    Summary

    To that woman at the shop, Merlin is going home to someone who loves him. The Merlin in her mind might spend the night eating cheap Chinese takeaway with Arthur, arms curled around each others’ shoulders while they watch a film. Merlin surprises him with a special Assam blend. Arthur hops in the shower with him and runs his fingers through his hair. They fall asleep together, and Arthur makes him truly atrocious eggs on toast in the morning, and Merlin gets to be loved back.

    Suddenly, Merlin wants to live in that world. He wants it so badly he feels sick.

     

    (Or: Merlin tells his coworkers that Arthur is his boyfriend. Predictably, it backfires).

    Summary

    Look, Derek is the worst. Everyone knows that. Their fearless leader is a total and complete failwolf.

    Which means the rest of them? Are kind of the worst too. They’re a ramshackle, slap dashed, sorry excuse for a pack that’s about a half second away from getting one of them killed. And this is a problem, because Stiles would really like to survive high school. Thanks.

    Still, nobody deserves what Derek has gone through. Nobody.

    And it’s about time somebody told him that.

    Summary

    Hiccup's desperately trying to figure out what exactly is the deal with Burgess ever since he moved in. He keeps dreaming of a lake. Or more specifically, drowning in one. He knows there's a lake, but there are no photos, no maps to where this lake is. Hiccup knows it exists, because the other residences know about it too, but whenever he asks for details they seem to know nothing, baring a few exceptions, and Hiccup can't help but feel like he's going insane.

    All of this, somehow, leads to him giving Jack Frost a four hour car ride. Jack, who's the center of all of this in one way or another.

    Summary

    “So… you’ll show me around the bar too? We’ll be colleagues?”

    Will remains suspended for a heartbeat, his eyes wide with a fleeting, stunned clarity. Then, a sheepish, airy laugh breaks through his surprise.

    “Oh! No, Mike. I’m not behind the bar.”

    A subtle tilt of his head draws Mike’s eye toward the stage. Will catches his bottom lip between his teeth, a nervous habit that betrays the sudden spike in the room’s electricity.

    “I’m a dancer here.”

    Oh.

    ~

    Or: Mike Wheeler finds a job as a bartender at a Burlesque Club in NYC and discovers that his childhood best friend / crush of a lifetime is a dancer. Will he survive seeing Will Byers stripping and dancing on stage every night? Will he be able to win him over, while also trying not to make a fool out of himself?

    Summary

    Sebastian is many different things to many different people...

    To his subscribers, he's 'DarkStar'. A faceless explicit camboy whose sharp tongue and sometimes mean attitude is a plus rather than a minus.

    To his fans and the public, he's Sebastian. Keyboardist, vocalist and second front man of the world famous band 'XC3'.

    To his friends and family, he's just 'Seb'. The same as he's always been, or at least they all assume as such...

    It's a struggle to stay on top of being so many different things to so many different people. Especially when he, himself, no longer knows exactly which one of those personas, if any of them, are actually him.

    In fact, the only time he can see himself for who he really is... is in the pictures taken and posted by whoever runs XC3XTC, a fan account for Sebastian on Instagram...

    A total stranger who truly seems to see him and captures him in images exactly the way he feels....
