Summary
He was absolutely gorgeous. He was even taller than I had originally thought, looking ridiculously attractive with a smirk on his face and a crazy mess of brown hair on his head. He had on a red flannel paired with destroyed black skinny jeans and biker boots and I know right away that this is the type of boy i should stay away from. His eyes are relaxed, staring hungrily at something with obvious lust in his eyes.
His dark and dangerous aura is striking and I immediately want to look away, but his gaze holds mine. He slowly mouths the words, “Come here.” And I look around and behind me to see who he’s talking to, but there’s no one else paying attention. When I look back at him, he’s smirking, a glint of humor dashing through his eyes. “Yeah, you.” He mouths, and I’m pretty sure he means me.
I can honestly say that I didn't know what I was getting into when I decided to hang out with my brother's old Fraternity friends.

Summary
Derek looked like the stuff of his deepest fantasies. His shirt was rumpled where Stiles had his hands in it, and he was breathing hard as well, chest heaving. His eyes—his eyes were glazed over and he looked stunned, like he’d been—like Stiles had—
“No,” Stiles said, blood draining from his face. The word was croaky and felt like it had to be wrenched out of his chest. “God, no.”

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic is fantastic. It deals realistically with each character's shortcomings and addresses the root of their miscommunications and disagreements in a way that many others sweep under the rug, and there are moments in the fic where the characters say things that sort of just up and punch you in the heart, because those moments are set up so well that the words mean so much more than in the immediate context of the scenes.
But despite all the angst and doubt and mistrust and self-loathing, at heart this is a story about two people coming together in spite of all obstacles, learning to let down their guard around each other and connect and form lasting bonds. It's a story about love.

Summary
Jungkook really didn't want to be here.
Not when he was supposed to be helping his father with the pack and training to be the strongest Alpha ever.
How was enrolling him and Yugyeom in some werewolf academy/University/whatever shit it was, going to ‘help him grow’ as his father had told him?
Jungkook was sure that that was a code for him ‘to get laid and enjoy life a bit’, since his old man always insisted that he should find himself a ‘cute little Omega to fuck’.
That perv.
Now, instead of fighting potential enemies, Jungkook was stuck in this shitty place, fending off horny Omegas, dealing with their pathetic jealous Alpha boyfriends while constantly running into that broad-shouldered Beta with intriguing eyes, who did nothing, but infuriate him most of the time.

Summary
Here in the South Downs cottage, Crowley has more than he ever thought he would: the two of them, safe, and he gets to live alongside Aziraphale every day. He still can't bring himself to say it, though, still finds himself wanting, doesn't want to drag the angel down with the mess of his love, doesn't want to ruin what they have.
Aziraphale, however, is getting tired of Crowley staring longingly off into the night sky, and confronts him.
There is more of a balance here than Crowley thought.
***
The angel smiles. That crinkling kindness, that laugh in the corner of him, bright and deathless and pure, and Crowley’s resolve is melting. Aziraphale does remove his glasses now, fingers brushing his temples, folds them into his own pocket, pocketing Crowley’s last defense. Neither of them looks away. The night sounds clutter around them, the sway of elderly oak branches, the gentle scuttle of a village turning itself into bed, reinventing for the next day, the caw and croon of things with feathers, searching for love. A knowing hum in an ancient throat, leaning in.

“What are they?”
“Things,” the boy says, cocking his head slightly to the side. “Dangerous things.”
Mark swallows. His heart hasn’t slowed, like it knows more than his mind, his eyes. “And what are you?”
The boy smiles. It’s a childish expression, young and unpracticed, but so pretty it hurts to look at, made for stronger eyes, a stronger being. “What am I?”
Mark asks again. “What are you?”
“A thing,” the boy says. “A dangerous thing.”

“I would like to have your bite,” he says with determination, meeting Yoongi’s gaze.
Yoongi, on the other hand, can only stare, wide-eyed, unable to make sense of the words.
A shadow of uncertainty flickers across Namjoon’s open face.
“I know it is not how things are done among yangban,” he acknowledges. “But… I do not wish for our bond to be one-sided. You are not my property - you are my mate. And I want everyone to see it with their own eyes.”
It is a promise. A vow to never take another lover, to be faithful to Yoongi and respect their marriage. To not be parted from him, to the best of his abilities.

Bookmarker's Notes
Very good story (well, I didn't read Part 8 because it's a sad AU of the rest of the story where nothing goes right).
I read this in 2 days, so that tells ya something. It's much more domestic/slowburn than it is action/danger/conflict kind of thing. But them slowly learning to parent, to live together, to trust each other, that's nice. Roy turns out to be a little emotionally immature, so he gets to grow up alongside Ed, making them more peers than their ages would suggest.
Series follows them for 13 years.
Author's Note sums it up: ..."Instead of mindless kidfic indulgence this somehow became a story about Roy and Edward growing up and still being stupid kids together. But most of all it was about them finding a home in each other by trying to give Alphonse one."
