Can't Deny The Moment When I Taste It (ao3) - galacticsugar luke/calum T, 17k

Summary: “Constitutes. Big word! Trying to confuse me, Lucas?” Calum squints and brings one of his flour-covered hands back up to Luke’s face. Luke jerks back at first, but then he steadies himself as Calum’s pointer finger gently swoops around his cheek with purpose. Calum’s face is close, so close, forehead wrinkled in concentration, and Luke tries not to let his eyes linger on Calum’s lips for too long. He’s hyper-conscious of his own breathing, probably too loud and too fast and– “There!” Calum says proudly, stepping back to admire his handiwork. “Now you’re Star Baker.” He picks up the bowl and holds it in front of Luke’s face. Sure enough, there’s a messy flour star printed on his left cheek.

Have Your Cake and Eat It Too (ao3) - galacticsugar| luke/ashton T, 18k

Summary: Ashton looks up at Luke through his eyelashes, still gripping Luke’s arm lightly. His eyes are filled with concern. “Are you sure? It looks kinda bad.”

“It’ll be okay. I’ll have First Aid look at it after I get my shortbread out.” This seems to placate Ashton, who nods once and drops Luke’s arm. “Okay, as long as you promise to get it looked at. I can’t be the reason you lose an arm. I’ll never be able to live with myself.” He smiles at Luke, and Luke can’t help but smile back. He hopes he doesn’t look too obviously smitten. He can almost feel the cartoon hearts popping up over his head.

Summary: Michael needs a tall man with broad shoulders and a slim waist and he needs one now. Not for sexy reasons, although he wouldn’t turn one down for that.

Knee Socks, Sweaters, & Kitten Boys (ao3) - KiribakuBabe michael/luke E, 5k

Summary: In all the whole of four years that Luke and Michael had been married, he'd never once let the other man know about his habit. That habit being that he loved wearing knitted knee socks around the house with nothing else on but Michael's sweater.

a change of heart and a silver lining (ao3) - bellawritess luke/calum T, 18k

Summary: Calum’s not obsessed with routine or anything, but he does become accustomed to certain constants in life. Michael is always about eight minutes late. Ashton always records vocals barefoot. Calum always knows the person behind the register at Bake Station.

Except today. Today it’s a stranger, though admittedly a stranger who looks enough like Jack that Calum can easily connect the dots.

“Hi there,” says the bloke in Jack’s place, giving Calum a bright smile. “What can I get for you today?”

If this is Luke Hemmings, Calum’s fucked.

Because it was you I called it a different story (ao3) - phanjessmagoria michael/calum E, 8k

Summary: Michael found himself saying words that he didn’t really think he had had any intention, or reason, to say.

“I’m Michael, by the way.”

The librarian paused, tore the receipt that printed out and tucked it into the front cover of the book. He held up Michael’s library card. “I know.” He gave a wry smile and slid the book over to Michael, placing his card on top of it with a snap.

“Right, yeah,” Michael said. He took the book, but when he saw the librarian turning away, checking if there was anyone waiting in line, he blurted out, “What’s your name?”

The brown eyes were back on him, their inherent warmth radiating out from them even with the slightly bemused expression that was on the man’s face, until finally, he spoke. “Calum.”

Summary: It's not Michael's fault the owner of Fletcher's Flowers is so good-looking. And no one—Luke—should be able to blame him for wanting to come to the shop and admire the pretty buff man with large delicate hands as he assembles bouquets or pets his cat.

He Looks So Perfect (ao3) - Emmybazy luke/calum G, 3k

And Luke's fancied him for as long as he can remember.
