    Summary

    “Do you have any romantic bone in your body?” When he shook his head no, she exclaimed. “Once again, boring!”

    Having had enough, Schroeder set down his beer bottle to look at her fully. “Just because we don’t have the same interests and goals doesn’t mean I’m boring.”

    Lucy conceded, softening. “Yeah, I know. And I love you for being the sarcastic weirdo Beethoven freak you are. But I also want to see you get out there and experience this city. Like, did you know that there’s a jazz bar in Midtown that’s also a library! There’s a flower shop in Soho that turns into a fortune teller’s booth by night! There’s a record shop three blocks away that has a sleepy cat that lies in between the Rock and Indie section. There’s a whole world out there, Schroeder!”

    ***
    OR: Lucy and Schroeder have called Apartment 603 their home for three years. And that's sure to bring about a new level of closeness to their friendship. But somehow they didn't expect it to spiral into more.

    Summary

    The men who kidnapped him were supposed to turn him over to the king of Telmar for a public execution, to assert Telmar's dominance over Narnia in the ongoing war. However, in typical Telmarine fashion, they had double-crossed the king and so now Edmund sat, hands bound, in a rowboat headed for the slave market at the Lone Islands.

    "You'll live to regret this," Edmund said.

    The Telmarine rowman had a face pockmarked by the sun and a crooked nose like he'd been on the losing end of one too many fights. He grinned without humor and said, "Ah, perhaps. But the point is, young prince, I will live."

    Edmund couldn't argue the point. King Miraz had a habit of tying up loose ends with the edge of a knife. "It isn't Miraz you should be worried about," Edmund said, returning the shrewd grin. "It's my mother."

    OR

    Edmund has spent seven years in Narnia going from captive to sorcerer to prince, but when he gets the chance to escape to a life of freedom with a handsome pirate captain, he takes it. But Jadis is not willing to give up her link to power and the deep magic so easily, and Edmund and Caspian will have to fight to hold on to their life together.

    Summary

    For a monster, Luke possessed an extraordinary beauty, which only intensified when he was lost in the embrace of sleep. His allure had always struck Alex as otherworldly, and in many ways, it was. All vampires were supposed to be beautiful creatures—at least, that's what Alex had been taught. However, lacking sufficient experience with others of his kind, Luke stood as his first encounter with a vampire.

    In fact, Luke was his first in every way.

    And soon, Luke would be his first job. His first victim. The first vampire Alex would have to kill.

    Because this was his job as a vampire hunter, and it was what he had been meant to do all along.

    or a JATP vampires AU fic where Alex is a vampire hunter who’s supposed to hate and kill the vampire Luke Patterson, but things are never black and white.

    Summary

    “Why would you give up your life for me like that? It doesn’t make sense,” he continues, laughing harshly. “You could’ve had a life, Pope. You could’ve gone to college. Fuck, man. I don’t get it.”

    Pope could almost laugh, if he had the energy to find anything funny right now.

    Because I don’t want a life without you, he doesn’t say. How could I breathe if you weren’t there? How could I ever sleep again if those cops had killed you? How could you think I even had a choice?

    Instead, Pope sighs, keeping his eyes resolutely pointed forward. “What would you have done, JJ?” He asks, as if he doesn’t already know the answer.

     

    --

    or:

    Pope and JJ have loved each other for a long time. The problem is, each of them thinks they've missed their chance with the other.

    After a year of awkward distance between them, Pope is tired, and knows that it's time to figure their shit out.

    He's always just a bit too late for the good things in his life, and he only hopes that it won't be true now.
