    Summary

    “…You want to?” he asks.

    Shane blinks. “What?”

    “Kiss someone.”

    The question makes Shane’s brain short circuit.

    Shane swallows. “I mean—yeah.”

    “Then why haven’t you?”

    “I don’t know.” Shane shrugs again, shoulders tight. “Timing. People. It’s just… not something I think about like that.”

    That’s not entirely true.

    He does think about it. Just in a different way. Abstractly. Like something other people do, but not he himself.

    Ilya watches him for a long moment.

    “I could show you.”

    Summary

    They have been sleeping together for weeks – seven? eight? – by the time it occurs to Tobias that he has never been to Gabin’s place.

    It seems silly to feel bothered by this realization, he thinks, because clearly it hasn’t bothered him all this time. If it had bothered him, he would have noticed, and he probably didn’t notice because in his head, it made perfect sense.

    Summary

    "Buck actually doesn't even know why he's here tonight. It had seemed fun at the start. Go with a friend, drink a bit, maybe get lucky. But, as he surveys the very shady and very much illegal fight club gathered around him, he has to wonder if this is really his scene or if he'd much rather stick to his seedy local bar and dating apps. At least there he knows what he’ll find and he’s ready for whatever gets thrown his way. Yea, it’s not the safest option for hookups but he knows this can’t be much better."

    Or, Buck 1.0 meets fight club era Eddie. That's it. That's the fic.

    Summary

    “Hiya,” the bloke said, leaning down to yell into Oliver’s ear.

    “Hey,” Oliver shouted back, trying to be heard over the music.

    “What ‘cha drinking?” the guy asked, voice a rich baritone.

    “Anything strong will do,” Oliver replied with an insincere smile. The surface resemblances to Felix were striking, from the height to the way this guy carried himself. But the hair was the wrong shade, his mouth too crooked, eyes too big, shoulders not broad enough, clothes too cheap. He looked like he had to try, put effort into his effortless style, the way he coiffed his hair, the way he was leaning casually into Oliver’s space, even the attempt at a charming twinkle in his eye. But Oliver had lost his rights to touch the original, the masterpiece, the true source of all that was beautiful and important, so the knock-off, this forgery that had so quickly found him would have to do.

    or after Oliver saves Felix from an overdose in the maze he finally allows himself to cut loose one night at Oxford with unexpected results

    Summary

    Clary's introduction to the Shadow World goes a little differently when she accidentally befriends Alec Lightwood thinking he's just a little odd and a petty criminal.

    Or: New Yorker Clary thinks Alec's Shadowhuntering is just par for the course in the city. They become...friends. The events of canon are altered slightly by this decision.

    -
    "Alec sighs deeply and downs the rest of his drink in one. He pulls a small dagger out of seemingly nowhere and places it on the table. It’s also covered with the same little tattoos.

    “Are you crazy?” Clary hisses, rushing to throw her cardigan over the weapon. “Do you want to get arrested?”"

    *

    "Shadowhunter training, she finds out a week later after arranging a time and date with Alec via text (which, weird, they have each other’s phone numbers now), consists mostly of her falling on her ass.

    Alec seems to take great pleasure in flipping her during staff training. His moves are quick and smooth, catching each of Clary’s blows with no trouble at all. Even his hair remains perfect and untouched."

    Summary

    "Good afternoon, will Christopher's other parent be joining us?"
    "No... no other parent." It comes out sadder than Eddie means it to.
    "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Relationship breakdowns between parents can often cause children to act out at school..."

    A misunderstanding makes Chris's teacher think Buck and Eddie are getting a divorce. But they aren't even together, so why would anybody think that? It's not like Buck drives Chris to school, cooks him dinner, helps him with homework, takes him to the zoo....

    Summary

    As Eddie lays on the hot pavement bleeding out, his eyes locked on Buck’s bloody face, his hand reaching out towards him, what washes over him isn’t his hard-earned stillness nor is it shock.

    It’s clarity, edging slowly into focus from off-stage.

    And when he wakes up in the hospital bed and registers a soft, slim hand in his, he thinks, "no, that’s not it".

    What he doesn't say is, "Hey, Buck, you know the girl you've been agonizing over for eight years? Well, here she is!"

    He might as well have.
