Is it weird I dig this?

...likely. 

But that means all these people who contributed are just as so. I’m cool with that. Maybe it stems from the badassery that was shown of Lex and Scar in AVP as they worked as a damn effective team to survive the Chiva that unexpectedly (or maybe not so much, if you know the tradition of both franchises) went pear-shaped. 

Oh who am I kidding it was definitely that and coupled with the fantastic writers that I stumbled onto in my formative moments...what could it be but a done deal, baby?

Come, enjoy my trophies. Save your judgements...I’m lightyears above it.

Paya’s Blessing 

**This is a very quick one-shot (a part of my power hour entries, where a story is written and completed in 60 minutes). The characters are from my own previously published original novel. I’m thinking of continuing the universe with a sequel and this is just a way to refresh my brain to the idea. There may be a few more before I make a decision. Either way it goes, this has been birthed. Enjoy! 

__________________________________________________

  Every meet-cute involves an accident of some kind. As if we as a people don’t have enough to be anxious about. To have to worry about whether or not you're going to flash a mob of strangers on your way down a flight of stairs is just gratuitous stress for absolutely no reason.

  This is how Robin has felt since the on­set of puberty and her first foray into 80' s rom-coms, and that was at least 20 years ago. So, imagine her surprise when her dog damn near destroys half a block trying

to get to some man she's never met before, and she proceeds to invite him to tea like it's a regular thing she does.

  All that's left is the uplifting pop number that's set supposed to set the tune of the rest of their undoubtedly long lasting relationship.

  Now, here she sits at a small, strangely intimate patio table at her most frequented cafe, with a man she's just met because her dog tried to take him out… in the most lovable way, of course.

  She should be feeling awkward. Hell, she should probably be feeling suspicious. Do

meet-cubes happen for heavily pregnant women?

  No?

  No. The answer is no. Not that she's ever seen in the very least.

  Newly pregnant? Sure.

  New-born baby? Yea, ok.

  Eight months in with a prominent waddle? No one's trying to see that.

  So, the question ends up being, why is this happening to her and why is she not feeling shiftier about it?

  “We haven’t met before have we?” he asks curiosity bright on his face. And a handsome face it is, she can’t help but note. And while she could put the blame squarely on her ever-fluctuating hormones, it would be one hell of a lie.

  “I don’t see how we could have.” Which makes the familiarity all the more out of place. Come on rationality where have you gone?

  Steam billows softly from the mouth of the squat teacup. Perfect to catch and release the smooth floral scent of the lavender tea Trish get in front of her.

  Not without a lingering sidelong glance, mind..

  Her dog, Bopa, the true mastermind of destruction if not accidental cupid, groans from underneath their table, happily gnawing away at the rawhide treat Trish slipped to her while dropping off their drinks.

  The fact that she was so easily distracted, not that she hadn't just moments before been a little remiss in her guard dogging since barreling into 'Misha', helped to distract her from Trish's aggravating though valid suspicion for her tea guest.

  “You know, dogs... they have, kind of a sixth sense about people,” she comments after a warming sip. “Like, they know who to trust. who to bite, within the first moments of meeting them.”

  He smirks around the lip of his own cup, but doesn’t drink, just takes a gentle sniff, testing before setting it back down, “Yea?”

  “Yea. And I know what you're wandering: 'why the hell is she saying this to me? What does this have to do with the price of tea in China, right?”

  “Maybe not so…” he makes a waffling gesture with his free hand.

  “Oh, yea, sure, so what I'm getting at is I don’t usually let people I don't know kiss me, no matter how innocent or whatever.... or take me anywhere.” She gestures around vaguely in referral to the cafe, “I mean I don’t know you from Adam... but my dog, she likes you. Like, really likes you.. Like, you've got dumplings in your pocket or something... So, I guess that means you're a good guy.” It has to, because

why else would she feel this way? So at ease.

  Happy….

  Would she be completely crazy if she said complete? Probably.

  “You guess?” He looks amused at the candor.

  “Well, I still need to get there myself.”

  “I'm a good guy Ptichka. Still, I understand.” He fiddles with the handle of the dainty

little teacup. So delicate looking in his large hands. Then he does the gentle sniff move again.

  She finds herself giggling softly at him. “They do have coffee, if that's

what you prefer. Coffee,” she sighs absently, “oh how I miss thee.”

  He laughs and it's both a soft and masculine sound that sends a wave of warmth throughout her chest. “The tea is fine,” he says eventually. “It is just, the scent is familiar, though I

Cannot seem to place it.”

  “Maybe... if you drink it...?” she suggests.

  There's no real reason not so, so he does. It's warm and soothing, she knows from experience, with it and the soft crooning of Judith Hill in the background creating a calming ambiance makes everything seem kind of perfect.

  It’s something she can see on his face just as clearly as it resonates within her, as if making him this soft, happy thing could be her life’s mission and she’d be wildly thankful for it. “Watch this,” she prompts, squeezing a slice of lemon into her tea, the two watch intently as it turns a soft purple. She smiles conspiratorially and with a wave of delicate fingers whispers, “Magic.”

  He laughs outright, excited by her own happiness.

  Yea…perfect.

  So much so that the moment is not even really marred when he eventually asks her something that should feel rightfully invasive. Because, really, what stranger asks, “What about the father?” so soon after meeting someone.

  …or maybe they do…

  Either way, she knows she would have felt some kind of way had it been anyone else asking.

  Oddly enough, no one has ever cared enough to ask before. Not to her. Not to her face. Which is probably the actual weird thing, now that she thinks about it.

  She tries to think of an answer, to put together the most appropriate string of words.

  But she really can't. Not as if she's ashamed or that she doesn’t know who the father is or anything of that sort. It's that she can’t. Everything comes up blank there are no words. Like something's stopping her from reaching that far back. That something, a big nothingness where nothing exists. That feels both a little warm and freezing cold. It's a little discomforting and it's never happened before. She is positive of that.

  There's always been something there. Memories, a face, a name, an answer...

  At least… she thinks there has been she scrunches her face and tries to shake off the unsettling thought. “You know what, it was a long time ago and they're…” she can't say it. Can't say gone, not important, somewhere out there living their best life. Not to him.

  “They missed out,” he finishes for her and it's something she can accept. A truth that reverberates within her entire psyche and echoes in him. Curious.

  “Yea.” It's a little sad, but at the moment, not overwhelmingly so and she wonders if she should feel bad about that. If she should be feeling bad for both of them.

  All of that's forgotten when she settles back wholly on the person in front of her and takes him all in. The way his smile returns, bright and sincere. It propels her past the sad spiral that was tapping on

a particularly sensitive corner of her brain.

  It must be weird that she feels this level or completeness-completion?-sitting across from him. Like the niggling in the back of her mind has suddenly stopped and she can breathe with an ease she hasn’t felt in a long time or even realized she had been missing.

  It almost feels like a little too much at once.

  “Sorry.” She abruptly shoots from her seat -well as quickly as a pregnant woman her size can shoot- “I’ve gotta pee. Like ALL THE TIME, man. I’ll be right back though.” She promises before he can react as she shuffles out. Her happy husky only giving her a lazy glance from her spot underneath the table.

  “Is that something she often does? Or is it just me?” he asks his new canine acquaintance, who only stares up at him with wide eyes a quiet commiserating whine in the back of her throat. Misha nods as if he understands perfectly, “Ah. I see.”

  A woman with her hair pulled back in a strikingly severe pony-tail, the same woman that delivered their tea in fact, dropped down into the vacated seat, her arms folded and an equally severe look upon her face. She leans back in the chair, from which she gives him a very thorough shovel talk apropos to nothing really. Only standing after starring him into capitulation with her sinister sounding “We understand each other now, don’t we,” just as Robin returns and reluctantly allows her possibly overly proactive friend, to help her flop back down into the chair.

  “She refuses to hear me when I say I've got this awkward shift of center of gravity down like science. Trish didn’t say anything inappropriate to you, did she?” she asks once she gets comfortably situated.

  “Not at all.” The smile he gives is genuine and reassuring.

  “Good. I'm enjoying-myself and I'd hate for her to stick her big head in it and mess it all up.”

  “I have a feeling it would take more than innocent meddling to do that.”

  “Innocent,” she scoffs. “The woman is a goddamn shark-excuse me-she'll take a chunk out of you before you could scream for help.”

  “Speaking from experience?” he asks.

  “We grew up together. Seems like I've known her my entire life… and then some.” Her gaze shifts to the empty space above his shoulder, drifting off into someplace no one else could reach.

  She scrunches her nose at what she manages to see there. “And yet, there are times I want nothing more than to swing her around by that tight-ass pony-tail because she said some mean-ass shit, unnecessary.”

  “That sounds like siblinghood.”

  It's reasonable… and true, so she shrugs her shoulders at it in casual acceptance. “I guess. Listen, I am going to have to pee again in like, thirty minutes and my eyes are starting to burn a little, not

that that's important, but I should call it a night.” She’s sad to say it just as much as he looks upset to hear it. “I'd like to do this again though-If you're interested, that is…”

  “I am.” He reaches out to help steady her as they stand, a move that feels easily instictive. “Would you like me to walk you home?”

  “I-I think I would like that.”

  With a sharp whistle Bopa skitters out from beneath the table, detouring only to accept a second treat from Trish, following them out into the busy sidewalk and off into whatever happy moments are to come.

  Maybe dumplings…she likes those.

As far as I’m concerned, this is all your fault, and you’d better hope that they find him.”

Dr. Jemma Simmons has been working to find a cure to the rare disease that took her cousin’s life, but with dwindling donations to the university, she may never even get the chance.

I was a shell of a human being, a pawn in my father’s game of chess, a puppet for a mad man – and you were the light at the end of that dark tunnel. You made me want to do better, be better. You have that effect on people, you know. Love, Draco."

"Singletail whip. Your favorite, isn't it?" Red. Stiles felt nauseated as he bent over the bench. Red. The tremble only increased when his wrists and ankles were secured with leather straps. Red.

When Your Back’s Against the Wall by A_Diamond, Michicant123 (Complete: one-shot | 11,976) Teen Wolf: Sterek [Rated E]

Fifteen years ago, the country of Beacon was shaken to its core when three slaves murdered most of the royal Hale family and one of the politically powerful Argents in the course of a single night.

Six years ago, Stiles Stilinski was forced to grow up fast and hard when his dying mother, herself a freed slave, left him at the head of an abolitionist revolution.

Two months ago, beloved princess-to-be Allison Argent was assassinated; three weeks ago, Stiles was caught and charged with her death.

Five hours ago, he was sentenced to serve the remaining Hales—tyrannical King Peter and reclusive Prince Derek—as a slave for the rest of his life. In a palace where the only people who may hate him more than the king are the ever-present family of the woman he’s convicted of murdering, the best he can hope for is that death will only be a few torturous years away.

“Derek, can you give me my phone? I want to document this memorable moment,” Stiles said, before making grabby motions in the direction of his phone. Derek – unable to deny the other man anything – gave him the device before sitting back in his chair. He only raised one eyebrow when he saw what Stiles was up to. Apparently ‘documenting this memorable moment’ meant for Stiles to take a selfie and post it online. He showed Derek the picture with the caption ‘Dick sent me to the ER’.

Rich Man, Poor Man by TyReed (Complete: 10/10 | 58,055) Teen Wolf: Sterek [Rated M]

During a first date gone horribly wrong, Stiles Stilinksi realizes that the snarky guy he's been asked out by is actually Derek Hale, an heir to Hale Industries, one of the most profitable companies in the entire world. Who is, for whatever reason, interested in the son of a teacher and a cop, a loser who spends all weekend watching movies in his pajamas, and who is also possibly one of the biggest dorks on the Internet.

At the same time, after screwing up their first date horribly, Derek Hale realizes that the funny guy he's asked out is Stiles Stilinksi, the warmest and kindest individual he's ever met in his life, with a family just a loving and caring. Who is, for whatever reason, interested in a guy who screws up everything he does, lacks any semblance of a backbone, and who is possibly one of the biggest history dorks in all of the United States.

These rich and poor men will come to experience a taste of each other's lives, and learn where the real blessings in the world can be found.

Bonds of Blood, Bonds of Family, Bonds of Love by TyReed (Complete: 10/10 | 44,003) Teen Wolf: Sterek [Rated M]

After being beaten up by a door, werewolf Stiles Stilinksi finds himself bonded to Derek Hale, of the Hale Noble Bloodline. For a scrawny, wimpy, Tainted Bloodline werewolf, Stiles runs away, embarrassed and humiliated as he worries about bringing shame to the Hale Family, and even more shame to himself. Because the Nobles and Tainted just don't mix, never have, never will.

Except, things aren't exactly what they seem.

With the help of the (meddling) Hale family, his adoptive (meddling) human parents John and Claudia Stilinksi, and one very persistent Alpha Derek Hale, Stiles might come to see himself as more than just the blood that runs through his veins, and open his heart to find the happiness, friends, pack, and the family that he'd always wanted.

Matenapped by xcaellachx (Complete: 12/12 | 36,671) Teen Wolf: Sterek [Rated E]

Alpha Derek Hale has known Spark Stiles Stilinski was his mate for over six years. The traumatized Spark had killed the rogue alpha who tried to kill his friend so many years ago and was still scarred by the experience. Now, Stiles was settled in as a magic shop owner and Derek was ready to claim him for his own. The ritual of matenapping was an old but accepted tradition and Derek had his den ready to receive his mate. It was time.

Stiles Stilinski thought Lydia was insane for thinking the sexy alpha wanted to matenap him. He was damaged by his past and determined to stay single so he didn't harm anyone. He kept his magic tightly leashed and couldn't believe that anyone could want him. Not a murderer. Even when the wolf came to see him and touched him gently, winking at him and looking at him longingly, he just couldn't accept it.

Very soon, Stiles wouldn't have a choice but to believe it. Derek was taking his mate and bringing him to his mating den where he would court and woo him until he couldn't help but fall in love with him.

(A/N: This is a lighthearted fic for the most part. This isn't an evil kidnapping/fall in love with your captor type. Not very serious at all, to be honest. Enjoy!)

The 911 Buck/Eddie list and by list I really just mean this one awesome recommendation...however! I feel like the sheer quantity of works in this series makes a long enough list all on it’s own.

"It's not a date if Chris is here with us."

At that, Buck's eyebrows flew up, and his face went pale. "A… date?"

Eddie nodded, a little nervously. "Yeah. This is a date."

*This is part of an awesome ongoing series that I have fully subscribed to an plan to until the very end. Go crazy with me.

**This one made me feel actual, genuine emotion. Get ready to feels the feels my friends.

**with an emphasis on the Ron Weasley Bashing element. (Just like I live for bad friend Scott McCall, I live for this and honestly, the way Ron is portrayed in the movies how could you not see some of this happening?)  

The Peacock & The Otter by CarrieMaxwell (WIP: 67/? | 363,107) Ao3 Rated Teen and Up

Draco's always been drawn to Hermione in some way, he has for years and can't explain. It'd be easier if he could just get a moment alone with her to see why, but she's never alone! At the Yule Ball, Draco finally has a moment with Hermione and they share that time coming to a "truce". A battle of brains starts between the two as they form a friendly rivalry to excel in their classes. What started as a "make Weasley jealous" game becomes something more, quickly, and with far reaching consequences. With Harry's Triwizard Tournament taking much of the spotlight, and Hermione acting strangely with Malfoy, Ron's jealousy starts manifesting in ugly ways, until it causes a break in school tradition so shocking that people will speak of it for ages to come.

A story where Draco finds his redemption at the pivotal moment, deciding that helping keep Harry alive to prevent the resurrection of Voldemort is more important than bitter school rivalries.

Patronus by TaraHarkon (Complete: one-shot | 1,399) Ao3 Rated G

"It is the decision of the Wizengamot that the truest test of a dark wizard is their inability to produce a patronus.

The Wizengamot recognizes that this is a difficult spell and he will be permitted a year’s time to practice."

With that court decision, Hermione sets about helping Draco on the path to freedom and to the future.

The Quidditch Bet by Rumaan (Complete: one-shot | 7,116) Ao3 Rated G

Ron's desire for Malfoy's new Firebolt II leads him to make a silly and very damaging bet. How will Hermione react when she finds out? And just how is Malfoy going to use this to his advantage?

Bite First, Ask Questions Later by Daredevilsinthedetails, Kaylessi (Complete: 17/17 | 69,876) Ao3 Rated E 

Their world was at a boiling point. Currently, 25% of the magical world consisted of born Alphas and not a single new English Omega had presented since Halloween of 1981. Aggression, possessive behavior, and battles for dominance between the Alphas were making magical Britain a relative warzone. A laundry list of nefarious deeds by one deemed to be light and the cure to all of their problems resting on the shoulders of three unsuspecting students…what could go wrong?

"I just don't understand. Why… why Malfoy?" She was scrubbing the dishes in front of her the muggle way, a habit she did when she was nervous, uncomfortable, or angry.

Everything I've always wanted to be."

So When Do I Get To Pledge My Loyalty To The Mob? by RedRidingStiles (one-shot| 10,089) --Sterek

“Are you my sugar daddy?” Stiles blurts out, slapping a hand over his mouth when his brain catches up to his mouth. The man lets out a soft laugh, making his way around the couch till he’s standing just feet away from Stiles. Stiles can smell his cologne from here, it smells heavenly, Stiles kinda wants to bury his face into the guy's chest so he can figure out exactly what it is.

“If that’s what you’d like to call it.” The man smiles, Stiles doesn’t think he should be allowed to smile like that. All soft and gorgeous and way too pretty to be legal. He’s still not convinced any of this is real.

Stiles loses his wallet, someone returns it along with $5,000. Shit keeps coming, Stiles life doesn't make any sense anymore, he's just going with it.

"This isn't about you, Stiles, this is about Scott and what you did. You drove him away in hopes that it would make us hate him like we hate you" Stiles stepped back, his face falling with something that should have been shock but felt a lot like a revelation of relief. Johns words fell over him in the next moment, his face stiffening and his shoulders squaring as he spluttered. "That-that's not- I didn't- that didn't come out like-"

"No I get it dad, poor little six year old stiles had nothing over cute chubby cheeked Scott. Especially when that damn Stiles looked so much like her"
