    Summary

    The letter is from the mayor, which doesn’t immediately raise any alarm bells. He’s always sending out reminders for local events or random requests for assistance, so Ryan opens it without much thought.

    Andrew’s curling handwriting announces: Dear Ryan, I would like to give you some information about an upcoming event: the Feast of the Winter Star. It’s a time for the community to come together and think back on all the good fortune we’ve had this year. A favorite tradition is the “secret gift exchange”, where everyone in town is randomly assigned to someone else. This year, your secret friend is: Shane. Don’t tell anyone! The feast will take place on the 25th at the town square. See you then! - Mayor Ilnyckyj

    “Oh,” Ryan says thoughtfully. “That sounds like fun!” And then, he rereads the part that says: This year, your secret friend is: Shane, and everything comes to a screeching halt.

    He looks down at his cat, who is calmly cleaning his paw. “Goldsworth, I think I might be in some deep shit.”

    Or, Ryan, humble farmer, gets assigned the local hot doctor for the Winter Star gift exchange, and it goes about as well as you'd expect (poorly)

    Summary

    “Evening,” Shane says, though it’s leaning closer to midnight than to dinnertime. “Heard from my deputy that somethin’ was afoot down here.” 

    TJ carefully tips his head, gesturing at the table of men. “They rolled in about an hour ago. It took me until now to recognize them—Bergara and his boys.” 

    Shane looks at the table again, and this time, one of the men is looking back. Even across the room, his eyes are fierce and devastating to gaze upon, like taking a pair of bullets to the gut. Messy black hair escapes the brim of his hat, brushing the top of a long, vivid scar that runs from forehead to cheek over his right eye, and the expression on his handsome face is as arrogant as it is enticing, like he’s inviting anyone who seeks him out to start a fistfight and end it with a good, hard fuck. Shane would know that face anywhere, and has seen it on more WANTED posters than he could ever hope to count.

    Or, Shane is the sheriff of a town that infamous bounty hunter-disguised-criminal Ryan Bergara has set his sights on, and will do whatever it takes to keep Bergara from burning it to the ground

    Summary

    “We’d have to agree,” Luke jumps in. “Not about the demons part, but that you’re way better than Carrie. That girl and her attitude are rank.”

    “I think her choreography is kind of cool,” Alex says. “And the outfits Dirty Candy all wear. Lots of glitter. Lots of sparkles. Two of my faves.”

    “Well, thanks,” Julie replies, flustered and a little endeared. “I’m sure you guys rock.”

    “We rock the hardest.” Reggie thinks for a moment, fingers steepled under his chin. “If we had a place to practice tonight, we could show you. But you’ll just have to take our word for it.”

    “I thought we were—” Luke starts, but Alex cuts him off with a pointed shake of his head. “Ah, well. Sorry, Julie, I guess you don’t get to listen to Sunset Curve rock your socks off after all.”

    “If you guys want, you can come over to my house. We have a studio out back that I use to write music in. You can dazzle me with some of Sunset Curve’s greatest hits.”

    Or, a no ghost!AU where Julie meets the boys at school and, after inviting them to the studio one night, her house accidentally ends up becoming the Molina Home for Wayward Teenage Rockstars

    Summary

    Shane’s eyes trail slowly over Ryan’s bare chest and legs, catching on his tight briefs. They’re tight enough that Shane can definitely see the outline of Ryan’s hardening cock through them, and this makes his eyes darken further, makes Ryan want to squirm and thrash and beg for Shane to come touch him.

    “You look so pretty like that,” Shane continues, still in that same unhurried drawl. He flexes his fingers, until the hand that’s touching his fly is spread out over his entire groin, touching himself through his impeccable black chinos. “On display for me, following directions for once. I bet your panties are so tight they’re gonna leave marks on your skin when I take them off of you later.”

    Ryan jolts forward, unable to help it. “Shane.”

    “Shhh,” Shane shushes him. “No whining. I said to behave, Ryan. This will be over sooner if you’re good.”

    Or, one afternoon, Ryan pushes Shane's buttons in the hopes that it'll make him get rough once they're home, but instead, Shane makes Ryan sit on the couch and watch him jerk off without being able to touch (featuring some dirty talk, lots of whining, and Something New for them to use in their sexual endeavors)

    Summary

    “Well,” Ryan continues, “it’s a dubious announcement, not a rad one. I really don’t know how to go about this without bringing the house down. I don’t want to alarm you all on this tranquil Thursday night.”

    Eugene points out, “It’s the week before midterms, dude. Peace is nonexistent.”

    Ryan considers this for a long moment. “You make a stellar point, my stellar bro. Okay, here goes: we believe, due to plenty of evidence and plenty of speculation and educational guessing, that Earth is about to be invaded by aliens. Specifically, right here at UCLA.”

    Another silence falls in the kitchen, this one mildly confused. Eventually, when it grows to be unbearable, Steven clears his throat and asks: “Ryan, are you saying that you think aliens are going to invade our campus?”

    “Very imminently,” he agrees.

    Andrew turns his disbelieving stare from Ryan to the looming figure at his right. “And you’re on board with this claim, Pres 2?”

    Shane states: “Most definitely, dudes. A villainous invasion is upon us.”

    Or, frat presidents Ryan & Shane warn their brothers of a most heinous incoming alien invasion and chaos ensues

    Summary

    “We’ll be fine,” Ryan repeats, still brandishing his sandwich in a threatening manner. “Just wait and see. Our kids are going to come back and grow up to be botanists and environmental conservationists.” 

    Annie, the music teacher, rolls her eyes. “Your kids are going to come back with poison ivy and heat stroke.” 

    Andrew protests, “They’ll be wearing long clothes! Because it’ll be sixty degrees! Which rules out heat stroke!” 

    Curly, a kindergarten teacher, nods unconvincingly. “Yup, I bet. We’ll be holding our breaths.” 

    When they all part to resume classes, Andrew stops and tells Ryan, “Don’t listen to them, man. We’re gonna rock this shit, and our kids are going to beg us to take them hiking every week. We’re gonna rock this shit.” 

    “I know we are. We’ll show the others just how totally rad and down with the kids we are, and how we can positively influence their outlook on Earth Science.” 

    Or, Ryan and Andrew, two fifth grade teachers, decide to take their students to a nature center for a field trip and end up falling head over ass in love the the park rangers assigned to accompany them, which doesn't bode well for either of their professional credentials

    Summary

    Richie, Stan, and Bill laugh with each other as they progress through the quesadilla line and then head towards their usual table. The others are already there, eating and chatting, and when Richie spots Eddie, he’s suddenly slammed with the image of him dressed up in business clothes and giving Beverly’s camera a look that could bring grown men to their knees.

    He keeps his promise to be cool about it all the way up until he takes his seat next to Eddie. Stan and Bill get sucked into the table’s conversation immediately, but Eddie is just hanging out and eating, so he’s free to turn to Richie and ask:

    “Hey, how was your day?”

    To which Richie responds with: “I got to see you in a wicked pair of business slacks, so it went pretty well. How was your day?”

    Eddie opens his mouth, closes it, and then opens it again, so that he can yell: “You told Richie of all people?!” over at Beverly.

    “Told him what?” Mike asks, confused, and Bev replies with: “It was an accident!”

    Or, Beverly talks Eddie into being her long-term model for her Visual Thinking and Photography I classes, and Richie suffers

    Summary

    “Look,” Shane says abruptly, rocking up onto the balls of his feet. Ryan is standing on a stepladder in front of him, desperately trying to find the last box of coconut water that’s supposedly and allegedly located in the walk-in cooler. Shane’s pointing vaguely at the corner that he has been inspecting for the past minute and a half, in a way that does not lead Ryan to the coconut water’s whereabouts. “It’s right fucking there.”

    Ryan, because he loves and trusts Shane, takes another look and still comes up empty. “All I see up here is whipped cream and some limes. There’s no coconut water in sight. I swear to sweet baby Jesus that there is no coconut water in this goddamn walk-in, Shane Madej.”

    “I think there’s something to be said about using ‘sweet baby Jesus’ and ‘goddamn’ in the same sentence, but to each their own."

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, you want me to do what?”

    Shane, unconcerned by Ryan’s tone, repeats himself. “I said, I want you to go wedding dress shopping with me.”

    Ryan squints at him over his burrito. “Why?”

    “Why does anyone go shopping for anything? I need and/or want one.”

    “Jesus Christ—I get that you need to go shopping for a wedding dress, big guy. What I want to know is what you plan on using the dress for once you’ve obtained it.”

    Shane supplies: “It’s for that project I told you we’re doing in Horror in American Film. The alternate recreation one.”

    “Oh, yeah!” Ryan nods, remembering the project from when he took that class the previous year. “That’s what the wedding dress is for?”

    “Of course. The Bride of Frankenstein can’t become a bride without a wedding dress, you godless man.”

    Or, Shane convinces Ryan to go wedding dress shopping with him for a class project and fails to mention the bit where Ryan is supposed to try the dresses on as Andrew Ilnyckyj's placeholder. For science.

    Summary

    “Ryan’s the best at it, I swear on the Holy Bible.”

    He looks up to find Shane grinning crookedly across the table. Ryan’s heart stutters at the sight of it, and then twists at the sight of Tyler’s unimpressed sneer, something Shane doesn’t notice at all.

    “What?” he asks stupidly.

    “We were talking about editing. Tyler does song covers on YouTube, and I was telling him about the little ghoul adventures we film and how quickly you can edit those videos. Supernaturally fast, if you will.”

    “It’s ‘cause I gotta catch those ghouls and prove you wrong,” Ryan teases. “My entire purpose behind those videos is to prove you wrong.”

    “Oh, I am perfectly aware, Mr. Bergara.”

    Ryan goes to reply, a joke about Shane lacking The Sight ready to go, but Tyler beats him to the punch.

    “I don’t believe in ghosts whatsoever. They’re total bullshit. I’m sure everything you guys hear on your, uh, ghoul adventures is nothing but the wind and animal sounds.”

    Or, some tool from Shane's creative writing class accidentally throws his drink on Shane one day, decides to stick around afterwards, and turns Ryan's life into an episode of As The World Turns

    Summary

    Once Ryan comes to terms with the fact that he’s attracted to men, he decides to express himself in a direct, straightforward way. Because expressing oneself in a direct, straightforward way is the key to success, especially within the realm of coming out.

    “So—apparently I like penises, and I don't care what you do with that information."

    Steven blinks several times. “What I would love to do with that information is immediately purge it from my brain.”

    “Dude, I was trying to have a heartfelt moment with you!”

    “Yeah, but now all I can think about is you in the near vicinity of multiple penises, so! Not a great start, Ryan.”

    Or, Ryan decides to come out at work in the dumbest way possible and it somehow turns out great (as great as blowing your best friend in the public, first floor bathroom can ever turn out)

    Summary

    “Enjoy recess?”

    Ryan doesn’t recoil, even as his stomach does. “Yes.”

    Shane Madej doesn’t back down at the cold, one-worded answer. On the contrary, it makes his grin widen until Ryan can see every single one of his big, pointed teeth.

    “I’m sure the City of Angels really does it for you, Bergmeister. Lots of innocent, impressionable souls. It’s like an all-you-can-eat buffet out there.”

    “Sounds like it’s more your speed. And don’t call me that—I’ll light you up with Holy Fire before you even have the time to take it back.”

    “Aw, don’t be like that,” Shane cooes, stooping closer. Ryan hates him, hates the icy-hot cavity that forms in his gut at the sight of his unruly hair and his black, black eyes. “L.A.’s big enough for the both of us, sweetheart. We can share.”

    Or, Steven Lim, an angel, and Andrew Ilnyckyj, a demon, flee Heaven and Hell to be together, and Ryan Bergara, an angel, is forced to serve on the jury for their trial. He hates every single second of it, and Shane Madej, one of the oldest Greater demons around, is constantly there to remind him why Heaven and Hell should never be allowed to fraternize.

    Summary

    “Hey, Captain Kirk.”

    Eddie looks at him, scowling. “What, Richie?”

    “Where is it that you go?”

    “What?”

    There’s really no other way to ask it, Richie reasons with himself, and rolls with it. He knocks on Eddie’s forehead again, softer this time, and asks:

    “When you get lost in your head. Where is it that you sneak off to?”

    Eddie doesn’t say anything for a moment. They continue to walk towards his house, stepping over bumps in the sidewalk, stepping on cracks, and avoiding the half-eaten apple that has been in front of the Andersons’ house for three days in a row now. Richie thinks he’s not going to answer the question, or tell Richie to leave him alone, but then Eddie sighs and cranes his head back to look at the sky again.

    “I don’t know exactly,” Eddie admits, voice hushed. “All I know is that it’s somewhere far away from here. Somewhere with a skyline and no walls.”

    Or, the summer before senior year, Eddie keeps getting lost in his head and Richie keeps trying to find out where he goes

    Summary

    “Your turn, Ry Ry.”

    Ryan looks down to find only one piece of paper remaining. “Wow, so much selection to choose from.”

    “No time for your negativity, Scrooge. Your Secret Santa deserves a better attitude.”

    Ryan sticks his tongue out, but takes the slip of paper. He’s loudly yelling Give me Jen, please please please give me Jen as he unfolds it, but he’s too busy begging for her to be truly prepared for what he ends up getting:

    A simple but damning SHANE in Andrew’s scribbly handwriting.

    Or, Ryan gets Shane for Secret Santa and has a subsequent breakdown about what to get him

    Summary

    “I thought I imagined it,” Ryan says eventually, still looking at the other side of the woods. “I had to know.”

    For a moment, there’s nothing but the wind in the trees. And then he hears the low growl that’s haunted his every passing thought for days. The creature creeps closer, a rumbling noise following the growl. It sounds threatening, but also confused.

    “Know what?” it hisses, close enough that Ryan can feel when it speaks, and then he turns around.

    He turns around, looks up into those piercing eyes, and says: “I had to know why you didn’t kill me.”

    Or, Ryan moves to Michigan to find himself again, and ends up finding more than he could have ever bargained for.

    Derek realizes that it’s worse than it was at first glance. It’s not just that Will doesn’t know what scene they’re referring to—it’s apparent that he doesn’t even know what movie they’re referring to.

    Summary

    Shane gets the call at 2:51 in the morning.

    “‘Lo?”

    “Madej, I need you here immediately.”

    In some other lifetime, it would have taken Shane at least twenty minutes to wake up from a call like this. But after seven years of working at a hospital, he’s almost coherent by the time the call hits the ten second mark.

    “What happened?” Shane asks, pushing himself up with a groan.

    On the other end, there’s a slight pause, and then Quinta’s strained, tight voice tells him: “There was a fire.”

    Or, Shane is an ER nurse who gets called in to help with the aftermath of a huge fire and discovers that no one knows what has happened to his firefighter partner.

    Summary

    “You’re the most obnoxious person I’ve ever met,” Shane says over the sound of Ryan’s workout noises, which are equal parts distracting and hideous. “Why can’t you just be a lazy asshole like the rest of us?”

    “I have a figure and reputation to maintain,” Ryan grits out, not even pausing to look at him. “Can’t be a big, bad ghost hunter without my guns.”

    Or, Shane has a thing for Ryan's muscles and Ryan has a thing for Shane having a thing.

    Summary

    He can’t believe he’s hearing this come out of Shane’s mouth. He says as much out loud. “I can’t believe this. You think I’m a wimp? Even throughout all of the demon encounters and my rippling muscles?”

    Shane snorts loudly. “Ryan, I love your muscles. But they don’t make you brave if you aren’t willing to do daring things, like bungee jumping or skydiving.”

    “But I’d punch the fuck out of someone if they ever tried to hurt you. That’s brave, right?”

    His boyfriend’s face softens, and he risks letting go of the wheel with one hand to give Ryan’s left bicep a nice, hard squeeze. “That’s real chivalrous of you, Hercules, but I was talking about being adventurously brave, not adrenaline-fueled brave.”

    Or, shockingly, Ryan and Shane's sex life gets an upgrade because of a silly little argument they have one night in the car.
