Summary
“I’m leaving,” Lydia tells her mom, who’s sitting on her laptop at the dining room table. From the angle Lydia can’t fully see the screen, but she’s pretty sure she’s shopping.
“Hmm?” Her mom hums, eyes not leaving the screen.
“I got into MIT. I’m leaving in August.”

Summary
Because Stiles – Stiles is a spark. A magical being of untold power, incredibly rare and it’s extraordinary that both he and Scott are in one pack; Scott being a True Alpha and all that, also incredibly rare. Not to mention that they’ve got a werecoyote, a kitsune, a banshee, and a hunter. Everyone has heard about the McCall pack, which makes the cloaking spell even more important.
Every spark – and he means every one ever in the history of magical documentation – has a werewolf mate, who’s supposed to help the spark both meet their potential and serve as an anchoring point. It’s not quite clear why, but Stiles guesses it’s mostly because Fate is a motherfucker who likes to do weird little things to fuck with mortal’s minds. So if sparks don’t naturally find their mates, it’s not highly unusual to have these meet-and-greets with various werewolves from all over the world; the cloaking spell was used because apparently only your mate could tell exactly that you were you and not a fellow werewolf.

Summary
But, well, now it’s five years later. They’ve got a new captain, and a lot (a lot) has happened in the last five years. She was briefly engaged and almost married, and she’s closer to the squad than she is with most of her friends. They know more about her than she thinks they even realize, and like Captain Holt said – they’re her family. She spends more time with them than anyone else, and she honestly enjoys and looks forward to going out with them.
And now – well, she’s been dating Georgiana for a good chunk of months. Actual months by now, and it’s the longest relationship Rosa’s had with a woman since college. And no matter how much she actually likes the rest of the squad, she’s never gonna be that person who overshares on personal matters and on her love life, so it’s not weird that she hasn’t told any of them about Georgiana yet.

Summary
Stiles is tired – so, so tired, he always is after a hunt, taking it out of him emotionally, mentally, and physically – but Lydia and Jackson and Allison and Scott and Malia and Kira are all in his apartment, de-escalating as they always do afterward. Not often for as long as this, but – with the brood here, with them helping out tonight, they’d decided to crash at his place for a while, talk about it.

Fandom Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV), Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, One Direction (Band), Teen Wolf (TV)
16 Dec 2018
Summary
Welcome to our second annual December lyrics challenge! This year's is only 15 days, but still full of hopefully exciting, fun, wonderful little fics at the ready.
In collaboration with DefaltManifesto, we each created a list of 15 lyrics from some of our favorite songs and sent them to each other to serve as inspiration for short fics, between 600-1500 words long each. Other than that, no rules; whatever fandom we wanted to write in, whoever we wanted to write about.
I hope you enjoy the ride.

Summary
It was a short twenty-minute ride, and then Stiles was stepping out onto the driveway of his childhood home.
“You got a new roof,” Stiles said, eyebrows rising as he took in the fresh shingles.
“Yeah,” his father grunted, wrenching Stiles’ luggage out of the trunk. “Tree landed on the house last year. I thought I told you?”
Stiles hurried over, reaching for his bags—only for his hand to get smacked away.
“I got it,” his father said firmly, like the idea of Stiles carrying his own luggage was some kind of insult.
Stiles rolled his eyes and shoved his hands into his pockets.
“Yeah, I think I remember now. Scott helped you fix it, didn’t he?”
Noah’s face brightened. “He did. Boy’s really made a good company for himself. Had to fight him to let me pay.”
Stiles’ smile slipped, memories settling heavy in his stomach.
They walked up the driveway. Stiles’ gaze drifted toward the garage, a thought sparking.
“Hey, Dad,” he said, scanning the driveway. “Where’s my baby Roscoe?”
Noah’s expression pinched. Uncomfortable. Guilty.
“About that…"

Summary
It was doomed from the start really. They knew that better than anyone. That didn’t stop them though, didn’t stop this unbreakable bond from forming. It didn’t stop them from falling in love from the first time they met. And it didn’t stop the blade that ended everything.
