Summary
How many of you have pined for someone only to be rejected?
Yup, me too. That’s part of the human condition that afflicts just about everyone from the homeliest of geeks to genetic freaks possessing the impossible combination of perfect facial symmetry coupled with an ability to survive on sashimi and celery.
Add an unhealthy dollop of confusion, a large pinch of hocus pocus, a dash of humor and a smidge of wanton violence. Blend the ingredients liberally and pour the resulting mixture into a stick-proof pan. Simmer over high heat for a couple of weeks and you’ll have the first draft.
From there things might get a bit tricky. We’ll see.

Summary
You have a dim, hazy memory of a body behind you, strong, shadowy arms around you, a voice in your ear. You imagine it now; a taller, heavier frame curved around you, the big spoon to your small. An arm around your chest, hand cupped over your heart. A voice murmuring behind you, breath stirring the fine hairs on the back of your neck as it murmurs, "Goodnight, my little prince."

Now living on Earth and no longer dead, the Alpha trolls settle down and enter the same college, Beforus University, to start all over on life. No Sgrub game equals no doomed timelines. Things should be simple, right?
As if. College isn't the cakewalk as they were expecting, and trolls are new to the human world, which means exposure to the good and bad that Earth has to offer. If college and society can't prove that it can overwhelm them, then the changes in their group relationships will.

“You didn’t fuck it up,” he said, again, keeping his voice even, steady, with an effort of will. “I was the one who redded out.”
“I was the one who made you,” Tony said. “Let’s not play around.”
-- Or, Steve and Tony are together before the incursion crisis starts, and since Tony can't find a way to break it off after Steve's mindwipe without tipping him off that something big has changed, they stay together. They've tried dom/sub scenes before, and try one again, but this time, Tony's guilt makes it much harder for him to handle than he expected . . . .

Summary
“Agent Cowell yelled, ‘Remember, lads this is a sacred relationship. Spies and their handlers must be closer than most spouses to survive.’
Which, like, that would be okay, except Harry was staring directly at the boy he fucked in the toilets at the club the night before.”In which Harry and Louis are secret agent partners who probably shouldn’t fall in love.
The title’s a line from Skyfall, by Adele. The story, otherwise, has very little to do with Bond.

Summary
He gave Zhou Zishu a lingering look from beneath his lashes. “Your virtuous wife will accompany you of course.”
“Oh? When did I obtain a wife, let alone a virtuous one?”
“How could you say that, A-Xu?” Wen Kexing asked with feigned, wide-eyed hurt. “Would anyone but your virtuous wife prick their fingers a thousand times just to accompany you in this mundane chore?”
Zhou Zishu looked up and caught Wen Kexing’s gaze, arching an eyebrow. “If you’re my virtuous wife, then when are you going to fulfil your other wifely duties?”
Zhou Zishu is utterly baffled when his attempts to reciprocate Wen Kexing’s flirting results in unexpected and uncharacteristic reactions. As arrogant as it might sound, Zhou Zishu had expected Wen Kexing to respond far more enthusiastically, rather than quite literally fleeing from his overtures. What the hell is going on here?
(Otherwise known as ‘Zhou Zishu’s 5 attempts to get Wen Kexing to have sex with him + 1 time he thoroughly succeeds’.)

Bucky’s brought him to some sort of…club? He’d called it a dancehall, which is the kind of phrasing Steve knows Bucky only still uses around him, like he needs to be introduced to the future gently and hasn’t been fighting literal aliens and robots since he arrived.

Summary
"You were staring, so I thought you wanted to try." He licks the faint coat of cream on his bottom lip with a dart of his tongue. (Katsuki internally screams, kills himself, and curses Todoroki's entire bloodline.)
He wants to whack him on the head. No, don't offer me your ice cream. This is not a thing between us. What makes you think it's a thing between us?
"I don't wanna try your stupid ice cream." He settles on saying instead, and Todoroki shrugs.
"It tastes good."
He doesn't know why he does it. Really. But when Todoroki scoots just a bit closer and brings the mint chocolate to him, he can't help but lean in. He tastes the soft, melting ice cream as Todoroki holds it steady for him, and when he pulls away, he catches eyes watching his lips.
Or:
Summer heat, melting ice cream, and Todoroki's quirk.
(Plus a shit-ton of feelings.) -
only fools rush in [can't help falling] by Potrix

Summary
Logan bares his teeth.
“We weren’t trying to pass judgment on,” Hank’s eyes flicker towards Wade, who widens his own back at him, “your personal life or choices. But the organization, the school and the kids, their safety, that’s our priority. I know you know that, Logan—”
“What I know,” Logan interrupts viciously, “is that we’re not friends. I know you want us to be, that you think we are, but we’re not. As far as I’m concerned? You’re a stranger to me. And what you should know, as a person with some common fucking sense? Is not to badmouth someone’s fucking boyfriend in the same breath you’re asking them for a goddamn fucking favor.”
If Wade had a pin on him, he’d drop it just to test that theory.
[Five times Logan is feeling protective about his emotional support mercenary, plus the one time Wade saves their budding relationship by putting his foot in his mouth.]
[Can be read as a standalone story, but honestly, why would you?]

The flirting. The jokes. The banter... Armin wasn't the best at reading between the lines, but it didn't stop him from wondering if maybe they meant something more.
