Summary
Sometime between his father’s death and the first time he kissed Michelle, he had lost the difference between being happy and acting happy. It didn’t matter, though. It was easier to keep on acting happy. Ted liked to act happy, to see the happiness that his joy and optimism brought to others. Helping other people feel less lonely made him feel less lonely. Especially if it was folks he really cared about.
-OR-
Ted Lasso starts to figure out how to deal with his grief after years and years of repressing his emotions and he has Trent Crimm there to help him, and love him, and most importantly, shampoo his hair.

Summary
The first thing Alastor felt was pain. Excruciating, all-consuming pain that seemed to radiate from every fibre of his being. His eyes snapped open, immediately assaulted by the harsh, red light and the blurry shapes of buildings, a city. He'd been shot hadn't he? Was he dead?
Or
Alastor arrives in Hell and nothing is ever the same again

Summary
This is my take on what Conrad gets up to starting right after the S2 finale. I hated how his time at Stanford was basically forgotten in the third book, and I especially hated that Agnes was kind of just a throwaway character. This story will look into his relationship with Agnes while he is at Stanford and expands on the parental relationship he expands with Laurel. A little bit of Jere/Adam bashing that IMO is valid based on what happens in the third book. Rated M for future spice.

Summary
“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach.…”
Anne and Wentworth may be together now, their bond indissoluble before the church and plain before their community, yet with the union so fresh—with Frederick gone so long in the beginning—with so many barbed comments from Lieutenant Reed—Anne cannot help but feel all the insecurity and all the anguish of a still-unsettled attachment.

Summary
But this, mind you, was no thing. And the merman was quick to realize this when it moved. Bright, sun kissed fins struck the water, pushing sloppily to urge the rest of the attached body to sink. The- was that a human? Was Katsuki witnessing the first human up close and personal? No, surely there had to be others. But if there were, then stories would have surely been passed, which meant that they were slain.
The human didn’t have long, protruding claws like Katsuki had once thought, nor a pelt made of spears and iron. It lacked the pearls and jewels the royals were rumored to have- No, instead it was a darkened blue, almost black, with toxic green strips lined down the sides. Humans weren’t supposed to have fins, being land dwellers, but this one did. Were they evolving? Katsuki was struck with anxiety at the thought of this. Were more to follow?
or;
Katsuki is a merman and Izuku is a human, both are scared of the other.

Summary
Alastor’s chest tightened as Lucifer’s hand brushed his, the simple touch igniting a fire that had smouldered for over a century. It had always been like this, hadn’t it? A push and pull between them, tangled with unspoken words and promises never made. But now, in the soft glow of the hotel balcony, something had shifted. They weren’t just lovers rekindling an old flame; they were partners, bound by more than just desire.
The shadows lurking in the corners of Hell were growing darker, more twisted and their battle is far from over. With Lucifer reclaiming his throne and old enemies stirring, the balance of Hell hangs on a thread.
But Alastor is no stranger to chaos; he thrives in it. And this time, he’s not fighting alone.
Or
Alastor and Lucifer rekindle their love while navigating an increasingly unstable Hell. Side by side they face down each challenge but as old enemies rise and the shadows of their past threaten to consume them, they must trust in each other like never before. In a world where love is as dangerous as any weapon, can they survive together, or will Hell burn them both?

Summary
They have been sleeping together for weeks – seven? eight? – by the time it occurs to Tobias that he has never been to Gabin’s place.
It seems silly to feel bothered by this realization, he thinks, because clearly it hasn’t bothered him all this time. If it had bothered him, he would have noticed, and he probably didn’t notice because in his head, it made perfect sense.
