’s not sure if they’re on hand-holding level yet. It’s perfect.
Like all good things, it is not meant to last.

Summary
When Aunt March said, “The young Mr. Laurence has been by to see you,” Amy thought her heart might have actually skipped a beat. She was walking in a daze, the rush of adrenaline that had given her the courage to deny Fred still pulsing through her.
She knew what her answer would be now, and she pictured herself looking into Laurie’s eyes and telling him that she had declined Fred Vaughn’s proposal and he-
Aunt March’s next words sent that fantasy crashing down, and Amy into a chair right along with it. Her building hopes collapsed around her and her prospects disappeared from between her fingers.

Summary
"Jo had a strong suspicion that it was less to do with growing up, and more to do with living in different houses that had helped her relationship with Amy. Much like how Teddy would drive her mad if she had to live with him, although he was her dearest friend. Well, perhaps that was why Amy and Laurie were so well-suited."
For all their quarrels, Amy and Jo excelled at being neighbors.

Summary
interconnected stories set during oliver and felicity's road trip of happiness!!! you can read them straight through, out of order or just one of them! they can be stand-alone and still make 100% perfect sense. mainly fluffy, kinda plotless drabbles with a lot of sex.

Summary
Flight 771 shouldn't have been any different than any of the hundreds of other flights that Shane has taken over the course of his career, aside from the fact that it was taking him towards his lifelong dream—towards the Olympics.
It shouldn't have been any different.

Summary
JJ didn't think the others saw it. Hayden, maybe, but Jackie was the only WAGs's name Shane had committed to memory so Hayden never brought it up. JJ didn't have a wife or girlfriend. He had his hookups and the names of the best restaurants in each city they player in. If JJ had a dog, Shane would probably mix its name up with Drapeau's. The others didn't get that however pathetic or sad they might think Shane, Shane thought the same of them tenfold when they missed shots at practice or ate fast food on weekdays. Shane wasn't being prissy or funny when he said, don't embarass me—JJ still doesn't know exactly what it was, but he doesn't care to find out.
Shane had poured everything into his team (possessively: it was his team) and he asked them to give it back that day, so they delivered. When Shane smiled at them afterwards, it felt like love.
Character study on neurotic batshit hardass Captain Shane Hollander. The awe-inspiring and aloof Canadian Hockey Jesus Shane Hollander. Unwilling MHL sex icon Shane Hollander, the face on many mens' dart boards.
or, JJ on the enigma of (his feelings for) Shane Hollander over the years.

Summary
@ottawacentaurs
Shane Hollander ranks hockey players; number five will surprise you!“Who’s the third?” Shane asked with seemingly genuine confusion.
“What?”
“The third player.” Shane clarified, “In the big three of active players? I mean it’s me and Ilya, right?”
Amelia nodded mutely whilst Luca Haas, who had been asked the question, stared at Shane with wide eyes.
“So, who’s the third?” Shane’s face took on a contemplative look.
“Scott Hunter?” Amelia said with confusion.
“Hunter?” Shane looked surprised. “Why?”
Across the room Roz let out a bark of laughter.- Language:

Summary
It's not the worst thing Cliff's ever done, by far, but he wouldn't exactly say he's proud of it either. It's surprisingly easy to get the number from Roz's phone, despite it being practically glued to his hand all the time. But 8 shots and 3 beers will do that to a man, Cliff supposes - even a Russian one.
He's doing this for Roz, and for the team. Sure, the boys had probably been joking when they'd mentioned going "straight to source" to solve The Montreal Jane Problem, but the last 6 weeks had been frankly unbearable. He wasn't sure what exactly Roz had done, but it had to be fixable. They'd been texting for years, for christ's sake. Undoubtedly messy and unconventional, but clearly this Jane was way more important than Roz was willing to admit. Maybe even to himself.
Maybe that was the problem.
_________________(Or, Cliff starts texting "Jane" before the 2017 All Star Game, and things sort of go from there.)
