Summary
Once, belied by the notion of a city teeming with other Russians, he spent the day going from bakery to bakery in New York City, trying to find a cake that would even come close. It was the dead of winter, and he blamed any teariness on the way the wind whipped at his face. He ignored texts from everyone but Shane.
--
Медовик (medovik) is a Russian cake made with layers of cake, cream, and honey.

Summary
“Ilya Rozanov,” Shane repeats slowly, letting himself taste the words. He grins. “Wow. You’re, like, a really good player. How come you’re in Canada for summer camp? Is that weird to ask? Sorry if that’s weird. I just meant-”
Shane is cut off by a hand on his mouth. He flushes.
“Too fast,” Ilya says. “My English… not good.”
“Sorry,” Shane mumbles into Ilya’s hand. Ilya grins and shakes his head, curls dancing, as he pulls his hand away.
“Is okay. Slow words. Okay?”
This year marks thirteen year Shane Hollander's third summer at Coach Marakov's elite hockey training camp. In attendance for the first time: Ilya Rozanov, visiting from Russia. Shane isn't the most sociable, and Ilya's English isn't the greatest, yet the unlikely duo soon become the best of friends.
It's just one summer, but it makes a world of difference.

Summary
“I can explain,” she rushes out, even though she has actually no idea how to explain.
“Yeah, can you explain why I found this out from a Twitter thread instead of from you?” Bobby says. He grabs his phone and pulls up a web page, then slides the phone over to Rumi.
She freezes.
It’s not some tell-all about her secret demon identity.
She looks down at the photo, taken by some resourceful paparazzo, of Jinu waving goodbye as he slips out the back of her condo building. In the background, blurry but still obviously her, is Rumi.

Five times people assumed Rumi and Jinu are together (and one other time entirely)

Summary
Busy working on his thesis and waiting tables, Andrew Minyard doesn’t have time to think about boys.
That doesn’t mean certain boys can’t be distracting, though, and between his cat-sitter who won’t stop flirting with him via post-it note and the new, unforgivably attractive kitchen assistant working at the restaurant, Andrew is very distracted indeed.

In Andrew's defense, blind dates are terrible and almost all of Kevin's friends are even worse.
Nine times out of ten, calling in a favor to get Aaron to switch and tank it for him would be fine.
Unfortunately, Andrew found number ten.

Summary
"I find myself wondering, sweet reader, when exactly someone will take a shovel to the back of this racist statue's metal head and begin dismantling our university’s scandalous love affair with the most problematic donors they could possibly find. I’m looking at you, President Zarkon, kindly remove your hand from the Republican Party’s dick. This is a liberal arts college for God’s sake."
When Galra University's Tumblr page, meant for football game updates and pleads for attendees for club meetings, is plagued by a mysterious writer determined to eviscerate every toxic part of the college, Lance is intrigued. When he becomes a leading character in the anonymous letters, well, he gets a little more curious. Lance becomes determined to unveil the writer and find out a) what is his problem exactly and b) does he really think Lance's eyes are that blue?
A tale in which Lance is oblivious and pining for the hot nerd in the back of his Greek mythology class, Keith can wield a pen with deadly cruelty, and you, dear readers, suffer from the pains of dramatic irony.

Summary
“I want to see him,” Andrew decides.
“They won’t let you,” Wymack tells him.
Andrew grits out, “They don’t get to decide that.”
Wymack’s eyes never stop searching him. “They do.”
Andrew can’t look at anything. He sounds awfully, condemningly and absolutely indifferent. “They don’t get to decide he’s dead.”
“They did,” Wymack says.
A hospital has never been so fucking quiet.
Or Neil dies in Baltimore but doesn’t quite leave. This a look into the complexity of Andrew’s trauma, grief, and psychosis that manifests itself as the undying ghost of Neil Josten. Reality and sanity are fragile concepts that Andrew isn’t too concerned about anymore; not if it means never letting Neil go, again and again and again. He made a promise, after all.

Summary
Andrew shrugs. “If you’re going to stick around, don’t insult me. Stand there and look pretty, or disappear and leave me alone.”
Neil laughs harshly. “Andrew, it’s me. I’m real. You’re not that crazy.”
“My dead boyfriend is in front of me, implying the FBI helped him fake his death.” Another drag. “I could use a different word, if you prefer. Psychotic, schizophrenic, delusional. Find me a thesaurus, would you?”
“Boyfriend,” Neil echoes.
“Whatever you were.” Andrew stubs his cigarette out on the step between his feet. “Whatever we were going to be if your father hadn’t disemboweled you.”
Neil is dead, until he isn't.

Summary
Andrew follows her line of sight to Neil’s crumpled form, and then another thought manages to clear the fog.
She intends to finish the job. The knowledge of this hits him harder than the blow to his shoulder.
Adrenaline dumps all at once in a flood through Andrew’s veins, dousing him like a bucket of water. It eclipses the pain entirely and fries his nerves into numbness. His pupils dilate, swallowing hazel with black, and he relinquishes his body to the base of primal instinct.
or: The Fight, from Andrew's point of view.

Bookmarker's Notes
Neil feels the laugh bubbling up like a trainwreck he can't stop, and before he knows it he's letting it loose. He wants to cover his mouth but it's too late; it's already ringing in the quiet kitchen, over the simmering water and fizzing coke and the crickets outside.
When he dares to look, Andrew's staring at him, spatula in one hand, with something new in his eyes.
Andrew asks, 'Are you ticklish?'FUCKKKKKK
