<blockquote>Luke Skywalker's parents are never going to be able to afford the college of his dreams. Luke resigns himself to community college. His best friend, Wedge, has a different idea. / Mind still scrambling for some sort of solution, Wedge asked, "Marriage? It's legal for you to get married." "And thank God for that." Luke rolled his eyes. "I don't know if you've noticed, buddy, but supreme court decision aside, there's not a lot of options for gay guys around here. Besides, how does that pitch go, marry me for the student loan debt?" "Okay," Wedge responded. </blockquote>

<blockquote>Crowley is stunned when, out of the blue, Aziraphale has a proposal. Yes, that kind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>hdjngjjbg you guys earlier i was waiting at the bus stop just outside a bookstore and the owner, a little upper-middle aged man who gives off immense gay vibes, walked by on his way in and just. handed me a bag of fun size almond joy????</blockquote>

<blockquote>Julian wakes lying on his front, with a mild but insistent headache, an uncomfortably dry throat, and a dim sense that the bed he's in is not his own. And he's right: it's Garak's. Because he and Garak got possibly a little bit too drunk at Quark's, and then possibly also a little bit married on top of it, and there's just no way this is going to be anything but a disaster.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Mmf," said Shiro, catching crumbs with his robot hand, and then he chewed and swallowed and looked arrested. "Wow, that's really good." He looked around at them all and said, "Do you guys realise you're not talking when you do that?"</blockquote> ➤ I don't know who anyone is or what's going on but I am charmed and this is charming! ➤ (note: platonic team soulbond!)

<blockquote>“Tim Drake, huh? Of the Gotham City Drakes. Fancy.” Conner touched the photo attached to one of the newspaper clippings, Tim’s face grainy and small. “Hey, I can handle it. Just because I’m not super used to going undercover on my own doesn’t mean I don’t know how it’s done.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>"I know we only really met yesterday, and this may be skipping ahead a lot," says Victor, "but would it be all right if we told people we're dating?"</blockquote> ➤ wip through part 14, last updated in 2018

<blockquote>So his new partner was surprisingly not completely un-attractive, for a human. Gavin Hayes had impressive aptitude scores, and a friendly smile, and eyes sharp as winter currents, taking in the station and remembering names and details with an ease that belied his causal charm. All things that transcended species boundaries and general integumentary inadequacies. It didn’t mean Sezin found him sexy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Haruhi said to the stranger, "The food's good, isn't it? Have you tried the small quiches?" She'd spoken English on the assumption that most people in the room would likely understand it, but when the man turned it became apparent that he was Japanese. Haruhi knew this because she recognised his face. It was the face of Japan's ace skater, Katsuki Yuuri. "K-K-Katsuki Yuuri-senshu!" Haruhi clapped her hand over her mouth, feeling the blood rise to her face. "Ah," said Katsuki. He was different off the ice. His spectacles reduced the impact of his eyes, and the shape of his face was somehow softer, less distinctive. "Do I know you?"  / Yuuri makes a friend. Viktor hates it.</blockquote> ➤ I don't know the fandom yoi is crossed over with but the knowledge is unnecessary for appreciating the fic

<blockquote>Damen steals Nikandros' thunder. "I’m going to ride home tomorrow and begin preparations to ask for her hand,” Nikandros says, and Laurent smiles wider and says, “Oh, wonderful,” as Damen leaps to his feet with a thundering crash of chair against flagstone. “Nikandros!” he shouts, papers flying, arms wide, “This— amazing! She sounds amazing! Congratulations!”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Friends do things together. :)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Victor wishes he had a collection of Yuuri's memorabilia. Yuuri doesn't think there is any. Yuri Plisetsky knows better. Just a silly-sweet thing, set about six months after the show. Relationships in the background and the Otayuri is very slight.</blockquote>

<blockquote>An attempt to work WITH the ongoing Spock/Uhura pairing.</blockquote> ➤ (the spock/uhura is background, the focus is on kirk/spock)

<blockquote>Mike and Psmith are stranded during the bank's annual yachting trip.</blockquote>

<blockquote>‘You’re impossible,’ Yuri says, picking up a robe to wrap himself in. ‘I’ll get the 1989.’ Minami watches him go, and then turns to find Viktor watching him watching. ‘Ah,’ Minami says, and Viktor wonders for a second if he’s going to apologise. That’s happened before, and it always makes Viktor feel weird. He’s the one who commissions Yuri’s competition costumes, after all: how anyone could think he has a problem with other people checking out his husband, given that, is a mystery to him. He likes it, likes knowing that other people want what he, Viktor, has got.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Yuri wouldn’t categorically say that he’s moping. It’s just a crush, after all, and Yuri is fine. He is in control of his feelings. He hasn’t even checked Otabek’s Instagram account today yet! So, it’s completely unjustified that both Victor and Yuuri are holding this thing they aren’t calling an intervention for him. (Or, the Companion Fic to the one where Otabek pines for years.)</blockquote> ➤ Yuri's pov on the events of "But I'm Not There Yet"

<blockquote>A year ago, Victor would never have dared to do something like this. Yuuri would have flinched, pulled away, been convinced Victor was making fun of him. Now Yuuri just smiled and said, "Think about what? My husband coming to bed in a wig and flannel pajamas? No, I don't think I did."</blockquote>

<blockquote>There's two types of dates Victor and Yuri go on in St. Petersburg. Yuri likes them both.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Bertie is dismayed to find that he rather likes the latest girl that Aunt Agatha is egging him on to marry.</blockquote> ➤ so do I! But also the lack of decisive conclusiveness of all parties as to what's going on in the end makes this a difficult fic to tag. ➤ Also. I am DELIGHTED by the nickname Hecken for Helen, and even more that it is a historically attested nickname!!

<blockquote>It started out as a joke, socked feet on hardwood flooring, but somehow the pair skate became something much more for Yuri and Otabek in the end.</blockquote> ➤ the image of them doing SOCK PAIRS is just too amazing

<blockquote>Yuri convinces Otabek to get snapchat, just to send selfies of himself making faces at Victor and Yuuri. He gets more than he expected.</blockquote>

<blockquote>‘It is no good asking me,’ Laurence said at last, pushing the pattern-book away over breakfast, ‘I am not the one–’ Not the one who would be living with the result, he had been about to say. But they had hardly accepted Tharkay’s invitation as casual houseguests.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Phichit's phone buzzes. christophe-gc has posted a new photo, it tells him. When he thumbs the screen, it brightens to reveal a shot of Christophe Giacometti, lounging on a bench, wearing nothing but a Speedo and his skates. greetings from your local king of selfies, says the caption. Phichit doesn't actually know Chris - not personally. He has nothing to prove. But Phichit is also, categorically, a competitive little shit, and he knows he can do better. So it begins.</blockquote>

<blockquote>‘What should I do?’ Viktor asks, which surprises Yuri. He’d thought Viktor was going to go on with freaking himself out over the fact that Yuri’s freaking out. ‘I told you.’ Yuri leans into Viktor’s shoulder a little, because he can do that now, without it being weird, or turning into something neither of them are ready to handle. ‘You gotta have more faith in me than I do.’</blockquote>

<blockquote>Marco visits the Rat in the infirmary after the Rat escapes from a Jiardasian interrogation. But the truth serum that the Jiardasians gave the Rat hasn't quite worn off yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>A new country, a new language.</blockquote>

<blockquote>It wasn’t that Jack was an unreasonable person, of course. He understood how things were supposed to work, that there was an order to them, and that deviations from that order led to problems that ranged from “Top NHL Draft Prospect Drops Out of Hockey, Drops in to Rehab” to “this might be a little hard to explain.” It was just that Eric Bittle made him forget that order.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Spock likes McCoy. McCoy won't take a hint.</blockquote>

<blockquote>It was the Queer as Folk that tipped him off. But for the four months leading up to it, Gautam just blamed his brother.</blockquote> ➤ In which Gautam has a friendship with a ghost in his apartment, who talks to him via movie titles pulled up on Gautam's netflix account
