Summary
Sam crosses his arms, his gaze again drifting back to the mint chocolate cake. “…you really think they’d believe us?”
“Why shouldn’t they? You know me better than anyone since I woke up from the ice,” Steve said. Teasingly, he chucks at Sam’s arm. “If I can’t fake an engagement with you, I can’t fake it with anyone.”

Summary
It’s hard watching Sam suffer a panic attack. It’s worse knowing the trigger might have been avoided if he weren’t dating Captain America.

Summary
They had no special calling to try to stop the rise of the dragons. They were not Dragonborn, nor were they equipped with skills above and beyond any other adventurer. Uhura and Spock were mere scholars of the arcane, devotees of Julianos. All they had was their intellect, their access to dragonlore, and the determination to try.
After three quarters of a year spent chasing down dead ends and evading Thalmor assassins, they’ve finally come close to an answer, secreted away in the deepest chambers of Alftand. But another pair of adventurers threatens to interfere.
Skyrim AU, one-shot.

Summary
The premise of Married at First Sight is simple: get matched to a complete stranger by a group of relationship experts and meet your future spouse on your wedding day. So far, this 'scientific' experiment has only been limited to the straights, but for the upcoming season of Married at First Sight UK, things are going to be different: it will be a queer-only season.
Joe applies because of a bet, Nicky applies because his friends bully him into it. Both of them are sure they won't be going any further than the application process, except... they do. But that's fine. They'll just meet at the ceremony, get married, try not to murder each other for the mandatory six weeks, and then they will get divorced and go their own, very separate ways.
Or will they?

Summary
Nicky feels a smile slip onto his face as he takes it all in. Nicky is teaching again. He’s got a classroom that’s his in a good school; Nicky gets to make this space his own, he gets to put his passion for watching other people learn and grow somewhere, he gets to watch as student’s eyes widen when they finally understand something they’ve been stuck on. As those thoughts sink in, as Nicky lets himself realize that he’s back to doing what he loves, someone knocks on his door.
Nicky pushes himself off the wall and looks over to see who it is, only to lose all of his higher brain functions when he sees a very beautiful man standing in his doorway, wearing dark wash jeans and a blue t-shirt. He is possibly the most beautiful man Nicky has ever seen in his entire life, with his curly hair and thick beard and his arms-
“Hey, you’re Nicky, right? I ran into Quynh and she said you came in today, so I thought I would introduce myself. I’m Joe.” Joe offers Nicky his hand and Nicky takes it after he blinks a few times too many. Joe’s smile is very pretty and even more distracting. He needs to get it together, but he can’t, because Joe’s hand is so warm that Nicky misses it when Joe takes his hand back.

Summary
Nicolò Di Genova is home for the summer after he graduated college - except, things are tense and strange. His Dad, a big shot lawyer who works for Merrick Enterprises, has hired extra security, and seems a bit miffed he came home for the summer instead of touring Europe like he had wanted him, too. But Nicky was just trying to spend his summer in the pool while he works some things out . . .
Joe is hired as extra security to watch over a guy who knows nothing about life (or so he thinks). This is his last job, and then he’s done - he’s out, and can just focus on what he needs to do next. But what was supposed to be an easy job of watching a rich kid sunbathing while his Dad coordinates his grand jury testimony with the DEA, turns into something much more dangerous. It’s not just Nicky’s Dad who is in danger - it’s Nicky, too.
Because someone has decided he wants him all to himself . . . and it’s not just Joe.

Summary
The “Partners Weekend” at Merrick Industries was a bit of a joke, and in more ways than one. Who actually had time to spend a long couples weekend with people you worked with? But Joe had slaved away too many hours at his desk to blow off his chance at a promotion just like that. Particularly when all he had to actually do for it was spend a weekend in some manor house in the English countryside with his colleagues.
Which led him to his current predicament: Who of his friends would agree to pose as his spouse for four days – and at one week’s notice?
Double fake-dating AU: Joe asks Quynh to pretend to be his wife for an important work social at Merrick Industries. Andy brings her good friend Nicky under a similar guise. Only of course none of them are actually straight, and of course none of them are willing to admit that.
A dumbasses-to-lovers story.

Summary
When a mission goes wrong, the Old Guard team discovers to their consternation that Nicky has forgotten his entire life back to his first death. Which is especially unfortunate because, at the time of Nicky’s first death, he was a murderous Crusader hell-bent on killing Joe.
Now, stuck in their safe house with a furious religious fanatic who believes the Siege of Jerusalem was that morning and he’s been kidnapped by his enemies, Andy, Booker, and Joe struggle to figure out how to restore Nicky’s memories, while Joe faces the prospect of a future where he never does.
(Rating changed from T to E as of Ch. 12, however, there are notes so the chapter can be skipped to maintain a T rating if the reader so chooses.)
