    Summary

    “Every year, she asks if I’m bringing someone home for Christmas. I think she’s worried I’m lonely. And every year, I have to tell her no, which I just know breaks her heart. So I might have said yes this time.”

    That draws a surprised laugh from Max, who stares at him with wide eyes. “And you don’t actually have someone to bring home for Christmas, I take it?”

    “No,” the Monégasque admits, rubbing at the back of his neck.

    “Damn,” Max huffs, sounding both surprised and amused. “You didn’t give her a fake name as well, did you?”

    And, well, at least he didn’t technically do that.

    “Not exactly.”

    “What does that mean?”

    Charles lets out a groan and leans his head back against the wall again, staring at the bright Lusail sky.

    He takes a deep breath, deciding he’s already told Max too much to back out now, and offers him the kind of honesty he was unable to offer his own mother.

    “I might have told her I was bringing you?”

    ---

    OR: Charles lies about having a boyfriend to bring home for Christmas. That "boyfriend" is Max.

    Summary

    Joe drives his cab, Chuck plays Call of Duty, and Babe just wants to pass Biochem; their apartment is like Grand Central at the best of times and that’s without the two possible fugitives they decided to harbor in the guest room; Luz’s life is turning into a terrible romcom about a coffee shop; Harry’s friends are bad at running a bar but they’re trying their best; somebody got punched in the face; and someday there will be a New York Times Bestseller about all of it.

    Or, the interlinked soap opera-worthy drama of a group of millennials in Philadelphia, told day by day.

    Summary

    So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

    Summary

    Arthur could see his father glaring down - face red and eyes narrowed as he looked at Merlin with clear distaste.

    "Once this over, sorcerer...I’ll burn you."

    "You’ve already tried that," Merlin’s voice answered and Arthur had to bite his fist to keep from making any noise. “You need to accept you can’t kill me… Hand me that blanket, please.”

    “I’m sure there must be some method… Beheading?”

    “No, we tried that.”

    “Hanging?”

    “I just sort of... Swung there, remember?”

    There was another pause.

    “I should have made you keep that dragon below the castle so I could feed you to it.”

    “Kilgharrah? He won’t eat me, but if you want to torture me than making me listen to his nonsense for an hour might do it.” Merlin said and there was a soft sigh from the other end of the room. “I’m glad you agreed to help me though. Usually I have to do the grunt work of saving Arthur myself.”

    “I can’t wait to kill you.” 

    Or

    Uther finds out about Merlin’s magic, but can’t seem to kill him. Merlin is just trying to protect Arthur. They become a begrudgingly effective duo. Arthur doesn't understand why they think he isn't noticing this.

    Summary

    “Hey, do you want a croissant? Or a cookie? They’re really good! My ma makes them all. What are you into? Take anything, seriously, whatever you want!” Bakery Guy keeps waving him over at a faster pace the closer Keith gets and as Keith approaches the table he backs off from where he was hunched like a dragon over a pile of leftover pastries.

    “Uh…” Keith has no idea what the fuck is going on right now and he knows that his eyebrows are furrowed in a way that always makes Shiro laugh, but he can’t help it. What is happening.

    Bakery Guy shoots a ray of pure sunlight out of his face directly into Keith’s eyes with his smile and tries again, “We don’t always sell everything pastry and bread wise, so I try to hook up the other vendors with some treats before we take everything to the women’s shelter downtown. Do you want anything?”

    *

    In which Keith and Lance fall in love over a farmers market season the same way they do everything else: a little bit backward and a whole lot stupid.

    Summary

    When Keith found himself mentally linked to Lance of all people, he never thought that it would end in anything but irritation and misery on both sides. He certainly never imagined that it would be a useful asset in team Voltron's fight against the Galra Empire. Now if he can just keep his feelings in check, they might actually have a chance at defeating Zarkon.

    Needless to say, when he'd wished for a “bonding moment” with Lance, this wasn't exactly what he'd had in mind.

    (Eventual romance and mature content for later chapters).

    Summary

    When Lance’s previously obsolete skills in language suddenly become very useful, he finds himself wondering why aliens can’t account for the fact that humans, particularly him, need sleep and would prefer linear timelines.

    Nimona is a baby. An actual baby.

    Ambrosius paces back and forth, rocking her in an attempt to soothe her cries, while Ballister collapses on the sofa, rubbing his temple, trying to figure out what the hell they should do.

    Summary

    In fact, Ambrosius does just fine at love languages.

    (Or: Bal and Ambrosius's first meeting through to after the wall comes down, one love language at a time.)

    ‘Try gripping it more like—here,’ Ambrosius says, and sheathes his own sword, taking a step closer.

    Bal’s about to protest that he’s fine, he doesn’t need help. But Ambrosius’s fingers hover above his on the sword’s hilt, and when he asks, ‘May I?’ suddenly the last thing Bal wants is to tell him no.

    He feels so acutely aware of the gentle fingers on his as they adjust his grip carefully on the handle. No one’s ever really been gentle or careful with him before, so he doesn’t know if it’s always like this, like there’s shimmery warmth dancing between them, little pinpoints of electricity everywhere Ambrosius’s fingertips touch his skin.

    Summary

    Of course, it pained her, just a tiny bit, that such a long time had gone by and she remained the only girl in all of Avonlea school that no one had posted about. She didn’t dwell on it, though Josie Pye liked to point it out thrice a day in an overly loud voice that reached the ears of every boy in a mile radius.

    She was above this Take Notice business and that was that!

    Until…

    _______

    OR Anne starts receiving anonymous notes on the Take Notice Board, and she is determined to discover the face behind these vague declarations.

    Summary

    “Hang in there, buddy, you’re gonna be okay. Keep breathing. Don’t go to sleep on me now. You’re gonna be just fine…”

    The voice is calm, consistent to a fault, but tinged with a panic that Nix knows doesn’t quite belong there. He squints open his eyes to see an angel carrying him – halo of fire swirling around his head, soot marring his perfect skin, lips pursed in a determined line.

    “Oh, fuck,” Nix says, and those stormy blue-gray eyes flicker down to meet his. “Didn’t think I was going to heaven, but I’ll take it.”

    Then he lets the night embrace him.

    Summary

    Being a medic, Webster had thought, was one of the best ways to experience the war. All of the action and less of the danger - the Geneva Conventions guaranteed medical neutrality, at least if the Germans were a shred of the respectable people he'd once thought them. He hadn't volunteered for it, but when they'd taken his M-1 and replaced it with a satchel of bandages and morphine, he was more or less relieved.

    Summary

    "I have this prompt idea for Webgott: Web and Lieb work in same highschool. They are both English teachers. The only difference is that Web is British, Joe is American. They fight over everything: from literature, to teaching techniques, to history, and it always ends with mocking the other's accent and almost shouting. They fight which football is real football. They fight which dinner served in cafeteria is the best. It even comes down to leaving passive-aggressive or outright rude messages on boards in their classrooms. Students are all making bets when they will fight with fists. Bonus: their classrooms are facing. They put a show by holding eye contact and slamming doors every morning."

    Summary

    Race comes into a (small) sum of money and does what any logical Racetrack Higgins would do: goes to Vegas. He expects to drink a lot of booze, lose a lot of money, and maybe see a stripper or two. But he gets a lot more than he bargained for.

    *Rating for profane/suggestive language and mature/sexual references. There's nothing explicit, though.

    **Yeah, another modern AU. Not tied to any other AU and will most definitely remain a one shot.

    This series is now in the dramatic order, which skips back and forth in time for dramatic effect! It is no longer chronological.
