Summary
It had been a long time since your world has revolved around anyone but Felix Catton. He was like that; undeniably, unassumingly magnetic. You'd watched countless fawning, fairweather friends drawn into his orbit, only to be cast out when he eventually got bored of them, but not you, never you. Maybe you were a toy in the beginning, the thing they'd all called you when they were feeling especially petty, but it became clear that Felix has wanted to keep you around.
You weren't a toy, you weren't family, you were a sharp and beautiful tool, too good, too useful to be put down. Your loyalty was rewarded with a life in his shape. Felix was like the sun, and you lived your life enjoying his warmth, and wanting to keep him shining.
And there's something about the way Oliver Quick thinks and talks that you almost recognise. The others call him a toy but the look in his eyes says he's capable of so much more than that. Oliver Quick is not one to be tossed aside either, and you'll do all you can to make Felix see that too.
The three of you; head, heart, hand.
Oliver thinks. Felix feels. You do.

Summary
Growing up you'd looked to find some common ground with your less than affectionate parents by investing yourself in the family business. Except it turns out, your father, the CEO, was less a businessman and more a mere figurehead, and he's happy to pass on responsibilities to you. At fourteen you're attending board meetings in his place, at sixteen, you're running them, and at nineteen you're essentially acting CEO, and about to start your first year at Oxford.
To the people who knew you professionally, you were a shark; beautiful, efficient, deadly. To the friends you find yourself making at Oxford, the people who can't even fathom the full extent of your world, they regard you like you're The Sun.
Except, of course, the boy with a title and a castle and a lifetime of feeling like a display piece for his own parents.
Felix Catton knows a shark when he sees one, and hates feeling like the only one who does.
Binary stars, destined to crash into each other in one way or another; a supernova, a cataclysmic disaster, he's sure. However this ends, it will be beautiful and terrible, Felix thinks, just like you.

Everyone's always called you Felix's Dog. Felix has always had a problem with this. You've always wished that he didn't. Oliver's never been much of a cat person anyways.

Summary
You're the daughter of one of Henrys, and known to be a snobby, entitled Princess of a woman; neither Venetia nor Felix seems to like you. Farleigh, however, claims that you and he have an ongoing arrangement. Felix says that arrangement is that you and Farleigh bitch together, then fuck like wild animals every time you hang out. Turns out you're even bitchier in person, and after a cruel joke played on Oliver by you and Farleigh at the Henrys dinner, he decides to take a bit of power back. Not that it goes as intended... nor that it goes completely wrong.
----
"'s your bedroom, princess," Oliver leans in, presses a kiss to your inner thigh, murmuring softly against your skin, "what do you think?"
"I think you're edging each other with psychosexual, power-play, bullshit-banter that's doing fucking nothing for me," you snap behind your hands, "and I'm gonna start kicking people again very soon," you warned.

Summary
“Is this another one of your schemes?” Felix asks against his skin. “Is this a trick?” He sounds desperate. Shattered.
There was no deadly poison in the champagne that night in the maze. Just a heat triggering drug that only Oliver drinks.

Summary
Inspired by prompt: 'Peter is unmasked on live television, and everyone goes berserk—you've already heard this one but here's the twist—he's wide-eyed, staring into the camera, frightened, but not because of his own safety. The first thing that comes out of his mouth is, "Someone please, please protect my Aunt May." And the entirety of New York cries out simultaneously. Heroes and neighbours and fellow students rain down on the Parker house, ready to defend her.'

Summary
Just before the start of the Force Awakens, Rey wakes up on Tatooine before the start of the Phantom Menace. With nothing to lose, Rey trades passage from the Outer Rim for repairing a certain Nubian ship. She will find that the Force's choice to pull her back in time is merely the start of her adventures, when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn decides he's found the Chosen One in a girl who knows less about her own past than the future of the galaxy. (no time paradox, no slash, no OCs)
