Summary
It’s weird getting old when you never thought you’d live past 25, feeling your bones creaking and popping, your body getting too old for this shit. It’s weird when you look in the mirror and see an old man staring back at you, wrinkled and grey haired.
Mickey spends a lot of time thinking now. He’s been alive a long time, 74 years, so he has so much to think about. He spends entire days sitting on the porch with Ian talking about the ways the world’s changed since they were young. “We’ve turned into grumpy fucking old men,” Mickey says.
Ian snorts. “Mick, you were always a grumpy old man.”or, ian and mickey look back on the life they've built together in the grandpa fic nobody asked for but everyone secretly wanted

Summary
Mickey had been trying to put Ian Gallagher out of his head, resign himself to the fact that Ian was the best person on this stupid planet and Mickey had fucked up his chance and would now live a sad and boring life of weird hookups with closeted men, when one day Mandy came back from the Gallaghers, sat down next to Mickey at the kitchen table, and stared at him quietly.
"He's dating someone," she said, and stood up and walked away.
(set about a year in the future, so like season 5)

Summary
He would love to be the kind of person who could laze around in bed with his lover (it was the term they’d settled on at Ilya’s insistence, dreadful) but Shane just wasn’t built that way.
Or: one year post-cottage, are Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, who are so good at so many things, any good at all at being in love?

Summary
“I’m trying to figure out,” Rose wonders aloud. “Are you always a complete prick? Just with women? Or just when you lose a game?”
Ilya barks a laugh, shocked and almost delighted, and his smile spreads wide enough that Rose can see all those pearly whites of his that are so much nicer than she expected any hockey player’s to be. “All the time,” he grins, “all the time. However much of an asshole Hollander has told you I am, double it.”
She answers truthfully, shrugs her shoulders in her tiny silver dress. “He hasn’t mentioned you at all.”
After a shitshow of an evening in a Montreal nightclub, Ilya wakes up the next morning in Shane’s bed. Only, he’s not in Shane’s bed — Rose Landry is, and he’s in Rose Landry’s body, and she’s in his. Well, what the fuck are they supposed to do with that?

Summary
In a universe with no Federation, where First Contact never happened, Jim Kirk is your average popular guy. On Christmas Eve, thanks to a series of strange events, Jim finds himself in a parallel universe where the Milky Way is under the control of an alien race and ends up as a servant in the residence of the Royal House of Vulcan. As he starts adapting to his new life, Jim's curiosity fucks everything up—but hey, Vulcans shouldn't have told him that he isn't allowed to enter this wing of the palace; Jim has never been good at following rules.
Or,
This is the story of how Jim Kirk became a Princess ("Prince Consort, Bones!") of the United Planets of Vulcan Kingdom.
