....two firemen in a burning building...they might kiss... Beau Decker is everything Shepherd hates about the new wave. Entitled, headstrong, self-important, all ego and little forethought. He walks into a room and expects everyone to be wowed by him. Did he intubate without a scope last week and save that man's life? Absolutely, he did. But that shit did not impress Shepherd, not the way it seemed to impress everyone else. Showing up and doing your job doesn't make you special. Which he can't even fully do. And that's the real problem, that Beau Decker appears to be wholly incapable of following the chain of command, that every time they show up on a call together, Beau Decker is insubordinate. Maybe if he showed his Captain a little respect, Shepherd wouldn't dislike him quite so much. But as it stands, he really can't stomach the guy, which poses a certain issue when he gets reassigned to his station.…

Javi left with the intention of never coming back. It's why he tossed a match on his way out, and made sure everything that was good burned so there'd be nothing to return to. He didn't look back, knew that if he did, there'd be Tate watching him go.…

Alexei can't see dead people. But he can see Sinclair. Who is most definitely dead. But Alexei, on god, cannot see dead people. He'll die on that hill. Sinclair would say it's not the best hill to die on, all things considered. All things considered being what exactly? Alexei would snap right before Sinclair would sink his fingers in the hairs at the nape of neck and kiss him. All things considered being that Alexei can kiss dead people now. And likes it, likes kissing dead people. (Person, Sinclair would like to point out. Alexei likes kissing a dead person. One. Singular. Him, only, thanks.) Alexei didn't know dead people could be possessive. ( © saeglopur )…

Sam and Sage are next-door neighbors with an almost-four-year strong rivalry that peaks when they both apply to be Professor Olekev's Research Assistant. Unlike other professors, Olekev only chooses one student to study under her for their last two semesters, and every student that does transitions from college to the workforce seamlessly. You're almost guaranteed your dream job with a recommendation letter from Olekev. Which is why Sam needs that letter. And he'll do anything to get it. Even share the position with his stupidly pretty arch nemesis. ( © saeglopur )…

Veda has been vying for Clara's attention for as long as she can remember. She's never quite understood why she wants her attention, just that she does - undoubtedly and unceasingly. But now she's finally on Clara's radar and she's pretty sure the Student Body VP is going to kill her. She can't help but think what a kind of lovely way to die - Clara always keeps her nails well-manicured.…

Graison Starling is a captive on the Blue. Which means he's a captive to Captain Baz. And while it sounds like His Worst Nightmare and he has, in fact, had this nightmare before, he doesn't ever remember his captor looking that good swinging a sword at him - wait, what? No. Graison does not find Captain Baz attractive. Because that would be absurd, right? He's holding him hostage. He's threatened his life. So he's good with a sword. Anybody would notice that, captive or not. Graison just appreciates good swordsmanship, okay? And if you see him stealing looks at the Captain when he's not aware, well, it's just him plotting an escape plan. So maybe Graison has a small thing for Baz. Whatever. It's not like it matters. He's going to die, anyway.…

Dresden and Calvin are lucky enough to have had not one, but two, beginnings. They're beginning again, or maybe they're picking up where they left off five years ago. Either way, this is their "Take II" and absolutely nothing will get in the way of that. Except maybe a global pandemic.…

Dresden Gibson never left.But that's not the story he's telling. [sequel to The Art of Moving On]It's five years later, and though time has a way of making all pain feel less prominent, the pain that sits right under Dres's ribcage, the one tied to the buried words, and regret like a cold sweat on his palms, hasn't changed at all. Hasn't subsided or dulled throughout the years. Dresden regrets a lot of things. He'll never regret anything more than the way he ended his relationship with Cas those years ago. That's a pain, he thinks, he'll carry with him always. So he keeps the letters, and the memories; he lets them plague him on the long nights because it's what he deserves. When the opportunity arises to make things right, Dres takes it. He owes Cas that much. Even if the boy who's heart he broke years ago doesn't want a single thing to do with him. (And he doesn't)…

Calvin Sumner is just trying to find a job, pass his classes, get into college, and maybe kiss a few boys if he can manage it. He never thought he'd find himself working in a cupcake cafe, or falling in love with his brooding, ex-military boss who has more tattoos than he has words to give. But Cas isn't going to complain. Not when he's finally making some money, doing well in his courses, has a pretty good sports scholarship in his future, and gets to kiss Dresden Gibson as much as he wants (and he wants to, a lot).
