Summary
In a way, it was almost a relief to see that nothing had changed since school. Seasons came and went but Grantaire was still Grantaire: a bundle of too-tight nerves and awkward elbows, scratchy throat, furtive gaze bouncing everywhere it shouldn’t. Still nursing a fascination with the most dangerous-looking female in the area. A puppy dog panting after a wolf.
In 1957, female cartoonist Grantaire meets some interesting new people, joins a secret society, and attracts the notice of a woman named Enjolras. A 1950’s lesbian Amis AU.

John Watson is left-handed.
He’s tried not to let it affect his life, but as any Lefty knows, that’s almost impossible.

Summary
Joe and Nicky have made a life with each other in their little house in Amsterdam Centrum. There’s a koi pond in the back courtyard, fresh herbs growing in the windowsill, and art on all the walls. Things are uncomplicated.
Then, one day, Nile Freeman shows up at their door.

Summary
A dam bursts inside Nicky, and he is so swept away in the tide of his relief he admits everything. “I meant it,” he says. “Of course I meant it, I’ve fallen in love with you. Let me keep you. Let me stay with you. Marry me, Joe.”
“I thought I would spend my nights in darkness,” Joe tells him, and Nicky knows this about him, too, that he will not give a straight answer when a poem would do. “I thought I’d live on a pale shadow of what you’ve made me feel. But you – your smile could light up the darkest night, Nicolò. Your heart is so sweet, my love, you’ve captured mine so easily. I’ll stay with you for as long as you’ll have me.”
Nicky would blame the wine, he would blame the summer breeze, the beautiful view, temporary insanity, anything, but it would be a lie and he’s an honest man. If he’s drunk on anything, it’s Joe. If anything makes him shiver, it’s Joe. If there is any beautiful view, it’s Joe’s eyes, bright with tears and smiling at him. If he’s insane, it’s only love.
OR: The one where Joe and Nicky get married after knowing each other for two weeks.

Summary
"I wouldn't be depriving anyone," Nicky said regretfully. "Just myself. What did Luke say? 'Good luck finding someone who wants to be fucked by a battering ram'. I just don't think the guy who wants that is out there, Joe."
In a moment of supreme idiocy, and mostly because he was picturing getting fucked by Nicky's battering ram, Joe raised his hand.
Nicky stopped and stared.
"I volunteer as tribute?" Joe said weakly.

Summary
Joe's a millennial with student loan debt, a dead-end career as a personal trainer, and a lumpy futon for a bed. He's also the new immortal.

Summary
Breaking through the general chatter, the model called cheerfully, “Good afternoon, I’m Joseph, I’ll be your model for the day. I will be enacting a few different poses over the course of the class, I hope the muses are kind to you and I hope you are kind to me.”
“Depends on what you’re hiding under that robe,” a student called out.
Joseph only winked as he undid the belt of his robe. “The human body is never cause for shame,” he said, and let the robe fall to the floor.
Or: Three times Joe was a muse for someone else, three times he was inspired himself, and one time Joe's art inspired something very non-artistic

Summary
“Do you prefer the company of men or women?” Nicoló asks.
Yusuf continues coughing.
“Sexually,” Nicoló clarifies.
“I can’t say I have ever been asked so directly,” Yusuf huffs.
Unrepentantly, Nicoló shrugs.
“Men,” Yusuf mutters.
Or: 4 times Nicky came on to Joe very badly and Joe still hit that, and one time it was the other way around.

Summary
“Then why untie me?”
The man grins, terribly amused, and awfully affectionate. Andromache wants to look away, but for some reason, can’t. Maybe because the look in his eye reminds her of herself, a lifetime ago. “Because my beloved is soft, and kind, and will flay me alive if he’d known I tied up a woman.”

Summary
“He has a crush on him,” Joe says around a mouthful of carrots and points his fork at him for emphasis. To someone who once has had Joe’s scimitar rammed through his chest, it’s not exactly a terrifying gesture, but it still feels a tad more aggressive than Nicky thinks the situation warrants.
(In which archaeologists make a discovery, Joe is upset, and Nicky trolls historians.)

Summary
It’s unfortunate that Nicky was at the same nightclub as him tonight, that Joe spotted him across the room throwing back shots, that Joe was unable to look away from the long line of his throat. It’s even more unfortunate that Nicky caught his eye and smiled so fucking widely before coming over to greet him; there was no polite way to escape the interaction, and all Joe could do was match Nicky shot for shot.
Nicky’s hand was clumsy on his arm, Nicky’s breath was mostly vodka ghosting over his face, when he leaned close and asked Joe if maybe he’d like to get out of there.
Joe was drunk as fuck and unable to say anything besides, “Sorry, I don’t fuck Christian missionaries.”
(In which Nicky thinks the mission trips he went on as a teen are a net positive for the world and Joe has a problem with that. (Un)Fortunately, it's not enough to stop him from hooking up with Nicky.)

Summary
"I was just wondering what snacks or sweets Hanguang-Jun prefers with his tea."
Wei Wuxian laughs, opens his mouth, and then has the horrible realization that he really, truly, doesn't know.
It takes a moment to sink in. He's known Lan Zhan ever since he was fifteen, had saved the Cultivation world together with him twice over, is actually married to the man, and Wei Wuxian doesn't know what his favorite tea snack is.
