    Summary

    The song becomes background noise as the churning mass of feelings grows into something worse — something physical. It climbs out of his chest, greedily spreading to new areas like some kind of inane virus, no longer satisfied with the corner of his heart that he already allowed it to claim.

    He hates this. He fucking hates this.


    The music is shameless, the tension unbearable, and the things confessed after midnight? Dangerous.
    (Or: In which Shadow and Amy discover the Short 'n Sweet tour is very, very different from their last concert.)

    Based on the Sonic Twitter Takeover from Nov 2024.

    Summary

    “You okay, buddy?” Ryan asks as he clambers to the edge of the bed to hang over it and peer down at Shane.

    A new wave of shock freezes Ryan in place as Shane is peeling his lanky body up off of Ryan’s bedroom floor.

    Because Shane is propping himself up on his elbows and then wincing and reaching a hand to his shoulder blade.

    Because extending out and up and up from his tall pal’s broad back is a pair of huge, spectacular wings.

    since comments aren't available on this fic, i can only hope the author sees this someday ... this made me believe in wingfics. the soft jubilation pouring from this fic is just. gorgeous. i don't always go for things like this, but as a certified Gargoyle Enjoyer i was delighted to see this spin on the wings trope, plus a little angst, plus a little supernatural stuff? delightful. it's so warm, a little ethereal, a little chilly. so good. hi author if you're reading this i am a big fan of this fic and. yeah. thank you

    Summary

    "Who knows who he'll make me as I lie in his cocoon . . . I'm warm and terrified, he makes me so."

    The flyer asked for a "Ginger Baker type" drummer, but what Smile was really looking for was the next addition to Tim's new "project." After a day of unimpressive auditions, the band was starting to lose hope - that is, until Roger Taylor walked in. He took both Tim's and Brian's breaths away with his performance, and even more so, his appearance, charming his way into the band and, unfortunately, their hearts.

    A year goes by, and while the band's preparing for their first studio session, Brian goes missing. He won't answer any calls, and his neighbors haven't seen him in weeks. While Tim seems unbothered by it, brushing off Roger's concerns, the drummer can't help but worry and eventually finds himself in a situation he can't get out of—the same one as Brian.

    See what happens in "He Makes Me."
