Summary
"It was almost inconsequential in the general gist of things. Robert would not have given it a second thought if not for the weird tension that sprouted after, and the fact that his team made a bigger deal than it had to be. It was not like he was actually hurt, not really, the fingers were not even broken. Probably. It was fractured at most, in his personal opinion. "
Or
The team slowly figuring out Robert's insanely high pain tolerance and progressively getting more worried about it.

A baby. A precious pup to call his own. The perfect combination of Alan and himself.

Summary
Wilbur tilts his head, wrinkling his nose. “Do you smell that, Techno? That’s the rot from your garbage personality. You reek.”
Techno’s shocked face stares back at him for a moment, only for it to contort into disdain. That’s right, Wilbur thinks, hate me. Hate me, to the marrow of your bones. Hate me as much as I hate you, so much that you can see me for the filth that I am – the filth that we both are.
Wilbur continues talking, “This is my court, you hear me? Not Schlatt’s, not yours. Mine. If I tell you to jump, you say ‘how high’. If I tell you to run, you better fucking run.”

Summary
Instead of words, he felt a hand that didn't belong to him on each shoulder. What could this possibly mean? Why was this man straddled on his leg? Their faces were so close, maybe they were about to kiss? He caught a whiff of the other man's scent; it was reminiscent of old spice deodorant—most likely the krakengard scent—and a little musky. It was intoxicating to WaterBoy, and he wanted more. WaterBoy's face turned redder and redder at each thought. If his grandma were to ever find out about this…
Or: waterboy’s gay awakening

Summary
After his closeted fiancé calls off their engagement, Draco refuses to sit across from his parents, Theo, and Theo's newly arranged bride-to-be without some kind of retribution. He wants a temporary stand-in fiancé to keep his parents from their I-told-you-so. Someone to weather the traditional Twelve Days of Christmas with. What he gets is Harry Potter.
As a straight man, maybe Harry shouldn't jump on the opportunity to be another man's fake significant other, but he's pretty secure in his sexuality. Harry can sacrifice for the sake of justice. The more he gets to know this adult Draco, the more his curiosity gets the best of him. While everyone else seems to have their lives together, Draco is the first person who seems just as confused about how to manage as he is.
Together, they have to survive the family dinners from hell, every guest the Malfoys invite to their home for the holiday season, and the pitfalls of liking each other more than either is willing to admit.

Summary
When facing a strange villain that feeds off fear, that pulls the trauma from people’s throats like a horsehair worm from a wriggling mantis, Robert thinks it’s going to be routine, that Flambae will deal with him and get some free therapy as a bonus, that he’s safe behind his desk where the villain called Archivist won’t even think about him.
He’s wrong.

Summary
Verso didn't expect to meet his soulmate in a bakery. He also didn't expect said soulmate to be the only man in the capital unable to recognize the crown prince by name.
He isn't complaining, this is the first time in years he's been able to exist as himself and not as an extension of his family.
Surely, it won't hurt to keep up the pretense for a little while?
