Summary
Grantaire and Bahorel go to a concert of the orchestra their friends Jehan and Feuilly play in. The beautiful Apollo-like percussionist breaks Grantaire out of his current art block. Grantaire and "Apollo" get into a really unnecessary debate, while waiting for their friends.
(very little plot, lots of vibes)

After the events of '86, after everything has settled down, and everything is calm, people start to remember. The pieces start to slot together, and nobody likes the picture it creates.There’s Something In The Woods, And We’re No Longer Children. [COMPLETE]
Steve Harrington is equal parts elusive and unobtainable, and all Eddie Munson wants to know is what's making those sounds in the woods.- Words:

Bookmarker's Notes
it's been years and I'm still regularly thinking of this fic and coming back to it, it's living in a part of my brain that is connected to my soul (which is to say: love this, cannot recommend this enough)

Summary
White, newly returned to Thailand, looks for his brother but can’t find him. Instead, he finds the garage gang.
“Hey, Black! Where the hell have you been? We said ‘lie low for a few days’ not ‘go AWOL for over a week’!”
“You know Black?” White demanded, and the other man blinked, confused. “Ah - my name is White. I’m Black’s twin brother. I’ve been looking for him.”
Or, the AU where Todd doesn’t put Black in a coma so someone else steps in to solve a problem for Tawi.

Bookmarker's Notes
beware, this really hits hard with the isolation and the hurt of hurt/comfort is very much emphasized
one of the few non-gram/black fics i really enjoyed in this fandom, the premise is so cool and well-executed
can't say i'm a really big fan of exhonerating todd, but he's less of a dick in this one and black's allowed to make mistakes (in my eyes) because he's precious to me -

Summary
“Just because it’s been awhile doesn’t mean I’m bad at it,” Gram says.
“You’re not.”
All eyes turn to White.
“Bad at flirting,” he clarifies, nodding to Gram. “He’s not."
(Aka: Gram has to flirt with a security guard for a gang mission and, shock of all shocks, Black is not the biggest fan of this plan.)

Summary
They’re millimeters from another kiss, drawing closer and closer when Sean looses his name from his lips and there’s a crash behind them.
Sean spins to action, White follows suit ready to take down whatever the fuck is coming at them.
He isn’t prepared for it to be Black – wide eyed and stone faced pointing the business end of a wrench at Sean's face.

Gram gets to be angry at White in this one, which i was missing in a lot of other fics!
also Tod, Dan and the father are sympathetic in this one, which makes it more of a personal drama with some crime & courtroom-stuff happening!
