Summary
“So, not going to ask for my name?” James asks after a moment, and Regulus huffs, wiping his hands on his apron as he stands up, giving James a bored glance.
“I don’t really care to know, to be honest,” he snips back, and James places a dramatic hand on his chest as he leans back, feigning pain.
“Ooh, ouch, my heart. Careful, I’m a fragile man. It’s James, just so you know. Now you have the pleasure of knowing the name of the person you’ll be jerking off to tonight,” he winks, and again Regulus rolls his eyes as he scoffs.
“Please,” he replies back, but he can’t hide the pink tinging his cheeks, and James’ grin widens as he steps closer. Regulus stares at him for a hot moment, before blinking and shaking his head.
James is famous in a band, and Regulus is a barista in a coffee shop. Four minutes before closing, James escapes into his shop from a crowd of fans, implanting himself into Regulus' life permanently.

Summary
Lillium isn't making a habit of visiting a particular coffee shop. Or, if he is, it's not because he finds a particular barista there cute (also interesting, charming, and oddly soothing to be around.) Absolutely not. Iris just makes good coffee, that's all.
Lillium may be just a tiny bit in denial.
Iris is having a hard time believing his interest is ever going to be returned, given the way Lillium pretends not to notice.

Derek returned to Beacon Hills with his sister once she’d finished college. He’d attended business school for a few years and decided that he’d open his own coffee shop: All Hale Caffeine - Laura picked it. They had gotten the shop up and running while visiting his uncle who was slowly starting to get better and working on rebuilding the old house. After all, it was time to start living again.
Stiles Stilinski was 17, a spark, and just trying to finish high school. That proves impossible when his best friend gets bitten by a rogue alpha. Queue the Hales entering their lives as Stiles and Scott deal with the mess they’ve found themselves in. At least Stiles is getting good coffee out of this ordeal - if only the Sourwolf owner would stop commenting on his health.
A Season 1 AU Rewrite - where the Hales return two-ish years before season 1’s events. Peter doesn’t go insane, Scott still gets bitten, and Stiles already knows about the supernatural world. Oh, and Derek had actual therapy while in New York.

Summary
“Have you ever baked before?” Evelyn asks.
Peter shakes his head, eyes dropping to look downwards. Gluing themselves to the table. His fingers still.
“Can you make a latte? Or, a steamed milk hot cocoa?” Evelyn tilts her head, trying to catch Peter’s eyes.
He shakes his head again.
Evelyn takes a deep breath and lowers her eyes back onto Peter's application. “I couldn’t help but notice you’ve left a question blank. Why don’t we go over it now?” She prompts and begins to read the last question on the form. “Describe a specific situation where you have provided excellent customer service in your most recent position.”
“I haven’t done anything but mess a lot of things up for people.” Peter dismisses immediately.

Summary
Avid rushes out into the centre of town, stake in hand, Drift on his tail, and Apo not far behind. The townsfolk – vampires and humans alike – hover at the edges, some taking refuge from the furious, bloody figure on the steps of the tavern, others sticking close to the beacon’s tower, using the strength to their benefit. As he comes to a skidding stop, the figure looks up, and Owen bares his fangs, eyes flashing crimson.
“Who is this?” He snarls, throwing an arm out to the mutilated corpse beneath him. “And what were they doing in my forest?”
Swallowing fearfully, Avid slowly but surely drops his gaze. There, crumpled beneath the vampire lays a body. It’s split, twisted wrongly with bones poking out at angles Avid’s certain they should never be bent to. At his side, Apo curses weakly, muttering out a headcount whilst Drift sucks in a horrified breath. There’s too much blood to tell who it could possibly be, but one thing is for certain; that person is well and truly dead.
---------
Or: Avid opens a... "bakery", Cleo becomes the somewhat official mayor of Oakhurst, and the town puts aside their differences with the vampires as a war brews steadily on the horizon.

Summary
If you go at the edges of Capital City, you will find a cafe.
It's a place that smells exactly how people would describe "home." A place where students, workers, and everyone would meet up in and hang out. The four employees running the place bickered openly, but it wasn't animosity, it was the type of friendly banter you would hear between siblings, and it makes you feel at ease.
But there's a saying, that you should never mess with it.
Because you would be hit with bad luck for trying to hurt the innocent employees — and soon, die.
