    Summary

    Shane is the steady ground he stands upon, the hand that guides him, the very air that he breathes. They’re so entwined now, that Ilya is certain he would cease to exist if ever they were separated.

    It’s maybe becoming a problem.

    Or, 5 times Ilya and Shane try (and fail) not to be codependent, and 1 time they just give into it.

    Summary

    Ilya knows that no one loves the same version of a person; his Shane is different to Yuna’s Shane, who is different to David’s Shane, who is different to J.J., or Rose, or Hayden’s Shane. And while Ilya knows he’d fall in love with every single version, he’s happy he gets this one. Happy he gets the Shane who lets himself be trusting, and vulnerable, and honest.

    It makes Ilya wish he could have loved Shane earlier - makes him wish he could have known him longer. But he’s just glad he gets to do it now, here, like this.

     

    (Or, four times people are surprised by Shane’s clinginess, and one time they completely expect it.)

    Summary

    In their first summer after being outed, Shane finally accepts that invite to Bood's backyard barbecue. It could have been a relaxing night. But Ilya's brought vodka. And the Centaurs brought questions. Might as well rip off the band aid before he signs with Ottawa.

    Or

    How many shots is it worth to know what your Captain likes in bed?

    Summary

    The first year Shane spends with the Centaurs involves kink discussions, aggressively affectionate rookies, a book club, a sex club, Bood and Hazy Being Done™ and Ilya alluding to Shane's sexual preferences to the press, though not necessarily in that order.
    And honestly? He's never been happier.

    Summary

    It started on Thursday, September 1st, 2011. Tired, hot, and miserable, Olivia was within reach of her apartment before she noticed it. A box was sitting neatly in front of her door. That Elliot had sent? The son of a bitch left her, then still tried to take care of her? No, he didn’t get to do that. Either she meant something to him and she was worth having in his life or she didn’t and she wasn’t. The selfish bastard couldn’t have it both ways. He couldn’t leave her and still care about her.

    Ten years worth of ways Elliot never let Olivia go.

    Summary

    When a potion goes wrong, Harry begins to hear the thoughts of everyone around him. In order to not go mad, he asks Snape to help him. Except Harry comes to the realisation that he doesn’t want to get rid of his ability, not when he has to save Severus Snape from himself.

    Summary

    Haunted by residual venom and the stinging contempt of a world that didn't expect him to live, Severus Snape finds himself spiraling into a darkness no potion can dull. But as the cycle of self-destruction deepens, the one variable he cannot control is Harry Potter.

    Severus is faced with a prospect more frightening than death: the possibility that he is no longer alone in his wreckage.

    Summary

    In the Shrieking Shack, Harry chose to save Snape rather than let him die. Now the war is over, Voldemort is dead, and Harry is drowning. Everyone's moved on except him—and Snape, released to Spinner's End with trembling hands and no purpose left. Harry tracks him down in the rain. Two broken men who should be enemies find something unexpected: the only person who understands what it means to survive when you were ready to die.

    Summary

    What she could offer was simpler and smaller and, to her mind then, safer. They needed privacy, discretion, time together when they wanted it. Sex, yes, but not only sex, ease and comfort too.

    Her words were elegant in describing what she wanted, so sophisticated - like they came from years of practice of thinking this aloud, while she hadn’t ever imagined a friends with benefits situation with Elliot in her wildest dreams.

    She had always wanted him fully and wholly. And yet.

     

    _________
    Early morning, twice a week, Elliot's vibrating alarm signals his quiet exit from her home. Olivia tells herself what they have chosen is simple, until everything starts shaking loose.

    Summary

    “Are you...Patrick?” It doesn’t make sense, but then again, nothing about Ray’s businesses makes much sense.

    To be honest, there’s not a lot about David’s life that makes sense these days.

    The kid giggles suddenly, like David has said something funny instead of being quite possibly the only rational human in the entire building. “I’m Jamie,” they say. “Patrick’s my dad.”

    Summary

    "Patrick does so much for him. He feels slightly choked up just thinking about it. The taxes and spreadsheets and dinners he cooks and the coffees he makes him in the mornings. All the times David’s fallen asleep on his lap while they were watching baseball and Patrick’s pulled a blanket over him. He starts to feel slightly anxious because he doesn’t even know where to start, it’s so much and he’s never going to be able to do it justice in comparison."

     

    Or, Alexis teaches David about love languages, and David gets all in his head.

    Summary

    When he arrives at Hogwarts, Harry Potter is not at all the boy everyone wants him to be. Harry does not speak, he does not make eye contact, he does not cast spells, he makes no magic at all. Not until he explodes in a hurricane of Dark magic, nearly leveling the entire Forbidden Forest with his uncontrollable fury.

    Dumbledore and the professors of Hogwarts are horrified.

    As the parasitic magic continues to consume the shy and skittish Boy Who Lived, it becomes up to his reluctant Head of House, Severus Snape, to determine exactly what’s wrong with the boy he loathes so very much — before it is too late.

    Summary

    Mycroft first notices Lestrade through surveillance—and the shift from interest to something deeper is a gradual loss of control. When Lestrade is injured during an operation, Mycroft draws him into his own life, and as their relationship quietly deepens, the consequences of old decisions begin to resurface.
    The story does not end there. Over the years that follow, their relationship remains hidden in the spaces between the events of canon, before moving into a new phase in the aftermath of Sherrinford.
    This is a story about psychological tension, moral grey areas, responsibility and boundaries—and about two adults choosing each other, again and again, over the course of many years.

    2026.9.4 Added :"One Proposal, Two Rings"

    The goal now is to write the Mystrade stories that unfolded off-screen during each of the earlier episodes.

    Summary

    “Eddie, I am definitely not going to date anyone else now,” Buck said, straightening up and frowning.

    Eddie could feel himself flush, hating once again that his cheeks always showed his feelings. “I mean, you can,” he stuttered. “This doesn’t change anything—”

    “Why do you always say that?” Buck snapped, pulling back. Another tear crested his waterline on the other side and he sniffled and swiped at it furiously with one hand. “That—that nothing will change. I tell you something life-changing and you assure me nothing will change,” Buck said, looking devastated. “I want things to change, Eddie. I want you to want things to change. I want you to want things, period.”

    -

    OR: one year, two funerals, one LAFD gala, and approximately a dozen times Eddie had to sigh and say “Yes, it’s Buck’s.”
