Jack was still not quite sure how Darling had managed to swing them a shared staircase with no one else on it for their final year. "Interlopers, my dear Jonathan," Darling had said, "are not to be borne in this, our collegiate idyll."

Summary
“You know you don’t have to do this,” Harris said as they walked from the car to the arena, Chiron prancing along in front of them.
“I’m doing it,” Troy said.
“Okay. But you don’t have to.”
“Harris. I’ll survive reading whatever weird, dirty tweets you found,” Troy argued. “You think I’ve never seen thirst tweets?”
In which the Centaurs read thirst tweets and it goes about how you'd expect.

your love is sunlight by kaydeefalls for Mary_berry_boo

Summary
The worst part is that Nicky knows he's too old for this shit. A summer romance—that all-consuming passion crashing over you like a tidal wave and lasting about as long—is one thing for a teenager. But he's much closer to thirty than twenty at this point. He should damn well know better.
Yet here he is, flat on his back in the late morning sunlight, his shoulders splayed halfway off the side of the bed, sheets rumpled beneath him and Joe's beard rough against the skin of his inner thighs, and it's the closest to God that Nicky has ever felt.
(Modern!AU. Nicky's a bartender in Cinque Terre, Joe's a tourist just passing through, they fall in love. Because of course they do.)

Summary
The last time di Genova and al-Kaysani met on the pitch, it infamously ended with a red card for al-Kaysani and a media firestorm for di Genova. “Will you be able to work together?”
Al-Kaysani toys with the handle of his coffee cup. “We’re all professionals,” he says eventually. “I’m excited to see what he’ll bring to the pitch.”
Or: Rival football players Joe al-Kaysani and Nicky di Genova learn to work together on the same team.

As it happened, Joe was straight; he just happened to be currently girlfriend-less. And just because you were straight didn’t mean you had to be a dick about this stuff. He could absolutely win this game. Nicky was going to be fighting all that Catholic guilt.

Summary
There is no difference between history and historiography, not the way humans experience it. They can extrapolate what could be missing, point out what definitively is, and the specific reasons why. But for most eons past, there is no way to ask someone who was there, or even read about it, assuming somebody bothered to write things down with all the necessary contextual details.
Which is to say, there are many times he will read accounts (usually written by people who weren’t even alive at the time) of what people thought happened during a particular event, and he will go, “That’s not how it went.”

Summary
Kamet is personally obsessed that when he called his local used bookstore to ask when they opened, the owner said "Usually it's eleven, but I'm in the middle of a lover's quarrel so today it's more like twelve."
Or: AITA for rejecting my partner's invitation to go camping?

Summary
“You’re back early,” Thaniel calls over his shoulder.
“Am I?” a low voice replies. Thaniel turns to see a man, very obviously not Keita, looking back at him with amusement tracing the laughter-lines by his eyes. He is definitely not Keita. Far too tall, although Thaniel is still taller. The man has hair that was likely once sandy-blond, although it’s gone grey with age. “I would have thought ten years is rather late for tea.”
--
Or: Thaniel meets Merrick.

from: [email protected]
to: [email protected]
subject: Re: what the heck spell checkCoach Lasso,
I can assure you that my transfer has nothing to do with your club's relegation, nor is there anything that Richmond has done in error. Rather, I have spoken with my editors and we’ve agreed that this is the most appropriate course of action.
I wish you all the best in the season.
