Summary
tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake
and dress them in warm clothes again
Laurent de Vere has developed a routine: work five days a week, sleep in Jord's spare room, and return to his Uncle's one-bedroom apartment for the weekend. He doesn't expect change to run into him on the street—in the form of an FBI agent masquerading as a local cop, who just so happens to be investigating the case that Laurent has been living in for a decade. Damen becomes an unexpected ally and friend, and when Laurent's world is thrown into unexpected and irreversible turmoil, he has to decide whether or not he's willing to sacrifice what's most important to him in order to keep Damen by his side.

Summary
Laurent reaches for a notepad to write down the man's potion order, and glances around for a pen. He’d seen at least four lying on the counter before he’d opened this morning, but Nicaise’s Petunia chews through cheap ballpoints like catnip, and there’s nothing Laurent can do to stop her. He sighs in frustration, glancing up to apologize for the delay just in time to see the customer pull a pen from the empty space in front of him. He squints at it blearily, running a hand over the stubble on his jaw, before offering it to Laurent.
Okay. Magic professor. Laurent can work with that.Or: Five times Laurent regrets owning a magical wares shop, and one time he really doesn't.

Summary
Victor steps onto the gangway behind his mother and father, letting his ears fall deaf to their idle Russian chatter, and looks up at the ship, basking in her shadow. As his feet touch soft, velvet-red carpet, he tries very hard not to feel like the Titanic is his prison ship; dragging him to America, to his perfectly-planned future in chains, kicking and screaming with every last inch of his dying will.
Yuuri and Victor board the Titanic having never crossed paths—Yuuri had won his tickets in a last-minute game of cards, Victor had boarded as the first-class son of a business tycoon, destined to inherit his father's millions. The last thing they expect is to be caught up in each others' lives, and to become desperately entangled in a love affair that threatens to ruin them both. -

Summary
The sound of photo paper shuffling has faded, and the professor is standing in the front of the room with her hands clasped in front of her, half a smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
“Turn to the person sitting next to you,” she says, rich voice reverberating throughout the room. “Introduce yourself, if you haven’t yet, because this is who you’re going to be doing your next project with.”
Emile hasn’t stopped looking at him. Nicaise lets his eyes dart back up to his smile, to the dimple on his left cheek, and feels his cheeks flush again for an entirely different reason.

More Landmarks, Less Landmines by laurxnts, vannes
Fandom: Captive Prince - C. S. Pacat, Yuri!!! on Ice (Anime)
11 Dec 2016
Summary
This is an AU set in the Yuri on Ice universe involving a lot of the Captive Prince characters too in which the six of them are all close friends, all figure skaters (more or less), and spend a ridiculous amount of time in each other's company forming what is probably the strangest makeshift adoptive family ever.
This series is basically going to be a bunch of non-linear one shots written by Alex or Emma, with the occasional multi-chapter plot fic thrown in. we’ll clarify in the author’s notes of each fic the relative time periods, because there’s going to be a lot of jumping around for character and relationship studies. Each fic can be read as a standalone with the basic principle that it is set in the universe of the six of them being a friendship group. Kind of like how you can watch a random episode of a sitcom and still follow it.
Disclaimers: this fic series won't be 100% feel good (although it will have a Lot of happiness), it won't erase the canonical child abuse in Captive Prince, homophobia, mental illness, or the political states of some countries. Nothing will be fetishized, everything will be dealt with well, and Everything will be warned accordingly at the beginning of fics and in the tags.

Summary
The thing with musical prodigies is that they're soloists, and soloists play alone. He doesn't want to play alone anymore.
-
"A summer guest lecture series? Oh, very nice. I wish I could sit in on that."
"Do you also play the piano?"
"Not even a little bit," says Wei Ying cheerfully. "But I'm sure you'd have a lot of thoughts on musicality that would be relevant regardless."
"Oh," says Lan Zhan. He seems to be searching for something else to say. "I believe it is oversubscribed," he says finally.
"As it should be," says Wei Ying, and does not tell him that he has all of Lan Zhan's albums downloaded onto his phone, listened to over and over when he's on a train, a plane, waiting for a taxi, has followed his career since he overheard half a Mendelssohn when they were fifteen.

Summary
"...For me?" Jin Ling looks bewildered. "You don't have to, I can buy it myself."
"We know. You could probably buy the whole shop," says Jingyi, not unkindly. "That's not the point."
"I don't understand," says Jin Ling.
"It's pretty. It would look nice on you. And also I would like to give it to you. Sometimes it's just that simple." says Sizhui.

Summary
Neil Josten is covered in marks. The soulmate one isn't any different. Soulmates are a weakness, his mum tells him, and his is the kind of shit people say when they catch you. You get caught, you die. But privately, deep down, he thinks it makes him stronger. Not the person on the other side, he has no time for that or them. But the words. For a very unlucky runaway who has to constantly reinvent himself to live, BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME running down his achilles is almost encouraging.
Andrew Doe tells the coach in juvie that he doesn't give a fuck about exy, it's just a way to pass the time. He wakes up the next morning with a fuck-off huge soulmark on his clavicle, stretching from shoulder-to-shoulder: FUCK YOU! WHOSE RACQUET DID YOU STEAL? It’s the dumbest fucking thing he’s ever seen in his life. He understands physics intimately, the arcs, circles, trajectories, external forces. This is one of many that's acting on him, but it's a shot he intends on blocking.
Or: If you're lucky, the first words your soulmate says to you end up somewhere on your body. Andrew Minyard and Neil Josten must be the unluckiest people on the planet, to get stuck in each other's gravity.
