“What? No—No!” Panic surged in Jack’s chest at the idea of Eric thinking he would do that. “This, you and me, us—” Jack’s fingers twitched with the urge to reach for Eric’s hand, “—has nothing to do with any of that. I swear, I’m not—I’m not here for that.”
Eric stared at him for a moment. “Then what are you here for?
“You.”

Summary
(Alternately (kind of) titled: Five times that David and Jack were oblivious about basically being married and/or parents and the one time it was so obvious even these idiots noticed)
“Youse talk funny,” one of the kids said suspiciously when Jack had introduced him to the mass of them a week or so after the strike, “youse sure you from ‘Hattan?”
Jack had thrown his head back and laughed while David cursed his pale complexion; it made the inevitable blush that much more visible. Though whether it was because of the question or the infectious smile that had lit up Jack’s face, he refused to think about.

Summary
A pause falls over the group that is so awkward Knox wishes the tiled floor would swallow him whole. It becomes even more awkward when Chet asks, “So, are you seeing anyone, Knox?” with such a shit-eating and self-satisfied smirk on his face that Knox wants to football tackle him into the aisle shelves.
Seriously, fuck this guy.
Knox felt his face heating up and opened his mouth, but before he could get out so much as a syllable about how lackluster his love life is, he found himself startling as he felt an arm wrap lazily around his shoulders.
“Knoxious, babe, where have you been? I’ve been looking all over for you.” a familiar, uncharacteristically sweet voice says from his left that makes all of the blood rush out of Knox’s face. He felt himself going rigid, not even having to look over to know who had just come waltzing in on their conversation.
Charlie. Fucking Charlie Dalton is trying to pass himself off as Knox’s boyfriend to Chris and her new boyfriend. God, Knox knew he should’ve said no when Charlie begged him to go to the store.
Or: A Fake-Dating AU where Knox finds himself in situations where he has to fake-date his best friend until they fall in love

Summary
"Now, it's not as if Davey has a crush. They've never even met. Jack has no idea who he is. Davey follows him on Instagram, but so do hundreds of thousands of other people, because Jack is talented, charismatic beyond belief, and one of the top contenders to bring home a gold medal for America this year. They don't actually know each other at all... but Davey supposes he could be considered a bit of a fan."

Summary
Spot was in the habit of never owing anyone anything. If he needed something, he made sure to pay for it in full right away. But Racetrack never insisted on collecting a return, so a person's debt to him stretched on forever, giving Race all the power. If there was one thing Spot hated, it was a loss of power. And so he had vowed to never, ever be in the position of owing Racetrack a favor. No matter what.

Wolfstar Games 2020 - Team Sound / Prompt: typewriter
“Lupin didn’t seem pleased that I was filming last night,” Sirius said lightly.
“Most people that come here…” Lily spoke slowly, choosing her words carefully, “Remus put it like this to me once: most people who choose to spend years of their life so far from civilization have a reason for leaving it behind. Remus wanted someone like us and he held out for so long because he expected he would get sent a bunch of finicky artsy types. I don’t think he expected you. And now that you’re here, I don’t think he quite knows what to do with you.”
When wildlife filmmaker Sirius Black arrives on a remote Antarctic island for a year-long assignment, he isn't phased by the freezing wind, the perpetual darkness, or the hostility he meets from some of the biologists at the research base. He is used to living an itinerant existence. He is comfortable with unforgiving conditions. He expects the world to treat him harshly. But he does not expect to fall in love.

Summary
“I don’t get it,” Sirius says truthfully. “Remus is such a nice person, why does everyone pretend like he’s some kind of wicked stepmother?”
James laughs joyfully and winks at Sirius. “Are we even talking about the same person?” He holds out his hand above his head. “Big guy, about this tall, curly hair? Temper like a sleeping dragon? Smart, but a bit full of himself? Can kill you with his eyes?”
Sirius raises his eyebrows and laughs as well. “No, I don’t think we are talking about the same person at all.”
A love story about healing, new beginnings and growing up. Academia! Romance! Shared cigarettes, cute cats, lots of coffee and the most amorous business trip you have ever seen.

Summary
There's a lot that Edwin and Charles don't talk about. Frankly, after 30 years together, you don't have to say much for the other person to get the point. But Port Townsend and Crystal and Niko knocked their dynamic off-kilter, and by the time they return to London and finally get back to "normal," "normal" has changed. "Normal" is now Crystal's bright laughter, Niko's earnest affection, and Edwin's faint smiles. "Normal" is an unnameable ball of emotions tangled up in Charles' chest. "Normal" is Edwin looking at him, and Charles hearing those words all over again.
Charles, I'm in love with you.
OR, Charles figures out what it means that Edwin is the only person in the world he'd run into Hell for.
