Summary
Will swallows down his fear and stares at the door unblinkingly. Kill the monster. Take the risk. Cast fireball. Shoot the gun.
Of course, he hadn’t expected it to come from behind him.
The light burns bright into his retinas. The whole room shakes, wood paneling nearly busting at the seams.
A rolled seven. An unrewarded risk.
The beast’s got him.

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Georgia says slowly, like she thinks she misheard him. “You said you’re… married?”
Amanda raises her eyebrows and taps something onto her keyboard. “That’s good to know, Mr. Zimmermann, but I’m sure you know that many of our players are married.”
“Right, but this is… different.” Jack says.
“Jack,” Georgia says, “Why did you never mention this before? Do I know your wife?”
“I’m sure you do,” Jack says carefully, “Only… it’s not a wife. It’s Kent Parson.”
...
(So what if they’re not pretending to be married. They’re still pretending to be happily married.)

[podfic] All My Friends Would Ask Me What It's All Leading To by pods (be_brave13) for DependableDreamboat

Summary
With an undone white bow tie, a half-done-up white tuxedo shirt, and hairpins scattering the floor, Monty sits in his star trailer far later than he should be on set. Looking like utter shit, he nurses a half-finished brandy and smokes a fag while his chest rises and falls heavily. Usually, he’d worry about people popping into his trailer when he’s in this state, with the thin scars on his chest scars apparent for all to see and his hair undone from the bun that keeps it tightly wound, but he’s in too sorry of a state to care. Today had been an utter mess. It was Debra’s fault, to be fair, for making a pig’s ear of everything and trying to steal his spotlight. Then there was the issue with the rigging of the fly rail for the big finale and one would think that if Hollywood had figured out the bloody musical movie with Meet Me in St. Louis amongst others, they’d be able to do it for him. But no. Why would it be that easy for him?
A Missing Scenes Fic about Monty having a depression spiral after the "What's he doing instead?"/"I'm afraid I cannot tell you, what I went on to do"/"Who Knows" interaction during "A Glitzy Finale"

Summary
“You're in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won't tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you've done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you're tired."
Eddie doesn't know anything about poetry, but, somehow, this queer poetry book knows everything about him.

“I think you should marry me,” Buck says. Still not really looking at Eddie. Looking at Eddie.
Condensation drips on his thumb. He got back from Texas seven hours ago. He's known the man at his table for as many years. He doesn't- he's not- but who else is he ever going to love this much? And if Buck asks for something he needs- what is Eddie going to do besides his best to provide it? So: “Okay,” Eddie says. “Okay.”

Summary
“There's things,” Eddie chokes out, getting the closest he can in a Catholic church to saying what he means to say, words that he’s never said before unable to make an appearance even now. “There's… people… feelings that I— I want to experience differently than I have before, or maybe even for the first time.”
“Something… different than what you had with Anna and Marisol?” The priest hedges. “Something, even, different than what you and your wife had?” The words feel insinuating, but the tone stays light and unchallenging. The priest in Eddie’s mind has big hands and curious, soulful eyes and a chunky watch on his wrist, like he could be anyone. A blond man at a bar that Eddie’s eyes keep coming back to, for no reason at all.
“Yeah,” Eddie confesses. “Yeah, I’m just starting to think that… maybe there’s more to it all than I thought. Maybe, I can ask for what I thought wasn’t allowed. And I can choose what I want instead of what everyone else thinks I should have.”

Summary
"You're right, I... I lost my son - however temporarily, and I'll never forgive myself, but if anything, I just..." Briefly, his eyes flicker down to Buck's lips. Buck can't stop himself from doing the same. He's only a man. "This isn't out of nowhere, Buck - you know that. I lost the most important person in the world to me - but..." They're leaning closer now - mostly Eddie, Buck thinks, although he certainly isn't stopping it. "...the second most important person in the world to me is right here, right now, and you're..." he trails off again, breath hot as it washes over Buck's lips, their eyes falling closed. Buck swallows. "I'd love to be more of a gentleman about this, and I mean this in the most abstract and metaphorical, and least possessive way possible, but in the spirit of not wasting any more time than we already have, Buck..." the words follow each other quickly through a single, whispered breath. "...you're fucking crazy if you think I'm letting you go on that date."
"Eddie, you think I'm going anywhere, you're fucking crazy."

Summary
“Okay,” Mike echoes. “So, I was – thinking. We should sleep together.”
Will, for some reason, still looks lost, but he looks cute – sweet, like that, pink cheeks and eyes wide and glossy and the slight furrow of his eyebrows like Mike has given him something outlandish.
“I,” he starts, “don’t understand.”
Mike proposes a sleepover.
Unsurprisingly, no sleeping is done.podfic length: spoken version 29:43 | whispered version 39:11

Summary
Whatever you do, don’t think about her, Shannon, six feet under, carnations at her grave.
And don’t think about Buck, ever-changing, sleeping on your couch at home, hands folding over faded towels ‘cause he’s doing your laundry without you asking and fingers tracing down your books, copies left over from high school; eyes roving over your body in locked-away dreams that you don’t discuss, not even at therapy; lips that haven’t ever touched you but lips that know the touch of another ー another man ー just don’t think about it.
Or: Eddie goes on his date with Kim and totally, absolutely, does not pine after Shannon or Buck the entire time. (Mission failed.) This is a story about the comedy and tragedy of intense comphet.
