Summary
Skinner stepped back, allowing her room to breath, to move, but not enough room to slip past him. He leaned in,
just the top part of his body curving over her. "Haven't you ever seen Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Agent Scully? I
thought your last outing would have taught you the dangers of picking up strange men."Wirerims Awards Winner - First Place, Best Skinner Story Ever

Summary
1955 was curling in on itself, desiccating like a pillbug. Summer had passed. Autumn was well underway, leaves browning and San Francisco fog creeping in denser all the time, when he’d got the call. Daniel Pierce, more perplexed than worried, asking if he’d spoken with Hawkeye lately, and if he had, did he know anything about—and BJ had asked him to repeat himself three times—about ghosts?
///
Or: In October of 1955, Hawkeye and BJ reunite to search for the supernatural, among other intangibilities.
///
Alternately: Everything dies more brilliantly in Maine.

Summary
Hawkeye turned in his arms, setting his chin on his hands, his palms flat over BJ’s sternum.
Their eyes met. BJ’s breath caught, his chest warming—God, was Hawkeye lovely. BJ told him so.
“With this nose?” Hawkeye asked, crossing his eyes.///
The war ends. Life doesn’t.

Summary
Stede Bonnet, recently divorced, returns to the town he once knew with a plan. He's got the house (older and more derelict than he remembers), he's got the bees (and the theoretical skill to keep them), and he's going to be(e) happy if it's the last thing he does. (Stede is, as it turns out, a bit miserable no matter how hard he tries.)
Ed Teach has been keeping all of his various demos at bay more or less successfully for years now. He's known as THE beekeeper in town, always meticulous, always gentle, never too bothered with rules, expectations, or protective gear for that matter. (Ed is also, no matter how hard he tries, a bit bored at this point.)Series

Summary
“I moved to a new flat because I’ve just walked out on my wife of twenty five years. And our two children. Without telling them. Well, I left a letter, but it was brief.”
I started to think he’d hung up. Then he said “go on”.
*
A preposterous AU with a preposterous meet cute. Featuring Ed's terribly named sex shop, Stede being a proud ally of the LGBT community and surprisingly tame sex given the premise. Unbetaed.

Summary
Ed winks, and Stede can’t help the bubbling sort of laugh that rises up in him. It’s accompanied by a similar flash of heat, something that tightens in his gut until he’s helpless to stop himself, pushing into Ed, slotting their legs together so they’re practically sharing the same bit of space.
“I think I see something now,” Stede tells him, unable to stop smiling. Tugged free of the rail, his hands find purchase instead in the tough leather of Ed’s top, fisting in the warmed material, accidentally stroking over some tough piece he must be wearing beneath. “Maybe if y—”
“If the two of you don’t fuck off,” Izzy says, “I’m going to run you through on my sword at the same time, and you’ll die together.”
“Romantic,” Ed replies without missing a beat. “What do you think, Stede?”

Summary
“You,” BJ said aloud, as the hum of the hospital continued around them. There was no adequate end to the sentence. You have to wake up, so I can tell you I need you. BJ felt tears stinging his eyes as they formed, and he blinked them furiously away. He noted that someone had cleared the vomit from Hawkeye’s face, and the blood from his hair.
In another life, maybe, far into the future when the lines began to blur further, he thought he might have been meant to be a nurse, to take care with people who were beloved to someone, to clean their hair and their hands and to dress them in gowns and bedclothes. No more cutting, no more blood. He’d always thought Margaret would have done well in their shoes, but he never thought about taking hers. Or maybe it was all nonsense, and it was only Hawkeye whose troubles he wanted to smooth away.- Language:

Summary
"BJ keeps looking to Hawkeye, hoping he’ll get the message. He has to get the message, it’s spelled out so clear. Like lines in the sand. Like moving rocks in the middle of the night. Like words that mean something, if you look at them the right way."

Summary
“I can’t believe you’re leaving,” he says. “It’s dangerous, Caleb. You know you might not come back.”
He looks earnest and frightened and he’s tilting a little on unsteady feet like he’s about to crash forward and shatter the distance between them.
“You left first."
There is more than one kind of courage.

“Nurse, I dare you to kiss the prettiest person in the room. Not counting me.” Lardo pretends to flip a lock of hair over her shoulder. “We all know I’d smoke you bitches,” she adds, grinning. Her teeth flash in the low lighting, and she knocks back the last of her drink as the gathered group lets out joking boos.

Summary
The grainy cellphone photo on the cover of the magazine is of his own back, his red Samwell t-shirt. He's got a forearm braced on the wall, his other hand holding the face of someone small and blond, mostly blocked from view, who has his hands on Jack's chest and a blue hoodie tied around his waist. Emblazoned across the bottom of the cover are the words IS JACK ZIMMERMANN GAY? and it feels like someone just punched him in the stomach.

Summary
"You know I'd follow you anywhere, don't you? Straight into hell, if need be."
It's only right that that's the case, Ben thinks, since that's where he's going to get the two of them sent; if they aren't already damned. They haven't done anything, but thinking of, wishing for sin is as bad as committing it, that was what they'd been taught, and whatever he might do or say to throw off everyone else from the truth, he cannot lie to himself. He's definitely entertained less than pure or holy thoughts about his childhood friend. God help him, but he doesn't know when it started, or how to stop it. He's known Caleb Brewster his whole life, and Ben is all but certain he's loved him just as long.

Jack has the A, and he loves his boyfriend, and he's officially out to all the people he loves most, so there's really no reason for him to be feeling like this. He should be so, so happy.
