    Summary

    An ongoing series where two touch-starved men figure out how to take care of each other in ways that no military field guide ever covered. Thankfully, when you already trust a person with your life, letting them see you at your most vulnerable isn't nearly as hard as it sounds.

    Non-sexual intimacy, physical touch, a little angst, and a lot of comfort.

    "[...]Because it hasn’t been hard or difficult or something unattainable, at no point has Ghost felt like he’s really had to put in hard work to have this. And he doesn’t have to fight to keep it either. He would, if it came down to it, he absolutely would fight for this. He’d give up every single other thing in his life just to keep this, and it wouldn’t take more than a split-second decision to get there.

    It’s just staggering to think about. It makes him believe that life might just be more than a series of shitty coincidences. Soap isn’t just some chance that came to be—Ghost meant what he said earlier, that Soap wasn’t an accident. He doesn’t think he can imagine a single universe or alternate plane of existence where Soap doesn’t end up as the sun that Ghost rotates around.

    Summary

    The twin brothers Shane and Ethan are identical — so alike they’re impossible to tell apart.

    For years, Ethan vanished without a trace. Then, just as suddenly, he reappears with an unusual request: he wants Shane to take his place for a while.

    Shane agrees, unaware that Ethan’s past is filled with secrets, enemies, and danger.
    Worse still, Ethan is married — to the powerful and irresistibly hot husband Ilya Rozanov.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Or: What if Shane has a twin brother — one who looks exactly like him but couldn’t be more different? And what if that twin brother just happens to be married to the unbelievably hot Ilya Rozanov?

    Summary

    “Gorwin is my King,” Merlin says, golden eyes fixed flatly on Arthur. “And I work for him. That’s what it says.”

    “That’s what what says?” Arthur all but roars, wishing he had a sword just so that he could swing it at something. He needs to let all of this anger at something, anything, he’s just not sure at what and he doesn’t really care anymore.

    “The treaty you signed."

    Or:

    Arthur lends Merlin's aid as a sorcerer to an allied kingdom. He doesn't expect to find Merlin, two years later, in shackles, and only a mere echo of the person he used to be.

    Summary

    Chim is reading aloud before Buck can lunge across the counter and stop him, “I’d beg so loud they’d all know exactly what you—” His eyebrows climb to his hairline, “Buck, what the fuck?”

    Ravi bursts out laughing, nearly doubling over, “Wait, you sexted the group chat?!”

    “No, no, no—” Buck’s voice traitorously cracks and he can feel the heat in his face, “That’s not—I didn’t—”

    Hen’s tone sharpens, amusement undercut with curiosity, “You’re seeing someone? Who is she?”

    Or,
    Three months of secret hookups with Eddie and Buck manages to blow it all with one wrong text.

    This is so cracky and they're so dumb and it's fucking perfect
    honestly has the same amount of crack as canon. Over the top and unhinged but funny as hell, with some devestating sucker punches and a healing heap of fluff
