    Summary

    Shock. Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Reconstruction. Acceptance.

    Desire, it turned out, had stages of its own.

    What began with a stolen book in a quiet bookstore slowly unraveled into something neither of you had planned: a game of restraint, temptation, and impossible honesty, where every boundary crossed demanded another question, and every answer carried you further into his world.

    Some transformations don't begin with love. They begin with curiosity.

    Some lessons are found in poetry. Others demand complete trust.

    Summary

    Elphaba handed Galinda Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. A personal favorite of hers. It was a tale of many things, but at the heart of it was loneliness and longing. Elphaba wasn’t exactly sure why, but she felt as if this woman might need a story like that right now.

    “Um… right. Thanks” Galinda said, as softly as she’s spoken today, and it was almost adorable.

    Elphaba had to leave, she was so tired and delirious that she was thinking ridiculous thoughts.

    Or; Elphaba works at a bookstore, Galinda becomes a repeat customer, gay shit ensues.

    Summary

    Soho art gallery owner Anthony Crowley accepts his friends’ challenge to date someone opposite in nature, hoping to win a bet.

    Right…

    Summary

    And so begins the traditional closing rite, the Courting of the Rose!

    At this stage of the tournament, the victorious knight is presented with a rose. In turn, he selects one lady from the gathered audience to receive it, formally bestowing his favor before the entire arena!

    All eyes now turn to Sir Xavier, as he prepares to choose the lady who will receive his rose and the honor of his court.

    "My lady. Would you do me the honor of accepting this rose?"

    ✧˚₊‧ ✧

    "I can’t have an adventure!" you insisted as you were very gently but very firmly moved along by the knight now pulling your hand. "I’m on medication!"

    Summary

    Shane Hollander comes to the library because it is quiet, because nobody asks him for anything there, and because there he can be a man choosing a book instead of the story everyone thinks they already know.

    Ilya Rozanov has always been better at noticing things than asking questions.

    The books Shane touches.
    The ones he brings back.
    The hour he comes in.
    The way he says thank you like he is apologizing for needing anything at all.

    At first, they only talk about books.
    It is easier that way.

    Until it isn’t.

    Or: a slow burn librarian AU.

    Summary

    Max really regretted not taking his lunch break earlier. Or sending Lando at twelve, so it would have been his turn now. Then he wouldn’t have had to deal with seeing his childhood rival again, whom he loathed and hated like the pest, but also found really pretty and funny back in the day, or with the emotions that set free in him.

    Or with the fact that Charles didn’t even seem to know who he was anymore…

    Summary

    Sophie Baek doesn’t believe in things that last.

    Not in fairy tales, not in fate, and definitely not in love at first sight.

    She tried that once.

    It didn’t end well.

    Months later, she’s back to routine. Safe. Careful. Forgettable.

    Then she meets Benedict Bridgerton or rather she meets him again.

    He knows he’s forgotten something important. She knows exactly what it is.

    And neither of them are quite prepared for what happens when the past refuses to stay buried.

    Because some things don’t end.

    They just wait.

    Especially when they’ve been seen In the Wrong Light.

    Summary

    Looking up to the sound of what he guessed had to be Nines then coming out of the hallway he sat up a bit straighter, vividly aware of what he looked like.

    “Hi.” Nines stood with a hand lightly grabbing onto the wall as he looked Gavin up and down taking in his probably wrecked appearance, hair standing weirdly and clothes wrinkled as he sat on the floor still.

    “Uh,” Gavin cleared his throat when it didn’t work for a moment, trying not to feel too embarrassed, “Hey, when’d you get up?”

    “Not long before you don’t worry, Princess was chewing on my hair, she looked hungry.” Nines was still in his clothes from the day before, somehow less messed up than Gavin was, hair smoothed back a bit but still skewed.

    “Oh my god, that fuckin’ cat.” Gavin groaned and turned his head to the side a bit to fall into the couch cushions, only Princess would make him seem like he didn’t feed her, “You didn’t have to, she gets whiny in the morning, sorry ‘bout that.”

    OR:

    A little human au for Gavin and Nines, mostly domestic and fluff centered getting-together fic.
