Summary
Evan Buckley’s life sucks.
Ok, so maybe that’s not completely true. He has a sister who he thinks the world of, a beautiful niece who is just the most perfect kid that ever walked the planet, a group of friends who have become family and have saved his neck more times than he can count, and he has parents who love him no matter what idiotic, harebrained stunt he pulls, even though they’re not biologically related. He has a comfy apartment in a nice part of LA, an active social life, and a secure job which means he can pay all his bills and have enough left over to spend on things he doesn’t really need but does anyway to fill the gaping void that hadn’t been in his life a year ago.
Because a year ago he had the job of his dreams. He was doing something good, helping people, serving a higher purpose and making a difference. He was saving lives.
And then Freddie Costas blew him up.Or
5 times Buck crushes on the hot single dad who brings his kid to Buck’s junior book club at the library, and the 1 time he does something about it.

Summary
“But why wouldn’t I be?” Eddie asks. It’s not something he has to think about for long – he’s never desired Marisol that way, even though he knows he should. “She’s beautiful, I really like her, why don’t I want to sleep with her?”
“Well, I’m afraid sexual attraction isn’t logical. No one is attracted to everyone, Eddie. But,” he gives a little nod, and Eddie braces for whatever is about to hit him, “since it sounds like you weren’t particularly sexually attracted to your previous girlfriend either, it might be worth looking into some other possibilities.”
“Like what?” Eddie asks nervously.
“Well, it could be that they’re both women, and you’re not actually sexually attracted to women.”
Eddie swallows. “But– I have a kid. I can’t be– I can’t be gay.”
“One doesn’t negate the other,” Frank says patiently. “I’m not saying you are gay. I just think it could be enlightening to examine whether or not you have felt sexual attraction towards men. And if you haven’t – there’s also the possibility of asexuality.”

Summary
He completely pulls the charger from the wall as he fumbles to put in his passcode. He doesn’t know who to call first. Everyone is busy, carrying on with their lives and Buck is stuck here in the loft with the terrifying ghost of his childhood like an omen. Out of the corner of his eye he catches the Crooked Smiled Man now standing in the dark entrance way to his bathroom. He swallows around the taste of blood in his mouth, hands shaking, useless as his list of contacts blur beneath the burn of tears.
Eddie Eddie Eddie
He doesn’t know where the feeling comes from, but it’s sudden and sharp and excruciating. Eddie is the first name at the top of his list, his most recent calls and texts, and he doesn’t hesitate to hit the call button.

Summary
After Christopher comes back from Texas, Eddie makes an important decision: he is not going to blow up his life anymore. He will not be making mistakes, he will not be screwing up, he will not be having emotional affairs with the doppelgänger of his dead wife. He is going to be logical. Make good decisions. Use the strategies he’s learned in therapy even though he’s complained to Frank a million times that breathing exercises only piss him off more. Still, he’ll do them, because he is a logical, rational person. Or, at least, he is from now on.

Summary
Christopher starts shaking more violently then. “Buck jumped back in the water for me.”
There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT. Eddie is used to knowing what to do, and how to do it; who to help, and where. Yet now, hopelessness splits through him like a bullet. Eddie doesn’t know what else to do other than hold his kid tighter and press his lips to his temple.
“Is that– Christopher?” Hen asks over his shoulder. The tiny pocket of universe that he’s created with just him, his son, and Buck’s name battering in his chest unravels.
Still keeping Christopher in his arms, Eddie rises to his feet. “I made Buck watch him for the day to get him out of the house. He– he brought him to the pier.”
“Where is he, Eddie?” Bobby asks carefully.
There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT, but not for this.

Summary
In a world where witchers were created with a built-in second chance when a normal man would die, Geralt believes he killed one of his brothers in the Tournament and refuses to cause the death of another witcher ever again. This might mean a lot more time rescuing his fellows, but also a lot more people who will come when the battle with the Wild Hunt finally calls.
Basically a retelling of Witcher 3 game with a lot of liberties taken. Almost everyone not met in game is inspired by inexplicifics' works one way or another, though none of them match exactly after they mutated these last two months of nonstop writing.
Written for the AWAU Fan Server Prompt Fest (Summer 2023) Prompt 3 "Animal Transformation". Though ultimately prompts 1, 4, and 5 all sort of snuck in there too. The first chapter was going to be a standalone thing, but then the story just kept coming, so I figured I'd finish it instead of making it a series.

Summary
On her way home one night, under the guise and protection of Ladybug, Marinette finds herself stopped outside the Agreste mansion, staring up at Adrien's window. How she made it from the street to his room is beyond her, but she can talk to him as Ladybug in a way she can't as Marinette, and he listens, and the temptation of him and his window are too hard to stay away from. Naturally, her temptation can only lead to angst, confusion, fluff, and sin, reaching towards every corner of the love square.

"You'll change your mind one day," says the innkeep. "The road can't love you back."
What a strange way to flatten something so beautiful, Jaskier thinks. What a small way to love.
Or: When Jaskier is hit with a curse that prevents him from having sex, he's lucky that the first person he meets is a Witcher. It's even luckier that Jaskier is used to hitting the road, because Geralt isn't waiting up.

Summary
Since he was a child, since Lan Wangji had first become aware of his own alienating effect on others, he has long resigned himself to a loveless marriage. Perhaps even a companionate one, so long as his partner was agreeable and unbothersome and let him have his own space.
He could not have even begun to predict Wei Wuxian.

Summary
“I’m not here to help you with your work,” said Lan Zhan, injecting frost into his voice to deter any further attempts at charm. “I’ll be focusing on my research.”
Wei Ying cocked his head. “Research?” he said.
“Mm. I’m a cultivation researcher, not a department employee. I’m reconstructing the ancient musical cultivation techniques of the Lan clan.”
___
Lan Zhan’s new liaison at the Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department is an enigma – ridiculously talented, yet somehow content with mopping up spiritual pests for barely above minimum wage. Wei Ying is slapdash and irresponsible, and Lan Zhan doesn’t like him at all… but then he meets A-Yuan, who loves music and longs for a piano his father can’t afford.
Forced into cautious friendship by a four-year-old's music lessons, Lan Zhan soon realises Wei Ying is more than he seems. The single father is a man of many secrets – including, perhaps, the key to Lan Zhan's life's work. And in the meantime, the background resentment in Caiyi Town is rising to dangerous levels…
