short fuse if you light my fire by lescousinsdangereux

Summary
“Yeah, unless I don’t finish my degree.” It’s a grumpy little mumble, barely meant for Yelena, but she responds to it nevertheless.
“What do you mean?“ she demands. “You only have a small amount of time left! Why would you stop now?”
“I don’t know,” Kate murmurs, and Yelena is bewildered to hear a faint echo in her own emptiness, coming from nearly six thousand kilometers away. “I just don’t really know what to do now, I guess. Clint says I’m the new Hawkeye, but that’s not official or anything. And even when it is, it’s going to be a lot of training. So I’m waiting to wait, or something, and — and I don’t know why I’m talking to you about this, actually.”
“Sometimes, it’s nice to just talk,” Yelena thinks and then says. “But I don’t think you should drop out of school, Kate Bishop. School is cool.”
/
(Yelena decides to go to college. It just so happens to be the same one Kate Bishop attends.)

Summary
“She’s not my girlfriend,” Greta hisses, even as she watches the game, watches Carson leading off second base, the focus in her jawline, the flex of her calves, that stupid cap on her head.
“Oh really?” Maybelle leans over Jess. “Then why are you drooling?”
Greta’s face goes hot. “I’m not fucking drooling!” she hisses. “Carson and I work together.”
“Yeah, I’m sure you do lots of things together,” Jess quips, proud of themself.
Swallowing hard, Greta steels her resolve. They’re getting too close to the truth. She has to remember the rules she and Carson drew up in the back of class once – they should have been taking notes, but Carson’s hand was on her knee, her thumb drawing circles, so she spent most of class just doing her best to keep a clear head.
“Really, Carson and I are just friends,” she says, firm. “She has a boyfriend.” And that part is true at least. Carson isn’t her girlfriend; that’s Greta’s entire problem.
(Or, a modern-take on the affair and how it might play out if they were allowed more choices, for better or for worse. The one where they're in college, they're co-workers, they can't keep their hands off each other + they just really need to get their shit together.)

Summary
“Friends do not do what you and Rio did. And you and I certainly never have.”
“Me and Rio had—” Agatha pauses, her eyes sliding over to Teen, who has stolen one of her gelt and is nibbling on it, “—s-e-x one time. And then decided to be friends. Just friends. And have been friends ever since.”
"I’m seventeen,” Says Teen tiredly, “I know how to spell sex."
*
Or, after having sex once (or like three times, but who's counting, definitely not Agatha) Agatha and Rio decide to be friends. Just friends. They are amazing at it, obviously.

Summary
“So that’s why I bring Violet Wickett up,” says the first, feminine voice, “because there’s two things that have defined Vi her entire career. How hard she plays as a forward, especially on defence, and her rivalry with Caitlyn Kiramman.”
“See, if I’m Mel Medarda, I’m not even giving Wickett another glance. I’m taking Kiramman with my first pick and grabbing from the end of the Ironfist’s bench.”
“That’s what makes this so delicious, though, Jack. Mel Medarda can get both of them.”
--
Hockey AU. The RHL is expanding, and both Caitlyn and Vi are up for grabs, their rivalry being a well documented storyline in the RHL for twelve years. What happens, however, when they're both taken to a new team? What happens when a relationship forged in belief of only seeing each other once in a while on road games is faced with playing beside each other every day?

“We created it. But, biologically, it’s identical to any other. I have the same need for sleep, food, water.”
“Created it, huh?” Ava leaned a shoulder against the doorframe. “Based on what?”
“Input from our limited data on earth. We developed a cache of features and arranged them.”
“Ah, like create a Sim.” Ava nodded. At Beatrice’s blank look, she said, “It’s an earth game. We’ll play sometime. And, um, you know. You guys did a great job. At arranging.”
“Thank you.” Beatrice blinked. “It was designed to be aesthetically pleasing.”
“So you’re hot on purpose.” She blew out a long breath. “Honestly, thank God. That’s kind of relieving. I was worried I was—”

Or,
Beatrice is an alien researcher looking for information on earth. Ava, as it turns out, has a lot to teach her.

Summary
Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.
or
the one where the halo imprints on beatrice like a duckling and is dead-set on making it ava’s problem

Summary
“If this is a crazy Helioic cult, wouldn’t it have been better to find some nice lady spy to come with you? Or literally any one of our female friends?”
“Adaine’s too recognizable, Fig’s taken, and Kristen has a mullet.” Riz ticks them off on his fingers. “Besides, having a male partner makes me an outsider. It gives them something to sink their teeth into.”
“I see,” Fabian says with a grin, “I’m bait.”
“You’re not bait.”
“I’m set dressing,” Fabian amends, taking another slice of pizza. “I’m honored.”
[OR Riz is tasked with taking down a cult from the inside, and Fabian is along for the ride.]

Summary
Nobody fantasizes about kissing goblins in the moonlight, or taking them out on ice cream dates after class. Especially not beautiful half-elves on the bloodrush team, who could have anybody they wanted (and probably do). It's the beginning of a bad joke. A goblin and a half-elf walk into a tower...
And the goblin ends up slain on the floor while the half-elf walks out with the princess.

“Want to play Twenty Questions?” asked Sabina.
Jane’s expression went through most of the stages of grief in the time it took her to whip out a hand and clap it across Sabina’s mouth. “We’re in a firefight!” she hissed.
“Wf wurg n uh fuftight,” said Sabina, from behind the hand. Nope, that wasn’t going to work. Thinking tactically, she licked Jane’s palm. Jane snatched her hand back in disgust.
“I said, we were in a firefight. What we’re in now is a closet. And I haven’t heard anything from outside for a quarter hour, so I’m pretty sure they’ve given up and gone to look for us somewhere else. So. Twenty Questions?”Bookmarked by nerdynelly
