    Summary

    Naruto and Hinata didn't last, but he wasn't mad at her. Sometimes relationships didn't work out, but what did hurt was watching everyone's lives progress, marry, have kids, and promotions while he was still living alone, eating ramen, and wondering what it was like to have someone that he could have that didn't admire him, but wanted to know him.

    Summary

    Yes, Serizawa thinks Reigen is attractive, and he may even like him, but what does Serizawa have to offer, really? And yes, Reigen thinks Serizawa is attractive, and could see himself liking him in the very near future, but Serizawa deserves better, really.

    Maybe, despite the unbalance they are sure is there, they can figure it out.

    (Ignore the dozens of OSHA violations they're committing to get there, those aren't important.)

    Summary

    "Where I'm from."

    She started as always.

    "There's about a 1% chance you'll see a whale your entire life."

    Her eyes sparkled. There was probably a bigger chance here. She'd have to tell Hannah all about it when she got back.

    "Land locked the way we are, it was probably even less for people like us."

    Joy had never seen the sea before this.

    Had never really thought about it.

    But this world seemed to run on the sea, seemed to thrive and build and live with it like it was life and death and taxes.

    Even she could admit that if left to it long enough she may become a bit addicted to it.

    "So whales are incredibly rare. Just about as rare as it is to find someone, something, truly important."

    Joy had lived her life in a bubble of knowledge. Scarping together every bit of information she could come across and devouring it. she could write a paper on anything. And hand it in, numbered with 12pt, times new Roman font with a bibliography and feel absolutely no stress.

    But knowledge did not equate to action. So when she awoke in a dark forest with her heart beating and head screaming to survive the only thing she could do was try.

    Summary

    Back then, they stood on opposite sides of a gulf: Zelda resenting the confines of her childhood, Link trying to pick up the shattered pieces of his. Bridging the gap now means building upon grief and unfamiliarity. But she’s spent so long missing him—she’s sick to death of wasted time.

    “I’m right here,” she says, sliding her fingers through his. “Will you tell me what happened?”

    Fireplace shadows flicker over his bandaged face. Maybe he’ll refuse. Zelda remembers Epona’s hooves kicking up dust, his proud green tunic disappearing behind the crest of a hill. Maybe all hope for their future died that day—or maybe time and tragedy only helped it grow.

    Link’s answer comes slowly, like drawing venom from a wound. “Well,” he murmurs, tightening his grip on her hand, “I got lost.”


    The hero searches for something he’ll never regain, the princess becomes a queen, and fate gives them a second chance.

    Summary

    Grace can’t remember the last time she slept peacefully.

    She still hasn’t gotten used to the new apartment. It’s drab, lifeless: the mattress is stiff, the springs of the couch are tearing through the beige fabric, and the faucet runs a dirty brown when she turns it on. The walls are plain, the air is cold, and the fridge is empty.

    It’s what she deserves.

    Summary

    Buck was golden, all light and soft warmth, and Eddie felt like he was melting into his skin, sinking into his bones. His skin, kissed by the sun, always managed to glow in his eyes, a soft warm hue that reminded Eddie of a sunset.

    His hair curled just slightly, both messy and perfect all at once, it made Eddie want to reach out, and tangle his fingers through it.

    Or, Movie night takes a turn, Eddie gets needy, and Buck is more than happy to take care of him.

    Summary

    Christopher peered at him, his eyes bigger through his lenses. “Why?”

    Buck nearly choked. “Why? Why… what? I mean, I’m bisexual, if that’s what you’re—”

    “Oh, no.” Christopher shook his head, “I just meant, if you’re dating men, why aren’t you dating Dad?” Which simply did not help Buck’s choking problem.

    Buck really, truly had never pictured Eddie’s son asking him these questions, specifically why he wasn’t dating Eddie.

    “Uh— your Dad isn’t— we’re not—”

    “Oh.” A pause.

    “I don’t want you to date Dad.”

    OR -

    A 7x10 rewrite wherein which Christopher does NOT leave and Buck offers his apartment to Bobby and Athena.

    Summary

    Keigo dances like he’s trying to prove something. He doesn’t smile. His partner is good— clean lines, nice footwork— but next to Keigo he might as well be invisible, even to the man who’s supposed to be dancing with him. Keigo doesn’t look him in the eye, even when their elbows lock and he’s lifted like he is the trophy and his partner is lucky to just be near him.

    Touya grins, leaning against the balcony railing and watching the train wreck of a duo. There’s no tension, no chemistry, no emotion in sight; just Keigo flawlessly executing a perfect choreography while his partner tries to keep up. Touya’s stomach tightens with something like envy and anxiety mixed together into one clawing beast, and he knows he’s found his target.

    Summary

    After a brief meeting of families and an equally brief betrothal, Wei Wuxian is married on a balmy morning in the autumn of his twenty-fifth year.

    Despite his passion for love-ballads and romance novels, Wei Wuxian never expected that he might be married one day. As the common-born ward of a merchant, he lacked the standing to find a wife among the gentry; and though he had liked the idea of a love match—where neither his rank nor that of his wife would matter very much, as long as Wei Wuxian could provide a comfortable home for them—no would-be beloved had ever materialized.

    It was thus that he came to be unwed at the age of twenty-four, when one of his uncle’s old friends from court wrote to Lotus Pier to ask if Jiang Fengmian would be in favor of a ruzhui marriage with Wei Wuxian as the bridegroom.

    Or: the minghun of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, in four parts.

    Summary

    “You’re just so busy, all the time,” he said, feeling the prickle of frustration starting to build inside him. Swallowing the sting of her easy rejection, he tried to be more playful. “Maybe I’d like to have you all to myself for a day or two.”

    “Well I’m sorry for not blowing off work so we can go make out in some barn in the middle of nowhere for a weekend.” She huffed out an aggravated sigh. “You knew exactly what this job meant to me before we got together. Why is this suddenly an issue? Are you really that n-“

    She cut herself off in time, but Buck knew exactly what she was going to say and it stung. The word ‘needy’ was a weapon that had been used against him so many times in the past that he’d just learned to accept it as a fact.

    But not this time. This time, he didn’t agree with the assessment.
