    Summary

    Shane watches Ilya shove a hand through his hair, waits for him to meet his eyes. “You pretend to want things, pretend I can have things that we both know you won’t let me have,” he says, his newfound self-esteem carrying him past the point of no return. He wishes he’d never discovered it, because it’s making Ilya’s face do something awful.

    “Oh, you mean I hurt your feelings?”

    Close enough, Shane supposes, his chest aching again. He goes to lift his hand again, sees Ilya zero in on the movement, doesn’t. “I guess so.”

    Ilya scoffs, mean and sharp. “So sorry, Hollander, I didn’t mean to make you get so emotional about a casual fuck.”
    Asshole. So many times he has lobbed the word at Ilya in exasperation, reluctant affection and disbelief, but now he thinks it with vitriolic anger. “I think you should go.”

    Shane finally decides that Ilya's ability to weaponise sex isn't enough for him anymore. Ilya doesn't take it well, but Shane holds firm. Then they start to text about it. Sort of.

    Summary

    << Do you want him to love you? >>
    “I don’t know,” says Simon, “but if it meant losing this… then no, I don’t-”
    << Idiot, >> says Rocky, fondly, << I’ve seen you reach for him. Reach out and hover your fingers this-close to his skin, but for some reason, you never touch him. You want something. >>
    Simon closes his eyes, groaning quietly. “Argh.”

     

    -

    Simon worries about if he's allowed to touch Grace, even though they share a bed. Rocky reassures.

    Summary

    To the chaotic, arguing fans online Shane probably only uses 3-in-1 body wash to cleanse himself and calls it a day. To Ilya, he's a husband who needs an hour in the bathroom, many specialized products and a deep commitment to his skin before he's ready for a night out.

    Or: A look at domestic life, glowing skin and why Shane is the prettiest man in the league.

    Summary

    When Severus Snape dies in the Shrieking Shack, he expects it to be the end.

    Instead, he wakes in Godric’s Hollow on the night Lily Potter dies—years younger, with full memory of everything that followed. This time, he doesn’t step back. This time, he takes the child.

    With Harry Potter in his care, Snape sets out to change a future he knows too well—one shaped by war, manipulation, and a boy raised to die. But protecting Harry means stepping outside both the Dark Lord’s reach and Dumbledore’s design, and into alliances Snape has never trusted.

    Summary

    “Is someone chasing you?” Ilya drawls. 

    He turns, and yeah, this guy doesn’t look like much of a smoker. Ilya’s learned through time and experience that stoners come in all shapes and sizes, but it’s clear that he isn’t one: hair cut neat and short, straight-laced, brows furrowed into a scowl, shoulders all tight—too squared away. He’s probably not much of a drinker, either, if Ilya had to guess. 

    And he’s wearing a fucking suit, for Christ’s sake. 

    So boring, Ilya thinks, strangely delighted. He wants to take him by the collar and scruff up his hair, if only to see what he might do in response. 

    Or, Shane's struggling with anxiety. Hayden thinks his grumpy weed dealer might be able to help.

    Summary

    After Durin was transported inside a book, he realized that it was not about his own tale, but a retelling of a narrative he had never heard before:

    The tale of the hero of Simulanka,

    The story of his important friend.

    It was through witnessing the three acts of Hat Guy's life and talking with the main characters of each chapter did he realize that perhaps a dragon and a puppet are not so different after all.

    Summary

    The world outside has so much to offer. Coco has been to many places she’d never even dreamed of visiting prior to joining Qifrey’s atelier, seen sights just this morning that have already redefined beauty in her eyes, all before midday came to pass. But still, she thinks quietly, fiercely: nothing will ever compare to the familiar landscape of home.

    Coco and Qifrey and a quiet morning together, seeing the world as it wakes.

    Summary

    when god comes asking for you, you don't question her. she comes in shambles—bags haphazardly packed, hair a right mess, and face bloodied and bruised—and she offers no answers to your pleading eyes. you think, numbly, as you regard her, that your doorstep was made for her to cross over.

    (Sua, Mizi asks, fingertips gingerly brushing over split skin. Sua, what happened?
    Sua shakes her head. Nothing that hasn't happened before. Nothing that won't happen again.)

    tonight, there's mizi and sua and there's nothing in between.

    Summary

    "Is it that fun?" Teruhashi wants to project into his mind. "Not being the center of attention?"

    It’s only then that she realizes while watching Saiki smile into his cup – the words “WINNER! You win one free coffee jelly!” printed across the bottom – there’s something to be found in the silence.

    OR: Across every iteration of their universe, Teruhashi Kokomi and Saiki Kusuo have a lot to learn from each other. Especially when she's a psychic fixated on attention and he's a perfect, pretty boy fixated on normalcy.

    Summary

    The airport looks like it always does. A sea of people oblivious to anything going on around them. Ilya is about to put his headphones over his ears when he sees something so familiar his brain almost doesn't register it. That is until he realizes that he's in fucking Moscow so this doesn't make any sense.

    Because right there at the gate, spread out over several chairs, his duffle bag as a pillow, is the figure of Shane Hollander sleeping. The hood of his sweatshirt is up and he's wearing sunglasses, but Ilya would recognize the shape of Shane Hollander anywhere.

    “Hollander?” he asks in shock, stepping closer.

     

    Or, Shane shows up in Russia after learning Ilya's father died. Ilya did not ask him to do this. He just showed up. And now Ilya doesn't know what to do with himself. He proceeds to just go with it, and maybe listen to Shane for once.

     

    Another song inspired fic, this time Ever the Same by Rob Thomas which I argue is underrated.

    Summary

    "I-" his words turn into a jumbled mess and I feel my claws clench. It's more than a little frustrating the way Grace keeps using new vocabulary without offering a translation for it. It probably has to do with grammar structure, but we've barely established +λ++ words.

    He can handle some grammatical sacrifices for the sake of ease, can't he? I definitely have.

    Grace presses one of his dull claws to his carapace. "-sleep now. I come back in +∀ +λ++ seconds."

    He takes another (clumsy) step backward and this time I do push my carapace into the barrier. He can't leave, the tunnel is too long for me to hear him whenever he's back on his spaceship. He's going to vanish and take that steady percussion beat within his chest with him. What if something happens to him while he's on his ship and he never returns? I need need need him.

    Erid needs needs needs him.

    "I observe."

    Grace is so caught up with making himself look trustworthy that he forgets aliens might be able to lie just as well as he can.

    OR

    Rocky lies about Eridian culture. What's Grace gonna do? Call an alien a liar?

    Summary

    Summary

    “Honestly Deku, I really couldn’t care less that you have a girlfriend.”

    Silence fell upon the room as Izuku gave him a look he couldn’t quite decipher. “...What are you trying to say?” Izuku finally questioned after several moments, carefully.

    Shit.

    Katsuki has been pining for years after Izuku. He's softened up a bit, bankrolled a hero suit for the nerd, and gives lectures at UA whenever Izuku requests it. So when what he thought was a dream they shared doesn't pan out like he'd planned, life goes in a direction Katsuki never would've expected.

    A story told over five acts which leans heavily into the pain of three characters, with Katsuki's anguish being the focal-point. The happy ending and eventual comfort to the hurt exists for everyone, no matter how bleak things may seem at times, but this story will be gut-wrenching to read most of the chapters. If you aren't at least a bit of a masochist, this fic is probably not for you. You have been warned.

    Oh, and the title of the fic is in part inspired by the song Scorpio Rising by Soccer Mommy, and also in part by, well, astrology.

    xoxo, enjoy :)
