Harry headed for Sydney, Australia for two weeks of fun and a last hoorah before subjecting himself to another four years of schooling. He thought it would be a fortnight of bumming around on the beach while drinking fruity cocktails, and maybe a cheeky handjob here and there. What he didn't expect was Louis Tomlinson.
Or an AU where Louis works at a beachside bar and Harry is gone from the word go.

Being friends with Mai Zenin has always been a challenge, but there's benefits to it as well. Kasumi likes to think they're actual friends though and not simply using each other. After all, she supports herself and doesn't live off the charity of the questionable family riches of her best friend.
It's tough to convince someone of that fact when the only opinion they have of the Zenins is negative, but she really wishes the tattoo artist doing work on her would listen to her.

Summary
"Because I love this place and I love the way it makes me feel.” Seonwoo looks at him. Heeseung arches a brow at him.
“Like I matter,” Seonwoo adds, leaning towards him. “Living in places like this makes me feel like I have a purpose.” He tilts his head back and looks up at the clear, cloudless blue sky. It won’t be long before the sky stops looking like this and instead is constantly crowded with gray, overcast clouds as the weather turns and fall moves in. “You can’t see the stars in the city with all the light pollution, but you should try it while you’re here. Looking up at the stars can make you feel so small but living here reminds me that there’s a place in the world for all of us.” Seonwoo looks at Heeseung again, who looks caught between unsure and intrigued. “And mine is here.”
“You think so?” Heeseung asks.
“I know so,” Seonwoo replies.

Buck’s eyes fall shut, something pained and vulnerable sliding into the bend of his eyebrows. “I’m…I’m with Taylor now,” he says, barely a whisper.
And Eddie’s been doing a pretty good job at being brave about all of this, at not flinching away from Buck’s rejection, but that hits and burrows.
“Okay.”

Summary
Eddie’s been back at work for about two weeks—his time after quitting had passed in a seemingly idyllic week of spending time with his son which got rudely interrupted by a full-scale mental breakdown that ended with tears and hugs and Buck lovingly bullying him into going to therapy again. Then therapy had brought even more tears and confusion and slowly ballooning financial concerns that culminated in Eddie undertaking the frankly painful process of reapplying to the LAFD and completing an equally painful remedial training course.
And everything was fine until—Eddie started having a problem.

"Though—and I know you probably don't want to talk about it, but since you and Natalia are over with now, I've been wondering…" Maddie pauses, watches Buck make a face like he's bracing to be smacked. "What happened with Eddie?"
Buck stops wincing and just blinks at her for a second. Then he says, "What?"
"You two were dancing around it for so long, and then… what, it just didn't work out? Was the date really that bad?"
She's expecting another wince, or even for him to duck out of the conversation entirely, but instead Buck is staring at her like she's grown a second head. "Maddie. I've never been on a date with Eddie."

Eddie’s gaze drop to Buck’s lips—pink, like his birthmark. Eddie wants to taste those lips, and he wants it with a fierceness so sudden it shocks him.
“I’m, uh,” Buck stammers. “Last night. When you saw me and Tommy…we—we were on a date.”
Everything inside Eddie goes still. If his heart is a kite, then this is the moment it plummets back to earth.
or, Buck tells Eddie some news. Eddie has a realization and breaks up with his girlfriend. Not necessarily in that order.

Eddie can’t move. Like this, Buck is illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the window; dust motes shimmering around his head, his hair haloed in gold. Beautiful, Eddie thinks. And to his surprise, he doesn’t feel any sort of guilt about doing so.
Except — he should. Because Buck is dating Tommy, and he’s happy, and Eddie would rather go to his grave repressed and miserable than ever take away from Buck’s happiness.
Or: Eddie starts to untangle his complicated feelings about himself, and Buck. Mainly Buck.
