Summary
Andrew squeezes his shoulder again. “Can you stand?”
Ilia’s face twists, breathing jagged. “I don’t know,” he admits honestly. “Don’t let go of me.”
“I wasn’t going to,” he reassures him, hand caressing along the cheap mesh fabric. “I’ve got you. I’m here.”
Ilia grabs on tighter, terrified to fall. “Don’t go to Florida. Come home with me.”
~~~
The Final Night of Stars on Ice is always a sad time -- but Ilia isn't sure he can survive without Andrew by his side. 800 miles is a hell of a lot for a boy in love. -

Summary
“I’m sorry.” He shifts uncomfortably, staring at his lap as he blinks hard, praying no tears will fall. Any second now Misha is going to ask him to leave, tell him he’s too much and yet still not enough.
A warm hand settles on Ilia’s cheek. “I’m fine,” Misha repeats softly. “I’m ready if you are?” He poses it like a question, as if the choice is Ilia’s to make. Ilia doesn’t know how he feels about that. All he knows is his chest still aches and he’s scared he’s going to cry again if he looks at Misha any longer.
~~~~~~
Ilia feels utterly shattered after the Olympic Free. Misha's kisses may be the only thing putting him back together.Series

Summary
He can’t hold in his laugh this time. “You’re adorable.” Hot Australian announces, like it’s a fact. Like he hasn’t just shifted George’s entire world on its axis. Like George isn’t half a second away from asking Hot Australian if he wants to be Kimi’s second father.
“I should. Um.” He gulps, jerking his thumb towards the parking lot, painfully aware of all his blood rushing south at speeds he’s pretty sure are medically unsafe. “Go. Yeah.”---
Finding love as a single dad was never one of George's priorities. His family consists of him and Kimi and nobody else, and thats how he likes it, thank you very much. But when a hot new camp counsellor comes careening into their lives, full speed ahead, George finds that being a dad is even better with someone he loves in the passenger seat.

Summary
Ilia wants to cry. He wants to kiss him. He wants to gather him in his arms and hold him until the sun rises. He wants to run away.
All Ilia has ever wanted was to win. It was what he was born to do, the only thing he was good for in this world. And he hadn’t. He had lost. No matter what he does in the future, he will have always lost here, today. The most important skate of his life.
~~~
Ilia has never felt worse than he does after his failed free. Misha is there to pull him back from the ledge.Series

Summary
“This is Wooyoung, he’s my best friend.” San turns to Wooyoung, leaning in far closer than he would while sober and grabbing Wooyoung by the shoulders. They’re basically the same height so it’s oddly jarring to suddenly be so close, noses almost touching. “You know that, right?” San says seriously.
“Uh, yeah,” Wooyoung says. His tongue feels heavy, the words not quite slurred but not quite clear. The world has gone fuzzy around the edges, San’s face is the only thing in focus.
“My best friend. I love you so much, dude. Seriously. I love you, man. I love you.”

Summary
Over the centuries, there developed in the Circle of Magi a tradition of showing affection, regard and intent through the giving of small, practical trinkets. It became a way to dodge any suspicion from the Circle authorities--who could object to the gift of some paper, or a single coin?
In which Fenris is a practical elf, and accidentally tells Anders through tokens that he likes him VERY MUCH. But (at first) Fenris has no idea, and Anders is daily more baffled and suspicious. As seen on Tumblr, and now with lovely art by AO3 user Prudabaga.

Summary
Sky lives by one rule: Alphas are assholes. It’s that simple. And Sky isn’t ever going to be the demure, subservient omega he’s expected to be… never again. That worldview is turned upside down when Prapai steps into the picture – or more accurately, saves Sky’s ass. He’s everything Sky expects – pushy, cocky, arrogant – and everything he doesn’t – genuine, forthright, kind. Sky doesn’t know what to make of him and can’t seem to escape him. And then there’s that small matter of biology…
