William is supposed to be flying home from Hong Kong tonight, but his flight has been delayed due to the storms currently raging over San Francisco. Rationally, Lizzie knows that everything will be fine. Airplanes are pretty safe, and William’s been on plenty of trips. Nothing has ever happened. So why is she so worried?
Oh yeah. Because it’s 2:17 in the morning and she’s alone in their large house that won’t stop creaking (aren't only old houses supposed to creak?), with a three year old girl that won’t stop crying out for her daddy. Oh, and she’s six months pregnant. That’s why.

Summary
After finalizing the divorce papers with Lori (and seriously, is this a trope unto its own), Rick moves into an apartment building in Atlanta to start his new life. He has to seriously wonder about his sanity though when he has to deal with his rather effeminately furnished living space, strange neighbors like the sweet couple who live down the hall with their college coed sister who can't seem to keep from jumping Rick whenever she sees him, the two lesbian lawyers on the top floor that want to make him the meat in their sandwich, the guy named Morgan who thinks he's Batman and the fascinating guy across the hall with the quick smile and riveting eyes named Daryl who has a brother that likes to answer the door naked.
Then again, maybe sanity is over-rated and this place is just what Rick needs.
Eventual Rickyl smut, somewhere down the road.

Bookmarker's Notes
So!
It starts out kind of slice of life-ish (just as all in-canon universe fics do) but then it grows an actual plot arc that, eventually, reaches a conclusion.
I really liked the way it's structured. The story doesn't become another "mutual pining without anything happening and then a happy ending" flick but actually becomes its own thing.That being said, this one is n o t super meaningful and heavy on utilising every storytelling tool in existence. It has a good solid message but it's also really concise in its execution. It's not a bad or good thing it's just the way this particular story flows.
Personally, I liked it. I enjoy more direct style of narrative without speaking exclusively in metaphors and allegories, so this one brought me joy.
It's angsty but in a not-depressing kind of way. I'd call it an "expected amount of struggle for one short story". It has its place and it makes sense.
Need I say more? I don't think so.
Please give this a read. -

Summary
"Stiles?" he asks, turning on the light, and Stiles looks at him- eyes wide, a flicker of utter devotion and heartbreaking joy passing his features before his whole face crumples and-
"Daddy?"
John has never seen his son like this, or maybe he has, when Claudia died, but it's different somehow, more, and terrifying because he has no idea why. He's closed half the distance between them before he even has time to think it through, but it doesn't matter because Stiles has bridged the rest and flung himself into John's arms.
He falls apart like that, holding onto John so tightly that it's hard to breathe, but he can't care about that right now because his son is sobbing and chanting "Daddy," desperately into his shoulder.
[Or, the one where Stiles goes back in time to save the world, and surprisingly, survives to tell the tale.]

Summary
“I saw them there and I wanted to know what they were. I thought they were maybe tea lights or something but there’s things written on them. Like middle school and other happy things. Do you collect things?”
“Memories,” Louis blurts out, hand so tight on Harry’s shoulder his fingers could bruise into him. But he needs something to hold onto in fear he may fall over and pass out if he doesn’t. “I collect memories.”
But the silence between them is unsettling. As each cold second passes, the thought of Harry shouting out loud that he’s a freak is doubling. The thought of Harry running away and never coming back to him again is tripling.
Until Harry speaks. “You have fifty mason jars sitting outside with memories inside them?”
or the high school au where louis believes he can hold memories inside mason jars to last a lifetime, and harry holds both louis and his unique tradition deep in his heart. otherwise known as the mason jar fic.

“Hi, I’m Stiles, and what I have for you today is…”
“Stop, just stop.” Grumpy Eyebrows interrupted. “That is honestly the worst looking Pasta Primavera I have ever seen. I don’t even want to eat it, it looks so bad.”
Stiles narrowed his eyes. No one insulted his creamy bacon carbonara without even trying it. And no one insulted his creamy bacon carbonara after they tried it either.
“It’s actually a Creamy Bacon Carbonara, asshole,” Stiles snapped. “And for the record, it’s supposed to look like that.”
Or the one where Stiles is a new sous chef at Full Moon Steakhouse and Derek is the Gordon Ramsay of all head chefs. So of course they fall in love.Series

Summary
Levi is a Russian immigrant in England working shifts at a factory by night and cleaning residentially by day. He is hired by Erwin and Eren, a married couple - to help clean their house.
Cue the hilarity that naturally ensues when you get a stranger who barely speaks English in to clean your house and they're way more thorough than you'd ever expected they would be...
Hide your porn, boys. Hide it well or it might turn back up alphabetised, date ordered and thoroughly disinfected.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is another really good threesome
Levi being russian with a russian accent is the best thing ever.
Their relationship is so good and realistic, i can actually feel the luv.Who's Erwin?” Better rip the plaster off now.
“He's my other boyfriend. Eren’s husband,” I tell them. I turn to Eren and smirk, switching back to English. “I don't tell them yet I have two boyfriend.”
“You what?” I hear Farlan saying, confused.
“Yeah we live in the same house. We sometimes fuck. Don't tell Ma.” I’ll let them think it over later but for now I'm calling for business. Eren feels a little awkward beside me but he's keeping his smile going.
I imagine if things don’t work out with these two, I can always apply the same technique to another relationship and see it work also. It’s a two way street and suddenly the prospect of holding onto these two forever doesn’t seem so necessary. Yes, I want to stay with them for as long as possible but I don’t fear either of them wanting to call it off. If that day comes, or if I decide I want a change, I’m confident I’ll be okay with it. They’ll be fine too, I know.
I glance back over to spot them doing squats and teasing each other, Eren in particular making old man jokes which Erwin takes in his stride. Eren can somehow make any insult sound endearing to either of us. Nile still calls me Dracula and I still call Nile Senor Pube.
“I think what Erwin meant to say is we love you and we want you to join our family for good,” Eren says, rolling his eyes at Erwin with a fond smile.
I'm nodding before words can come to me and I feel the wetness in my eyes when I blink as Eren hugs me. I’m quick to bury my face into his shoulder and I'm grinning when we part, eager to try the ring on.
We’ve had countless lazy moments where on a few occasions I'd try their rings on for grins and giggles so it's no surprise that this one fits perfectly. Three people can't exactly legally partner but the gesture means the world to me. Even Erwin offering if it, were something I wanted, they were okay with it means everything to me.
I’m quite content to stay as we are.
“So was that a yes?” Eren teases. I smack his shoulder and wipe my eyes.
“Yes you idiot.”
Thanks to these two I'm much more self confident now, especially regarding my apparent sexual prowess. I’d never have thought I was attractive, but several years with two doting morons loving the shit out of me has built my self worth immensely.
Not only am I lucky as fuck to have these two in my life, but they’re damn lucky to have me too.
