Summary
Dick repense parfois à cette nuit dans le puisard, à la voix de Bruce, à l’intimité terrifiante, sans commune mesure avec le sens des mots prononcés mais simplement née du fait que Bruce ait répondu à sa demande, lui ait parlé sans s’arrêter quand il en avait besoin alors qu’ils communiquent si peu, alors que tous leurs mots sont froids et efficaces, liés à la mission. Il réfléchit à ce qu’a dit Bruce ce soir-là, à la cadence des syllabes ; à ce qu’il n’a pas dit.
Ou : la fic dans laquelle ils se comportent enfin comme des adultes et se parlent (ou du moins essaient).

Summary
Harry finally realizes that he has trouble keeping lovers both because of his looks and because he isn’t very good at sex. He does what he can to alter that, but it seems he’s never going to be good enough to satisfy a wizard lover. When Draco Malfoy offers, Harry thinks a casual relationship with him might be the solution to his problems. But he should have remembered one thing: when it comes to Harry, Malfoy has a problem staying casual.

Summary
It’s enough to make him go with a vague, shaky hunch – enough to make him put just a tiny bit of pressure on Derek’s chest, something that Derek could easily resist – but Derek doesn’t. Keeps his eyes closed and lets himself be pushed, and Stiles gently nudges him into the chair behind him, and – shaking the entire time – crawls into his lap and straddles his thighs, his heart kicking up even faster at the feel of Derek underneath him, and the almost lost expression on Derek’s face as he opens his eyes again.

Summary
For a moment, there’s nothing but them staring at each other, far too close and dangerous in the small space left between them, and Derek desperately needs to leave before he does something unforgivable – but then a new wave of dizziness swamps him, nearly pulling him under; and when he opens his eyes again, Stiles is helping him to sit on the bed, his hands gentle on his shoulders.

Summary
When Derek and Cora leave town, Stiles figures out pretty quickly that there’s a stupid Derek-shaped hole inside his chest, right next to that damn darkness around his heart that Deaton had warned them about. Then, Derek invites him to the Atlantic Ocean, where a certain couple of werewolves have made their new home, and Stiles slowly comes to the realization that his definitely-more-than-just-a-crush might not be completely unrequited, after all.

Summary
AU! Stereotypes insist that tattoo artists are usually terrifyingly intimidating with big muscles and thick accents. And then there’s Phil Lester: lanky, awkward, and ironically afraid of needles, yet arguably London’s finest tattoo artist and manager of the infamous Ink Poisoning. Despite the fact that Phil’s life is considered, by some, to be a bit unorthodox, there’s nothing in the world he’d change about it… except maybe he’d like someone to come home to other than his hairless cat, Dobby. But it goes without saying that after the catastrophe that was his last relationship, Phil can’t help but to cling to the safety net that is remaining single.
And then he meets Dan Howell, the budding florist who takes over the flower shop across the street and soon after becomes “the pastel flower prince of his heart” (as dubbed by Phil’s best mate Katie). Despite insisting that he feels no romantic attraction to the florist, Phil can’t deny that that needles aren’t the only thing that makes his heart race anymore.

"You know," Stanford says, rippling the silence that's settled like a heavy fog. "You kind of remind me of Chaos Theory."

Summary
“Please, Sherlock, I’m begging you.” John’s voice was back to irritated. “Shut up. What do you know about it, anyway? It’s not like you’ve got people knocking down the door for you.”
Sherlock didn’t let himself feel the sting. He and John both knew it was by choice Sherlock was a romantic recluse. “I’m merely trying to help you find the root of your problem so you can solve it, get laid, and stop being so bloody grumpy.”
“I’m not fucking grumpy.”
Sherlock snorted.

Summary
Stellar Outcasts: Stars (or other heavenly bodies) outside a recognized galaxy system.
After the war and the fall of the First Order, a new form of government is being built in Hanna City and a new kind of normal has come to the galaxy. For Finn, Poe, Rose, and the returned Ben Solo, this means brokering treaties and writing legislation. Rey spends her days occupied with retrofitting spacecraft and acting as a kind of enforcer for the new galactic Council.
She also spends most of her nights in Ben Solo’s bed.
After one particular mission it becomes clear that not all of Rey’s problems were solved when the Resistance won the war. A lifetime of deprivation and self-sufficiency isn’t something that goes away on its own.
OR: a canonverse friends-to-lovers AU featuring Rey’s intimacy issues and Ben’s patience.

Summary
I was made keenly aware, from an early age, that a Pitch boy wants for nothing.
"It's distasteful," my father once said.
He said it so dispassionately I could tell he hardly wanted to mention it. The matter was clear, though, from the way he moved about our world. I never saw the great Malcolm Grimm desire for anything. He took what was rightfully his. He did so with a carefully-indifferent demeanor and a wardrobe full of impeccably-tailored suits.
Wanting is beneath someone like me.
But here I am, beneath Simon Snow, wanting more than I ever have in my life.

Bookmarker's Notes
“It’s not work,” Alec said. “Magnus, you deserve everything you want.”
Magnus scoffed. “No one deserves everything they want.”
“You do.”
Magnus had to tuck his face back into Alec’s neck at that. Even just looking at Alec was too much in the face of such declarations, he had to remove one of his senses to deal with it.
Alec didn’t say any more, and neither did Magnus, too overwhelmed by it all to speak and preferring to just rest on Alec’s chest, relishing in the heat of his bare skin.

“Delicious,” he repeats with a scoff, then grabs Fraser’s hand to steal the crumbs that are still on his fingers.
When Fraser flinches at the touch of his mouth, Ray’s pretty sure it’s not a modesty thing. There’s no one really around; and their co-workers probably have a betting pool on when they’ll finally admit they’re together. Seeing them is bound to make at least one person happy.
“I should go wash my hands,” Fraser says, not looking at Ray’s face, not looking like himself at all. “Excuse me.”
