Summary
Han catches sight of her first. He climbs the next six steps with eyes on her, like he’s approaching a stray cat.
“Rey,” he says. “This is my son, Ben.” Her eyes flicker to Kylo Ren, face pink, eyes wet, and gaze intent on her. Then back to Han. “He’s coming home.”
Or
Ben goes with Han. And Rey isn't happy about it.

nothing safe is worth the drive (follow you home) by SummerFrost

Summary
Here's the deal: Buffy's got no idea how to beat Glory, or how they're gonna book it across the country in a moldy RV without anyone killing each other, especially now that someone broke one of the beds—and the thought of going home again kinda makes her wanna cry.
The one thing she knows is that Spike would follow her anywhere, even like this.

Summary
Buffy is ashamed of him, Spike knows. But when no one else is around, she touches him like she could love him.
(In which Spike makes a damn good cup of coffee, watches a sunrise or two, and plays confidant to a Slayer who thinks dying to save the world would've been easier than this.)

Buffy says, "No, but see, the thing is that good things look a lot like good things until you find out they're bad things, and I am really just full-up on bad things forever, thanks. Only lukewarm things for Buffy."
"That's the spirit, B!" Faith claps Buffy hard on the back, spilling some of William's coffee onto her shoes. "Let ole Willy warm ya up."
"Extremely not what I meant," says Buffy.AKA: The one where Buffy works at a coffee shop and William is her favorite customer.

Summary
"We can't, Sansa," his voice cuts through her colder than the North in winter, "it's not right."
He won't let her sneak into his bed anymore, nestled into the hollow of his throat where she feels safe, trembling and haunted by Ramsay's ghost.
It's another thing the Dragon Queen has stolen from her – and Sansa hates her for it.

Summary
Yelena feels Sonya’s eyes on her all the way till takeoff, and then she finally speaks. “Must’ve been really difficult to reach behind there with your one arm.” Sonya has her elbow on the armrest between them and is leaning on her palm, head turned towards her. “I am surprised you did that all by yourself.”
“I am very skilled, Sonya.” Yelena looks ahead, trying her best to not give anything away.
“Yeah…” Yelena glances to the side swiftly when Sonya trails off. “New body wash, too?”
“What?”
“You should wear more purple.”
She doesn’t spare her friend another glance.
or
Yelena better be grateful her heart is encased by her body, or it wouldn't belong to her anymore.

Summary
“Are you—” Kate starts, and then trails off, because — what in the hell. “Are you doing my taxes?”
Yelena’s smile is small, very pleased with itself, and so full of shit it’s a wonder Kate can’t smell it from here. “I’m just trying to help, Kate Bishop.” She uses a chopstick to point at a pile of forms. “Tax evasion is a serious crime, you know.”
or: five times Yelena helped Kate with something, and one time Kate tried to help her back

Summary
I grieved for my future self. Now that I felt this kind of relief flooding my body, my resolve cracked on the floor like glass, the pieces skidding under my own feet. I didn’t know how I would ever put it back together. But even more distressing, I didn’t know how I would be able to deny him. Our bond. That instinct within him and that had been growing in me infinitesimally each day I saw him, touched him, thought about him…
Because even though Emily had said theirs was triggered by a single moment, I had had a growing suspicion, no matter how much I tried to deny it, that ours was different. Gradual.
That, without even realizing it, I had stumbled into something I hadn’t meant to and was now caught in it. Like a web that fused to my own skin, indistinguishable.
And, finally, that any more than one more weekend with him would kill me, if I ever became a vampire. Would kill us. Swifter and harder and more agonizing than death at the hands of the Volturi could ever be.

OR an Eclipse re-write with everything we love: slow burn, angst, fluff, smut, and a new take on imprinting that isn’t gross. The first few chapters pull heavily from Eclipse, but the writing after those is primarily all my own!

Summary
She regrets the kiss much longer than a week.
This may be because Jeff clearly thinks it means something different than she intended, and it may be because, Troy's triumphant return notwithstanding, she really is moving on with her life and Jeff's inconvenient feelings are kind of harshing her vibe. But a Jeff Winger who's honest about what he wants is a remarkably seductive thing, and Annie's spin-off show may need a romantic lead after all.Bookmarked by overcomingthedark
