Summary
It's 1975 in the UK. While it's no longer illegal to be gay that doesn't necessarily make it okay.
According to parents and friends, Derek Landon is destined to be School Captain and family champion. Derek wants to achieve all that but he also wants to get close to the most notorious homosexual punk in the year below and that becomes his priority.
Archie Tanner, known as Weazl to members of his gang and fans of his band Arse, has no problem accepting Derek's advances even though he knows Derek isn't out. That begins to cause friction as their relationship becomes more serious.
Then there's Derek's best friend Jonathon, who Derek begins to notice is also rather dishy. Jonathon seems to be up to his armpits in potential girlfriends and is becoming far more out going around Weazl's gang while Derek isn't game to talk to his boyfriend in public. Derek is too busy seducing his punk to delve deeply enough into Jonathon's problems (which he suspects include drug use) which he will come to regret when he is publicly outed in front of his friends and finds himself without Jonathon's support.
Romance shattered, Derek drops out of school and forges ahead as he seeks redemption. Jonathon helps him find it.Series

Summary
A series of vignettes set in the UK between 1935 and 1972.
Robert Gordon is 19 when he realises he loves his best friend Vincent. Overhearing Vincent with another man causes him to flee the university housing they share because everything he's feeling is completely wrong. Robert hides his sexuality behind a conservative marriage and political career. Once homosexuality between males is no longer illegal he sees two young men kissing in the rain. He remembers every tender feeling toward Vincent and begins to visit a gay support centre known as The Peacock, only to have his attendance witnessed by a member of the tabloid press.
The effects of decades of despair and self-deceit prompts a young teenager working at The Peacock's gift shop to live loud and proud--and thus we discover Weazl, hero of The Weazl Paradox series.Series

Summary
It was Albus's turn. Scorpius squeezed his damp hand in encouragement. He stood up, looking self-conscious and defensive.
"Er - my name is Albus Potter. I'm gay. My pronouns are he/him, I guess." He belatedly remembered to sign the words for his cousin's benefit, moving his hands awkwardly.
He sat back down, face red, as everyone chanted, "Hi, Albus!"
Scorpius was last. He stood up. This was not so bad, coming out in front of fewer than a dozen people. It had been much scarier to stand on the Slytherin table the week before and declare Albus his boyfriend in front of the whole school. Still, he could not help feeling a little nervous.
"Hi. Dictatus. My name is Scorpius Malfoy. I'm bisexual. My pronouns are he/him. And - um - I just wanted to say, thanks for inviting us."

"Do we have any wild horses"? Ransom asked.
"No," said Shitty, "and if we did it would be cruelty to dumb animals."
So, if Jack Zimmermann graduated from Samwell in May 2015, he most likely started there in the fall of 2011. You know who was cruising Boston-area college parties about that time, looking for young women foolish enough to jump his bones when presented with a seriously lame pick-up line? Tyler Seguin, that’s who.
So did he show up at an early Epikegster? And if he did, what happened?

Summary
The Doctor is still cooking. How are they supposed to know what they'll end up like when the egg timer goes off?
“Cool name, Doctor, I’m Sam, that’s Chase, that’s Tami, and over there is Jo. No pressure but, do you want to tell us a bit about yourself?” Sam asked in a soft voice that warred with the loud symbol crash of her mind. It was bright and angry and happy and terrified all at once. The Doctor felt/heard the young woman’s terror and curiosity about them. Would this Doctor person be like a bomb going off in Sam’s little world? Would this Doctor person destroy all the work Sam put into making this a Safe Space? Not on purpose. No matter the chaos and noise and hurt in this room the Doctor rarely set out to destroy things.
“Still trying to figure that out, Sam.”

Summary
Before there was an Earth and before there was a Garden, there was a Library. A library full of every book, novel, bedtime story and Victoria Sponge recipe that would ever come into being. They will exist, therefore they do exist, and therefore they need to be Kept. For that job one would need a Keeper, and not just any Keeper - Crowley has an exact Keeper in mind. A small, quiet Keeper who borrows books from the Library and secrets them back to his room at night, who forgets what he's meant to be doing and spends his days sitting on the floor with a stack in front of him and his wings getting dusty as he turns pages.
Crowley watches and he yearns. What starts as a means to spy on his fellow angel results in a delightful friendship full of small literary adventures, golden hour picnics, secret attic spaces, and a deep and profound attachment to one and other.

I started this as a way to provide some comfort for myself, imagining how these two would interact with some of my favourite books and children's stories. I hope others find it comforting too. -

Summary
To Iida Tenya, the world is as simple as black and white. There are standards to follow, rules to obey, laws to keep people in check, and heroes to keep laws in play. There are also the rule-breakers, the delinquents, the vigilantes, the criminals, the villains.
And Tenya? Well, Tenya would like to think that he’s in the gray – and it’s such a funny thing, isn’t it, that for someone who views the world as black and white, there should be no such thing as gray, but there is.

Summary
International cricketer and devout Muslim Qusay Rafat never expected to find himself hoping that another man is gay rather than wishing he wasn't. In 2010, he meets Dane Sanders (featured in Retrofit and Hesitate) and begins wondering how to reconcile his sexuality with his faith in a world fraught with acts of terrorism.
Interracial gay partnerships are nothing new to Dane. Discretion is less familiar. The lingering sting of a failed relationship doesn't stop Dane choosing life with Qusay.Series

Summary
I tagged it as underage because the time between Stiles and Derek when Stiles is underage is mentioned, although nothing sexual or really romantic happens, just Derek being a good friend. I tagged it anyways, just in case some people don't want to read that.
Stiles Stilinski has ADHD; because of this ADHD he stims, he only feels safe displaying his more obvious stims around certain people. The number one person on that list of certain people is Derek Hale. Based on this tweet by me: https:// /RayTotoro/status/1429289834456223748?s=20
