Summary
Beta male Theo Norcott had fought tooth and nail to prove himself in the ruthless world of corporate finance, only to be overshadowed by Nicholas Hale, the company’s most infuriatingly confident Alpha executive who just bagged the promotion Theo had dreamed about. Their rivalry is legendary, Theo convinced the Alpha teased him simply due to genetics.
When a major client pitch forces them to work together, old wounds reopen, the balance between them shifts. Suddenly, every late meeting, every elevator ride, every stolen moment crackles with tension. Nicholas isn’t just watching him — he’s hunting him, testing the edges of Theo’s resistance with a patience that feels as dangerous as it is magnetic.
Theo tells himself he can hold his ground. That his sharp words and stubborn defiance will keep Nicholas at arm’s length. Yet the more they clash, the clearer it becomes: Nicholas doesn’t want obedience. He wants him. Every part of him.
Yet Alphas are never interested in Betas, right? It’s always the Omegas. But it seems that Nicholas never got that particular memo. And the most dangerous part?
Theo isn’t sure how much longer he wants to fight.

The problem with getting together two weeks before finals is that you barely have the chance to enjoy your new relationship before the semester is over.
Set the summer between Quentin's first and second year at Brakebills, this is a story about discovering how to make space in your life for someone else. Told over the course of three months, our boys navigate distance, Ted's Illness, Eliot's thesis, and their own demons as they learn what it means to truly be together and apart.

Summary
“The alpha set the mug down in front of Max, and took his own bowl when Isaac offered it. Max stared at the steaming mug a moment too long—it was blue with white speckles, a chip in the handle—before he forced his eyes back down to his folded hands. As tests went, this one was obvious.“
A continuation of “Seeking Shelter” by sphagnum, opening from Max’s first morning with the pack, because be the sequel you want to see in the world.

Summary
“I wrote Q a letter, then me and Alice dropped it down a well at the top of the Mountain of Ghosts, yada yada yada,” Eliot says. “But I didn’t think it would *actually* reach him.”
Julia’s eyes go wide. “What did it say?”
He opens his mouth to tell her, but Quentin beats him to the punch.
“To Quentin Coldwater, before he went to the Seam: Come back, asshole.”
“Um. Yeah. That.”
—————————
In which Quentin returns to the land of the living for the very simple reason that Eliot asked him to.

Summary
A (sort-of) ex's revenge plot against Eliot has far-reaching unintended consequences.
Or: I wanted to write a one-shot PWP where Quentin and Eliot hook up at a party at the Cottage, but instead I ended up plotting out a full-on season 1 reboot where Quentin doesn't act like a bitter incel, and Julia finds a much less horrifying solution for defeating the Beast.

Summary
In every possible timeline, Quentin and Eliot find their way to each other. Including this one. No Beast, no quests, yet including the greatest challenge of all—a timeline where Quentin’s exam guide and first friend was, uh… Todd. Rom-com fun, for the soul.

Summary
Eliot woke to the toe of Margo’s shoe biting hard into the flesh of his shoulder.
“Time to get your dick wet, Sleeping Beauty,” she drawled, hands on hips. Vision of her coming through like an aura drenched in the blue light being thrown from the television screen. “Mama brought you a present.”
Or: The horniest meet cute in history.

Summary
Quentin is, of course, still curled in a ball when Eliot glides down beside him. He moves slowly so as not to spook the poor thing, and it takes three gentle coughs from his throat before Quentin finally lifts his head from his hands, blinking at Eliot with a blank expression.
Eliot gives him a small, hopefully genial smile. “Mind if I join you?”
“Oh, Jesus Christ.” Quentin rolls his eyes back and slams his head into the wall.
—
Eliot Waugh has been captivated by Quentin Coldwater since the moment their eyes first met. Unfortunately, their eyes first met while Eliot was hooking up with Quentin’s boyfriend.
It’s not exactly Casablanca.

Summary
"I’ve been thinking about you,” Eliot continues, and Quentin’s heart nearly stops in his chest. Warning bells, sirens, flashing signs—this is not good. Not good.
“Well—don’t. Stop,” Quentin says. The top few buttons on Eliot's shirt are undone and how is he supposed to just be an adult and say no to this?
Eliot cracks a small smile, sliding just a little bit closer. "Don't stop?" he says.
“Eliot—just—please go back to the bar. You don’t really want this.”
Eliot frowns. “I’m a big boy, Professor,” he says, huffing out a breath. “I know what I want. The question is,” Eliot continues, Quentin holding his breath as Eliot leans into his space, “What do you want?”
Quentin’s mouth goes dry as his brain spins with acceptable responses. For you to go back to Brakebills and sober up—A nice cold glass of water—A redo of the last five years—An actual responsible adult—but what comes out is, “What I want doesn’t matter.”
Eliot’s face grows softer, the frown disappearing and his eyes searching Quentin’s face. “It does to me,” he says quietly. Cold fingers encircle Quentin's palm, and he closes his eyes as Eliot slots their fingers together and squeezes.

Summary
There's no beasts, no gods, no monsters. Just magical grad-school and all the messy human things that come with it. So when Eliot, barely holding it together after heartbreak, kisses Quentin in a drunken stupor, it feels like the end of the world.
But is it?

Summary
"'Accio condoms,' Eliot muttered lazily, flicking his fingers in a twist that made the air around them snow purple sparks. Two wrapped squares whizzed out from under the bed.
'Is that a real spell?' Quentin asked, stunned.
Margo rolled her eyes. 'Just the gesture. That little nerd joke was definitely for your benefit.'"
Quentin thought he and Margo were putting Eliot to bed, but Margo and Eliot have better ideas. Semi-requited Margo/Eliot (Eliot is gay, y'all), in that she uses Quentin to get what she needs. Whether Eliot gets what he needs remains to be seen. Quentin gets everything. Mostly a fill-in for episode 1x11, Remedial Battle Magic. Canon-compliant shameless smut.

Summary
Best friends Dylan and Travis had it all figured out. They would both become Sentinels like their fathers, ace their way through the Centre’s rigorous training and they would both take on the world. Only, this doesn’t happen for Dylan. Instead of coming online as a powerful Sentinel, he suffers the humiliation of being a Guide. It devastates him and his family.
But not so for Travis. Travis is pleased at the new turn of the events, elated even, at the prospect that Dylan would be his Guide, his partner, his.
The sudden dizzying change in Dylan's circumstances and the possessiveness of his best friend scares Dylan enough to give everything up and just run. Run far away so he could pretend he was just like everyone else.
But Travis isn’t willing to let his Guide get away from him so easily.

Summary
Efnisien ap Wledig is an omega born into an all-alpha family. Abandoned by his birth mother and raised by his aunt, he is subjected to a lifetime of medical experimentation and brainwashing and believes himself to be an alpha. But the experiments begin to fail, and he is abandoned yet again to an Omega Rehabilitation Facility, where the family expects he will be retrained into the 'perfect omega' and placed in an arranged marriage, or be eliminated if this is no longer possible.
The Facility don't know about the experiments, and Efnisien doesn't even know why he's there in the first place, since he's an alpha...isn't he? One thing's for certain, he definitely doesn't need an alpha companion, no matter what the staff at the facility seem to think.

Summary
Beside Natasha, Steve’s phone buzzed facedown on the table. After the last text, he’d hastily flipped the screen over and stared straight ahead like he’d been caught talking in church.
Clint nudged him with his elbow. “Better check that,” he murmured. “Could be important.”
Everyone at the table pretended they weren’t looking as Steve hesitantly turned his phone over, blushed so hard his ears looked like they’d been boiled, and slapped it back down again.
