Summary
When Millen Coelho-Grey, a xi -- a socially neutral alpha -- is assigned to Task Force 141, he's apathetic to the prospects of being integrated into a new pack. His life feels like a trainwreck, barreling towards middle age and an inevitable therapy session that he's just waiting for the brass to book. His military career is stagnant, and he's never felt like he belongs. Too submissive to be a proper alpha, but still categorized by his secondary gender, he is ever forced to shrug on labels like an ill-fitting coat, and it's been taking its toll slowly but surely.
Will the 141 -- a tight-knit group, bordering somewhere between the closest bonds of brotherhood and something more -- find a way to coax their newest member out of his shell? Or is Millen destined to never know the pride and acceptance that comes with bearing a packmark on his neck?Series

Summary
“So, one day at Slough and you’re already running errands for Lamb, there’s got to be better use of your time. I hear there’s a real lack of experimental content in the adult movie industry, maybe you could try your hand at that, River. Or both hands, whatever it takes, huh?”
“What is your fucking problem?”
“My problem,” Webb spat out, flushing, “is that you were never as good as you always thought, but it doesn’t compute with you. You’ve got the name and that’s it.”
“Oh yeah? And you’ve got a whole lot less–”
After a catastrophic blunder on the main stage of The Park, once promising actor River Cartwright needs to lay low and reassemble the remaining pieces of his career. Luckily, the small and rundown theatre by the name of Slough House offers refuge to even the worst cases in the acting game. Unfortunately for River, it doesn’t take long before his former friend, rival, and orchestrator of his downfall – James Webb – also finds himself on Jackson Lamb’s call sheet, having suffered a fall from grace himself. Forced to work on their scenes together, they rehash the past and find some new common ground. Begrudgingly at first, willingly at last.

Summary
You thought you were running away. Instead, you stepped into a story even Shakespeare couldn’t have written.
When life in London begins to lose its shape, you return to your quiet hometown of Cambridge, seeking refuge in familiar streets and forgotten corners.
But behind the worn spines in the university library, a portal waits — silent, ancient, and impossibly real.Drawn into a world that looks like your own but feels entirely different, you meet people who seem at once new and heartbreakingly familiar. One of them will change you forever.
As friendships form and hearts begin to speak in silences, you find yourself at the centre of a tale both tender and tragic.
Now you must face the question: what if your purpose was never to belong, but to save?
Timelines twist, choices echo, and love — like in the Bard’s finest works — hides behind what’s left unsaid.
A quiet, aching story of parallel lives, fragile hope, and the words we never say.

Summary
“Oh, my Oz, Elphie! They are from a secret admirer!” Galinda practically bounced in place, the paper held aloft like a prize.
“So?” she said. “That’s hardly worth bursting an eardrum.”
But Galinda’s eyes sparkled in a very specific, unsettling way.
“But they’re for you!”
Or,
someone has been leaving flowers at Elphaba’s door for weeks, and she’s certain it’s a cruel joke—until the notes start feeling like truth, and she starts hoping, and maybe falling, for the one person she thought would never see her like that.

Summary
When John House sent his son to Welton Academy to “make a man out of him” and “teach him how to behave”, Greg didn’t expect to find anything more than cold stone walls, boys in uniforms, and rules carved in Latin. He didn't expect Neil Perry — warm, theatrical, and nothing like him. A shared room becomes shared music, scribbled margins, and questions neither of them is quite ready to answer.
---
“It's anxiety with rhythm.”
Neil shook his head in disbelief. “You voluntarily put this in your ears?”
“Better than glittery denial set to piano,” House smirked. “Which, I assume, is your genre of choice.”- Language:

Summary
“You feel so deeply,” She squeezed his hand once more.
“It is completely impossible to feel anything less for you, my dear.” He kissed her hand, hazel eyes examining her scant grave gold. Perhaps she would allow him to change that.
“Must you always have something enchanting and passionate to say?” she laughed through a cough, flustered by him yet again.
“I always choose my words carefully,” he whispered, their competition resumed. Warm lips a hair away from her skin, his breath hot against it. He wished to court and woo her properly, but when she looked at him like that, like he was all she wanted, it wore heavily on his resolve. If only he were a weaker man.Emmrook fluff and more as they navigate having feelings and trying not to scare each other away.

Summary
A series of unconnected events:
Event 1: Don Quixote's been suffering from persistent bouts of violent coughing. The clock rewinds, rewinds... and rewinds, but still her illness lingers.
Event 2: Heathcliff turns his back for a moment (fine, a few moments), and his secret notebook "mysteriously vanishes" into thin air. In the place where it was, lies a singular rose petal.
Event 3: Don Quixote starts growing out her hair. -

Summary
But losing Bombay wasn’t the only thing gnawing at him. If that had been the end of it, maybe Charlie could’ve found a way to deal with the change. Maybe he could’ve coped with Bombay leaving, telling himself they were growing up, that things changed, that he had to move forward. But losing Adam Banks? That was a whole different kind of pain.
OR:
"Charlie lost two of the best and most important people in his life when he joined the Warriors."

Summary
“I almost ended his life, before it even began. All his books, his accolades, his children. They were half a moment away from oblivion.”
“Why didn't you?”
Louis runs his thumb along the cap of the half-empty cologne bottle. “I was stopped.”
“Stopped by what?”
“I don't know,” he mutters. The bottle of cologne he's never used is half-empty. He turns around to look at Rashid, and smiles: “The hand of God, I guess. If God is a fan of investigative journalism.”
Louis takes an extra precaution to keep Armand's presence concealed from their houseguest-interrogator—by concealing Rashid's identity from himself. With a little help from Armand, of course.

Summary
After years of seeing Miki's suffering state due to his rash actions, Steven decides to take her to a doctor. One that will hopefully ease her pain, even if only a little bit. As expected, this particular doctor practices less-than-legally, and she has just as many skeletons in her closet as Steven does, if not more.
Perhaps the two of them are more alike than they initially think.

Summary
England, 1936 - a century after First Contact.
On Vulcan, T'Pau struggles to keep her world from becoming increasingly entangled in human politics. On Earth, Ambassador Sarek works tirelessly to prevent another great war. The key to planetary unification may lie in a heroic young American naval officer he met twenty years ago, when his aid convoy encountered a tragedy so brutal that no one who witnessed it can ever forget what they've seen.
Now captain of the first Earth naval ship with an international crew (and a Vulcan first officer), James T. Kirk believes the horrors of Tarsus are no more than ghosts from his past. But after a chance encounter with his old friend Tom Leighton sends the officers of the Enterprise to a remote country manor on the gloomy English moors, Jim realizes not everyone who survived Tarsus has managed to leave it behind - and that one of those ghosts may be very much alive.
When a weekend house party turns deadly, Jim races to unmask the killer before he becomes their next target. But with a troupe of traveling actors thrown into the mix, he soon learns that he's not the only one keeping dark secrets . . . and that anyone could be a suspect.

Summary
After the apocalypses that didn't happen, and love that has been confessed and confirmed, eternity has settled into a quiet life in a South Downs cottage, where a demon and an angel occasionally write sonnets for each other. Sometimes they are sweet, and sometimes they are saucy, but they are always filled with love.
What started as a one-shot birthday gift is quickly turning into a series of Shakespearean Sonnets rewritten by our Ineffable duo. This will be mostly stand-alone, short chapters each with a sonnet and glimpse into the every day life in the South Downs Cottage.

Sometimes, even when he doesn't realize it, Crowley has a Bad Day. Sometimes the weight of all he's been through sits heavy on his wings and in his heart. And on those days, Aziraphale is there with a hug and a poem.Excerpt:
“Grow. Bettah!”
Aziraphale looked up from the croissant dough he was meticulously folding on the cool, kitchen countertop. Outside the window he spotted Crowley stalking through their herb garden, scowling at errant rosemary and spotted thyme. He brandished his gardening shears at the transgressive plants, pruning the offending leaves and pulling up stray offshoots.Series

Summary

At least, he does a pretty good job at convincing himself that he does, until Diane enters his office and spins everything on its head like she did when she first delivered the news that Alicia was leaving Lockhart-Gardner.
