    Summary

    Hal was angry about many things today: an alien invasion happening while breakfast-in-bed rituals were being enjoyed, Bruce knowing his Lantern ring's size like the freak that he is, and the fact that all of this was happening while he was wearing pink flannel pajamas under his uniform, and his breath still smelled like barely-10-second mouthwash about 2-hours into the fighting and the rescuing.

    Bruce apparently think it's the most romantic thing they could be doing...

    ...that fucking loser.

    Summary

    Hal Jordan was dying long before a mission went wrong and his heart finally gave out.

    He was dying when he signed the divorce papers. Dying without making it anyone else’s problem.

    No one Noticed.
    Not Bruce. Not Clark. Not the Justice League.

    And Hal was fine with that because twenty months ago he signed away the right to have anyone worry about him.

    He would have kept it that way, too If he hadn’t burned himself out saving the world. If he hadn’t collapsed hard enough that everyone finally had to look.

    Now Bruce and Clark are hovering like they never spent nearly two years avoiding him. Acting like this is their burden to carry, like they didn’t already decide, once, that letting him go was easier than staying.

    Hal doesn’t understand it. There’s no cure. If Oa hasn’t found one, there’s no point in pretending otherwise. He’s made peace with dying.

    Bruce and Clark haven’t.

    They refuse to give up on him the way they gave up on the marriage. And that more than the poison in his blood or the ache in his chest is what hurts the most.

    Because Hal is still in love with them. And loving them while they fight to save him might be the one thing he can’t survive.

    Summary

    Hal Jordan is afraid he wouldn't be a good partner. He's afraid he wouldn't be a good father. He's afraid he'll fuck things up and doesn't even realize it.

    But with friends with benefits, he could get someone warm to hold at night and when the sun rises, they would part ways and never see each other again.

    That is what friends with benefits are supposed to be.

    Right?

    Then why is Hal living in Bruce's manor, eating his food and co-parenting his kids?

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne and Hal Jordan have been wildly in love for the better part of a decade. Not that there's a soul in the Justice League who could vouch for this. Not that there's a soul outside of Bruce's veritable menagerie of a family who could vouch for this.

    Eight years in, Hal walks away.

    (There is a gaping hole in Bruce's chest. He has no idea what to do about it.)

    Summary

    “I don’t think it’s stupid,” Neil says, and there’s that ache again, the kind that keeps haunting him. “Do you think you’re just – ordinary to me?”
    Todd doesn’t look him in the eye. “I didn’t say that.”
    “You don’t say a lot of things,” Neil points out, and Todd huffs something between a scoff and a laugh.

    Neil, Todd, and the intricacies of living together.

    Summary

    “I arranged for us—the four of us, you, me, Ginny, Chris—to go on a double date.”

    And then he set down his coffee cup, folded his arms, and kicked back in his chair, to proudly await his applause. Which, in part because Knox’s hands were busy, and in part because Knox was catatonic with shock, never came. In fact, of all the words Charlie expected Knox to respond with, they certainly weren’t—

    “You’re going on a date with Ginny?”

    “Yep! And you’re going on one with Chris!” He meshed his fingers together. “At the same time. It’s a double date—"

    “So you’re going on a date with Ginny.”

    Alternatively;

    Charlie arranges a double date for his best friend and the girl of said best friend's dreams. One small problem—he may have forgotten to specify who's going with who.

    Summary

    Dear T.A.,
    Your voice kept me company last night. You made me cry, in the best way.
    Please read Neruda next?
    —Neil (the 8AM guy)

    As a soft-spoken college student with too many thoughts and too little confidence, Todd finds solace in the quiet hours of his anonymous late-night poetry radio show, Between the Lines. He never expects anyone to really listen—until someone does.

    Neil Perry is everything Todd isn't: charismatic, popular, and the energetic host of Rise & Shine, the campus morning radio show that everyone adores. But when Neil stumbles across Between the Lines, he becomes captivated by the unseen poet who reads like he’s speaking straight from the heart.

    Sticky notes begin to appear. Song dedications follow. And as the snow falls heavier outside, two voices begin to find each other through the static.

    An Anderperry story about poetry, vulnerability, and falling in love with someone before you even know their name.

    Summary

    Knox Overstreet is not gay for Charlie Dalton.

    Sure, there's a lot of evidence to suggest otherwise, such as the fact that he feels a flutter in his stomach every time Charlie smiles at him, and the fact that he's constantly seeking physical contact with Charlie, but that's just normal, totally straight best friend behavior, right?

    Aka, in which Knox has feelings, denies said feelings, accepts said feelings, and vows to never tell anyone else about them.

    Summary

    “What you thinking about?” Todd prodded.

    “You.”

    Todds head snapped up, a strange choking noise breaking out of his throat. What had Neil just said? His mind was spinning. Why was Neil thinking about him? What did he say back? What did it mean? Nothing. It didn’t mean anything it was just a playful joke from his friend. His friend.

    “Good things, I hope?” Todd forced out. Aiming for casual, but ending up more in the realms of high pitched anxious stutter.

    Neil’s lips twitched.

    “Always.”

     

    OR in others words:
    Todd Anderson falls helplessly inconveniently and perhaps disastrously in love with his roommate.(And maybe - just maybe - Neil Perry falls too)

    Author Note :)
    So uhhh no clue if im going to be consistent with this fic - rn its just snippets probably out of order.
    IF this does well I may create a proper plot.

    Summary

    The classroom a theatre, his classmates the audience, everyone—everyone!—an actor—and he feels an irrational urge, right then and there, to stand up and speak. Something clenches in his chest, and elation hooks a chandelier over the dim, cold classroom lamps, and Neil becomes aware of a yearning, brighter and brighter, that implores him, begs on its knees to speak—and dear God—he wants, and wants, and wants so much that it clenches his hands into fists and his mouth into a line and squeezes life out of him, there to be found yet—and to be an actor, even miles away from a stage, is a prospect as heartbreaking as it’s possible, because now the stage is right in front of him and it’s almost pathetic, is pathetic, how much he wants to feel the words (drip from his tongue, like honey).

    —

    In which Neil’s father doesn’t let him audition for Henley Hall, but A Midsummer Night’s Dream features heavily in Welton’s literature lessons—and when a performance opportunity rolls around (disguised as Welton’s annual Open House ceremony), it prompts Todd into directing that very same play.

    And Neil, of course, wants to act.

    Summary

    Someone had taken a huge spoon and scooped the organs right out of his body, leaving him hollow. And yet he felt sick, gut churning as the world spun around him.

    His surroundings blurred until he was all that was left, him and the bottomless pit on his chest.

    And then there was a hand, on his shoulder. The weight of it enough to pull him out of his own head, just for a moment.

    “Todd? Hey.” Someone tried to get his attention, a familiar voice.

    Neil.

     

    or, they've been friends for a few months now, and Todd has been doing a good job at keeping his struggles hidden.
    That is, until one day he doesn't show up at lunch, and for the first time ever he's got people who notice his absence.

    Todd Anderson is a bestselling crime novelist. After publishing his third novel, he’s grown tired of writing murder mysteries. With the encouragement of his editor, he decides that his next novel will have mysteries of a different sort: medical mysteries. Trouble is, he doesn’t know anything about medicine.

    Dr. Neil Perry is an oncologist who, quite frankly, is bored with monotonous day-to-day work. Not even his favorite crime novels can keep his boredom at bay. So when his boss tells him that a famous novelist is going to be shadowing his work for research, he’s happy to help out!

    Or; to research his new novel, Todd shadows Neil's work. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    Todd Anderson wasn’t a fan of birthdays. The crowds, the attention; it was all too much. After Neil’s passing, birthdays were never the same again. But for someone who detests the day, Todd sure tends to have a lot of unforgettable birthdays.

     
    On his 25th birthday, he broke up with a girl he never truly loved because his heart still belonged to another.

    On his 26th birthday, he rekindled a bond that was repeatedly broken by achievements and competition.

    On his 27th birthday, he had a life-altering conversation with his greatest mentor.

     
    Or; a tale of love, grief, and sucking the marrow out of life, told across three unforgettable birthdays.

    Summary

    "Do you... do you like her, Neil?"

    The question hung in the air and Todd braced himself for the sharp, casual yes that would end his suffering.

    Neil didn't answer right away. He stopped fidgeting with his jacket and slowly pushed himself up from his desk chair. He walked toward the bed, stopping at the edge, looming over Todd. The distance between them, felt cavernous.

    "Does 'liking' mean having your stomach flutter when she walks into the room? Does it mean going completely silent, suddenly terrified you'll say something stupid? Does it mean the minute I found out you were out there on the dock, nearly freezing to death, the whole date became completely irrelevant, and all I could think about was getting you back into this room?"
