Summary
Kissing has never done all that much for Steve, if he’s honest.
It's just not really something he's ever given much thought to before - the way someone kisses - despite the fact that he's locked lips with plenty of people. For him, kissing has always been something nice, but not particularly special. It's never been earth-shattering. Never taken his breath away, the way people talk about in movies and books. It's just a way to be closer to someone, and it's nice, but it's never anything more than that.
Then, Steve kisses Eddie for the first time, and suddenly he gets it.

Summary
The first brush of pen against the skin of Remus’s hand had Remus jumping with surprise in his seat, but he didn’t pull away. Instead, Sirius saw Remus’s eyes dart down to watch as he began to draw the first thing that came to mind. Of course, seeing as it was Remus he was drawing on, the first thing that came to mind was a book.

Summary
Steve Harrington has had a lot of sex.
He's not, like, trying to brag about it, or anything. Frankly, he's not even sure it's something he would want to brag about in the first place. It's just an objective fact.
The sky is blue. The Earth is round. Water is wet.
And Steve Harrington has had a lot of sex.
Which is...well, a little bit bizarre, considering the fact that he's not entirely convinced he actually enjoys it most of the time.
In which Steve realizes that there's nothing wrong with him, he's just a little different. And that's perfectly okay.

Summary
“No?” the man said. “And where might this dashing fellow countryman of mine be?”
“Right here, actually,” Remus said with a lopsided grin, finally turning to face the newcomer. “I’m Re-”
He stopped halfway through his introduction to gape at the man in front of him. His pale skin was littered with tattoos – most of them black as his hair, which fell in waves that just barely touched his slim shoulders – and the grey v-neck tee he wore left little of his toned figure to the imagination. But none of these things were the primary focus of Remus’s attention. That honour would go to the man’s eyes – grey and sparkling with the vivacity of a summer storm, flecked with golds and blues if one only looked closely enough. They were eyes Remus would recognize anywhere.
Because Remus had seen them before.
OR
A chance meeting in Remus's least favorite city on Earth forces him to reckon with the fact that he may never have fallen out of love with an old friend.

Summary
“There are nights where I don’t really dream, or at least, not that I remember, you know?” Sirius continues. “But I can’t remember the last time I dreamt about something that was good. Something that made me happy.”
Remus’s heart beats unsteadily in his chest, because this, strangely enough, is not something he can relate to. Remus does have good dreams, on occasion, and a great many of them feature the boy with whom he is currently sharing a couch. He’s done his best to shove them to the back of his mind, whenever he wakes up from them. He relegates them to that ever-expanding box of Sirius-related memories that would be better off forgotten and moves on, only now… Sirius is right beside him, prodding at the box with long, aristocratic fingers, and Remus can feel the lid beginning to slip.

Summary
"It’s not ideal, keeping these recurrent headaches a secret from all of his friends, and sure, Steve's had his fair share of days where he’s been forced to just work through the pain, but he’s making it work. He’s managing.
He’s fine."
In which Steve Harrington is determined to suffer his migraines in silence, alone, and Eddie Munson is determined not to let him.

Summary
On the day Sirius Black turned seventeen, he had his soulmark removed in order to protect the soulmate he'd never met from the wrath of his own family. In the eight years since, he's managed to make his peace with living the rest of his life without falling in love. Though he mourns his lost soulmate every day, he's confident he made the right choice to protect them, and no one has ever made him question that.
Until, of course, Lily Evans brings her childhood friend along for a pub night, and Sirius finds himself utterly enamored with the kind, mysterious stranger. But Remus Lupin surely has a soulmate of his own waiting out there somewhere, and Sirius won't let himself get in the way of that.
He just wishes Remus weren't so damn easy to love.

Summary
“What on earth are you doing?” Remus asked, a fond, confused smile on his lips.
“We’re going outside,” Sirius replied simply, grinning and tugging on Remus’s hand.
Remus just laughed, but allowed Sirius to pull him outside and into the rain anyway. “But it’s the middle of the night! And it’s pouring!” he protested with a grin, looking up to the sky as both of them began to feel cool droplets of rain against their skin. It was already soaking through the fabric of Remus’s t-shirt.
“I know!”
OR
Remus has a bad night, and Sirius is determined to turn it around by showing him exactly how loved he is.
Can be read as a one-shot, or as a slice of life sequel to The Scientific Method!

Right?

Summary
“First of all,” Draco said, running a hand through his boyfriend’s messy, jet-black hair. “You’re not a disaster of a person. Though if you insist on calling yourself something of the sort, at least choose a more original word than disaster. Calamity, perhaps? Or fiasco. 'Fiasco of a person' has a nice ring to it, no?”
Harry snickered and cracked a smile at that. “You’re absurd.”
“Indeed,” Draco confirmed solemnly. “But I wasn’t finished, so hush, Potter."
OR
Harry has a bad day and makes a big decision, Draco is a sassy but wonderful boyfriend, and both of them are about to have an unusually exciting Thursday evening.

Summary
"It wasn’t until he woke on his fifth morning in France that it finally hit him. Out of habit, Harry had gotten up and showered, pulled on some clothes, and used magic to boil some water for tea. Then, just like every morning at home, he’d grabbed two mugs and two tea bags and let them steep. When they were done, he added milk and sugar to his own and just a bit of milk to…
Oh.
He stared at the tea he made for Draco, exactly how he liked it, and it all hit him at once. Finally, he’d understood why things had never felt quite right with Ginny, why sometimes he looked forward to getting home after his dates with her than he did to the date itself.
Harry was in love with Draco."
