When the House of Barnes is left in massive debt after the death of George Barnes, their oldest son and heir, Bucky, is forced to sacrifice his own hopes and dreams by entering an arranged married to Steve Rogers. Steve seems kind enough, has a prominent job in the government, and was even voted Society's Best Catch. But the House Rogers is significantly higher in status than Bucky's family, which means Bucky is marrying up in Society, and marrying up doesn't only come with rewards, it also comes with certain...expectations and losses--some of which Bucky might be willing to do anything to avoid. And those opportunities might come his way. Unless, of course, he actually starts falling in love with his new husband...

Sunbeams scatter happily through the high windows of the hidden basement room. Small flecks of dust dance within the soft cones of illumination. Glowing in their own little world. Morning. Busy, but not overly so. Footsteps and soft voices and carriages that roll over cobblestoned streets. Brooklyn

Park Seonghwa is a paramedic in the less privileged part of the city. He takes his job very seriously, and he spends most of his time alone. When an ambulance call leads him to a wounded gang leader, he treats the man with kindness and gentle hands despite his reputation. Against his better judgment, he finds himself continually entangled with the gang, and its leader most of all. Park Seonghwa has always lived by the book. It’s the only way to stay alive. Kim Hongjoong is the leader of the most notorious gang in the area. He shares his true name with no one, and he never allows others to touch him unless he intends to kill them anyway. The inner circle of his gang is the only exception. But when a certain paramedic takes care of him, Hongjoong chooses to break all of his own rules just to know him. Kim Hongjoong has always been ruthless. It’s the only way to stay alive.

Do You Like Mexican?
“Do you like Mexican?” Liam asks, even quieter than before. “What?” “Nothing,” Liam says quickly and then, after a stilted moment, “Mexican.” “I didn’t particularly enjoy Mexico. No,” Stiles answers. He’d thought Scott had enlightened Liam about the trip to Mexico already, but maybe Liam needs a perspective that isn’t riddled with, ‘Isaac was there,’ ‘Isaac was cute on that trip,’ ‘Oh Isaac got hurt, it was the most awful thing to ever happen to me in my entire life.’

They whisper to the desperate, if you go to the nearest body of water, a heavy fog will cover the area and a boat will appear in the water. The moments before the boat reaches you will be your last opportunity to change your mind and leave because when that boat docks, you'll be swept away by the spirit of the Yiling Patriarch and his son. Most of the sects scoffed at this, Wei Wuxian is good and dead! And he doesn't even have a son, he would have been killed when they rid the world of the demon. Lan Xichen hid a smile behind his cup as Nie Huaisang snickered to himself and Jiang Cheng loudly scoffed. As no one's asked him if these rumors are true, it'll remain a secret between the three of them. TLDR: Wei Ying became a god, Lan Yuan also became a god, the dead get revived, a sect is made, and the Jins can burn in hell, not you three. Also, quick note I'm going to put here, this story tends to jump perspectives a lot. So, if that's not your cup of tea, this is your only warning.

post-9.01, in a slight AU wherein Cas comes to live with the Winchesters at the Bunker. Written before 9.03. Crossposting from Tumblr. Written for a prompt from hightopsandsharpies: "Okay, so Cas is a virgin, and has no idea what pleasure is and Dean decides to show him and Cas gets all cuddly and needy afterwards." Dean walks in on Cas masturbating. He’s doing it all wrong, but when you’re a bazillion-year-old virgin, that’s to be expected. Dean decides to lend him a hand in a totally platonic, non-romantic way. Things get a little out of control.

It probably wasn’t a good thing to be so cynical about love at such an early age but honestly could you blame Jinyoung? To be fair he was a typical university student with no real background when it came to matters of the heart, but in his eyes he had enough bitter rejection and sleepless nights to consider himself done with trying. (or where jinyoung has a strict schedule and no time to meet someone new, until someone comes in and put himself on the schedule and jinyoung doesn't argue it.)

Inspired by an Imagine on the Tumblr blog DirtySPNImagines. "Imagine sex with Soulless!Sam. Imagine how rough, passionate, and desperate it would be. He would be so dominate and selfish, you wouldn’t even be able to walk the next day. I have a feeling he would also be really smug about it, wanting to leave marks all over you and make you scream so loud that it wakes up the entire motel floor."
