    Summary

    “Tada!” Mom swings the skirt of the dress high, as if a change in velocity will change her child’s mind about pink and frills. She wants a little girl who loves dresses and makeup, and Victor is none of those things.

     

    Unable to play soccer at Cornwall, trans boy Victor jumps on the idea of attending rival school Illyria by posing as his twin for three weeks.
    It’s foolproof for dealing with the trials of high school soccer, but doesn’t prepare him for the crush on his roommate, his lab partner’s interest in him or the friends he makes along the way that – just maybe – he doesn’t want to let go of.

     

    Trigger warnings: reference to dysphoria, reference to transphobia, transphobia (in scenes involving Monique and Justin), reference to parental death via cancer

    Summary

    He was ten, or he was five, or thirty, or perhaps he was eighteen. It was hard to tell. Time never liked to flow right. Some days he woke up in the summer and was sure it had been snowing only hours previously.

     

     

    Jaskier know's he's not exactly the same as other people. His memory doesn't work right and there are nights he wakes up screaming but he can't remember why. It's fine. Life moves on. He won't let himself get caught in his past or in his head, instead he just keeps his eyes on the future, however far away it might seem.

    And then he meets Geralt, and everything changes.

    -

    This story is not intended to glamorise child abuse, and is in fact an exploration on how repeated trauma can affect adult life. Written from the perspective of someone with a dissociative disorder. There is no rape/non-con between Geralt and Jaskier, this story is meant to show them healing together.

    Summary

    At the corner of the inn, shrouded in darkness, was a cloaked man. His hair, peeking from his hood, was white but dirty, he was drinking from a mug and pointedly kept his eyes on it, refusing to raise his face.

    Jaskier gave a longing look to a free table right beside a window, where the light from the sun hit just right and promised a warm seat, and headed towards the dark cold spot where the other sat.

    “Love the way you just… sit in the corner and brood.”

     The other’s eyes shifted towards the side as he scowled.

     “I’m here to drink alone.”

     Oh, well, always lovely company, my kind.

     “Oh, come on, it’s rare to cross paths lately, with all of us dying out and whatnot.”

    Summary

    Stiles didn't know that there were people who were so lonely that they were willing to pay someone to be their friend.

    But then again, his social circle consisted of Scott and his dad. So he couldn't really judge.

    Plus the guy was in a wheelchair, you can't judge a guy in a wheelchair.

    Summary

    The Hales moved in next door more than a year ago and while Cora and Stiles became fast friends, Stiles has yet to meet his best friend's big brother, Derek, who’s been attending college in New York. When Derek comes home for the summer he makes less than a stellar impression. And vice versa.

    Summary

    Stiles has always worked with Scott for end-of-year projects. Only this year, Scott wants to work with his new girlfriend Allison, leaving Stiles without a partner. The only person not already partnered up is Derek Hale, first chair violin who has played for his sister Laura and only his sister Laura since joining the academy.

    If he was just an asshole, Stiles could handle that. But Stiles has a vision for this project, one he's spent his whole life cultivating, and Derek? Derek just doesn't get it, and that Stiles cannot handle.

    Summary

    Heart pounding with anticipation and excitement, Derek tosses aside the towel he was using to dry his hair and drops his knees to the bed, running his hands up Stiles’ calves. They’re thin but muscular, pale, dusted with dark hair. Derek knows the exact curve and feel of them quite well by know – after all, he’s drawn Stiles countless times, painted him over and over, snapped hundreds of photographs. Derek has memorized every detail of Stiles’ gorgeous body, but he still can never get enough of exploring him; each touch, each kiss, feels as wondrous and new as it does familiar.

    Summary

    Stiles nodded and smiled again, his teeth flashing brightly and he signed something again, before looking frustrated with himself.

    “You’re welcome,” Derek told him, feeling a wave of relief when Stiles’ face brightened. That would’ve been awkward if Stiles hadn’t been trying to say thank you.

    “I had a really good time, so yeah. I’m glad you came with me,” he said, feeling his face grow hot. Derek wasn’t usually like this. He wasn’t confident. Sure, he had the looks and he could flirt shamelessly when he got hit on, but he always got shy around the people he genuinely liked, not that there was too many of those.

    But Stiles didn’t let him dwell on that. He gripped Derek's arm, grinned cheekily and pointed at himself before lifting two fingers. It took a while for Derek to get it but when he did, he couldn’t stop a smile from spreading across his face.

    Me too.

    Summary

    Derek became deaf from the fire that took his family long ago, and has refused to speak since. But when he is forced to speak in the court case of the woman who betrayed him long ago, he begrudgingly accepts the help of a newly graduated speech pathologist. Stiles, however, is about to teach a whole lot more.

    Summary

    Steve played by TheBananasaurus.tumblr.com AND TheStar-SpangledAvenger.tumblr.com (I reply in-character to everything sent to me - have fun!)

    Bucky played by Rainb0wDawg.tumblr.com 

    Steve’s mother died shortly after childbirth and he was sent to grow up alongside Bucky in an Irish-Catholic orphanage. They quickly bonded from a young age, and became closer than brothers. They slept next to each other, bathed with each other, helped each other with bullies and homework, and, during a curious, innocent moment, shared their first kiss. A kiss neither of them spoke about ever again.

    Now, decades later, the Winter Soldier attacking Steve on a highway in modern day New York City was discovered to be Bucky himself. Steve quickly incapacitated him and brought him to his apartment, where he hopes to somehow evoke their shared lives through any means possible. Unfortunately, Bucky's arm wasn't the only thing HYDRA 'improved' upon when they created the perfect killing machine.
