    Summary

    The grounds around the gates of Watford are burnt. The dining hall stinks of magick. It's three months since the tumultuous end of seventh year—one lonely summer, and six more weeks in a lonelier room—and Baz is finally back. And Simon needs to know why.

    Summary

    “I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”

    “Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.

    “I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”

    ”Father,” she corrects.

    ”Your father,” he agrees.

    *****

    An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

    Summary

    “We were wrong about the pollen from Cetus II not affecting him,” Bones says in an undertone. “He didn’t get his senses tangled up like the others, though. It targeted his psionic abilities.”

     

    or, Spock's telepathy gets screwed up on an away mission. Laying hands on his crewmates to train his senses back to normal is the only cure. Jim is happy to help—even if there are some feelings he'd rather keep to himself.

    Summary

    It still isn’t easy, talking about things, trusting people, but he knows it’s what’s keeping him anchored. Keeping him human, or as close to it as he can be, at least. If he doesn’t talk about what he’s experiencing—how he feels, however horrifying and shameful—he could lose himself without even realizing it.

    If he doesn’t trust Martin—

    Summary

    He lets out a huff, shaking his head. “I-I know it’s completely irrational, I just.........I mean, for god’s sake Jon, I’m twenty-nine and I’ve never kissed anyone.
    Jon sucks in a breath as something clicks into place. Some sort of understanding he’d been fumbling for as the room ricochets and suddenly Jon is the one sitting on the tub with puffy eyes and Martin’s standing in the doorway, too far and too close, too much yet too little.
    And then Jon’s opening his mouth, letting the words fall out before he can even process what he’s saying.
    “Do you want to practice?”

    Maybe staying with Martin was a mistake. Maybe invading his privacy like this is just another step further into Jon's own complicated feelings he can't seem to put a name to anymore.
    Unrelated, but Martin has a date.

    Summary

    I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.

     

    As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?

     

    Kind regards,
    New Manager

    Summary

    Martin had been baffled by how easily he spilled his guts out to this odd stranger. Now, Martin is more baffled by the baggy My Chemical Romance t-shirt he's wearing, paired with tasteful plaid pajama bottoms.

    Or, Martin gets a visitor in his dreams. Reliving the same 14 days of loneliness every night isn't as bad when you have company.

    Summary

    Sasha fixed Tim and Martin with a glare that was deathly serious. “But why should that stop us? It is— or was, I suppose, given... everything— our literal job to investigate supernatural events. If the police won’t figure out what happened to the Institute, we’ll do it. Doesn’t everyone deserve that? Doesn’t Jon deserve that?

    In the face of an unyielding apocalypse, the being that was once Jonathan Sims has a final, desperate idea. The archival assistants pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Jonathan Sims, researcher at the Magnus Institute, is seeing a ghost. Of himself.
    Of course, it’s not really him, no matter what secrets it knows, or how many arguments it brings up. So if it tells him to do something?

    Obviously, he’ll be doing the exact opposite.

    Summary

    It's almost time to be heading back to school for their final year at Watford. Dev & Niall drag Baz off for a night out at a new pizza place as a treat, because it has, according to the internet, a Very Hot Mascot.

    Meanwhile, Simon has managed to find himself a job to while away the tedious hours of summer. It's not ideal, but fortunately no-one from school will ever see him dressed as a ridiculous slice of pizza. Right?

    Pizza, pining, and plotting ensue; all combined with a healthy side serving of friends helping you realise what's actually important.

    Summary

    Draco would like to say that when Potter barged into his office at nine-thirty in the morning, locked the door, and demanded, “Are you in love with me?”, he sneered back and said something quite clever and cutting along the lines of please, Potter, I know we’re not trying to kill each other anymore but I have the good sense and, more importantly, standards not to throw myself at you or maybe at least I see your ego hasn’t gotten any more tolerable since school.

    What he said in reality, though, was, “What? I—what?” He tried again. “Have you gone completely mental?”

    A botched love potion makes it so that everyone in Harry's vicinity is madly in love with him—everyone except Draco, that is.
