The last time Karkat had seen this many humans in one place, most of them were dead. He was pretty sure a royal banquet ostensibly in his honor wasn't an appropriate place for battlefield flashbacks, but it was impossible not to draw the connection. Heat and noise. A cacaphony of uniforms. Overwhel

Just Want to Get You Alone
Dan and Phil go to the YouTuber Halloween Gathering on October 31, 2009, then get some time alone afterward. It's sweet and awkward and romantic and fluffy and a little sexy. A stand-alone fic in my "Creeper" series, but can probably be read on its own (though you'll get more out of it if you read the other fics in the series first).

the "real" viktor nikiforov
So, fine, maybe Yuuri's a little bored and lonely when he likes a dating profile claiming to be Viktor Nikiforov. And, maybe, he's a little pathetic when he gets excited when the account messages him almost immediately after. And, he's definitely stupid for falling in love with someone pretending to be his idol, but he can't help it. It's not like it's the real Viktor Nikiforov, anyway. He knows someone is catfishing him, but he still falls ridiculously in love.

Satoru laughed, ginning at the gesture, ever grateful for the Yuji’s thoughtfulness. “Sounds good to me. Let me re-tie your guys’ shoes and we’ll head out of here.”As he was finishing up Yuji’s laces, the new arrivals started to make their way into the park. When Satoru looked up, he was met with the most striking set of lavender eyes; eyes that happened to be looking back into his own.-Satoru was still learning how to be a proper parent to Megumi after gaining custody of him when the child’s father and Satoru’s former college roommate, Toji, was sentenced to several years in prison.Romance wasn’t on the forefront of his mind, yet one day when at the local park with Megumi and his friend Yuji, Satoru became entranced by a striking set of lavender eyes. Another father, one with two little girls around the boys’ age, became a point of interest for Satoru.While his first priority was making sure Megumi was comfortable due to the child’s troubled past with social anxiety, he couldn’t help but feel drawn to the stranger with kind eyes.When fate had it that they kept running into each other, Satoru’s mind swirled with possibilities and feelings, ones he couldn’t help but indulge in.
