Summary
In mid-April, as the trees outside start to bud and bloom, she runs into Joe and Nicky in the kitchen just before sunrise.
Joe is sitting cross-legged on the counter, his hair wild and his eyes half-closed, eating a large bowl of oatmeal with one eye on the clock, and the other on Nicky, who is singing something in what sounds like Latin as he pulls things from the pantry. She cracks eggs into a pan, yawning.
Joe ducks out of the kitchen before Nile is done scrambling her eggs to pray Fajr, placing a lingering kiss on Nicky’s mouth, and a swift one on Nile’s forehead as he goes, and when Nile’s food is done she takes a plate to the table and watches Nicky work.

Summary
“What’s there to talk about?” Quentin asked blandly, picking up a handful of butter packets and creamers to build a small tower.
Eliot coughed awkwardly, and a basket of peaches and plums appeared on the table between them.
“Dear god, end me now,” Eliot said loudly, after a moment of stunned silence. He picked up a fork and tried to stab himself in the neck with it. Tried, because it turned into a tangle of gummy worms in his hands before it could pierce his carotid, or bruise his windpipe, or whatever it was he was trying to do.
“Uh.” Quentin said, unsure whether to stare at the gummy worms or the peaches and plums, or Eliot’s furious, embarrassed face.

Summary
With a smile on his face, Bilbo guided their ponies towards Hobbiton, babbling about the history of the area before falling into a contemplative silence as they rode.
So little of the landscape had changed, but Bilbo knew that he himself had changed so much as to be unrecognizable to the Hobbits they rode past, those who were out lazily tilling the fields, or napping amongst the new clover.
He was riding a pony, for Durin’s sake! He was riding a pony shoulder-to-shoulder with Thorin Oakenshield, son of Thror, son of Thrain, King Under the Mountain, and Bilbo’s husband.
Bilbo had left the Shire a hapless burglar chasing after thirteen dwarves who were riding to their deaths in dragon-flame and gold-sickness, and he was returning with their King. He was older and wiser, and a burglar who had stolen the heart of the King’s mountain and then the heart of the King himself.

Summary
“It’s nice, isn’t it Buck?” Steve says at one point, one cheek distended with a huge bite of food. “A little apartment all our own in Brooklyn. Nice neighbors, good food.”
“Air conditioning. Coffee,” Bucky adds, and Steve smiles at him.
“August in New York,” he says, “I got the city and I got air conditioning and I got you. Ain’t nothin’ else I’ll ever need.” He lets his legs fall outward, pressing against Bucky’s shins. “You ever think about how lucky we got?”
“Every god damn day,” Bucky says, “chew your food, Rogers, before you choke.”

Summary
Sidney let him in and showed him where to put his shoes before leading Jake into the kitchen where he offered, in succession: a bottle of Gatorade, an apple, a protein bar, a protein shake, and an omelet. He had just pulled open yet another cupboard, which seemed to be entirely full of plastic bins of nuts, when Jake curled his fingers tight around the marble countertop of the kitchen island and said:
“I think I’m gay.”

Summary
When Finn has been with Poe for three months, sleeping in his bed and eating his food, charming the pants off the regulars and the power sockets off BB-8, Poe digs out the dusty holo-file of the lease agreement he signed when he opened Dameron’s Delights.
“Hey buddy,” he calls into the kitchen, where Finn is examining the gorgonzola he imported for a batch of meat and cheese pies. “You got a last name you want to use?”
“Why?” Finn calls back. “I thought you said cheese wasn’t supposed to be blue.”
“I want to write you into my lease agreement as a co-owner of the shop,” Poe says firmly. “Some kinds of cheese are meant to be blue.”

Summary
“This is not how I expected this to go,” Simon says, removing his hands from his hair at Clary’s glance. “I expected to hang around his bookstore pining after him for the next two to three years, leave when he got a restraining order against me, or his bookstore shut down, because seriously, he is the worst business owner ever, and then spend the rest of my life tormenting myself over what might have been.”

Summary
D’Artagnan meets Porthos first. He runs into the man in the staff locker rooms at the hotel, while he’s pulling on his porters’ uniform and trying to remember all of the instructions Treville, the night manager, has handed down to him.
“There’s not much to do at night,” Porthos says, when D’Artagnan asks. He has a badge on his chest that says SECURITY, and a walkie talkie on his hip. “Sometimes there are late arrivals, and someone may ask you to carry something every once in a while, but otherwise, you’ve just got to keep yourself busy.” He grins, and D’Artagnan relaxes at the sight of the toothy grin. “Easiest paycheck in the world. Just one thing: don’t let Athos scare you. He’s all bark and no bite.”
“Athos?” D’Artagnan asks, but Porthos just grins again and salutes him, heading off on his rounds. “Who the hell is Athos?”

Summary
“Hello, sunshine,” Grantaire says, and throws his arms wide. “Of all the coffee shops in all the towns in the world, he walks into mine.”
“I’m pretty sure the Musain is Musichetta’s,” Enjolras says, and then, “Don’t call me sunshine.”

Summary
They fight. Of course they fight.
They fight because Nasir has lived most of his life on his own, and Agron loves him so much he can’t help but hover. They fight on the job, when Agron shoves Nasir out of the way of a knife-wielding body-guard and it’s only his reflexes and Nasir’s somewhat terrifying hand-to-hand combat skills that help him avoid a switch-blade to the gut.

Summary
Death has, almost certainly, met a slew of younger brothers. He has, almost certainly, forced all of them to kneel before him while he played dice with their families.
But Duro was not born a slave, and he never learned manners.
**Please read the notes for this story, and allow me to try to explain myself.

Summary
They all go for coffee after the class, and Agron feels off balance the entire time, still a little self-conscious from the whole taking his clothes off to be scrutinized by strangers thing, and the way Castus sits beside Nasir and name drops Rousseau and Dubuffet with ease. They lose Agron the second they start talking about art, but he stays because Nasir talks with his hands when he’s passionate about something, and he keeps looking at Agron like if he smiles enough at Agron he’ll understand the argument Nasir is making about colour theory. (He doesn’t, but he smiles back, every time.)
The last time Agron models for the class he may or may not hit the gym the day before, and avoid carbs before heading to the art studio.
“This is a disturbing new development in your infatuation with this guy,” Duro says, when Agron declines a slice of pepperoni pizza. “I may need to meet him.”
Agron just throws a slice of cantaloupe at his brother’s face and heads to the bus stop to catch the bus to campus.

Summary
They get set up like an assembly line: Agron labels the envelopes and Nasir stuffs them. He brings his laptop over and turns on some music, and they talk and laugh, and take breaks every hour or so to lie around on the floor of the office and watch stupid youtube videos. Nasir makes fun of Agron for being a metalhead, and Agron pulls his hair, gently, and Nasir does not throw him on the couch and ravish him, because he is an adult human being with something resembling self-control.

Summary
My favourite part of the canonical bromance between Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto is that they're both literary nerds. And that they confine their displays of masculinity to the MASTERY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. And you guys, I am such a hopeless and devoted English major, and I am just not strong enough to resist the lure of grown men who fly spaceships and use words like "moribund" and "zeitgeist" in interview situations.
So this is a story of how boy wooed boy.

Summary
I wrote this story a couple of years ago because it was autumn, and I baked a tray of pumpkin muffins. I love Merlin as an eccentric baker who woos Arthur with good food. There is nothing complicated here: just a little bit of flour on cheekbones, free fudge squares, and a happy ending.
[edit: 1/7/2016: I feel compelled to put in a quiet little thank you to everyone reading this story, three years after I posted it. I'm so glad to see you enjoying it, and that it's still making the rounds. xxx]
