Summary
Lan Wangji is all too aware of Wei Ying – the press of his temple, the sound of his breathing, the soft fall of his hair and its faint scent of peppercorn.

Summary
Over the next few days, the situation didn’t improve; hell, if anything, it escalated.
Raleigh’s words seemed to have struck a nerve somewhere, and at seemingly random moments his skin would crawl and he’d find a weird Australian insult somewhere on his body. In response, Raleigh would either write something rude or simply draw the most ridiculous angry face he could manage. This would customarily be accompanied by a smirk down at the inevitably terrible picture.
It was the most unapologetically spiteful Raleigh had been in his entire life.

Summary
Stan sat hunched beneath the lacy shade of a nearby basswood tree. His knees were drawn up almost to his chest; one arm was curled around them, while the other held his book - which, unsurprisingly, featured a small bird on the cover. Nothing moved around his pale face aside for his dark eyes and his curls, which the breeze twisted with gentle fingers.
‘You better not be painting me,’ Stan said without stirring at all.

Summary
Raleigh laughed softly.
‘What?’
‘Just…Your mood improves a lot when you have a puppy in your arms, doesn’t it?’
At this, Chuck merely shrugged, probably proving the truth of that statement.
‘What can I say, I have a soft spot for the tiny bastards.’

Summary
‘Can you please stop taking photos of me failing at making a cup of noodles?’
Finn tried, he really did, to sound irritated - he’d even settle for mildly vexed, at the very least - but seeing his roommate Poe Dameron giggle helplessly as he zoomed in ridiculously far on, alternately, Finn’s face or the doomed noodle cup, it really wasn’t in him.

that's the only thing keeping me on fire by softjohn for GutterBall

Summary
In any case, Chuck needed to get away, and fast, otherwise this joyful occasion would end with an unfortunate homicide. Nothing spoiled a wedding like disembowelment.
Unluckily, Chuck was fairly sure that spending time with any of the disgustingly cheerful guests would both ruin their mood and inflame his; if he had to hear Great-Aunt Olivia titter effervescently one more time he’d bloody well shove a kebab stick straight into his eye socket.
And so, he reached his last resort - the one person who seemed to hate attending this wedding even more than he did.

What Better Is There To Sigh For? by softjohn for WeekendWriter

Summary
From a Tumblr ask meme, I present a Chaleigh "meeting in prison" AU!
Raleigh Becket turned a page of his book with a slow and calm appreciation, determinedly ignoring the clangour of shouts and rattling chains nearing his cell. His relaxed pose - one hand behind his head, the other supporting the book resting on his stomach, one leg bent, the other lying flat on the mint-green bedsheets - remained unchanging, despite the emphatic river of curses flowing through the barred door.
The sound of another page turning was lost beneath the metallic slam of the door against the wall, and as Raleigh hummed at a particularly interesting sentence, two guards shoved someone in with evident relief.
Said someone then threw himself bodily against the swiftly-shut door, shouting obscenities which would’ve made Samuel L. Jackson blush.

Summary
Raleigh pinched Chuck’s ear. “Stop that,” he said. “Brat.”
“Aren’t you meant to be tough, mate?” Chuck grinned. “I thought you lived in Alaska.”
“I thought you were slightly older than twelve, but apparently we were both wrong.”

Summary
“Never woulda pegged you to be a Fuze man, Flag,” Lawton drawled, appearing around the side of the bookshelf. He was tall, lean, and unfortunately attractive in a dark red shirt and a leather jacket, but any interest Rick might’ve felt when Lawton had joined DC State High two years ago had been very quickly erased by his insufferable personality. He had the attention span of a gerbil and enjoyed flicking spitballs at the teacher with uncanny accuracy. This inevitably held up the class, wasting valuable learning time.
In other words, he was an idiot.

Summary
Raleigh’s small huff of laughter caught Chuck’s fading attention and he raised his head, eyes heavy, to see Raleigh smirking at him over his shoulder.
‘Never would’ve pegged you for such an aggressive cuddler,’ Raleigh said, clearly amused. Chuck grinned back at him.
‘I’m full of surprises, mate.’
Raleigh’s smirk faded into something softer. ‘Yeah, I noticed.'

Summary
‘Thanks for always keeping my dad safe,’ the kid said with more confidence. ‘Bye!’ She gave a small wave, and almost automatically Rick touched his forefinger to his forehead in a casual salute.
During the ride back, he stoically ignored the guard’s attempt at subtle staring. Lawton was a little harder to ignore.
‘She’s a good kid, right?’ he asked, bracing his elbows on his thighs and leaning forwards expectantly. ‘You’re soft, Flag, completely mushy. Like a marshmallow.’
‘Shut it before I shut it for you,’ Rick replied acerbically. Lawton grinned.
‘I knew it, man.’
Rick was really way too tired for this shit.

Summary
Scarface seemed to be going for the bull-straight-into-them-and-hope-they-fall-over tactic, a ploy which Dean was well-acquainted with. Unfortunately the mysterious figure didn’t seem so fond of it and watched coolly as the man ran straight at it and bounced right off like he’d hid a brick wall.
As Dean stumbled closer, wheezing, he saw that the mysterious figure was actually Trenchoat Jesus from the car. Which made a lot of sense when he thought about it.
‘Hey, dude, you totally just decked a drug dealer,’ Dean panted, bracing his hands on his knees and looking up at the guy. ‘That’s pretty awesome.’
Trenchcoat Jesus blinked. ‘Thank you,’ he replied, after a pause.

Summary
‘Oh please, look longer,’ Bucky drawled, ripping out a couple paper towels from the dispenser. ‘Might as well take a damn photo while you’re at it.’
He looked up into the mirror to see that Rogers was still standing in the same place wearing that appalled expression, like he’d never seen an injury before. Something about it drained a bit of the searing anger from Bucky’s mind and he turned, raising an eyebrow.
‘I ain’t a zoo animal, Rogers,’ he said.
