Summary
Professor Bailiff thought he had long let go of the love of his life, a romance he believed had slipped away forty years ago. But as retirement looms and the weight of loneliness presses in, a letter arrives that shakes his conviction, challenging everything he thought he knew about lost time and second chances.
Or: Four decades after their relationship ended, Irving gets a letter that forces him to look back on his time at college with Burt, the charming Art History student who stole his heart.

Summary
‘I’m Irving, by the way, and to whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?’
‘Burt,’ he says as he takes the proffered hand. Strong, slightly callused, yet with a softness, he thinks as he wonders how long is acceptable to shake a stranger’s hand before he says something about it. He figures it’s been long enough and lets go reluctantly. ‘I’m the curator.’
----
A version of season 1. Title from Van Gogh's First Steps, After Millet.

Summary
Captain Arin Raptor seeks treasure and adventure as he and his pirate crew sail the seas on their ship The D-Cruiser. However when a siren by the name of Dan joins in on the action, what's in store for the group, and most notably, Arin?
(Based off my Sea Grumps AU which you can learn more about on my blog!)(Update as of 7/2020- this work is incredibly outdated and was written before any allegations and truth of certain youtubers came out- a newer version of this story will be out eventually but for now, this is the original fic. Take with a grain of salt and hopefully you enjoy it to see it's remaster in the future!)

Summary
In a sense, Tulio and Miguel are false gods. They are dishonest and deceivers. And, at some point or another, might have been called gods by those who worshiped them. But faith in them was a thousand years dead long before they ever wash up in a new world. They are but guests in this golden city trying their best to not wear out their welcome. Miguel's all for putting down roots. Tulio's all for getting home before it swallows them entirely. Altivo is more than a horse. Chel, their new priestess, is very much in over her head, but she wouldn't have it any other way.

just not telling the whole truth by gayvincreel
Fandoms: The Book of Mormon - Parker/Stone/Lopez
26 Aug 2015
Tags
Summary
That’s why Elder Price is safe to like, is safe to dote over, is safe to fantasize about, because he can learn to feel more comfortable with his – with his alternate thoughts, if you will, without any fear of his thoughts being reciprocated. Without his reoccurring fear that any close bond he forms with a man will crumble in on itself due to his own discomfort and self-hatred just like it did with Steve.
He learns that he shouldn't love boys years before he realizes he does, he learns that he doesn't love himself years before he realizes he should, and he learns that he can do both less than one year after he meets Elder Price.
(Spans Elder McKinley's life from age five to twenty. Mostly written because I was sad there wasn't an angsty Turn It Off reprise. Finished 2.24am).
Edit 16/03/2020: Book of Mormon London closed on the 5th anniversary of when I first saw it. What strange times we live in. Stay safe, everyone.
Edit 02/10/2024: Gavin Creel wasn't my OG Price, but he was a joy to me all the same. A great loss at far too young.

Summary
The door opens. Alec tenses, and his body throbs.
A man steps through, and Alec curls his fingers into his palms, terror pulsing through him. Because the man isn't a man. He's a warlock. A demon. The same person he felt crouching over him when he fell.Why is he here? What has the warlock done to him?
"Well well, little angel. You're awake."
***
Alec has been told the same stories all his life. He's been taught the same lines, over and over again. Downworlders are reckless, impulsive, demonic. They're not to be trusted.
And Magnus Bane is the epitome of everything evil about Downworlders.
At least, that's what people keep telling him. Alec's not quite so sure anymore.
Or: In which the Nephilim have wings, are taught to loathe Downworlders, and Alec is presented with a conundrum when Magnus Bane saves his life.

Summary
In the dark where no one can see, Boris presses his lips to the thin knot of scar tissue over Theo’s wrist. It’s a request; for forgiveness, for absolution, for something neither of them has a name for.
“But you are alive,” he says, “you idiot.”

Summary
We spent hours joking and laughing at the bar over a bottle of vodka, our heads together, just like we had done as boys. Trying to convince myself that the only reason I was holding my hand on his shoulder, giggling in his ear, my face mere inches away from his, was because otherwise he wouldn't hear me over the music, even though he was the one doing most of the talking. I had been drinking considerably less than normal over the past few months, so it didn't take me long to start feeling disoriented and weirdly courageous, the mass of people around me blending into each other, becoming unidentifiable like droplets of water in an ocean, with only Boris standing out as a steady beacon of light.
Set after the book ends, Theo and Boris meet again after a year and half.

Summary
“And how did you come across a particularly sloppy Renoir reproduction?” Theo can’t help but ask as Boris gestures at the bartender for another two shots and smirks when Theo says reproduction. Even if Boris struck Theo as the art type, a fake Renoir is not the sphere of work that Theo could imagine Boris’ collection to be.
Boris ticks a thumbnail against the side of his glass pensively. “Friend of friend gave it to me. A gift of sorts. One of my associates suggested I get it looked at by professional.”
“And you found me,” Theo finishes for him.
Boris holds his hands out, palms up, and replies, “Small world, no?”
[Or art restoration expert Theo Decker finds himself slowly pulled into the high risk/high reward world of art forgery at the hands of his old classmate, Boris Pavlikovsky.]

Summary
"Neil feels something in his chest light up. Like a firecracker or an atom bomb or something else that could self-destruct at any moment. It aches in a dangerous sort of way.
'God', Neil thinks to himself as he follows Todd into the house to help him with boxes. Why had he thought being roommates with Todd was a good idea in the first place? He’s going to suffocate on these feelings; they’re getting too wedged in his windpipe. 'God, you lovesick bastard, you’re so, so stupid.' "Or, alternatively; a modern day university AU in which Neil lets daddy issues prevent him from telling Todd how he feels, Charlie doesn’t know how to knock, Meeks and Pitts are the only characters with brain cells, and the Neil Perry Support Group is born.

Summary
“We… found you out by Lake Franklin, on the rocks,” Goodsir began, halting. “Sprawled there, all but dying. Your body was shutting down. None of us knew who put you there or why you might have arrived. Dr McDonald and I have been working to stabilise you.”
“McDonald,” James repeated. Once more, his judgement of the situation veered toward his own afterlife - - McDonald had died during the Carnivale fire. “I - I died, then? This is - Hell, or Heaven, or some such afterlife?”
Goodsir stared at him.
“I don’t quite think so, sir,” he said. “As I said, this town - it’s for… er, unworldly things, I should suppose you might say. Things that might make men uncomfortable, should they know they roomed with us. It’s safer for us here, out of the way.”
or: Life after death is not a foreign concept to James - but he'd not been expecting this. Struck with the knowledge he's been placed into a different time, James finds himself unable to escape the Expedition in a new way - each face he meets in town is one he greeted on the ships in 1845, and some of them seem awfully interested in seeing history repeat itself.
