Summary
“I like your boring tea and boring diet and boring old-man sleeping schedule and boring dad rock.”
“Oh my god,” Noah doesn’t whine, but it’s a close thing. “You just said I wasn’t boring! Fuck you.”
/
James and Noah, through the years. The good and the bad, the quiet and the cold.

Summary
“I hate you,” Oli breathes without much heat, words thick and dripping around shaky little moans. “Always changing your fuckin’ mind. Don’t ever know what you—oh, god, fuck—really want.”

love and sunny days (a bit too old to run away) by lqbys

Summary
“You guys are blocking the way to the shower again. I won’t complain too much only because I do appreciate some cute bonding time between equally cute boys.”
Kevin probably takes bigger offense than Jean, but their reaction is the exact same: their heads snap simultaneously towards Jeremy, and, beat for beat they deny the observation in the same miffed breath, “we are not bonding.”

Summary
Jean got away.
It doesn’t feel like a world-shattering realization. It doesn’t feel like his heart is breaking to pieces and he’ll have to look for the missing shards for the rest of his life, hoping nobody else steps on them inadvertently and gets hurt. It doesn’t feel like much, except—
Jean got away then, and he’s going away now too. Kevin, drunk and foolish as ever, with his head spinning and over the sound of his friends’ happy laughter, pleads wordlessly wait.

Summary
“Wasn’t going to hurt ya,” the spawn reassures him in an almost perfectly genuine tone that'd fool just about anyone. “I just needed, well. Blood.”
“My blood,” Noah says with a quiet breath, eyes closing halfway.

Summary
Five weeks of losing at poker to Ghost. Five increasingly suspicious ‘favors.’ One Scottish demolitions expert who’s terrible at cards but excellent at denial. Ghost knows exactly what he’s doing. So does everyone else on base.

Summary
It’s last orders in Chicago. Urban ops are tough on the knees, but it beats dying in the desert—not that Simon would ever let Johnny go first or die thirsty.

Soap is physically affectionate by nature.
Ghost is not.
Johnny might just be rubbing off on him though.

A Treatise on Rhetorical Incompatibility (or, How to Build a Relationship Out of Excessive Adverbs and Poorly-Cited Passion) by the_untamed_poet25

Summary
“I don’t understand,” Kaveh says, pacing again, running a hand through his hair with a kind of wounded artistry that makes Alhaitham’s eyelid twitch. “You read all the same texts I did. You studied the same traditions. You know what the Sophists meant. You know about the agora. The gift economy. You know rhetoric isn’t just about manipulation—it’s about response. About risk.”
“I’m aware,” Alhaitham says. “I simply disagree.”
“With—what? The entire premise of interpersonal communication?”
“With the fetishization of indeterminacy,” Alhaitham says, adjusting his gloves. “With the idea that language must be excessive, emotional, endless. That clarity is somehow oppressive. That restraint is dishonesty. That the only ‘authentic’ utterance is the one that bleeds.”
“Oh,” Kaveh breathes, like he’s just been stabbed with a particularly pretentious dagger. “Oh, so now you’re anti-poetry.”
“I’m anti-delusion.”
“And yet you look in the mirror every morning.”
Or, how two men weaponize rhetorical praxis to avoid admitting they care.
