...and a partridge in a pear tree by strangehunger

Summary
“Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—
“It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”
And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.
So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.
Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.
Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

Summary
"Why are you calling me?" Éponine demands as soon as she answers Grantaire's call, her voice short and clipped. There's genuine concern lurking beneath the tone, though. "What happened? Your plane didn't explode, did it?"
"Unfortunately not." He's standing in the aisle, crushed between the over-cologned businessman in front of him and the man with shoulders like a linebacker behind as they all file forward, making glacial progress toward the front of the plane and freedom. "At this rate, I should be at baggage claim in twenty. Where's the nearest liquor store?"
She gives a laugh that's short and sharp and means she's more irritated than amused. "How the hell should I know? I'm your agent not your personal assistant, and I've never been to Boston before. Isn't that what your fancy smartphone's for?"
"My fancy smartphone is for being able to answer your emails while I'm in the air, or at line for Starbucks, or whizzing through the city in the back of a cab. Also for Candy Crush."

Gun It While I'm Holding On by vintagecassette
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo

Summary
Jesper gets shot, and Kaz is the one to find him bleeding all over the cobblestones. A fair bit of grumbling ensues — followed by a race to find help before it's too late.
---
Jesper’s eyes focused long enough for him to realize that Kaz’s skin was drained of color beneath those damned freckles. He looked almost like a ghost, framed by gray harbor waters and a gray sky to match. “You okay?” Jesper asked, and he was pretty sure he heard Kaz laugh. It was a dry, mirthless thing, but the sound was unmistakable.
“I’m fine.” Kaz’s voice was as steady as ever, but Jesper knew he wasn’t imagining the way Kaz’s hand trembled against his skin. “I’m not the one who’s been shot, you absolute podge.”

Summary
The sixth grader’s eyebrows ticked, like she was irritated by his response, and she had the scorchingly disdainful kind of look that only a middle schooler could pull off — the kind that said, you’re the stupidest person on the entire planet and I want to make sure that you know it.
“I’m coming back next summer,” Maya repeated, with extra emphasis, like he hadn’t appreciated the words properly the first time. “And if Ryan isn’t your boyfriend by then, I’m gonna put Nair in your shampoo.”
“Wha—”

OR: Dylan never expected to gain a nosy twelve year old for a nemesis at his summer job, but here they are.
