Summary
Alex sighs as he rolls over, grabbing Henry's pillow and pulling it against his chest.
It's early, the sky still inky blue outside the windows, moonlight falling across the floor.
On the other side of the room, Henry stands in front of one of his easels, mug cupped in his hands and baggy jeans hanging off his hips. His head is tipped to the side as he assesses the work he put in the day before, and Alex can tell by the tense line of his shoulders that he's not happy. He'll spend the whole day circling and poking at it, biting his nails down to the quick as he tries to decide what he needs to change.

Summary
“Are you sure you’re going to be okay here?”
Henry lowers his mug and watches as Alex overfills his thermos. He’s had two cups already, and the odds of him having more at the office are high.
“Here?” Henry asks as he tosses Alex a dishcloth to mop up the coffee. “In our home?”
“In this house…all the way out here…alone.”
“I’m not a child, Alex,” Henry says, affronted. “I don’t require a babysitter.”
“I know that,” Alex says, “I know that. It’s just…you grew up in a palace. You had people everywhere. Now you’re just…alone out here.”
“I can assure you that when I was growing up, I was alone, plenty.”
Alex groans. “Oh god, please don’t say that. That makes me so sad.”
Or.
5 times Henry works to make their house a home +1 time Alex realizes it's been home all along.

Summary
Eddie lifted his glass, bringing it to his lips, but just as he was about to take a sip, his gaze shifted, and he saw Tommy reach for Buck’s hand, their fingers intertwining. Water sprayed from Eddie’s nose and down his chin as a violent cough erupted from his throat.
He slammed his glass onto the table, sitting upright as he coughed into his hand. His eyes watered, but he couldn’t tear them away from the scene before him.
He hadn’t imagined it.
They were holding hands.
OR:
7x05 spec fic. Buck and Tommy have their first date. Eddie is jealous about it. (Includes Buck and Tommy making out at the loft + Eddie dealing with complicated feelings towards his best friend).

Summary
He can’t remember exactly how old he was when Halley’s Comet blazed through the sky, but he was old enough to at least understand that what he saw was, for most people, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He remembers the blinding missile-like blur of pure light that streaked across the inky black sky, the feathery trails of starlight that followed along behind her as she tore through the galaxy, the way she flickered and winked as she disappeared beyond the horizon.
And he remembers his mother telling him, in a voice he recognized even then to be warbling with reverence and emotion, how lucky he is to be among those lucky few who will get to witness Halley’s blazing trail twice in one lifetime.

Summary
Amy Santiago detests pep rallies.
It’s probably among the most boring, bookworm-esque things about her - which is really saying something, considering she spends most Friday nights catching up on recorded episodes of Wheel of Fortune when not competing in her highly competitive literature-based trivia league at O’Hannigan’s - but really, truly, she hates them. Hates the uncomfortable chill of the large gym (to accommodate for the 500 students packed into the stands, or so Principal Holt says), the crackling speaker blown out from years of student emcees screaming into the microphones, hates the way the marching band’s sound glances off the wall opposite where they sit in the stands, echoing back harshly to create an off-beat dissonance guaranteed to have a headache unfurling in her temples in a matter of seconds.
But most of all - more than anything - she hates the annual teacher relay race.
in which amy complains, jake competes, and charles and rosa scheme

Summary
Something happened half an hour ago. He’s not entirely sure what - hasn’t tried sussing it out beyond the initial bombardment - all he really knows is that he was home, on his couch, content with his Jurassic Park with limited commercial interruptions, and then it felt like the whole earth was falling to pieces and he knew.
So maybe he is sure about what happened - she’d mentioned as she left the precinct earlier that she had dinner plans with Teddy tonight. And it’s odd, how beyond his immediate concern for her, he feels his own undeniable sense of hope rising. His soulmate - who doesn’t know she’s his soulmate - is single once again.
Finally.

Summary
There are plenty of reasons why Lexi withholds getting her license: less driving is better for the environment, biking is great exercise, and taking the bus or hitching a ride from a friend are always options. But one she's less keen on sharing is that she’s fucking terrified of the idea of driving. Luckily, Fezco happens to be a pretty good teacher.

Summary
When she was a teenager, one day destroyed Lexi Howard’s entire world. She’s been trying to outrun her past ever since.
She left behind California and her dream of being a writer, swapped them for Chicago and a new dream - Dr. Alexandra Howard, M.D. It was almost enough to make her forget everything she’s lost… until Fezco O’Neill is wheeled into her ER with a gunshot wound to the shoulder, and back into her life.
She’ll get through this, it will be fine. It’s not like they mean anything to each other. Not anymore.
Nobody meets the love of their life when they’re seventeen, right?

Summary
Upside-down in the front seat cupholder, Lexi’s phone makes a little wakeup noise like a struck gong, and the screen goes from dead gray to a shiny bluish black. The white Apple symbol flashes for a second before and her lockscreen—a picture of her and Rue in third grade—flickers back to life.
lexi: I’m glad you didn’t get your sweater dirty for that douchebag.

Summary
“She looks like you,” he tells her, and she quickly shakes her head. She doesn’t usually mind if people mistake her for Rain’s mom, but for some reason, she doesn’t like him going down that train of thought.
This isn’t my kid, and I’m not in a relationship or anything, just in case you’re wondering. I’m actually just a very single sophomore studying No Country for Old Men.
