    Summary

    After everything, Aziraphale and Crowley, by unspoken agreement, begin sharing their lives.
    ---
    Why? Aziraphale wanted to ask him, why millennia of the way things were, and now this?

    But while Crowley seemed to have little issue upending every unspoken rule they’d ever written for themselves, Aziraphale was not so flexible, and they had spent thousands of years never quite addressing whatever it was this had stemmed from. Words, Aziraphale had always felt, were for bickering about where to eat for lunch, or hashing out ontological debates, or other trivial nonsense; there was no need to trifle with the imprecision of language, with phrasing and the possibility of being misconstrued, when it came to important matters if the other person simply understood, without needing it said. Six thousand years ago, when Aziraphale had met Crowley on the wall of Eden, watching the first two humans set out to begin the rest of history, something deep within him, more central even than his Grace, had thought, oh, it’s you, and that had been enough for him--for both of them, he assumed--for three millennia.

    However much he wanted to ask, he didn’t know how. The words simply weren’t there.

    Summary

    There was a certain look that Aziraphale wore occasionally—a pinched sort of moue that looked like he’d just taken a very large mouthful of cinnamon—which meant he thought Crowley was being ridiculous. He had put it on.

     

    “Hang on,” he had said. “You want us to do human things?”

    Summary

    “Hey, Shiro I’m taking the bike out!” He called, dumping his bag in his room and tearing off his uniform.

    “Do your homework first!” Shiro yelled from the kitchen and Keith silently cursed. He slipped on his black t-shirt, tossing the Garrison’s orange disaster of clothing on the ground.

    “I don’t have any.” He lied, almost falling over in an effort to get his jeans on faster. After wrestling for a couple minutes to get them on he laid on the ground, staring at the ceiling. The door opened and Shiro looked down at him blankly.

    “You don’t have any.” He repeated, voice completely deadpanned. Keith frowned. He liked to think he was a pretty good liar, but Shiro didn’t look even the slightest bit convinced. Did people in the Garrison have homework everyday or something? “Keith, I’m your fucking teacher. I assigned the homework.”

    Oh. Right.

    Or

    Keith is experiencing the great tragedy of having your teacher also be your guardian. Also, the kid that sits next to him is so annoying.

    Summary

    “Wait – you’re gay?”

    “Adam… Adam we’re dating.” Shiro frowned, glancing up from his paperwork. He wasn’t entirely sure if this was a joke or if his boyfriend was actually unaware of their relationship for the past three months. Adam sat on the couch, looking completely blown away by the turn of events.

    “We’re dating?” He repeated and groaned “We're dating! Takashi you couldn’t have told me that sooner? I’ve had a hot boyfriend and didn’t know?” He threw up his hands “Do my parents know?!” He asked. Shiro frowned. He thought they did – but then again he thought Adam had known too.

    “I… Have no idea? Did you think straight guys normally make-out with other guys?”

    “Don’t blame me for your lack of communication skills!”

    Or

    Shiro is trying to implement the homosexual agenda, but (like all great conquests) there are challenges. Ft. Keith being exasperated.

    Summary

    From a Hobbitkink prompt:

    The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

    The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

    (Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

     

    (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.
