Happy Mpreg Monday

[indecentpause]

from at the back of his throat formerly known as press start

The O is a fluorescent fever dream that smells like cheap vodka and sweat, bass pumping through the walls like a heartbeat. Sticky floor that could have once been purple sways under Rem’s feet, the ceiling glows with strobe lights and disco balls ricocheting colors onto the walls. Jonah’s laughing beside him, arm hooked around Rem’s, and his eyes are wide and shining and fuck if this isn’t the most beautiful he’s ever been.

later on, the case is solved by Sherlock realizing that the killer would necessarily have certain highly-developed muscles near their acetabulofemoral joints that were emblematic only of dancers and similar athletes.  "in other words,“ sherlock said triumphantly as he confronted the guilty party, "your hips don’t lie.”

A Playlist for Frankie (from Sheraton Academy

[Josselin] started when a pair of fingers snapped in front of his nose. “Josselin! Hello?” He smiled, although it was a little sad. “Sorry.” She leaned closer and dropped her voice. “That’s Meara?” Josselin nodded. Frankie grinned. “He’s even cuter than the picture you sent! Man, no wonder you have a crush.” Josselin took a sip of his coffee, marring the foam drawing. Frankie slurped up some of her mocha through her bright yellow straw and said, “Are you going to do anything about it?” “I don’t know,” Josselin said. “That’s weird, right? Like, I’m a regular customer. What if he says no? I’ll never be able to come back again!” “No, you’ll just have to come back in the evenings when someone else is on shift,” she said. She waggled her eyebrows. “Come on, how else will you know if you don’t give it a shot? He could be your soulmate!” “How do you know you’re not my soulmate?” Frankie laughed, bright and brash and beautiful. “I’m the world’s soulmate, Josselin.”

The Case of the Upset Laundry

Meara's been working hard these past few weeks, so when he comes home to his clean laundry unfolded all over the floor, multiple times, he has to have a talk with Josselin about boundaries. But Josselin doesn't know what Meara's talking about. He insists he hasn't gone into Meara's room at any time without permission. So what's going on with the laundry, then?

A short fluffy bit that takes place after the main story. :)

Footprints Through the Rosemary

After Alex’s suicide, Riley falls into a pattern of self-destruction that peppers his depression with brief moments of artificial sunshine. He doesn’t talk about his past, even to his friends, his brother, his on again off again boyfriend (maybe, maybe not; he can’t do that to Alex so fast).

But the thing about trauma is that it refuses to be ignored.

The Most Beautiful Puzzle

Meara’s life has been one disappointment after another, and he’s not expecting his new roommate situation to be anything but, either. But he needs to get out of the city and needs a room, and Josselin seems nice enough and has a bed to spare.

But Josselin ends up being more than just a freelance translator, eccentric book hoarder, and taxidermy enthusiast, he’s also a consulting detective; the one the police come to when they just can’t crack a case. Meara accidentally gets swooped up in one such situation.

It’s the most excitement and fun he’s ever had in his entire life. He’s hooked. A Sheraton Academy AU.

Contemporary. M/M and M/F with one gay male lead and one bisexual male lead in a Polyamorous Vee.

In the Basement, In the Sky: A Playlist

Jen is trying his best, okay? His best is just... never good enough. His boyfriend thinks he's cheating, his ex-girlfriend wants him back more than anything, and they're all terrible at laying down boundaries, so all that results in is a world of heartache and hurt for everyone. He suffers from depression and ADHD that he medicates with street drugs, which only makes everything worse, and with every step up the ladder he has to climb to get to the top, he slides back ten more rungs. But at least once you hit rock bottom you don't have anywhere to go but up.

Since Feeling Is First

It was a summer day like any other when Skylar lost zir arm to the accident. It was a summer day like any other when Audrey developed PTSD. And every day after that of the autumn, winter, and spring was a day like any other, too: except to two teenagers, whose lives would never be the same.

YA Drama. NB/F with nonbinary and trans woman leads.

And Never the Twain Shall Meet

It’s unfair to say Heath’s life has gone to shit, because it’s pretty much been shit since the day he was born. His abusive father left when he was young, and his mother and brother have never ‘forgiven’ him (because, of course, they say it’s his fault). With no support at home or school, Heath turns to the other outcasts in his neighborhood: stoners, drug dealers, dropouts, burnouts, ravers, goths, and everyone else that doesn’t quite fit in with their respective groups.

But then, one day, after being reported a runaway, Heath is arrested. He suffers a mental break at the thought of going home, but, luckily, he’s a young white boy, so rather than locking him up, the cops bring in a trained psychiatrist to evaluate him, and she realizes: Heath isn’t an asshole kid, he’s acting out because he’s suffering. He clearly has PTSD and potentially the sprouts of antisocial personality disorder, and there are lots of other maybes that need to be checked out.

So Heath is taken away from his family and put in a residential treatment center. And even though the kids here are weird and different from the ones he usually hangs out with, maybe he can finally make a connection with someone, for the first time in his life. YA Period Drama. Gen.
