Summary
Hank has stopped thinking about his place in the world for a long time. Old, washed-up cops don’t live exciting lives. He just does what he always does: cracks cases, drinks whiskey, and goes home to Sumo.
But then the android sent by CyberLife shows up – disarmingly curious, intentionally uprooting all the familiar aspects of Hank’s life, and he jumps headfirst into an android revolution. Barrels into cases like an unstoppable storm.
Halfway through, Hank realizes he’s no longer at the sidelines of his life.
And that Connor makes it better. All of it.
[Or alternatively: an episodic glimpse into the life of Hank Anderson and his partner Connor. Takes place after the revolution, happy ending included.]

Summary
Even though Fane might be a grumpy, snarky skeleton from a bygone age, Aralene and the other Godwoken are quick to discover that he has an excellent way with kids. There’s a story behind it, of course, one that Fane only remembers in fleeting moments, made of half-truths and memories.
Until the very end, when there really is no chance for redemption.

Summary
The tension within Aloth gets another meaning when he recalls the Watcher out on the battlefield, her teeth brilliantly white against the steel of one of her weapons, tongue darting out to swipe a drop of blood off the blade.
That fine line of devastatingly beautiful but dangerous.
Aloth wants to be there suddenly – desperately, to walk that line and find out where it goes. What happens if he twists his hands into her shirt, draws her close, and kisses that dangerous mouth. If he follows her not with his spells but with his hands and his body and his tongue. What happens if he pushes his hands into her hair and stays there, kisses the tips of her ears like daggers, draws her into him as much as she’s drawn him into her.
[Or alternatively: Aloth barrels into having post-battle sex with the Watcher. There’s love involved.]

will byers’ guide to advanced concepts in painting by falloutboi

27 Dec 2025

Summary
Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
--
Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.
Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

Summary
“I love you,” Mike mumbles sleepily into his hair, wriggling closer. His arm winds across Will’s stomach, and Will feels the ghost of a kiss being pressed to the junction of his shoulder and neck.
Will blinks his eyes open, warmth flooding the length of his body. He shifts, twisting around to peer up at Mike, squinting. “You- what?” he murmurs, lifting an eyebrow, and Mike jolts up, peeking over his shoulder sheepishly.
“Oh,” he says, blushing as Will nudges his way to roll over onto his back, Mike hovering over him. “Sorry, I thought you were asleep.”
Will stares up at him. “You were gonna say you loved me for the first time while I was asleep?”
Mike lets out an undignified squeak, and drops his head down onto Will’s shoulder. “No.”
A series of 'I love you's, both spoken and unspoken.

it’s not the side effects of the caffeine (i’m thinking that it must be love) by rearviewmirror for literary_mafioso

Summary
“I’ll get an iced frappuccino to go,” the guy decides. “The caramel cookie one, with extra whipped cream. Hey, can you put those little chocolate ribbons on it? I got a buddy, he says they’re to die for. And while you’re at it, add a couple pumps of caramel syrup. How many do you think is good? Five? Yeah, do five. And a few pumps of that cinnamon syrup, too.”
Neil’s generally pretty good at not reacting to what customers order, but he must’ve let something slip through, because the guy raises his hands defensively and quickly adds:
“Hey, cut me some slack, man. I’m trying to quit amphetamines.”
