Summary
Summer has been and gone, and school started up once again. Eddie served my father and I dinner in the kitchen. I had seen Eddie's dissatisfaction growing over the months. He clearly didn't want to be stuck in this role, pseudo-parenting me forever. For once, I didn't accept my father's absence. It angered me to be sat opposite him while he looked right through me. He might as well have not been there at all, this shell of a man. There, for a moment, I despised him for his weakness.
Faulkner and his father have a difficult relationship. What was it like for Richard, Eddie and their father living together in that house in the aftermath of Charlie's death? How do we end up with the fraught situation in Chapter 38? And was it always destined to end this way?

Summary
"The universe was grey and empty - almost utterly devoid of life. Almost. To most, it would have been completely inhospitable, a desolate wasteland. Fog crept across the landscape if it could possibly be alive enough to be considered one, disturbed only by the figures of two interlopers..."

A Marriage Born From Duty, Built of Love by melandrops

Summary
In this world, every fear has a claim over a slice of the land. 14 fears rule as kings over their domain of power with an iron fist, jockeying for an upper hand over the other kings, forming alliances and making enemies. In the long history of this world, there have been wars, attempted rituals, and everything in between.
Elias Bouchard serves as the esteemed and respected right hand of the Eye, hand selected to be the person who carries out its whims and plans. When the Eye suggests a marriage between one Prince Peter Lukas, Elias fulfills his king's wishes out of duty and obligation, nothing more.
But for all his knowledge and power, Elias could never have prepared himself for the effect that Peter will have on him. He expects their powers to clash, for their personalities to be unaligned, and most of all, that a servant of the Lonely will be of no interest to him. Instead Elias finds himself slipping into something that he may never come back from, something that will test who he is really loyal to - his king, or the parts of him that remain human?

Summary
Michael looks back at Gerry. “You’ll text?” he asks quietly.
They stand only an arm’s length from each other. Gerry’s mouth goes dry. He licks his lips, and he doesn’t miss the way Michael’s gaze flicks downwards. He doesn’t miss the fact that they’re saying goodbye, and if things were only slightly different, there might be an expectation of how this evening would end.
If it starts raining right now, Gerry might choke on the cliches.
-
A college AU in which the gang forms a band, Gerry falls in love with an art student, and everyone has to grow up eventually.

Summary
"You can't be serious." Jonathan Sims raises his eyes at last to properly look at Georgie, expecting her to laugh and make some quip about finally getting him to put the damn book down, at least.
"Well, I am," she shoots back.
He sets his book aside and turns fully towards her, betrayal clear on his face. "A blind date, really?"
Jon makes the frankly terrible decision to go on a blind date with one Martin Blackwood. Fate ensues. AU where Jon and Georgie are still friends, Georgie likes finding dates for her friends, Martin doesn't work at the institute, and everyone is just a bit happier while canon spooky stuff goes on in the background. Takes place juuust barely pre-canon in the beginning but catches up quickly. Inspired as usual by the wonderful conversations with my friend RavenXavier/somuchbetterthanthat.
