“Hey, Ol.” Pacer steps into the room and Ollie feels his face involuntarily break into a grin in spite of his nerves. “Couldn’t sleep either?”
Ollie looks down at the cereal bowl in his hands and back up at Pacer, whose face is glowing softly in the twilight. “Was it that obvious?” he asks.
or two times Ollie and Wicks ended up in the kitchen together.

Summary
After Metatron steals Castiel's grace, and Cas comes to live in the bunker, Dean spends a lot of time with him, sharing all of his favourite things. Dean can't help it if sharing things with Cas just makes everything better. Besides, it's Dean's job as Cas' friend to introduce him to the joys of human life. To teach him how to be human.
And if one of the experiences they end up sharing is sex with women, well... that's just part of Dean's job as Cas' friend too, right?
The desire is triangulated, the rituals are intricate.
*
“You know you can’t turn Cas into a mini-Dean,” Sam said“First, if I did, Cas'd be all set, 'cause I'm awesome,” Dean said. “Second, that’s not what this is about. Cas needs to know how to get by in the world. He needs someone to teach him how to just be a guy.”
Sam’s face scrunched up. “He already is just a guy.”
“But he doesn’t know how to be one,” Dean insisted, like it was an obvious fact, and Sam was a little dim for not getting it.

Summary
The guy next door is very hot, with the sweetest and kindest smile Jin Guangyao has ever seen, and he seems to be, possibly, into Jin Guangyao. But with the acquisition of the Qishan Wen Corporation and all the other shit he has to do and deal with at the company, he doesn’t have time for a relationship. His neighbor is too good for him, anyway.
But somewhere between the opera and Jin Ling’s flute lessons Lan Xichen turns from a neighbor into his friend (his best friend, as pitiful as that thought is), and Jin Guangyao’s vague interest deepens into a crush so intense he has to do something about it.

Summary
As the weather grows colder, Adam suggests they move their meetings from coffee shops to his cozy one-bedroom. This strikes Michael as dangerously intimate, but he can’t come up with a reason to refuse, so he walks up the four flights of stairs to Adam’s apartment like he’s headed to the gallows.
Adam opens the door in mismatched pajamas, hot air spilling into the hall. He tugs on Michael’s scarf, grinning. “Sorry to make you come out in the cold.”
Michael ducks lower into the mound of his scarf and upturned collar. “I don’t mind. I like winter.” This has never been true before, but in this moment, with Adam leaning into him, he finds that it is.
“Great.” Adam pulls Michael into the apartment by his coat sleeve. “Lemme give you the tour.”
The tour, it turns out, is just Adam pointing at the bathroom, gesturing to the refrigerator and telling Michael he’s welcome to anything in it, and tugging the bedroom door shut before Michael can get a look inside.

Summary
Flint is jarred from his musing by the sound of Silver swearing loudly. He looks up to scan the beach for danger, half prepared to lecture Silver about basic fire safety like he’s a child. Instead, he watches as Silver yelps and falls gracelessly on his arse, swatting at his face. There’s a persistent buzzing sound in the air, Flint realizes, too high pitched and too late in the year to be cicadas.
Oh. The honey. Of course.

Summary
Tozer really had thought he’d had at least some advantage. Jopson was pretty but he was gentle, for Christ’s sake, he was all ironed handkerchiefs and glazed china and fluttering kisses, probably. When Little wanted aim-and-fire, take-no-prisoners; when he wanted it hard, he’d come to Tozer.
But now Tozer is seeing Jopson differently. The iron in him: a hidden vein. It gets his blood up.
