Summary
The grimoire in his hands grows heavy, the power slowly seeping back into the pages; Loki sets it aside and walks up to the circle, looking Barton in the eye. “I have need of you,” he says softly.
And so begins the Noble Hawkeye's guest to restore the Son of Coul to life. But the path of true love - nor redemption - never did run smooth.
(aka: the most late entry to a RBB in history of RBBs)

“It’s just…as soon as I’m done and you have to go home…I’m right back out there again, begging for spare change in the cold. I never should have followed you in here; it will just make it harder to go back.”

Summary
“John – John? Wake up.”
John peels his eyelids apart and lifts his head from where it had settled between the car’s headrest and the rattling window with a groan. It takes him a moment to realise that the window isn’t rattling anymore, and then he nearly pitches out headfirst when Sherlock opens his door without warning.
“John, come on!”
When had they pulled over? When had Sherlock gotten out of the car?
“Urhhhh,” John says, rather eloquently, he feels, undoing his seatbelt. After two botched attempts, he manages to make his hands coordinate to push the release button and pull the strap in a useful way, and then he’s finally stumbling out of the car, his feet sinking – sinking? – into –
“Sand?”

Summary
Louis had thought about boyfriends, no doubt. He’d rather like to have one, truthfully, but his schedule doesn’t really allow for the commitment and closeness required to establish anything, particularly because of his tendency for getting wrapped up in his boyfriends and devoting himself to love and romance and relationships. And dating around is not feasible for him due to not being out.
Three hundred and thirty pounds for an hour is doable, though.
What he gets is a charming, beautiful man who is far more kind than Louis feels he deserves which means a lot of terrible feelings, heartaches, and the beginnings of something taking root in Louis’ chest where he can’t imagine a life without Nick Grimshaw, even if Louis has to pay him for it.

Summary
Enjolras frowned, pulling the brunet into his arms, their faces were so close, Grantaire could count all Enjolras’ freckles and eyelashes “Because you mean a lot to me R, like a crazy lot, like I think I might- I don’t want you to be sad because I think I might-“
“Think you might?” Grantaire raised his eyebrows, ignoring the way his heart was imitating an over dramatic car chase in his chest. He focused on breathing and on Enjolras. On the uncharacteristic nervousness, the way he breathed deeper, the tremble to his hands, look in his eyes.
“Think I might care about you a lot.” Enjolras settled on, eyes closing temporarily.

Stiles is five years younger than Derek. They grow up together, pining after one another, but never admitting to it.
Derek is a werewolf, which means he has a soulmate. It's common knowledge now, but it used to be well hidden.

They watch their children awkwardly hide their infatuation for each other as they grow up and stumble through life together.
Or
5 year age gap. Protective Derek. Clingy friends. Friends to lovers. Soulmates. Nobody dies. Hale and Stilinski families are super close and cute. Fluffy and eventually smutty.

Summary
Stiles is used to selling himself to make ends meet. But it's getting harder to keep those ends meeting, and there's only so much of Stiles to go around. Until a too-fancy car shows up in his neighborhood, and he meets Derek Hale.
All Derek wants is Stiles's time, someone to stay on his arm for events and smile for the cameras. It's the easiest job Stiles has ever had, the best-paying one he's ever had, and he's more than happy to sign up.
Derek is everything and nothing Stiles expects him to be, with his tailored suits, sharp mind and his quiet way of caring. But it's just a job and Stiles never meant to fall in love.
