Summary
It's 1895 in Colorado, USA and cowboy John ends up at the Holmes Ranch after a months long cattle drive.
There he finds a little bit more than he bargained for in the ranch owners' young son Sherlock.
John falls quickly for the beautiful, smart, and capable young man but - with an age difference between them of almost 20 years - is it something that he can truly allow himself to have?Take note: There is quite a big age gap in this story with John being 38 and Sherlock 19.
While this can be perfectly fine in fiction it isn't always the case in real life. If this is something that triggers you: read with care.Bookmarked by OccamsRazor

Summary
S2 AU. Buffy needs Spike's help, Spike needs Buffy's help. My take on the much used trope of Buffy having to get it on with a vampire to save her life. Fluffy, smutty, and it ends up in a happy place. Set sometime before 'I Only Have Eyes For You'.

Summary
"This wasn't like the easy camaraderie he shared with Dustin or Lucas.
It was something more. Something deeper. Something that hurt."---
Will Byers made a catastrophic mistake: he agreed to room with Mike Wheeler.
The boy he's been in love with since middle school. The boy he watched kiss someone else. The boy he moved across the country to forget.
He survived the Upside Down. He survived watching Mike love El. He survived California.
How hard could sharing a tiny dorm room be?
Turns out: impossible.
Their room at Indiana University is absurdly small—three feet between beds, no space to hide. And Mike won't stop touching him. His hand on Will's thigh during study sessions. Walking around in towels. Looking at him with questions Will can't answer.
Four weeks of tension. One fight. Seven days of silence.
Then the party.
Mike's hands on his hips. His body pressed close.
"I can't stop thinking about you."
Neither can Will.
Some feelings run too deep to ignore—even when the distance is only three feet.

Summary
It rolls, it rolls, it rolls, Will is clenching his hands into fists so tight his knuckles are white, bracing himself, preparing himself.
He’s so focused on steadying his breathing, on wrapping his heart in a guard of barbed wire before the blow lands, that he doesn’t quite see the number on the dice.
Mike lets out a shaky breath next to him. “It’s a seven.”
Will runs through the list in his head. Three times, before it clicks. He thinks he might throw up.
“C’mon, Wheeler. Don’t keep us waiting,” Max teases, and Will finally catches the satisfied gleam in her eyes.
A 20. He gets twenty minutes locked in a linen closet with Mike.
Two years ago, he would have been jumping for joy.
But Mike won’t even look at him.

Summary
Halloween 1997 is pure chaos thanks to Ethan Rayne. However, rather than the generic noblewoman dress, Buffy goes back to pick out something a little different. A little more... regal. The change in costume unleashes a whole lot of other changes for Buffy and Spike both.
Never thought I'd be writing a season 2 Spuffy romance, but here we are. Thanks to flootzavut for reading the beta!
Written for the Elysian Fields 2025 Transformation Challenge. Cross-posting here.

Summary
Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”
“Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”
“Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”
Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

Summary
After Bucky was released from the hospital, it only took him a couple of weeks to give up on himself. Difficult to believe in any kind of future when the simple act of staying alive was almost too big an effort.
Out the frosted window, across the street, there was a tiny homeless guy burrowing under an awning.

Summary
Bucky had always been a teacher of sorts in Steve’s life. He'd shown him how to sneak into movies, to charm the baker’s wife for hot bread rolls and later in life, to fight. (Much to Bucky’s dismay, Steve really took to that one). But one cool Autumn day, Bucky offered to show Steve something new. Something Steve had only ever allowed himself to want in the whispers of his mind.
It was shocking, exciting and could get them thrown in jail.
But was it just his best friend teaching Steve how to 'romance' a dame?
Or was it much more than that?
Or: the pre-war ‘show me how’ fic that no-one asked for (except me).

Summary
*A Fremione holiday rom-com*
Hermione had just sighed and picked her quill up again when the front door of the apothecary suddenly flew open, smacking the bell above it violently and letting in fat snowflakes, a gust of frigid wind, and a rather frazzled looking Fred Weasley.
“Merlin above, shut that!” she cried, desperately clutching at several sheets of parchment on the counter that were threatening to take flight.
The door closed almost immediately with a rather reserved snick considering the chaos it had admitted, at which point Hermione exhaled in relief and began restacking everything.
Once she had it back in some semblance of order, she pushed a few wayward curls out of her eyes and looked up at Fred. Annoyance turned to apprehension as she read the harried expression on his usually cheerful face; he looked about ready to be sick on his shoes.
She was just about to ask what was wrong when Fred opened his mouth and blurted out a series of words that made not one single iota of sense.
“I need you to marry me.”

Summary
“Accomplished.”
“Beautiful.”
“Charming.”
“Diligent.”
“Exciting.”They were huddled near the common room fire, their hands bathing in bowls of Murtlap Essence, easing the painful cuts from the pink abomination's evil black quill. Since they couldn't play Exploding Snap one handed, Hermione had suggested a muggle game. After several rounds, only Fred and the plucky witch remained.
“Fierce."
“Gifted."
“Heroic.”
“Intelligent.”
“Judicious.”Hermione tilted her head in a small nod of acknowledgement, and Fred couldn't help feeling proud. He hadn't expected a simple game to give him a chance to show the brightest witch of their age... and subject of his mostly secret crush... that he wasn't just a joker. But he wasn't complaining either. If he got to compliment her too, that was a bonus.
Author's note:
This is an edit/update of a story I originally wrote back in 2019, I think. I had a few messages on Tumblr about when I was going to bring this back, and I apologise to anyone who's been waiting for this work to be re-uploaded.

Summary
Julian needs to learn about Cardassian anatomy to help his patient, so he goes to Quark, who he knows has been with at least one Cardassian. Only Quark helps him get a clearer picture of a certain Cardassian, and it's very distracting. The sort of distraction that makes you ruin a perfectly good lunch and accidentally insult one of your best friends.
"What am I supposed to say? Well, Garak, I’ve found out how Cardassian reproductive systems work, and now I can’t look you in the eye,” Bashir mused to himself as he lay prone on his bed.
A noise came from the PADD beside his head. He turned and saw an image of Garak before the other man was able to turn off his own device.

Summary
"And then, throwing caution to the wind, he slowly lowered himself back completely, resting his body on the bed, before arching his back and biting his finger, as if to stop himself from making a noise.
He held the pose for a moment, expecting some direction, or the click of the camera, but he heard nothing. So he looked up, his eyes meeting the hazel ones he’d admired earlier.
And there James was, his mouth a bit agape, staring at him both through the lens of the camera and over it, looking like he’d been hit over the head with a bowling ball."

James is a photographer in need of a model.
It just so happens that Regulus is a model.
And there are LOTs of ways that one can take a picture.(Now a Podfic!)

Summary
“…Do you think I’m hard to love?”
Arthur doesn’t breathe.
Because he knows. He knows that Merlin means it, knows this isn’t a question for reassurance. It’s a confession of fear. And it breaks something in him to know why Merlin is asking.
Arthur turns his whole body to face him. Looks him in the eye.
“No,” he says, with the certainty of the sun rising — not questioned, not earned, just as a fact.
Merlin swallows.
Arthur continues, softer now, “I think you’re hard to read. But never hard to love.”Bookmarked by OccamsRazor

Summary
Someone was approaching him, intentionally loud, and when he was about to open his mouth to tell them off, he smelled it. Fresh dirt, ash, and a hint of something that smelled like Dahlias. He couldn't breathe, and yet at the same time, he wanted to drink that smell in forever.
“Hm, reminiscing about old times?”
Her voice washes over him and his Hyde, like a waterfall to a dying man. Something in him almost wants to say sorry right there—to give up all of this fight that he's spent so long trying to defend.

Summary
“Wh– well– why–” James stammered, attempting to get his bearings, because if he didn’t, and he let Regulus tell him ‘kiss me’ one more time, his heart would probably give out. “Why don’t you get Sirius to help?”
Regulus narrowed his eyes. “Because Sirius would just knock his teeth out,” he said as though it were obvious.
“Yes,” James hissed, “and he’ll knock my teeth out if I kiss his little brother.”
“You can take a hit, Potter, I’ve seen you on the quidditch pitch,” Regulus waved him off, and James groaned, leaning away from him.
“Oh, yeah, great, so I’m the sacrifice,” he sighed.
“Precisely,” Regulus stepped right into his space, and James felt his chest go a little hot.
---
Or, Regulus asks James for a favor to get his ex off of his back, and James makes bad choices.

Summary
The thing was, it had seemed like it was already as bad as it was going to get; what could be worse than living with your brother’s best friend, who you happen to be in love with, who sees you as nothing more than an extension of your brother he just has to hang out with sometimes?
Apparently, the answer was having to pretend, to pretend, to be in love with him.
