    Summary

    “You’re late,” Derek informed him coldly, jaw clenched. He barely even moved his mouth to speak. This guy was seriously scary.

    And because Stiles was suicidal, he said, “No, I’m Stiles.”

    The look he got could’ve curdled milk. Stiles even noticed that Derek’s muscles were tensing, arms bulging even more and wow this guy was scary and hot but mostly scary holy shit.

    “You’re not funny,” Derek informed him coldly.

    Stiles shrugged. “I think that’s a matter of opinion.”

    Summary

    By the end of his speech, tears are falling from Buck’s chin to where his hands are still stuck, half-reaching out for Tommy’s. “I’m so sorry,” Buck whispers, with his stupid big eyes and his stupid big heart and of course he looks absolutely gutted, because he’s never felt anything but the full weight of everyone else’s emotions, “I had no idea. You never told me.”

    “I didn’t tell you a lot of things,” Tommy says, “And I regret it. I’m sorry.”

    “It’s okay,” Buck assures him, a tinge of desperation on his tongue, “I—I—I forgive you. I wasn’t there for the first bit, but I’m here now, and—and whatever you need, whatever the—the baby needs, I’ll do it.”

    “You’re gonna be such a good dad,” Tommy smiles, and this is the part he knew was going to hurt. This is the part he almost couldn’t stomach. This is the part he knows he has to do more than anything else. “That’s why I’m relinquishing parental rights. The baby’s going to be yours—just yours.”

    Summary

    Tommy has always been able to see ghosts.

    Usually, they stick around for a few days or weeks, maybe several months before they get what they need to move on. There was one ghost, however, who appeared when Tommy was young and seemed to be unable to get the closure he needed to let go and so he just… never left.

    He got used to it, after a while, and Daniel became a consistent companion throughout his life.

    Or, the one where Tommy can see ghosts and is haunted by Daniel Buckley for reasons it takes him almost thirty years to understand.

    Summary

    Tommy Kinard was not what Buck had been expecting.

    Yes, he was as big and broad shouldered as Buck had imagined him, with a handsome face that was dusted with a few days old stubble. His eyes were a deep blue that threatened to drown him the longer he looked.

    But he had a gentle thoughtfulness around him as he reached forward to take Buck’s hand.

    ---

    Buck is a storm chaser trying to make a name for himself and his team. When their driver quits and Chimney calls in a favor with an old friend his life is turned upside down like a whirlwind.

    Tommy was content with his unexciting, boring life until his old friend Howie called him for a "favor" in exchange for a summer of adventure. After meeting Evan he's not sure he can ever go back to the life he lived before.

    Summary

    “Alexander,” Magnus greets him warmly when he arrives at the loft. “What a pleasant surprise.”

    “Is it?” Alec asks dryly. He holds up the invoice. “Because I kind of think you had an idea how this would go when you left this at the Institute for me.”

    Summary

    For a second, Nate is on high alert—his senses reaching out for the incoming attack, but then he gets a good look at Brad’s face and his smile goes wickedly soft.

    “So it’s like that,” Nate says.

    “Yeah,” Brad says leaning in. “It’s like that.”

    Ray is a better symbol of home than anything else Brad can think of, which is probably an even bigger problem than the amnesia.

    Summary

    It’s the fucking DADT thing, everyone gets a bee in their bonnet about it, or whatever the fuck. Not that it isn’t a relief in some ways, but from the first rude e-mail card he gets from Ray (he outdoes himself with the timing, too, couldn’t be more than thirty seconds after the news, probably tripped over his shoelaces to get to his computer), Brad knows it’s going to be trouble.

    “It’s all your fault,” he tells Nate, who freezes with his hand still on the doorknob and tilts his head.

    “What did I do?” he wants to know. He’s pulling off the innocence, Brad will give him that, but he has the NPR on in his car, he must have heard.

    “You voted for the bastard.”

    Summary

    Tommy laughs, as much as it can be called a laugh when he can barely get the air to do it, but his breath still grazes against Buck’s lips, the ghost of what he really wants. It’s warm, and Tommy’s still looking at him, and it’s been eighteen days, and he’s baked on nearly every one of them. They’re in a crashed helicopter and Tommy’s pinned down and it’s a terrible idea and it’s been eighteen days, he’s counted every one, and-

    Buck kisses him.

    Tommy's helicopter goes down. Buck copes.

    Kind of.

    Hey - he never said he was coping well.

    Summary

    and there are some like us,
    just walking, making our feet move ahead of us,
    a little bored, a little lost, a little angry,
    walking as though we were really going somewhere,
    walking as if there was something to see at Adelaide or maybe on King,
    something that will give a fair return for this use of shoe-leather,
    something that will make us smile with a strange new
    happiness, a lost but recovered joy.

    Summary

    Alex is a former child star struggling to make the transition into being seen as a serious actor. He jumps at an opportunity to perform on stage in the UK, seeing it as a way to break free from the typecasting and show what he can really do. But he wasn’t prepared to star alongside someone he hates.
    //
    Henry is a recent theatre graduate who accepts an amazing role in a queer reimagining of Much Ado About Nothing. And then it turns out his co-star is none other than the man he’s been hopelessly pining after for years—even though Henry made a terrible first impression when they met.
    //
    It’s… well, it’s practically Shakespearean.

    Invited to a week-long house party at the Duke of Windsor’s country residence, Alex Claremont-Diaz does not expect to find anything to enjoy about his time there. What he does find is Lord Henry, the duke’s younger brother—and a boatload of things to learn about himself.

    Summary

    Buck and Eddie had been luckier than most enlisted soldiers - after meeting at basic training, they were stationed at the same base, and had been in the same unit ever since. Buck had been there through everything; from their first deployment to Eddie's divorce, supporting him in war zones or at home with Christopher. Most friends in the military didn't get so much time together before getting shipped off somewhere new, so it was bound to happen sooner or later.

    When Eddie learns that he's getting stationed on the other side of the country, he's faced with a reality where Buck isn't a part of his daily life. Neither of them are prepared for a life without the other. Their solution? To get married.

    Summary

    As soon as the door is pulled open Stiles says, “You’ve been avoiding me,” and then he stares dumbly at Derek for a long moment, because Derek has a mop of hair now, like Andrew’s, falling over his forehead. There are crinkles at the corners of his eyes, his scruff is endearingly uneven, he’s wearing practically nothing—who opens the door in their underwear at one in the afternoon, Jesus Christ—and nobody should look this good pushing forty, werewolf genes are so freaking unfair.

    There’s an uptick to one corner of Derek’s mouth. He says, “Stiles,” and his name is a sleepy rumble in his chest.

    Seriously. God almighty, what has Stiles done to deserve this?
