Summary
If Beverly wasn’t setting him up for the world's meanest prank, then she was telling the truth. And so was Stan, so was Mike. Eddie’s feelings for Richie were mutual. All this time orbiting each other so carefully, not knowing where the other stood, not wanting to make the first move and risk ruining everything. In truth, they have only ever delayed the inevitable.
And Eddie had decided that he was done waiting.
“The track shorts are a good idea,” Bev muses over the phone, looking far more contemplative than she should while trying to get her friends laid. “I think he likes those cute red ones best.”

Summary
"Right." Eddie's not sure what to think. "Well, thanks, for sticking up for me." Eddie's also not sure if he means that, but it feels like something he should say.
"Yeah, 'course," Richie replies. "You're my sister's best friend."

Summary
“You’re not boning, though, right?” he says, suddenly. He doesn’t know why he feels such an urge to bring it up again, as if the thought of Mike boning is not something that is CODE RED #1 at the top of Will's list of things to absolutely never think about. But also. Look–
“What? No, of course I’m not boning,” Mike splutters, turning a violent shade of scarlet, “how would I even hide that from you, I’m with you all the time–”
And then he falls silent, so fast that Will gets tonal whiplash from how fast Mike just went from saying boning over and over again to just clamping his mouth shut and staring at the wall across from them.
Will's trying his hardest to make it through fall semester in one piece. Unfortunately for his degree, he's being haunted by maybe-feelings for his best friend (metaphorically), and also a maybe-ghost with rather abysmal fashion sense (literally).

Summary
Enid paused her studies, quit her job, broke up with her boyfriend, and generally blew up her life to take a gap year backpacking around Europe. By chance, she meets Welsh grad student Wednesday Addams on a train to Munich.
-
When Wednesday pulled back, their foreheads still pressed together, she licked her lips. Enid wanted to whimper. She wanted to fall to her knees.- Language:

Summary
“It’s quite refreshing, actually. My parents were always strict on table manners, it’s a nice change of pace. You’re clearly, uh— devoted. With food, I mean.”
Vi suppresses a snort. Who the fuck says devoted?
“Yeah, it’s probably a prison thing, although I wasn’t much better as a kid either.”
Caitlyn blinks, taken aback, “Oh, sorry, I wasn’t trying to—”
“It’s cool, don’t worry.” Vi dismisses her quickly.
OR
Vi is navigating her way back into life. Caitlyn just happens to be her stress-baking neighbor.

Summary
“Sure, I'll do it,” Nat agrees. Against her better judgement, maybe, but fuck it—she’s never been one for smart decisions, and she won't start now. “I'll be your arm candy, rage bait, whatever. Just don’t go falling in love with me or anything.”
The corner of Lottie’s mouth curls upwards, showing her crooked tooth. “I’ll do my best.”
She holds out her right hand, waiting. Nat reaches out and takes it, and there: an agreement struck by words, bound by skin. Down the hall, across sun-drenched tiling, the shadows of tree branches stretch out like antlers below them.

Summary
Caitlyn was remarkably sensitive about her neck.
Even before the car accident that damaged her eye and gave her whiplash, it was a trait from childhood slowly carved into stone with turtlenecks and chokers, followed by protective jewelry when she was old enough to buy her own. She winced if it was brushed by someone doing her hair, urged lovers away whether they used fingers or lips, insisted on putting on necklaces herself even if it took a moment longer. The sensation was always too much, impossibly too much.
Until Vi.

Summary
Sometimes they will go for weeks without speaking, tiptoeing passive-aggressively around one another until one of them—usually Griddle—breaks the layer of ice with a bowl of unseasoned rice or the rental of a classic horror film. And then the lid is placed back on the pressure cooker, and the waiting starts all over again.
It usually leads to blows. Sometimes it leads to other things. But it always ends the same way. Someone pulls away, someone tries for the wrong block in the tower, and everything comes clattering down with force.
Or:
The one where Palamedes lends Harrow a book he thinks she might find interesting. It’s not as though she has to tell him if she actually reads it. It’s probably nonsense anyway.

Vi can't help herself. She's wanted to kiss Caitlyn since the cab ride over this morning, and she can't handle being slightly drunk and frustrated and turned on, and still expect herself to have any sort of restraint when Caitlyn's mouth is right there. So she pulls her in and Caitlyn does absolutely nothing to fight it, just falls against Vi and kisses her for so long that the bartender has to threaten to kick them out just for them to stop.
au; Caitlyn invites Vi home for Christmas and it shocks them both when Vi says yes

"Your uniform," Caitlyn said, clipped, turning away again in her chair.
Vi stared at the single piece of her uniform lying on the desk.
A blue dog collar, its buckle a shining gold, the Kiramman family crest as its tag.

Summary
Stokely went west for college just because everyone expected her to go east. Zeke was the one who was supposed to end up in California, with groupies. She sent essays off to three schools and figured that if she didn’t get into any of them, she’d slit her wrists, which would have at least shocked anyone who'd still been paying attention to her.

Summary
“You didn’t drop your towel in the pool on accident, did you.”
The woman shakes her head. Her eyes fall causally down Vi’s torso.
“I was going to ask if you’d like to fuck when we came in but, um, you were right about the pool water.”
Vi’s mouth lolls open for a second before she pulls it together and says, “Now’s fine.”/
Vi's old habits don't fit the same way they used to, and Caitlyn isn't very good at running from herself. In other words, they fuck on a Sunday night in June, and it doesn't mean anything. Right?

Summary
In the remnants of the Empire, Harrowhark Nonagesimus, former Reverend Daughter and Ninth Saint to serve a dead lord, doesn't know what to do with herself, let alone her former cavalier. So she responds by doing the only thing she can think to do: pushing her away, so they'll both have the chance to start fresh, with the promise that she'll come find her again when she's ready.
It takes some time, and tears, and trials. Quite a lot of all those things, if she's honest; healing is messy work. But slowly, slowly, she starts to get there. And when she's ready to make good on her promise, all there is left for her to do is find out whether there's still someone waiting for her.
Or, a tryptich about love lost, unearthed, and reconstructed.

Summary
“I am not having this conversation, Vi.” Her accent thickens with the bite of aggression and it is far too hilarious hearing it betray her.
Vi can’t hold back her laugh. “That's a yes. Definitely a yes.”
“You're acting awfully curious.” Caitlyn's posture is a study in posh rigidness as she huffs. “I'll put you in them. If that's what you'd like.”
“Oh– me? No.”
OR
Vi finds a pair of handcuffs in Caitlyn’s nightstand. It ends how you'd expect it to.

Summary
Caitlyn observes from the wall as Vi runs the routine, then comes over. She touches Vi’s lower back. Pushes, gently, guiding Vi through a rotation of her hips. Vi’s lower half lights up like a fork in a socket.
“It comes from here,” Caitlyn says. “Not so much the legs. Try it.”
Vi misses Caitlyn’s hand when she steps away. She follows the phantom push until she’s completed the sequence.
Tilting her head, Caitlyn says, “Better, but you’re stiff. Do you feel sexy?”
Vi’s been surrounded by gorgeous women every day, women with bouncier hair, longer legs, more graceful relevés. And instead of admiring them, she’s competing with them. So, no. Vi does not feel sexy.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders AU. Vi's trying out for the most elite cheer team in the country, but even a lifetime of dance couldn't prepare her for what she finds in Dallas: fierce competition, unrealistic beauty standards, and an unfortunate crush on cheer captain Caitlyn.
