Summary
It was late on a wet Tuesday evening. The priest was curled up in an armchair with a glass of whiskey and a second-hand paperback copy of Great Expectations for company, when his phone lit up and buzzed against the coffee table.
Unknown number: are you still awake?
He stared at the screen in puzzlement for a moment before replying.
Me: I am, who is this?
Unknown number: the hot brunette with the nice arse from the bar last Thursday
She attached a somewhat tasteful, fully-clothed photo of herself, taken at an imaginative angle, looking over her shoulder into the lens with a knowing twinkle. The priest was forced to agree with her self-assessment of her attractiveness and the quality of her arse.
Unknown number: I've got a bottle of limoncello and a value sized jar of coconut oil, want to come over for a memorable evening?
Shifting uncomfortably in his chair, he blinked a few times and very firmly suppressed the urge to reply in the affirmative.
Me: I'm afraid you've got the wrong number, but I hope you have a lovely time.

"Yes," Fred says. It's not even the worst thing Sam has had him go along with today. "A virgin. I am. No sex. Ever." His voice goes squeaky at the end.

Summary
“That’s a code orange,” Grantaire said, staring as Bahorel floated over to the bridge to check it. “Immediate return.”
The crew of the Musain rejoins the Corinthe to discover that Enjolras was trapped in an impossible room on an abandoned spaceship for what was two hours to everyone else, and eight and a half months for him. While he was in there, not expecting to see any of them ever again, he wrote each of them a farewell letter.

Orange is the new red by Pigsinspaaace for standalone

Summary
Once upon a time, there was a college freshman named Enjolras. Our story begins with him thinking about Grantaire. Because, well, that happens a lot. But don’t tell him. Either of them, actually. They’re not ready to know.
(Oh, also, this fic has nothing to do with prison. R/Enj just always sounds like orange in my head, and red is Enjolras' color, and so.)

“It’s not for long,” Hermione said. “By the time we get back to Hogwarts, the Unfettering Brew will be ready.”
“Listen to you!” Ron said. “He’s got to get through a month with the Dursleys and a month at Malfoy Manor. With Draco Malfoy.”
“Yeah, thanks,” Harry said, because he hadn’t just spent the last week contemplating just how much more horrible his summer holidays were about to be than they’d ever been before.

Summary
More or less canon compliant, in that uncomfortable way that worshipful first fanfics so often are.
I got fangirl for Christmas and fell in love and then read Carry On and fell in more love and then finished Carry On and felt annoyed. That was it?! What happens next? And why was Baz so mean? On Christmas, right afterwards. At the ball. Does he understand Simon at all? And I was still upset about Penny leaving him for Christmas. And when was Simon going to figure out how unforgivably cruel he'd been for years, threatening to expose poor Baz, who was trying to figure out how to be a vampire without murdering his fucking roommate who was making it really, really hard.
So, yeah. Then there was this.

Really excellent voices in this story, and a version of Bertie/Jeeves love in which I can believe and for which I can cheer.

“Behold R, sad again. You told me last time that I was too loud to be sad; what would you do with my melancholy now, Enjolras?” He looks up. His eyes are very green.
Enjolras throws back his drink. “I’d ask you to fuck me,” he says. “That’s what I’d do with it.”
