Summary
The premise of Married at First Sight is simple: get matched to a complete stranger by a group of relationship experts and meet your future spouse on your wedding day. So far, this 'scientific' experiment has only been limited to the straights, but for the upcoming season of Married at First Sight UK, things are going to be different: it will be a queer-only season.
Joe applies because of a bet, Nicky applies because his friends bully him into it. Both of them are sure they won't be going any further than the application process, except... they do. But that's fine. They'll just meet at the ceremony, get married, try not to murder each other for the mandatory six weeks, and then they will get divorced and go their own, very separate ways.
Or will they?

Summary
Nicky feels a smile slip onto his face as he takes it all in. Nicky is teaching again. He’s got a classroom that’s his in a good school; Nicky gets to make this space his own, he gets to put his passion for watching other people learn and grow somewhere, he gets to watch as student’s eyes widen when they finally understand something they’ve been stuck on. As those thoughts sink in, as Nicky lets himself realize that he’s back to doing what he loves, someone knocks on his door.
Nicky pushes himself off the wall and looks over to see who it is, only to lose all of his higher brain functions when he sees a very beautiful man standing in his doorway, wearing dark wash jeans and a blue t-shirt. He is possibly the most beautiful man Nicky has ever seen in his entire life, with his curly hair and thick beard and his arms-
“Hey, you’re Nicky, right? I ran into Quynh and she said you came in today, so I thought I would introduce myself. I’m Joe.” Joe offers Nicky his hand and Nicky takes it after he blinks a few times too many. Joe’s smile is very pretty and even more distracting. He needs to get it together, but he can’t, because Joe’s hand is so warm that Nicky misses it when Joe takes his hand back.

Summary
Nicolò Di Genova is home for the summer after he graduated college - except, things are tense and strange. His Dad, a big shot lawyer who works for Merrick Enterprises, has hired extra security, and seems a bit miffed he came home for the summer instead of touring Europe like he had wanted him, too. But Nicky was just trying to spend his summer in the pool while he works some things out . . .
Joe is hired as extra security to watch over a guy who knows nothing about life (or so he thinks). This is his last job, and then he’s done - he’s out, and can just focus on what he needs to do next. But what was supposed to be an easy job of watching a rich kid sunbathing while his Dad coordinates his grand jury testimony with the DEA, turns into something much more dangerous. It’s not just Nicky’s Dad who is in danger - it’s Nicky, too.
Because someone has decided he wants him all to himself . . . and it’s not just Joe.

Summary
The “Partners Weekend” at Merrick Industries was a bit of a joke, and in more ways than one. Who actually had time to spend a long couples weekend with people you worked with? But Joe had slaved away too many hours at his desk to blow off his chance at a promotion just like that. Particularly when all he had to actually do for it was spend a weekend in some manor house in the English countryside with his colleagues.
Which led him to his current predicament: Who of his friends would agree to pose as his spouse for four days – and at one week’s notice?
Double fake-dating AU: Joe asks Quynh to pretend to be his wife for an important work social at Merrick Industries. Andy brings her good friend Nicky under a similar guise. Only of course none of them are actually straight, and of course none of them are willing to admit that.
A dumbasses-to-lovers story.

Summary
When a mission goes wrong, the Old Guard team discovers to their consternation that Nicky has forgotten his entire life back to his first death. Which is especially unfortunate because, at the time of Nicky’s first death, he was a murderous Crusader hell-bent on killing Joe.
Now, stuck in their safe house with a furious religious fanatic who believes the Siege of Jerusalem was that morning and he’s been kidnapped by his enemies, Andy, Booker, and Joe struggle to figure out how to restore Nicky’s memories, while Joe faces the prospect of a future where he never does.
(Rating changed from T to E as of Ch. 12, however, there are notes so the chapter can be skipped to maintain a T rating if the reader so chooses.)

Summary
On the day it happens, Joe wakes the same as he’s done well over three hundred thirty thousand times before. Nose pressed to the soft, sleep-warm skin of Nicky’s nape, arm slung adoringly over his waist. It gives him the option of pressing the flat of his palm to a steady heartbeat or to intertwine their fingers and, oh, the sweet anguish of decision.
Joe smiles, nuzzles Nicky’s neck, snuffling through his grown-out locks. Ducks his head to Nicky’s shoulder blade. He presses his lips chastely to his flesh, not so much a kiss as a smile pressed into his smooth skin.
There is a bruise on Nicky’s shoulder.

Summary
He doesn’t get nightmares. He doesn’t dream about the mask, the cries of the villagers, waking up in the desert with a blinding headache and his mouth filled with blood and the man who’d saved him gone, most likely dead.
Instead, he just can’t sleep.

Summary
When he moves, the dress does too. He thinks of Snow White, twirling and singing with birds. Then he imagines him and Sam in some kind of fairytale, spinning and singing while Sam summons various brightly- colored little birds to help them with their housework. He imagines Sam lifting him up and twirling him around right before he plants a kiss onto Bucky's lips. He imagines Sam laying him down on their soft fairytale bed (the birds had put clean sheets on it for them) and kissing him like he's real sweet. Likes he's the fairest of them all. The prettiest thing Sam’s ever seen. The thought makes him smile, since he's pretty sure Sam would be the most handsome prince in all the land. He can just see it, Sam’s full lips spreading into a gap-toothed grin as the king places a golden crown on his head. He would bow and the whole kingdom would applaud. Bucky would give a little curtsey and all of the townspeople would wish them well as they headed off to their woodland cottage.

"You set me up with a twink, Natasha!" Sam whispered as loudly as he dared in the bathroom, hoping no one could hear him on the other side of door.
"What's wrong with that?" she asked as if that didn't mean anything.
"Twinks don't top, Tash! It's like the gay golden rule!"

Summary
Sam Wilson was the Picasso of flirting, which was why it was such a shame that Steve could probably get slapped in the face with a dick and still misinterpret a sexual advance as an honest mistake. Oh God, I’m sorry, I accidentally hit your dick with my face. I apologize. I can pay for that. I’m so sorry.
