Summary
The one where Stiles and his band of merry men go to college, get good grades, and somehow find time to count cards in Vegas casinos on the weekends.
--
To Derek Hale, they’re the worst of the worst.
Derek is the meanest pit boss in Vegas. He has arms muscled thick and a constant, brooding scowl. Rumor is he’s still bitter about the half a million dollars Kate Argent walked out with right under his nose.
Stiles wants to climb him like a tree.

Summary
"We made it, Omi!" Atsumu shouts, slamming his foot on the gas. The light just turned red, but
he runs it anyway. Atsumu knows that people will stop for him. Rather it's the way he holds himself, the car he drives (although it's not his own), or even just the way he speaks, people always seem to catch on to the fact that he's a person of importance. His affluent upbringing mixed with his life experiences draw stares from all around, and nobody even honks when he runs the light.The security of Caesars Palace, on the other hand, doesn't have this privilege. After all, what do a bunch of gang members have on a pretty boy who can drive fast? Nothing. And so what are they going to do about the fact that he and Sakusa just walked out of the casino with over a million dollars? Absolutely nothing.

Summary
There’s a pregnant pause, awkward and not nearly as long as it feels.
Steve clears his throat. “So. Do you climb?”
A slow smile spreads over Coulson’s face. “Nope. But you will.”
Or: The Point Break AU no one needed with rock climbing instead of surfing, gambling instead of bank robbery, and a grand old time had by all.

Summary
Kaycee Hawke has begun playing cards with her brother and his friends, and since she has, a lot less of their coin has flown away. But perhaps they've been keeping a little too much lately. Anyone will eventually see a pattern. After Bethany and the family dog step in to end a tense tavern stand-off, Kaycee's neighbor, Gilan, performs a complimentary post mortem on her recent missteps, then says something entirely unexpected. Kaycee has never seen Gilan as more than the boy she used to swipe pies with as a child, her tavern buddy. But she's been lonely now for a very long time.
