Summary
Harry hates Mondays.
When he gets on the bus, the only reasonable seat choice is by a boy with brown hair, listening to his music and drowning out everything else around him.
Harry walks over to the seat and the boy looks up when he sees someone standing off to the side. He has black rectangular glasses and Harry can spot multiple piercings on his face. There’s an eyebrow piercing (two silver barbells in the left eyebrow right next to each other) and a Marilyn Monroe piercing. His short brown hair framed his face nicely and Harry could spot a ear gage in each ear the size of his pinky with two other studs in the left ear lobe and the right boasting three others.
“Can I sit here?” Harry asks...

Summary
At fifteen, Lydia is being forced to choose her fiance, a man she will marry once she is twenty. To become the perfect example for her siblings to follow unless her brother willingly chooses to head the family. Enter Peter who meets her at a local shop, perusing possible selections for his next meal. Instead he finds Lydia charming and rather interesting, a woman who corrects men on their knowledge, how her face would tighten and fall into a facsimile of a smile when she was called insolent or belittled. Hearing her problem, he offers her a choice: die at his hand, run away with him & join his lifestyle or stay and become the little doll they want.

Summary
Physical Therapy student Darcy Ward had never wanted anything more than to have her own therapy business after graduation. That was all before a fox turned into a naked woman in her bathroom. Although, she was still pretty keen on that whole owning her own business thing regardless. It's funny the way fate intervenes. -- In which Hiei and Kurama are forced to play tourist, Darcy and fox-friend Sierra believe in lust at first sight, and everyone cries before the story is over. Sometimes you get a little bit of everything.

Harry is a lawyer. Louis is a Louis that is 'in between jobs.' Louis actually has a job, he just doesn't really tell people it, because what's the point?
If you read my old 'Daddy' before this one, I guarantee that this one is better than the first one. I didn't like the first one at all, which is why I deleted it. This one is actually good and I'm proud of it so far. Also, this is set in America. :)

Summary
Wei Ying has a lot on his plate right now.
It’s finals week -- which isn’t so bad. He’s never had to study much to do well in classes. But that just means that things are that much more tense with Jiang Cheng, who, as far as Wei Ying can tell, only takes study breaks long enough to glare at Wei Ying where he sits on the couch playing video games.
It’s not studies that have Wei Ying stressed out. It’s everything else. It’s the recruitment for the research trial he’s coordinating. It’s jiejie and her impending marriage to His Royal Douchebag Jin Zixuan. It’s the volunteer work at the palliative care facility. It’s Wen Ning’s worsening condition. It’s Wen Qing working herself thin to care for her brother and Wen Yuan. It’s the way Wen Yuan never seems to have enough food.
So, yeah. There’s enough on Wei Ying’s plate already, meaning it’s not entirely welcome when he comes home and finds a man standing in his bedroom. A man in extravagant white robes, a ribbon tied around his forehead, long hair gathered into a topknot, fist clutching a sword at his side, who asks him, “Where am I?”

Bookmarker's Notes
*Wei Ying tells himself, there’s no way that he has done something as stupid as fallen for a time-travelling, dimension-hopping wizard in just two weeks of acquaintance. It’s unthinkable. Wei Ying might be stupid, but even he’s not that stupid.*
Narrator's voice: Wei Ying apparently IS that stupid.
... This is an epic story in which canon lwj appears in a modern wwx's room one night. Wwx is a down-on-his-luck college student slipping into even harder times and intrigue, but he's got a heart of gold and immediately sets about helping this strange (and very attractive) wizard. (He can fly, omg!!!) The story's focus is on both their growing relationship (oh, the tension! the slow burn!) and on the mysteries that keep being revealed in both worlds, like tips of icebergs.
Author notes that this is not a fix it, which is probably to prepare you for copious amounts of angst and bad choices and misunderstandings (although at least no one is dead for 13 years!). A whole new story, with dimension travel and a strategically striking qi-stealing illness is cleverly woven in with plot points from canon to create something both recognizable and fresh.

Summary
Lan Zhan is glaring at him. That's probably fair.
The last time they'd seen each other, Wei Ying had been digging through Lan Zhan's garbage. They'd made eye contact over the shredded bags, the week's trash scattered around him like stinky, oversized Lego.
Lan Zhan's eyes had been wide with horror, and Wei Ying's had been equally wide with feigned innocence. He'd reached out slowly, maintaining the eye contact, and then flipped over the food waste bin full of onion peel and carrot skin as a distraction and slunk off into the night. Probably not his finest moment.

by defractum (nyargles)
Wangxianficrecs post here. (Archived.)Well, now, this was a hoot and a ride. I loved it.
***
There are teeny tiny alarm bells going off in the back of Wei Ying's brain, and the longer he stands there, the more of them start ringing. Like a little cacophonous orchestra of miniature alarm bells. A veritable army of them. A whole ocean of fucking alarm bells jangling merrily away.
Because – because all this time, Wei Ying had thought that this was just a fun game. A quirky weird thing that he and Lan Zhan did, fucked with each other on the lunar moons and ignored each other for the rest of the time. Lan Zhan fed him an obscene amount of chicken and got him high, and Wei Ying destroyed his trash. Just you know, two relative strangers engaging in mutually petty and weird behaviour for shits and giggles.

Kenma is the self-proclaimed 'high school loser' who despises all that his high school has to offer, most notably popular jock Tetsurou Kuroo. However, when Tetsurou gets assigned as his chemistry tutor, he might have to reconsider all of his assumptions.If Kenma thought about every single thing he hated about the people in his school and tied it up in one tidy package with a bow on top, he’s pretty sure it would result in Tetsurou Kuroo.

“Jimin,” Taehyung says. He doesn’t want to think about what his face is doing, whether or not it shows that his heart is breaking all over again.
“Hey Tae,” Jimin says weakly. “Long time no see.”
“You guys know each other?” Namjoon asks.
Jimin opens his mouth to answer, and Taehyung really doesn’t want to know what he’s going to say, so he cuts him off. “We knew each other in high school.”
