Summary
“Want me to turn it up so we can both listen? I don’t feel like putting the record on right now.”
“Yes, please.”
There’s some shuffling, the snap of Bill punching down the play button, and then the soft, tinny sound of “Seaside Rendezvous” playing from his headphones.
They lapse into another silence, as “Seaside Rendezvous” eventually bleeds into “The Prophet’s Song” and then, of course, “Love Of My Life.” As the tape plays, and Bill continues to gently pet Ted’s hair, Ted realizes that he’s about to fall asleep like this: sprawled across Bill’s bed, still clad in his Pretzels ’N Cheese uniform, Freddie Mercury crooning through the Walkman and into his ear, clock barely pushing 6:30. He thinks about shaking off the sleepiness and throwing himself into the shower, like he should’ve done in the first place, but the soothing motion of Bill’s fingers combing through his hair and the warmth of his bed is a stronger call than the call of getting their night properly started.
Or, Ted starts to notice how often he finds an excuse to get in Bill's bed, and then never really gets around to getting back out of it

Summary
One minute your life is falling to pieces and then suddenly you've dropped out of college and run away to sit in the passenger seat of an old 2002 Dodge Ram Van 1500 cargo van on a road trip with a guy you barely know, crossing the states from San Diego all the way to New York.
And unbeknownst to Johnny Joestar, it would turn out to be the exact kind of therapy he didn't know he needed.

Hinata and Kamukura both feel it, the swell of affection. Komaeda seems to be the only individual on the island able to always tell the two apart, even while they wear the same face. The others speculate, but are never as assure in their switch as the one before them now.
Hajime can feel Izuru almost purr under the acknowledgment. He internally rolls his eyes.
Why does he call you by first name and not me, anyways?
Are you jealous?
Smug bastard.

Summary
The first thing Dennis hears every morning is the sound of the grease trap hissing in the shop below, then feels his four-year-old son wriggling deeper into his ribs, like he wants to crawl back into Dennis’ shriveled old sack of a uterus.
He’s not sure which one wakes him first.
(Or, Whitaker is a struggling single dad, an MS4 who is about to graduate and crushing on two old men).

Summary
"Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." (Matthew 12:34)
"The gates to the compound stand open: heavy and wooden, in need of sanding and varnishing. Daryl stops his bike on the dirt track and squints through the evening haze at the sign just inside the sprawling property. Brethren of the Blessed Spring, in faded, peeling black letters. There used to be words beneath those, a Bible verse, maybe. But all that remains on the weathered board are specks of paint, faint grey smudges. On the gates, he notices, is the name of the compound, two letters on each gate so the name is displayed when they are closed: Elim. Daryl tries the word in his mind. It moves like something shutting, the syllables forbidding entrance."
Unable to get another job in the small town where he lives, Daryl goes to do maintenance work for the Brethren of the Blessed Spring in Colorado. Hoping for peace, for a routine without disturbance, he instead finds himself caught up in the lives of the community--particularly that of the head elder's wife.

Summary
"How are people gonna sign your cast?" the girl asks. "If it's all black?"
"Um. Dunno. S’okay,” Daryl says awkwardly when it becomes clear she’s waiting for some kind of response. “Ain’t like - don’t really think nobody’ll wanna sign it anyway. So."
Instead of getting the kid to let up, this statement seems to somehow capture her interest. She uncurls in the chair a little, looking at him with a wide-open face. “Why not?"
But he’s saved from having to answer that by Carol the desk lady, who breaks into a little half-run when she sees Daryl waiting. “Sorry, sorry - just had to step away for a moment, sorry about that, Daryl.”
“S’fine,” Daryl mumbles. She doesn’t have to apologize to him for taking a piss or whatever, good Lord.

Summary
“I have a proposition for you,” James said, willing himself to go for it. To make the move. To own up to his own loneliness and do something to try and relieve some of it. “I figure you’ll say no but I really hope you’ll say yes.”
Jason looked up at him. “What is it?”
James took another drag, hand shaking a bit. “Will you sleep with me tonight?” He waited for a response but Jason kept silent and tilted his head, blinking up at James, so he added, “Not–not like, sex. Just sleep with me. Stay in my cab. I like you, Jason, and–” He made himself look away back to the black sky. “And I’m really lonely, man.” He still couldn’t look as he brought the cigarette to his lips again, embarrassment making his face flare up. Jason must have thought he was a pathetic creep.

Summary
“So... you’re a transfer student?” Jayce ventures, trying to fill the silence.
Viktor shakes his head. “Exchange student. From The Czech Republic. I was in a dorm, but the elevator is broken more than it works. Housing made arrangements.” He sets his suitcase down and adjusts his cane, his movements precise but clearly strained.
“Right,” Jayce says, feeling a flicker of guilt for his earlier irritation. “Well, uh, welcome, I guess. Your room’s down the hall on the left.”
Viktor doesn’t respond, already moving toward the hallway without waiting for further instructions. Jayce watches him disappear into the room, the door clicking shut behind him.
He flops back onto the couch, grabbing his phone to text Caitlyn again:
Jayce: He hates me already.
Caitlyn: Don’t so be dramatic. Give it time. Maybe bake him cookies or something.
Jayce: He doesn’t seem like a cookie guy. More like... brooding and vaguely annoyed at my existence.
Caitlyn: Perfect. You’re great at brooding and vaguely annoying. 😘

Summary
“I do not recall telling you my name.” Viktor stated matter-of-factly. “Yet you know it. Have we met?” Yes. Many times. Practically lived together inside their lab, but he couldn’t tell Viktor that. No, this Viktor had no idea who Jayce really was, and he intended on keeping it that way.
Jayce stumbled on his own thoughts trying to find an answer. Shit. Viktor is right, he wasn’t supposed to tell Jayce his name until later in his apartment. Damn it. “Uh—“ he stalled as he tried to think of a lie. “H-Heimerdinger had mentioned you once. You’re his assistant, right? Snarky Undercity kid with an accent? Not many other people here who fit that description.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the Hexcore collapsed, Jayce gets sent back to where it all started, the day he met Viktor, but Viktor seems to have no recollection of him. What happens when Jayce gets another chance, knowing what he knows now.
My take on Season 2 Jayce with Season 1 Viktor until Viktor eventually remembers everything and they live happily ever after because I refuse to give these two any more sad endings!
No idea how many chapters this will have, we're just gonna roll with it until the dopamine stops.

Summary
The first chance he gets, Ekko slips away to Vander’s to find Claggor.
“Hey, little man,” says Claggor, grinning. The smile drops when he sees the look on Ekko’s face. “Whoa. What’s wrong?”
“The guy,” Ekko hisses. “The one you guys robbed. He’s here, he’s staying at Benzo’s!”
Claggor goes pale. “We have to tell Vi,” he says.
They tell Vi. And Vi tells Vander. And Vander goes and talks to Benzo.
—
or: Viktor is too late after the trial, but Jayce doesn't jump. He flees to the undercity instead.

Viktor had been seconds away from his death. He had seen it coming from a mile away, it really wasn’t a surprise.
He resigned himself to his depressing fate, letting his eyelids fall shut as he braced himself for the killing blow.
However, moments before he was finally released from his miserable life, a man stepped forwards to intervene and, from that moment on, had intertwined his and Viktor’s fates together in a way neither of them could begin to imagine.
Or:

Summary
The guy shook out his blonde hair and turned his face to the side. Jason could see a faint smattering of rougher, red skin and scars. “Like, my name’s James. It’s a normal name.”
Jason smiled a little. It was the first time he’d heard a name like his. “Normal?”
“Human.” James looked at Jason again, pupils big and glossy, shining with the sun’s rays. “But you’re not?”
“No.” Jason sighed and looked at the tree again. It was a half-truth. He wasn’t about to talk about his lineage with a total stranger. Diving straight into the family tree might be even more of a mental explosion for this guy, or for Jason himself. “And I really don’t know how you got here–James. I don’t know how to help you get back home.”
