Summary
Oliver hated Felix. Hated him so bad that he plagued every thought, every dream, every breath of his. So much that Oliver was defined by Felix. Out of hate, though. Obviously. It was all hate and nothing else. Definitely. Yeah.
_
canon divergent fic where oliver didn't kill felix in the maze. more character study than plot tbh.

They've been fooling around since that first night they went out together. Starting things up was easy. Ending things, though... well, that's a bit more complicated.

Summary
Shrugging, Tom retorted, executing the final ‘g’ in his name as if it had gotten caught in his throat, “What, Greg? Did you drag Logan’s bloated corpse across to London, Weekend at Bernie’s style so I could have one last goodbye cuddle with my ex-father in law?”
“I thought you’d be happy to see me after five years,” he shrugged, imitating Tom but making himself a little smaller in the process, “Y’know after everything?”
Everything. After everything. There needed to be another word, more robust than everything, to describe simply how everything all that was.
It was exhausting just to try and skirt around it every day, and here it was towering over him as the corpse of Larry Bird being haunted by the ghost of a Victorian child.
“I’m absolutely thrilled, Greg or was that not obvious?”
“It’s not obvious”

Summary
The man’s eyes are icy and his gaze hasn’t budged from Greg’s face. It’s weirdly intimidating, and Greg has a half a mind to hop on a ship back to New York the next chance he gets.
“I’m, uh.” Greg fidgets with the hem of his shirt. “I’m Siobhan’s cousin? Greg?”
“Shiv, honey,” the man calls out, not breaking eye contact. “Your cousin Greg is here to see you.”
