Summary
A short-lived series of private lessons took place after Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth school year, during which Severus Snape attempted to teach Harry the skill of Occlumency. The lessons were ultimately cancelled when Harry was caught prying into Snape's memories, discovering the strangest things: A mysterious prophecy connected Harry's fate with Voldemort's, Harry's dad was an insufferable bully, and Severus Snape had been in love with Harry's mum. Naturally, Harry now has a million questions. Snape would prefer to answer none.
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. The same question arises in every soul: "For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?"
...Or, a classic approach to stubbornness.

Summary
Spock has felt lust for his Captain before, but never quite like this.
When Kirk discovers that Spock is betrothed he has a reaction that...surprises Spock, to say the least.

Summary
...
Jim, who covers Spock as if mounting a mate...
Jim, who shoves him down onto his back, until hot stone burns pleasure and pain into his lower spine...
Jim who pushes the lirpa to his chest and holds him there, overpowered, so many points of contact, so tantalizingly close.
Spock's skin flashes hot, his legs part, a reflex from nowhere near the fight instinct. The pounding of his blood cries out in eager heat at being granted the dream he was dreaming seconds ago--
--almost, but not quite.
Jim's eyes are fear, not seduction. No gentle, knowing glance at the juncture of Spock's legs to acknowledge the damp strain of need there. No human thigh pushed up between them, offered for him to ride to relief.
But Spock has been trembling on the precipice for so long that it doesn't matter.
Just the feel of Jim over him like this. The brush of skin between their hands... the very idea of how near Jim's hips are to his, how close this is to what his body pleads for...
Pressed against stone, his spine barely arches.
Out of breath, his throat makes barely a sound...(Amok Time where everything's the same AND they fuck there in the sand and it's not even an AU.)

Summary
Dick can hear Deathstroke lazily walking down the line of handcuffed, terrified hostages trying to shuffle back even closer to the wall. He already knows where this is going.
There’s not enough time to decide which would look less suspicious—looking up or not. Slade grabs Dick’s hair and pulls him up, leaving him no choice but to move forward until he’s kneeling at Slade’s feet. He can hear shuddery sighs of relief from the other hostages and can’t blame them.

Summary
“You’d like that, wouldn’t you?” Slade murmurs back absentmindedly, still focused on the knots at Grayson’s wrist.
Grayson makes another one of those sounds, somewhere between a gasp and a cough, like he’s trying to simultaneously swallow and eject something stuck in the back of his throat. “Jesus, kid, what the fuck is it this time?” Slade says.
“Yes,” Grayson chokes out. “What the fuck it is is yes, I’d like that, and stop asking me questions.”

Summary
“Looks like we’ll be trapped for a while,” Harry whispers, calm as you please, as if Eggsy’s face isn’t pressed directly into the little hollow between his neck and his shoulder, as if Eggsy isn’t drowning in the fucking scent of his cologne, as if the fabric of his bespoke suit isn’t caressing Eggsy’s cheek like a goddamn lover.

Unfortunately, if you descended another few rungs in Harry’s personal ladder to damnation, wanking to an illicitly-obtained video feed of your protégé and mentee was so far from fine it could have mailed you a postcard of perdition, merrily captioned “Wish You Were Here!”

Summary
“Oh, what the fuck!” Stan yelps. Honestly, this cannot get any weirder. Or grosser.
“Can you understand me now?” Ford asks, like he didn’t just carve a microchip out of his fucking head, electrocute it, and cram it back in, without using sane people things like painkillers or, Stan doesn’t know, antiseptic? Shouldn’t there have been antiseptic involved?
Or, in which Ford's interdimensional universal translator breaks, and he realizes just how much he's lost. Turns out thirty years of dimension-hopping aren't great for language retention.

Summary
Vimes was like a law of nature, like clockwork. There had been a time when Vetinari had tried to caution himself against getting too used to him, against relying on him too much. In retrospect though, he had never stood chance.
Set during and after the events of Making Money.

“I reckon…” Ed's eyes fix on the grave again. “Never enough time, is there? I just wish we could give him more time.”
“I know, my love.”
Their eyes both land on the seagull perched on the arm of the makeshift cross, the one that’s been sitting there all day, at the same time.
(Or: Israel Hands, true to form, claws his way out of his own grave.)

Summary
The man beside him shifted, digging the metal cuff further into Izzy's wrist. His arm was warm; his voice was infuriating. He had not stopped talking since Izzy woke up with a splitting headache, no weapons, and no way to escape.
"This is unbelievably rude," said Bonnet.
Izzy and Stede are seized off the street, handcuffed together, and held for ransom. Together, they must figure out how to escape before they can be used as bait for Blackbeard's capture.

Summary
Izzy’s progress is halting, his brow sweaty and his jaw clenched in pain, but everyone knows better than to offer help or assistance. Well, Ed amends, wincing when Izzy’s wooden leg catches on an uneven floorboard, everyone but Stede, apparently.
“Oh, for goodness’ sake, man,” Stede tuts at Izzy, and actually does grab one of Izzy’s hands to firmly place it on his own arm, “you’re being absolutely impossible, Israel.”
Ed waits, gaze flickering back and forth between Stede and Izzy’s faces, ready to intervene in case of sudden violence. Because Izzy does look like he’s about to reach for one of the daggers he’s undoubtedly got stashed somewhere on his person, even out of his leathers, but then Stede nudges him, gently, towards the table, and Izzy blows out a frustrated breath, and that’s that.
Just like that.
[5 times Ed notices that Stede and Izzy have grown pretty damn close, plus the 1 time he has a
tantrumcompletely sensible and adult reaction about it.]
