Summary
You just like fixing things. Putting in the elbow grease. The Kineema. Your clothes. Your bike. Your apartment. The world. Harry is something you can fix, if you’re patient and methodical and uncompromising. He’s like old leather, soaking up the polish under your hands and taking on a shine.
Fixing things is, for you, also a little bit about the power.

Summary
Kim Kitsuragi is thirty years old. He's depressed, worn down, and at his wits end working juvie. For one night, he allows himself to indulge in the homo-sexual underground, a vice he only partakes in when nothing else will keep him sane.
Harry Du Bois is thirty-one years old, and the happiest he's ever been. Sure, he drinks excessively, works for the 'bloody murder unit' and is losing the physique he worked so hard for as a gym teacher. But he's dating the love of his life, finally found his purpose, and is stable, finally, after years of treading water. But he still has urges. Life, the good life, is stiffling.
So occasionally, he retreats back into the underground, and allows the animal in him to dance to disco music.Series

Summary
His legs start running before his brain has fully realised the threat.
A little part of him is pleased. Elated, even. He's been here before. He knows how this goes, by now: if he doesn't run, it will be worse. The pain will be worse with less of the pleasure – just use and no payment. But if he runs...

Summary
“Do you think psychopaths can fall in love?”
Stiles blinks and slants his head, studying Derek's face, eyebrows drawing in a fraction as he considers his answer.
“I think true love requires empathy, which people with antisocial personality disorders tend to lack. But to answer your question, yes. It may be their version of what they believe love is. If they’ve convinced themselves it’s true, it is.”
Derek hums in response with a short bob of his head, holding Stiles’ gaze.
“Is that what you’ve gleaned so far, if psychopaths can love?” Stiles asks him, his tone curious.
Derek shrugs. “Some of it, yeah. It just seems like someone with so much passion would be capable of such a thing.”

Or, the one where Stiles is a cannibal, Derek is his loyal pet, and their depravity knows no bounds.
