    Summary

    Grace had learned a long time ago there was a difference between giving up and giving in.

    Grace had once been told he was promising. Then he was told he was a joke.
    There was a certain torture in being told you’re gifted and could sit at the table with the best of the best, only to pull up a chair and be informed you’re the dumbest person in attendance. The fall from the tentative top was long and far.

    In which I explore Dr. Ryland Grace and the many ways he's; brilliant, larger than life, but ultimately human.

    Summary

    “Wait, WAIT. You’re a–” Wei Wuxian gulps, face flaming as his eyes dance across Hanguang-jun’s broad shoulders and chest, his trim waist. Not lower, definitely not.

    “A what?” Hanguang-jun asks, expression dark as the Marianas Trench and about as impenetrable.

    “Ahh, hah, actually, what would you say your job title is?” Wei Wuxian says in an attempt to backpedal.

    Hanguang-jun holds his gaze without blinking, and Wei Wuxian has never felt more pinned to the spot. “The services I provide here at the Cloud Recesses are that of a professional Dom. As your friends so kindly went in together to book you a relaxation appointment with me, perhaps they’re trying to tell you something.”

    Wei Wuxian drops his jaw. What the actual fuck?

    ---

    Wei Wuxian's friends conspire to help him relax.

    Summary

    University AU where Francesca is supposed to be in a perfectly loving relationship with her boyfriend, John, with a sensible future of marriage and children on the horizon, right up until John's cousin, Michaela Stirling, returns from a sabbatical abroad and Francesca finds herself, suddenly, hopelessly curious about another woman in ways that are utterly nonsensical.

    Now Francesca finds herself unable to stay away and trying very hard not to think about why telling Michaela she and John are dating feels like it would ruin everything. Surely keeping that little detail about her relationship status cannot be seen as lying if Michaela never asked. Right?

    --

    Or, finding the courage to be yourself before it's too late.

    --

    Doesn't love make us all a little crazy though? Or is that just Francesca?

    Summary

    “You’ve never bedded a woman before?” Michaela gasped.
    “There was never any need.”
    “Need?!” Michaela laughed again, thoroughly entertained by John’s misery, “Loving a woman cannot be reduced to just a need, darling. I could say the same about myself, that there was ‘never any need’, obviously, and yet…”
    “I am well aware, Michaela,” John grumbled, “We used to share a wall. And I have given you your own wing in the castle as I hoped to be made less aware.”

    Everything John knew about women, he learnt from Michaela. It should come as no surprise, then, that he would choose to marry the woman of her dreams. Missing moments from Season 3 and 4, detailing all the ways guilt layers.

    Summary

    “You cannot leave anyway, snow is too heavy.” He nodded his head to the window behind them.

    “Then I’ll walk.” He told him indignantly and lifted his chin to meet his eyes.

    It was a mistake.

    “And die of hypothermia?” Rozanov’s eyes were dancing with humour.

    Shane huffed because this wasn’t funny, and Rozanov was having far too much fun at his expense. “I’ll do whatever to get away from you.” His mouth turned downward into a frown.

    “You say that, but you were in my bed.”

    As the most decorated Canadian diver of all time, Shane Hollander is a history maker—it’s a pity he can’t remember any of it.

    Six months after a car accident steals ten years of his memory, Shane embarks on a solo winter holiday to get away from reality.

    He doesn’t expect Ilya Rozanov to show up as well.

    Summary

    “Oh my god,” Lando whispers, voice hoarse. “Oh my god, did we fuck?”

    “What?” Oscar shoots upright.

    “Wait, no, pretend I didn’t say that. I’m a man. A straight man who likes women. Of course we didn’t fuck, that’d be insane.” His words are too rushed to be anywhere near believable.

    Oscar blinks slowly. “Do you—Do you actually want me to pretend I didn’t hear it, or can I ask why you think we fucked?”

    Or: Oscar and Lando navigating the messy experience of falling in love in a sport where being queer isn't really an option.

    Summary

    In the end, it had been the Yiling Patriarch’s stratagems and his fierce fighting which had turned the tide of the war. He had killed both Wen Ruohan’s sons, and floored the traitor so that Meng Yao could strike the final blow. His status as the strongest warrior on the field had been undeniable.

    Thus, the offer extended to him by the Lan court. Take his place as the Emperor’s consort, the only one permitted to lay hands upon the Emperor, the only one to share his bed with him while he sleeps, unaware and vulnerable. His last, best line of defense.

    Or: Forced by his court to accept a consort, Lan Wangji is certain he has seen enough of the so-called Yiling Patriarch to know what he's getting: an uncouth ruffian. Slowly, he begins to realise that even an emperor's assumptions can be misplaced.

    Summary

    Wei Ying is bursting with excitement. His cheeks hurt, he can’t stop grinning. It’s still crazy he ended up here, and he will make the most out of it. Maybe he will even meet the love of his life, who knows! He chuckles at the thought. Probably not.
    Wei Ying rubs his hands over his pants and looks back to the path. The next person is coming. Long hair is swept by the wind, something is fluttering behind them. They seem tall and athletic.
    “Oh wow,” the woman beside him says under her breath.
    This has to be the most beautiful man I have ever seen, Wei Ying thinks. He looks like a model ready for a shot at the beach. He wears white linen pants and some kind of half see-through top in light blue. The fluttery thing behind him is a white ribbon. His jaw looks chiseled from stone, he has prominent cheekbones, a straight nose and his eyes are piercing, as he looks around the gathered people. He bows to them in greeting and meets their eyes. When he sees Wei Ying, he startles. Wei Ying is also shocked. Instead of bursting out his name and jumping from his seat, he just nods and smiles even wider.

    ---
    Or Wei Ying meets Lan Zhan again on a (straight?) dating show!

    Summary

    Grace’s short history of relationships taught him that maybe he was just childish. Maybe he just— maybe he didn’t want a relationship. Maybe he just wanted a best friend who wouldn't leave him when they got married. That he was the one that was the problem.

    Adults had sex. That was a fact of life. They fell in love and love meant sex and that was just how it was. If you didn’t want to have sex then you weren’t really in love. Sure sex didn’t equate to love— people had flings all the time— but romance and sex were the kind of things that went together. So Grace had just— accepted the words of his girlfriends. That maybe he just never actually loved them the way he thought he did. Maybe he just liked them and tied the thought of romance to it so that he could monopolize their time. That all just came together so maybe he actually was just leading these women on. All of them gave him everything he needed in a relationship but he’d never been able to be what they needed. Wasn’t that selfish? Wasn’t that cruel?

    Alternatively: Grace is alloromantic asexual. This is traumatizing in many ways. Not for Rocky though. Rocky's perfectly okay with being in love and never having sex.
