Summary
The Doctor has just half-regenerated back into himself, and Rose has no idea what to say to the man she's been desperate to find for over two years now. Luckily, they have a bit of time to figure it out before the Daleks find them and they have to go back to saving the universe again.
-
Set at the beginning of Journey's End in a calm period I made up purely so the Doctor and Rose can talk after being reunited.

Summary
Eddie had spent his whole life terrified. The world held so many things to be scared of, and sometimes he considered himself one of them. The possibilities only get larger after he receives a phone call from an old friend, in his forgotten home town of Derry, Maine.
Suddenly, like two different people collided to make one, broken, person, Eddie is faced with all of his biggest fears, from his childhood, and from the adult life he lived after. He's still terrified.
But fear gives things power, and who's to say it can't give Eddie some power too?
~
Very loosely based off of an idea given to me by a friend: in the pharmacy basement, Eddie kills the Leper. This is a series events from that moment, and how large the impact little changes can be. Typical warnings for It, if you've seen the movie you should be able to handle this, but please take caution as there are some graphic scenes and, at times, dark thoughts.
I edited the description to hopefully better fit the story.

But do you know the story of this angel and demon?---
Basically this is Theo's fault and now we all ship Ineffable Bureaucracy and I had to write this au.

Summary
Lance quickly finds Keith’s communication signal and hits call.
A few seconds later, he realizes what he’s just done, panics, and immediately slams the 'end call' button.
“Shit!” he hisses through his teeth, throwing the tablet on the bed and recoiling away from it like it’s a poisonous snake rather than innocent alien technology. Its screen goes blank again, wiped clean the way he wishes his impulsive action could be. “What am I doing?”

Summary
Pidge is still close —closer than is entirely comfortable if he has to be honest— giving him an evaluating glance. Lance doesn’t really know where to look, other than up her nose— but that grows old pretty fast. So he looks at himself in the reflection of her glasses. And squints.
He touches his own face for the first time since waking up— and feels the roughness of his chin.
“I have stubble,” he says, and the words are as alarmed as they can be even though they still sound slightly slurred, slightly off.
Pidge blinks a couple of times at him, and finally retracts into a more comfortable distance.
“Well, yeah,” she says. “You are like, what? 22? 23 in a couple of months?”
“I’m feeling— I’m feeling a little queasy,” he says then, with bright spots of color dancing in front of his eyes as he thinks 22.
Suddenly, a bucket gets shoved against his face. He takes hold of it with clammy fingers and he leans on his side so he can... use it. Thoroughly.
“I’m having Garrison flashbacks,” he hears Pidge say.
(Or: Lance is stung by an alien bug, loses his memories temporarily and makes assumptions about his and Keith's relationship. Also, Pidge cheats at Uno.)

Summary
It's a difficult thing to go from secretly crushing on your school rival at a distance to sharing a tentative psychic connection with him, an audience of three other people, and an assorted collection of sentient machines.
Harder still to watch that crush come to be something more.

Summary
Keith gets bits by a love bug and falls for Lance. Allura gets bit and falls for Hunk. The only problem is that Keith already has a real, overwhelming crush on Lance, so he decides to only do what Allura does so he doesn't give himself away. A plan that rapidly falls apart.
--
Lance stared at him expectantly.
Keith raised his brows at him. “And this… is why… we wear helmets! You reckless, stupid-stupidly hot, annoyingly charming—”
“Watch out, guys,” Pidge cut in. “I think Keith’s gonna self-combust trying to compliment Lance and drag him at the same time.”
Lance shoved Keith’s helmet into his chest. “Seriously? Acting like you’re dying, making me feel guilty about taking your helmet off, and you just didn’t wanna say anything nice to me? You’re a dick.”- Language:
