Summary
Vincent has spent his whole life trying to figure out what kind of man he's supposed to be. His father's kind, probably. The kind that walks into a room like he owns it, orders the right drink, says the right thing to the right person. The kind that never pauses in a doorway.
On his twenty-first birthday, he puts on his best shirt and his nicest tie and walks into a bar alone to practice.
He does not practice. He sits in the corner for five hours and talks honestly to a stranger for the first time in his life, and somewhere between the drink he hated and the one he didn't, jazz, cherry stems, and the walk home, something shifts. Not dramatically. The way tides move. You never see it happen, but eventually you look down and the waterline is somewhere different.
His name is Alastor. He is, Vincent will think later, a considerable amount of time's worth of not yet.

Summary
Eddie always thought his soulmark felt less like a promise and more like a countdown.
Two lines, dark against his skin.
He learns to hide them. Learns not to hope. Learns not to imagine the person those words might belong to.
Then Buck says the first line in the middle of a storm, casual and smiling and impossibly alive, and Eddie’s whole world narrows to one terrible truth.
Buck is his soulmate.
or
What if Eddie realized Buck is his soulmate when he got struck by lightning and is the one to bring him back.

Summary
After learning the truth about why he was born, Buck makes the most deliberate choice of his life: he applies to Asterbridge House, a private matchmaking service he’s been saving for since he was eighteen, because more than anything, he wants a spouse, children, and a home that lasts.
He does not expect to be matched with Tommy Kinard.
Tommy is older, steadier, richer, and far better at seeing through Buck than Buck is ready for. He listens carefully, kisses gently, and makes room for Buck exactly as he is, which would be easier to enjoy if Buck’s family didn’t think he was making a mistake. It would be easier still if Maddie wasn’t trying to fix his life for him, or if wanting something for himself didn’t feel so much like betraying everyone else’s expectations.
Somewhere between first dates, family betrayals, crossed lines, and one very bad fire, Buck has to figure out whether he can stop asking permission to want the life he actually wants — and whether Tommy might be a place to land.

Summary
“You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.
“I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”
He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.
When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.
(the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)
(or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)

Summary
Shane Hollander can handle twenty thousand screaming fans, high-stakes games, and the kind of pressure that never really lets up.
He cannot, however, handle preschool drop-off.
Fortunately, Teacher Ilya can.
(It involves a stuffed bunny, a city with no mayor, and maybe something more.)

Summary
AITA for getting annoyed that my associate knows all my coffee orders and remembered my dry cleaning?
u/_DefinitelyNotHarveyOkay. So, this is going to sound insane, but bear with me.
I’m (40M) a senior partner at a high-profile law firm in New York. (Not saying which one. Let’s just say if you’ve ever watched a smug multi-millionaire get even richer, we were probably involved.) I’ve got an associate. Let’s call him Mike.
--
Or, through a series of AITA posts, Harvey—very slowly and reluctantly—realises that he has feelings for Mike.-

Summary
“You could date me,” Rozanov says nonchalantly.
Wait. What?
Shane is sure he must’ve misheard. He stares at the other boy in disbelief, his mouth hanging slightly open.
“What?” he asks aloud, because surely Rozanov must’ve hit his head or something.
But the blond man just shrugs casually. “You need hot fake boyfriend. I am available.”
or, the fake dating hollanov fic, in which Shane desperately wants his ex to think that he's no longer hung up on him and his rival Ilya Rozanov is more than happy to help.

Summary
He stands, frozen, at the foot of the bed, and watches as Eddie parents his child.
When did that happen? he wonders, a buzzing alarm set loose in his head. The knowledge of it– the feeling that comes with it– crashes over him.
Eddie glances up, all dark eyes and warm concern when he’s the one in the hospital bed, and oh–
Buck loves him.
or: eddie gets hurt, theo has a crashout, and buck has a realization, in that order.

Or
The back of Will’s neck has been extra sensitive ever since everything with the Mind Flayer. Mike helps him realize that doesn’t always have to be a bad thing.

Summary
“Why do I taste blood in your mouth, solnyshko?”
“I told you, my ex said it’s annoying when I’m too loud during sex. I guess it’s a habit. I bite my tongue sometimes so you won’t have to hear me that much.”
“And I told you, I need you to give me the name of this ex so I can kill him with my bare hands. Is very serious matter.”

Summary
Ilya let out a quiet laugh, shaking his head. “I want to be perfect for you, Shane. To make up for all the time we lost.”
“I don’t want perfect,” Shane said quietly, stroking Ilya’s cheek. “I want something real. Something that we fight to make work, because we want it so much. Because being together is so much fucking better than being without each other.”
***
Ten years ago, Shane and Ilya loved each other in secret and let each other go anyway.
Now Shane, captain of the Ottawa Centaurs, is a single dad to four-year-old Ollie, and good at pretending he doesn’t think about the man he lost when they were younger and terrified of the fallout of being caught. Then one chance meeting turns into drinks, lingering looks, old feelings, and suddenly Ilya Rozanov is everywhere again.
Some things, it turns out, never really leave you.
As Shane and Ilya fall back into each other’s lives - and into something softer, steadier, and openly theirs this time — they realise maybe they’re finally ready for the life they used to dream about.
Or: two hockey players who were each other’s first love reconnect ten years later and slowly build the family they always wanted.

Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.
So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.
Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

Summary
"Ugh, Harrington, you’re really… You’re so horribly straight, aren’t you."
"What’s that supposed to mean?!"
"It means…" Eddie drops his hands and takes a deep breath and when he looks at Steve his face looks… different. None of that usual Eddie attitude. In a voice much softer, eyes cast low, he says, "It means, when a guy tells another guy that they’re gay, it’s often because… Jesus fucking Christ." He sighs, rubs his hand over his jeans, swallows. "I’m into you. That’s all."
*
It's the summer after Vecna, everyone is figuring their shit out, and Steve learns that Eddie Munson is apparently into him.

Summary
Frank had raised the question.
“What is it that you want? You often talk about what you should want but never about what you truly want. So tell me Eddie, what do you want?”
He couldn’t answer. The question felt too exposing. It was as if looking too closely might reveal something he wasn’t ready to face. But now, apart from wanting Chris back, he realises he has no idea who he is. Or want he wants. Maybe Frank wasn’t suggesting a moustache, but he finds himself liking it.

Eddie tries to figure out what he wants.

Summary
“What can I do?” Adrien said desperately, his hand hovering over her back awkwardly as he contemplated how weird it would be to try and soothe her as his civilian self. “Please, Ladybug, there has to be something to do against Hawk Moth. There has to be something I can do…”
She mumbled something he couldn’t understand.
“Huh?” he said, crouching down on the floor next to her in an attempt to hear her better. “What was that?”
“C-Chat,” she cried weakly, her voice shaking. “I n-need Chat Noir.”
---
What if when Adrien opened the door of his bathroom after Ladybug discovered that the Miraculous were stolen she was still there? (Also, a few other differences in what happens next because I ignore season 5.)

Summary
When Dennis starts his ER rotation at PTMC, and meets his new attending, his world is – metaphorically and literally – flipped upside down. Michael Robinavitch is tall and broad, yes, but more than that he’s confident and competent. He behaves around Dennis like he knows what to do with him better than Dennis himself. His touch, voice, stare – every single thing about Robby feels grounding.
Or: Dennis doesn't see himself fitting his own image of sub bottom, Robby makes a point to change it for better.
