Summary
Nancy didn’t know when it began. It had always been this way for her, even as a kid. As far back as she can remember in her childhood it had always been like this - she had always been like this. It was normal for kids to have stupid crushes on actors and celebrities they see on the television, Nancy had spent countless hours listening to the other girls in middle school rant about how smokin hot this new actor was.
Nancy understood this, and even found herself admiring some of the guys she’d see in movies - that wasn’t the problem; the problem was that Nancy couldn’t help but admire the girls she saw as well. No matter how hard she’d tried to focus on sharp jawlines and glistening abs, her mind - and eyes - continuously fell back into admiring full lips and big round eyes.
Nancy Wheeler liked girls just as much as she liked boys - that was the problem.
OR
In which Nancy Wheeler falls in love with Robin Buckley and says 'fuck off' to internalized homophobia.

Summary
Returning to school for his 6th year had certainly been interesting, suddenly his brother's best friend seemed to take an interest in him. Their first meeting had been accidental, Regulus was simply stargazing on the astronomy tower after curfew when James stumbled upon him. It was awkward of course; with James' hatred of the Black family - minus Sirius - and Regulus blaming James for taking his brother away. So they didn’t speak, only stared at each other awkwardly for a few moments before James slowly started backing away towards the door.
After that first meeting it seemed like fate kept pushing them together in any way possible. Soon they were bumping into each other in the corridors, or one of them would find their eyes straying towards the other in the great hall, and multiple times they stumbled upon each other at the astronomy tower.
Sometimes they’d immediately part ways, avoiding eye contact and rushing away from each other; but other times they’d pause for a few moments and just stare awkwardly before leaving. Until one night when James found Regulus reading on the astronomy tower, instead of going back to wherever he came from, James spoke.

Summary
There is no such thing as a guarantee when it comes to war.
The outcome's known. Why try?
Return your rusty sword to battered sheath,
bow your head and bend your stubborn knee. Why
take the field when you cannot win the war?
But Harry -- he went down to Agincourt.

Summary
As a grease monkey turned college freshman, Dean's constantly three seconds away from being stressed out of his mind. It hardly helps that he's finally figuring out his sexuality in his thirties.
What might help with that stress is a little phone number (and a big credit card bill). If he can't figure out how to be bisexual in person, he can at least give it a go over the phone, right?
(It's probably a bad idea, but he really can't help himself.)

Summary
“You will show me the story of your life. Every time you blink, you will jump forward in time. It could be five minutes or five years. That is out of my hands.

Mihawk is dead. The ferryman reviews his life to see if he is worthy of Heaven or Hell. As he cycles through his memories, Mihawk recalls his biggest regret—a red-haired man named Shanks.
