Fandom: The Raven Cycle Rating: E Relationships: Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch Additional Tags: Pining, misunderstandings,  Summary:

He blinked and, behind the boat shoes and tan ankles, Adam's face grew into sharp focus.

He was looking straight at Ronan.

His eyes were round, shocked into complete stillness. His cheeks were pink. One hand curled around grass, and Ronan watched, with a slow dawning of awareness, the way Adam's knuckles grew white as he tightened his hold on the ground.

Cabeswater, Ronan realized. Cabeswater had taken his dream and shared it with the only other person who could ever be close enough to Cabeswater to see it.

Moderator’s Comments: I thought Adam’s characterization was great in this. Also, gotta love the ingenuity of Adam seeing Ronan’s dirty secrets through Cabeswater. Sweet ending.

Relationship: Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles

Additional tags: Florist!Jared, Tattoo Artist!Jensen, Enemies to friends to lovers (kind of)

Summary: This is your typical guy-meets-guy story, except, well, maybe it isn’t. When jaded-tattoo artist Jensen moved to Nelsonville, a small but charming town in Indiana, to open his own tattoo parlor he hoped for many things. Falling in love was not one of them, however. A few years down the road he seemed to have achieved quite a bit - a successful business, good (and very unique) friends, and a content, if a bit quiet, life. That’s where Jared comes in. He buys the deserted shop next to Jensen’s (and converts it into a flower shop of all things) as well as the apartment above it, making them neighbors in every sense. Jared quickly takes the hearts of Jensen’s friends by storm and Jensen finds his own is already on the line too, but he’s still fighting tooth and nail. When not even the matchmaking skills of their friends seem do anything to convince these stupid boys that they are perfect for each other, a blow of fate makes Jensen finally reconsider everything. But is Jensen really willing to let Jared in or will past hurts ruin his chance of ever being happy with another person? And what secrets is Jared hiding and just how much is that going to affect them all?

Moderator’s Comments:  I thought this was very sweet, though I'm not sure if I could picture Jensen as a tattoo artist or Jared as a florist…who cares, that's what AUs are about, amirite?

Fandom: Teen Wolf (TV) Rating: Mature Relationships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski Additional Tags: incubus, magic made them (almost) do it, Love Confessions, Misunderstandings, Minor Angst Summary:

“Derek… Incubus, remember? This isn’t… we aren’t…”

Derek cuts off his words with his mouth (it’s fucking effective, why hasn’t be been doing this since the day they’d met?) and breaks away again long enough to growl “I’ll send it a fruit basket later.”

The pack has to deal with an incubus. This was going to be a PWP but I'm a giant mushball so ended up being about feelings.

Moderator’s Comment:  I love pretend relationship fics so much, but add pining on top of that? I’m gone. Original idea, super hot execution.

Fandom: Supernatural Rating: T Relationships: Castiel/Dean Winchester Additional Tags: Godstiel - Cas as God, Alternate Universe - Future Summary:  A story of two parts, how a man became the lover of a god and how that terrified him.

Moderator’s Comments: I love a good dystopian universe and this has all of that.  There’s not a lot of interaction between Dean and Cas in the present time, but there’s something about this story that I just love.  I read it for the first time months ago and recently dug through every Godstiel fic on AO3 until I found it again, just so I could re-read it.

Fandom: Teen Wolf (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski Additional Tags: Tutoring, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Misunderstandings, Pining, Canon Summary:

“You never graduated,” Stiles says, just to say it. To test it out in the open air. That's... huh.

--

Stiles spends his senior year battling troll-gremlins, taking on an unexpected tutoring job, and definitely not falling for a certain sourwolf (even though everyone else seems to think he is).

Moderator’s Comments: Derek studying for his GRE sheepishly and throwing embarrassed fits every so once a while is gold. I also love this author’s characterization of Styles -- loving and devoted to Derek, but still snarky and sassy.

SUPERNATURAL, DESTIEL, PRETEND BOYFRIENDS!

Pet Names

Author: reillyblack

Rating: E

Category: M/M

Fandom: Supernatural

Relationship: Dean Winchester/Castiel

Tropes: Canon, Fake Relationship, Humor, Fluff, Finished, explicit, coming out, friends to lovers,  

Summary:

“You want me to… pretend to be your boyfriend.”

“Yeah.” Dean shrugged, going for intentionally nonchalant and crunching down on the delicious pesto pasta on the menu for the night.

“Dean, you’re not gay. I know that. Your ex-girlfriend sure as hell knows that. This is an idiotic idea,” Cas argued immediately.

“Wouldn’t it be great if she thought she, like, turned me gay though? That two-timing asshole,” Dean smiled just at the thought.

“That’s stupid,” Cas reiterated patiently, as though Dean was a child. “You can’t ‘turn gay’ anymore than I can ‘turn straight’. No, that’s stupid and insulting.”

Moderator’s Comments: I just so happened to write a fake relationship story last week so I can recommend this one off the top of my head :).

Fandom: Supernatural

Relationship: Dean/Aaron

Tropes: Coda, PWP, coming out, bi panic

Summary:

“What’s this?” Dean holds up the offending piece of paper and Aaron almost snatches it right back. Big dumb closeted weirdo, what the fuck does he think it is?

“It’s a phone number. You use it. To call people.” He says, slow and enunciated, and Dean’s mouth closes.

“Huh.” He says. “So – earlier –?”

“I was tailing you.” Aaron says, exasperated already. The big guy is flushing red, holding the paper as if it’s going to explode, between his thumb and pointer finger. “But you seemed interested, so.” He paused. “You’re Jewish, right?”

Dean stutters. Aaron rolls his eyes. “That was a joke. Call me. You know, if you ever talk again.” He turns and walks away from the car, hands in his pockets.

Moderator’s Comments: Wonderful bi coming out story for Dean. Solid writing. Dean is soft and thoughtful, and the experience is meaningful and not at all cringe-worthy. I hesitate to classify it as a bi “panic” story because Dean doesn’t panic, but he is a little startled and awkward about it.

Relationship: Castiel/Dean Winchester

Tropes: bi panic, friends to lovers

Summary: Dean gets creative in a prank war against Sam; Castiel is the unfortunate phone sex actor who has to deal with him. Neither has any idea how much trouble the other is about to cause him.

Moderator’s Comments: Love this fic and the author. Great suspense building, I was hooked from day one and counting the days until the next update. Also, quite in character for both Dean and Cas.

PAGE 004: KIT by ALINARPS // PREVIEW & DOWNLOAD

So this is my fourth page, and I haven’t done one in a while, so I decided to release an all-in-one navigation page! It’s taken me a long time to work out all the little bugs in it, so I’m actually really proud of the way it turned out!

All the sizes are in the code, and if not, the preview!

There are three clickable tabs that you can open and two links on the side. There is a tab for your navigation, characters, and a blogroll!

In the navigation, you have an unlimited space for links, one image, and a spot for admins! In the characters, you can have an unlimited amount of characters with a clickable read more that can open to the info about the character. However, if you need to add more, there are instructions in the code on how to add more if you need to. It might get slightly complicated, so if you need help I’ll be glad to. The blogroll tab doesn’t need to be edited! It will automatically start once you follow people who have posted.

This is primarily made for an RP, but you can always make it for an RPH and edit the tabs for your own use.

Please like or reblog this if you like it or use it? It’s a simple thing to do, but it lets me know if people like the theme or not! Also don’t steal or redistribute any part of this code or theme—since I worked very hard on this—no matter how big or small. Please keep the credits no matter what, even if you edit only for personal use (which is okay if you do)! If you want to edit a theme and want to post it, please contact me first!

If you need help with the HTML or if there are any problems, let me know! I’ll be glad to help you out.
