Summary
“We talked about it before we went over to fetch you,” Ashton starts, “and Michael talked it over with Liz, and we decided that you shouldn’t live on your own for the time being.”
“You decided that I shouldn’t live on my own,” Luke repeats. “Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I’m an adult who can make his own decisions.”
Ashton smiles, but it’s thin and void of humour. “You’re staying with me for a while, Luke.”
A story about figuring out how to handle the difficulties life throws at you, on your own and with the help of loved ones.

Summary
Shut the fuck up. Please.— 5A
Yeah, it’s impolite. But Calum isn’t a saint, he’s only a high-school teacher.
He walks back to the neighbouring apartment and slams the note on the door none-too-kindly. He also pointedly slams his own door shut when he gets back to his apartment.
There’s the buzzing of speakers, and a prolonged silence. Then, Calum hears the creak of a chair shifting followed by the click of a door unlocking. He prays that his note conveyed his sentiment: I just want to get some sleep.
The chair creaks loudly as its inhabitant reoccupies it. Then,
“Sorry, man,” says the voice, presumably to Ash. “Jus’ some stray at the door.”
Calum seethes. What the fuck?
“Yeah, no,” Asshole Neighbour goes on, clearly and loudly, like he knows Calum can hear. Which is true. “No, I’d just invest in some soundproofing instead of fucking around in other peoples’ business.”
Or, Calum moves into a new apartment, but the walls are really thin. Also, his new neighbour is annoyingly loud.

i don’t know what to do (about this dream and you) by lukehoodings

Summary
Calum’s breath hits his cheek. Luke’s brain is white noise now. Calum’s never touched him like this before. His mouth, his face. Not the stupid space at the corner of his lips that Luke didn’t even know was sensitive until right this second. And it’s not just the thumb on his lip that’s doing it. It’s his eyes, the way they linger, pinning him down more effectively than any dream-Calum ever did.
“What happens in these dreams, Luke?”
The thumb leaves his lip, slides down to his chin, coaxing. Like he’s trying to pull the truth right out of him. Luke swallows hard. His voice doesn’t want to exist. Calum’s eyes don’t move, don’t blink. They’re heavy on him, dark, focused, expectant.
Luke hasn’t confessed anything, not really. But the way Calum’s looking at him now makes him feel stripped bare. Like the truth is already written across his forehead in Sharpie and Calum’s just waiting for him to read it out loud.
Luke exhales, shaky. “I think you already know.”

Summary
Luke stops short, right in front of Calum. He’s wearing blue make up under his eyes. Luke knows for a fact that it’s from one of Luke’s make up palettes. He likes this colour on Calum. It even matches his blue kilt.
“Hey. Need a ride?” Luke offers a crooked grin as he digs his keys out of his pocket. The lights flash when the car unlocks.

Summary
Before Luke can lean down to pull on his boxers, Calum darts to the end of the bed, kneeling at the edge next to Luke, batting the boxers out of his hands. “Don’t.”

Summary
The walls bleed black again, and Castiel is deposited back into the room he was snatched from in a far more undignified manner than he left it.
~~~
His face is hot when he pulls the beer away from his mouth, a rising sense of panic fluttering in his chest. He has thought these things, known them, of course, but it feels so different now because Dean will know. He is going to look at Castiel and know exactly how he feels, what he thinks. That is...distressing.
Perhaps Dean will avoid it. He is very good at doing those things. When faced with something he simply doesn't want to acknowledge, that's his first method of handling the situation, and Castiel is sure that it will go this way again. He is banking on it, in fact.
It will be fine. He has Jack. Sam will be here, a welcome presence and a perfect buffer.
It's all going to be fine.

Summary
A startled laugh escapes Michael, and he gently pushes against Ashton’s chest, though his hand lingers as if for a moment he considers holding Ashton in place instead. “You’re lame. And you’re not kissing me like that in front of your friends. I’m a respectable fake boyfriend, I don’t believe in gratuitous PDA.”

Summary
So, the first thing that happens is Castiel comes back.
~~~
"Right," Dean says eventually, gruffly. He looks down at his shoes. "I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, man. It's—you know, yours. Do your thing, love who you love, whatever. I can't really stop you from loving me, if that's what you've decided to do, but I don't—I can't—"
"I know," Castiel murmurs, still just smiling a little, not looking heartbroken at all. "Don't worry about it, Dean, that's all I ask."
"So we're—" Dean risks a glance up, swallowing thickly. "We're good?"
Castiel hums. "We're good."

Summary
Dean lands himself in the open chasm that is YouTube and stumbles across one of those Self-Help Inspirational videos. It's all bullshit, he knows this, but... why is it working?
*
“So… you're being honest, giving and accepting love, and facing your fears,” Cas lists off carefully.
“I'm tryin’,” Dean says, because he really is.

Summary
“What the fuck is this?”
It’s pretty much Luke’s first full spoken-in-person-sentence to Calum in months.
It’s his first sentence to Calum in months, and he’s yelling it in the middle of his driveway at seven in the morning, while a dog yelps back at him from down the street. It’s perfect.
“I thought you said you wanted iced coffee,” Calum replies defensively, consciously diverting his eyes away from Luke’s face because it’s the only way he can be sure he’s not staring. He needs to act normal, but he can’t remember exactly what acting normal around Luke actually entails. Probably not constantly shifting his eyes around like he’s possessed. He forces his eyes back to Luke’s face before Luke goes off in search of a priest skilled in exorcisms.

“Anyway,” Calum says, “I’ve been thinking about it, and I wanted to talk to you about it, because I kinda think it would be a really good idea for us to fuck each other.”
Luke chokes on his water.
Calum slaps him on the back a few times, even though Luke has told him over and over that doesn’t do anything to help.

carrot correspondence by galacticsugar, kaleidoscopeminds

Summary
His eyes. Calum is losing seconds if not weeks looking at them. They’re a little heavy and a lot hazy, framed with such ridiculously long lashes, and they glitter and shine at Calum as he pauses, with his lips already half turned up like he’s prepared to be delighted at any of Calum’s answers.
Calum entertains an errant passing thought about whether the bride would be willing to go for a gold glitter dusting on top of the piped flower design for the godforsaken carrot cake and—
The fucking carrot cake. Fuck.

Summary
Calum loves his job.
Travelling so often is just a side effect of his job, and of the promotion he’d been given almost six months ago. One perk of all the back-and-forth he does in order to keep his fancy new title of Senior Project Manager of Copyright & Publishing is: Luke.
Luke is a flight attendant who works for United Airlines. When Calum’s lucky, he’s a flight attendant on the flight Calum is on, to wherever his next hotel room turned conference room is located. He’s been lucky more often than not lately, because Luke has been on every flight that Calum has been on for the past eight weeks.

Summary
Every morning that week, Calum goes back to the bakery, collects his lemon bar, and sets up on the terrace with his laptop.
And every morning that week, he sees the tall guy with off duty model vibes, right around the same time, always carrying his iced coffee, always wearing a leather jacket. Since he’s all the way across the street, Calum doesn’t really get a good look at him beyond basic shapes, so the off duty model thing is based entirely on his build and the fact that he looks sort of effortlessly put together with his leather jacket and casual sneakers.
That’s probably why Calum waves like a maniac and blurts, “Hey buddy!” when he comes face to face with the guy when he’s in line for his lemon bar the following Monday morning.
***
Calum needs an idea for his podcast, and the hot tiktok baker who needs a recipe tester might be the answer.
