But for now they are Love, Sir’s pampered little pet romantic box boy, and Lucky, the new domestic box boy whose presence in the home shakes everything up. While their owner is away they find emotional intimacy and physical comfort in one another that leads them to doing the impossible: escaping.
** Or **
Wesper Box Boy Universe fic. In a world of legalised slavery, Wylan and Jesper are victims who escape the system.

Summary
Dogs have it easy. Dogs have it made. Zero responsibilities and MOST IMPORTANTLY no debts. Jesper Fahey has accepted that outrunning his problems is much easier on four paws until he meets a very attractive man at the park who happens to give the worlds best belly rubs. Wylan Van Eck is handsome, talented, and oh, look at that. He happens to be in need of some good old fashioned animal therapy and a guard dog too. Coincidence? Jesper keeping the secret that he's a shapeshifter in disguise as he grows closer to his human is definitely not ever going to blow up in his face. Pfft, no way. How could it?
Or
Its unclear who adopts who but both Jesper and Wylan get a new roommate. Trips to the dog park and animal hijinks ensue.

Summary
Against all odds Wylan Van Eck, son of famed newspaper tycoon Jan Van Eck, survived his father's murder attempt. Wandering the streets of New York City, hungry and desperate with ten cents to his name, Wylan decides to hide in plain sight as a newsie selling newspapers with all of the other orphans and runaways. The newsies are tough, and loyal. And maybe, just maybe Wylan can build a life for himself as one of them.
Then Jan Van Eck raises the price of the newspaper. Wylan and the newsies form a union and go on strike. Along the way Wylan and Jesper grow closer. Wylan's secrets threaten both his father and the strike. It's a long shot, but what are the odds that Wylan, Jesper, Kaz, Nina, Matthias, Inej, and all of the newsies can defeat the most powerful man in the city?

Summary
“Remember, the only way you’re coming is on my cock. I’m not going to touch you. And you are going to keep your hands to yourself.” Jesper strokes Wylan's heated cheek tenderly. “Do you think you can do that?”
It’s the same rules as last night. And the night before that. Possibly tomorrow night too. Until Wylan comes untouched or shouts the one word that ends this whole game.

Author Commentary: To Live In Color by Pen_n_Notebook

Summary
Author Commentary edition of To Live In Color (summary below). The full text of the original story is included in this version, but the commentary occasionally makes reference to scenes before they happen, so reading the actual fic first is recommended before reading the commentary. Inside, you'll find discussion of the writing process, character and scene analysis, ideas that didn't make the cut, and shamelessly projecting life experiences on Wylan Van Eck.
**Wesper Cinderella AU**
Wylan Van Eck has grown up cleaning his own family’s home because he cannot read. It’s not easy work, but it’s gotten easier over the years. Now that his father has remarried and a has a new heir on the way, Wylan has the suspicion that he won’t be kept around much longer, even to clean. So for once in Wylan’s life, he decides to live for himself. He’ll attend the King’s Masquerade Ball whether his father wants him there or not. However, his plan the night of the masquerade goes sideways when he meets a handsome sharpshooter and the criminal crew he runs with carrying out a heist at the palace.

Summary
How jealous he is, about how well others manage to live in this place and not have any care as to what they take apart to do so.
He parts his lips again, respect for himself evaporating, and he imagines a pound of his flesh as well.
‘Okay,’ Wylan says.
‘The deal is the deal?’
He nods. ‘Yes.’
‘Shake my hand.’
He does. ‘Deal is the deal,’ he says. ‘Take the flute.’
Or, Wylan’s time in the Barrel.Bookmarked by Pen_n_Notebook

Summary
“What's wrong, Nina said your heat beat is going a mile a minuet. Talk to me, darling.”
“I recognized a couple of guys down there” Wylan said haltingly.
“Who?” Jesper said, running his thumb over Wylan’s knee, “Ex lovers? Siblings? Old pals?..
“They tried to kill me.” He blurted out, surprising even himself.
Jesper paled, taken aback by Wylan’s answer, “What?”

Summary
Once, Kaz had said that Wylan thought like a lockpick. Wrong. Wylan thought like a clock, ticking, ticking, counting down the seconds he had left to live.
Breathe, he told himself, told Jesper, as the world spun and the canal waters swallowed him under: six minutes. He could survive without oxygen for six minutes.
----------------------
Or, a Wylan character study: the one in which Wylan meets a lost prince, Jesper writes a song, and Kaz loses a chess match.

Summary
Nina Zenik is a vet med student who's almost done with her clinical rotations... but she's also secretly a very powerful witch. When someone brings a cursed, injured werewolf into the animal hospital, Nina decides to try to save his life, despite the bitter hatred that exists between wolves and witches. She enlists the help of her housemates, Jesper (who's also a witch), Inej (who's fae), and Kaz (who may or may not be a vampire). But breaking this curse requires more than Nina bargained for, and time is running out. Can the Crows save the werewolf before it's too late? More importantly, can they do it under the nose of their all-too-human housemate, Wylan? And--perhaps the most important question of all--will Nina finally get some decent waffles?
Written for the 2023 Grishaverse Big Bang. Updates Sundays.
