Summary
The hall light is on when Ross pulls into the driveway. Their bedroom and Sam’s office are at the back of the house, so he can’t see what lights are on up there, but Sam’s probably already in bed. He usually waits up for Ross, but today's game ran late.
Or, a peek into Ross Boston's home life.

Summary
"Joe’s hands are gentle when they curl around his hips and he pulls Ryan closer, legs spreading enough that Ryan can step between them. There’s soft pressure on his hips and he leans closer, hands coming to rest on the cushion beside Joe’s head. The first kiss is slow, the hint of tongue against Ryan’s lip enough to make him shudder despite the heat. There’s sweat gathering at the base of his spine and when Joe sighs into his mouth and presses harder at his hips, Ryan leans closer and kisses him properly."
Or, that time in 2003 when Ryan went to visit Joe and instead of leaving after one drink, he stays and they have sex on the hearthrug

Summary
They meet Jazmine at the gates to the graveyard. Raleigh hides the way his hands are trembling by curling them into fists and burying them into the pockets of his civvies. Yancy curls an arm around their sisters’ shoulders and presses a kiss to her finely coiffed hair.
They kiss her tear stained cheeks (It’s the last thing they ever do for her) and walk away with a last look at the pile of fresh earth that will house their Mom for eternity. Raleigh wonders whether he will see her sooner, rather than later. He wonders if the fatalists are right to think that the Kaiju attacks are the first wave of the apocalypse, and that God will soon reach down from the heavens and pluck them from their homes.

Summary
Written for the Remember When This Was Fun contest.
“Riley, love? You have to let go.” He doesn’t ease up the pressure and my heart leaps a little. “Okay then. Dad? Could you get Riley some water please?” When the door swings shut again I stare at him, willing him to speak, to help me understand.
Instead, he shivers, and I tug gently with the hand he has in a death grip, pulling him further up the bed so that I can pull the quilt over us both. When my father returns, Riley’s snuggled against my side, taking comfort from the contact, eyes still wide, hairline still damp with sweat. But he’s not gasping anymore, his eyes aren’t darting around like he’s scanning for threats, and he doesn’t look like he wants to run and run and never look back.

Summary
Two musical notes: Every parrot and every construction worker knows them. Shrill and salacious, so Sherlock will remember: You are on display. It’s supposed to be a compliment. Supposed to make him feel good, that they have laboured to remind him.
It makes him feel like a package of meat, set down into the cooler, raw and waiting to eaten.

Summary
Alina Starkov expected to wake up on a ship sailing across the True Sea, one that would take her far from Ravka, far from the Darkling and his mad crusade. Instead, she awoke in Os Alta to a devastating truth: the war was won nearly a century ago, her first love was dead, and she remembered nothing.
Not even that, as part of her surrender, she agreed to a political marriage.
