Summary
And then Damen was face to face with Prince Auguste, the man he had thought to defeat and maybe kill on the battlefield all those years ago.
“Well, he certainly looks capable.”
Auguste’s tone matched the look on his face. Detached, uninterested. He regarded Damen for a moment or two before stepping around him to take a look at Lou.
The gasp was unexpected.
Even more unexpected was the desperate, broken: “Laurent?”
--
For seven years, Lou the Unnamed Veretian has lived a life of comfort in the Akileon court, after Damen finds him bloody and injured in the woods. For seven years, the fate of Laurent the Prince of Vere has remained unknown after he escapes from a camp without anyone noticing. For seven years, the evil plot to take over two kingdoms remains hidden in the mind of the one person who already stopped it once, but doesn't remember.

Summary
Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death.
In the ruins of post-war North America, a military state known as The Capitol controls twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them to send two teenagers each year to participate in The Hunger Games, a televised fight to the death.
Eighteen year old Ray Garraty already views the Games as a death sentence, but when a boy from his past volunteers to take the place of his younger sister he knows he's a goner for sure. Ray's a survivor, everyone says so, but what does it mean to compete in a death match when the thing you're fighting for isn't your own life?

I did it, I caved and beat-for-beat re-wrote THG with Ray and Pete. But there are still some surprises in there! As of updating this description I'm officially 2/3 of the way through the book! Hunger Games fans, you know what that means!
I would call this film characterisation combined with book lore. If you haven't read the book you'll probably just presume some characters are OCs lol. And if you haven't read The Hunger Games I (albeit briefly) explain the worldbuilding lore here, so you won't be lost.

Summary
‘Two monsters at my door,’ the voice said with a reluctant hint of amusement. ‘I’ll pass.’
‘I am no monster,’ Damen said, laughing in surprise, and then: ‘You are not a vengeful ghost, are you?’
‘I—’ the face reappeared at the window, leaning down a little so as to take a better look, and allowing Damen to see that it was a boy, or perhaps a young man speaking. ‘I am not a ghost.’
‘No promises on the vengefulness, I see,’ Damen said, and was surprised to see the boy smile.
‘I’ll help you,’ he said, ‘and you will return at this same hour tomorrow, and grant me a favour.’
*
Two princes died at Marlas.
At least, that's how the story goes.

Summary
Laurent is the editor in chief of Acquitart Publishing. He is high-powered, ruthless, and has just found out that his visa has been denied. Desperate and erratic, he forces his assistant Damen into marrying him to avoid deportation and to keep his position.
Damen begrudgingly accepts, but not without a few conditions of his own, one of them being a week in Akielos for his mother’s birthday where Laurent can meet the family and they can announce their engagement together.

Summary
It is on a ball in Arles where Laurent feels his heart stop for the first time.
Laurent has never been the type to try and grab the spotlight. But as his heart goes boom, he knows that this one, Prince Damianos of Akielos, is his.He never expected Damianos to actually like him back.

Summary
“This slave is a gift from the Regent of Vere
to Prince
Damianos.”A reverse AU exploring how just a single canon divergence – where Laurent is forced into slavery instead of being the prince – could set off a chain reaction that radically transforms the original narrative.
Inspired by this illustration of oenjanz’s (@tumblr),
however the fic cover is my own. -

Summary
He tells Josh this is the last time – which, Eddie probably should be offended that Josh’s only response was a shrug and to pull out his phone, but he’s really not.
He’s pretty sure Josh opened Grindr, too, which helps obliterate the sting.
Eddie is a grown man, a father, and a firefighter with more trauma than a beaten dog. He doesn’t care about having no-kiss sex with Josh.
Buck is the only one on his mind.
In the morning, when he wakes up bright and early to bring Buck his favorite sugary breakfast – an iced cinnamon bun and a java chip frappuccino from the coffee shop across from his apartment – and a love confession that’s something akin to, I love you, it’s always been you, and it only ever will be you, the building is on fire.
or, eddie and josh somehow, miserably, become friends with benefits. buck is afraid he’s homophobic because for some reason, he hates all of it
and, what buck hopes is completely unrelated - his apartment burns to the ground.

Summary
Eddie can’t move. Like this, Buck is illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the window; dust motes shimmering around his head, his hair haloed in gold. Beautiful, Eddie thinks. And to his surprise, he doesn’t feel any sort of guilt about doing so.
Except — he should. Because Buck is dating Tommy, and he’s happy, and Eddie would rather go to his grave repressed and miserable than ever take away from Buck’s happiness.
Or: Eddie starts to untangle his complicated feelings about himself, and Buck. Mainly Buck.

Summary
Evan Buckley was born with the singular purpose of saving his older brother. And it works: the cells graft and Daniel's cancer goes into remission. Instead of becoming a grim secret that haunts his family for years to come, Daniel lives.
In some ways, it makes all the difference.
In other ways, it doesn't make any difference at all.

Summary
Eddie really liked Tommy.
If asked, he could give a long list of reasons why.
Tommy was an army guy, like Eddie himself, they had a lot of shared experiences.
Tommy was witty, he always had a one liner ready to throw out.
Tommy was into MMA, and muay thai, and he could fly Eddie to games.
Tommy would play pickup with him even when Buck always said no.
Tommy was good with Christopher. He had an easy charm with Eddie’s preteen son, and he had lots of stories that Christopher couldn’t quite get enough of.
And, the most important reason, Tommy had been a huge part of the reason Athena and Bobby had survived.
The problem was… Eddie kind of couldn’t fucking stand Tommy.
OR -
Eddie goes through the stages of grief watching Buck and Tommy together and gets progressively more unhinged as his jealousy builds. No bashing of Marisol or Tommy in this, they're just not right for Eddie and Buck.

Summary
“Tommy was flirting with you at the hospital,” Chim states.
“No, he wasn’t,” Buck argues.
“Yes, he was,” Hen says, appearing around the nose of the truck, having been off checking in with the other captain on the scene. Judging by her casual demeanor, there are no kittens for them in the immediate future. “Which was odd, because I thought he was seeing someone?”
“Nah, things with the boyfriend ended a couple of months back,” Chim explains, at the same time as Buck shakes his head and says, “He told me he was single.”
Chim’s eyes light up and he points directly at Buck’s face. “Flirting!”
This is how it starts: Buck goes on a date with Tommy. How it goes from there, Eddie can't even begin to explain.

Summary
“She truly is your daughter, Alex,” Henry sighs, defeated.
“Fuck off, sweetheart,” he laughs, a soundbite of the sun. Henry forces himself not to physically react, the term of endearment sweet and menacingly familiar coming from Alex’s lips. It’s been years. “You know they’re useful.”
“Ah yes, eyelashes, truly a formidable instrument in managing international relations.”
Alex grins, and Henry is too late to catch the slightest downward lilt on the corner of his mouth, “Worked on you once, didn’t it?”
Oh, did that ache.
(Much had happened since the time Henry had told Alex to leave. Alex had passed the bar, gotten married, had the most beautiful daughter. And Henry, well. He stayed right where he was.)

Summary
“What’s this?” asks Buck, picking up a pamphlet from the loft’s kitchen counter.
“I’m pretty sure you can read, Buck,” answers Chim, popping his gum. Usually, Buck wouldn’t be irritated by that, but Chim’s the interim captain due to Bobby’s cruise, and everything gets on his nerves.
“I can read,” Buck huffs. “I’m just confused. How does this work?”
He looks down at the pamphlet again. The deep red letters that say, are you a first responder looking for a buddy who understands your woes? — Fireapp’s got you covered!
_____
OR Buck joins a support app for first responders and matches with a firefighter who has PTSD and a kid who likes giraffes, apparently.

Summary
Josh raises an eyebrow. "1.0? Are you an iPhone now?"
"I forgot you don't know about all that." Buck smiles. "It was a way to distinguish between growth. That first Buck got people in the academy to like him by being that kinda guy. That's where I got the name, because there were three Evans."
"Oh," Josh replies, with the air of a man solving a mystery that's never occurred to him until right now. Then his eyes turn sympathetic. "That Buck didn't tell anyone there about that part of you, did he?"
Buck shrugs. "I was sleeping around a lot, it just didn't - like, I tried to be a Navy SEAL at one point, and the academy guys were way less like, scary macho straight energy than those guys but,
they were still like that a bit, like I'd tell them about girls but they'd make those kind of, you're so gay for this jokes with each other, and like, I get that they were joking, I just knew, it'd be weird to tell them about the guys. It was just, I don't know easier, to be that guy, you know?"*
buck starts hanging out with and then dating josh. eddie's totally fine with it. totally. (and maddie's none too thrilled either...)
