    Summary

    In ship years, the Scylla is a woman well into her 40s. She’s mature, she’s dependable, and she’s seen some shit. Sylvain found her in a used shipyard over five years ago: battered by asteroids, her main engine a constellation of outdated parts, rats and birds nesting in her cargo bay. Maybe it was messed up for Sylvain to look at a spacecraft and see a metaphor, but there you go.

    -

    Sylvain hops around the galaxy looking for freedom and running from trouble. Jury’s still out on which one Felix represents.

    Summary

    Felix scoffs quietly through his teeth, drumming his fingers against the countertop. Typical Sylvain, making light of his own bruises. Some things even the Camerata can’t change, for all their power and innovation. Felix doubts that any force in the universe could change Sylvain.

    A worn, habitual affection shifts in his chest, and turns itself into pain.

    “Hey,” Sylvain murmurs, his voice in a low, unexpected register. “Look at me.”

    Felix does, unhesitating. He looks at the broad span of the Transistor, its grooves and ridges, its mesmerizing crimson eye. Its glow seems to pulse subtly in the darkness, almost the beat of a heart.

    “God,” Sylvain says, breaking, “I miss you, you know that?”

    Summary

    Of a tower, a missing prince with the sun in his hair and the ability to heal with a touch, and a terrible-dangerous-very-bad bandit who’s never been all that good at being very bad, dangerous, or terrible.

    An AU based off of Disney’s Tangled.

    Summary

    Jack Morrison wanted the coked-up kid out of his interrogation room and enough intel to take out the rest of Deadlock.

    Neither of those things happened.

    Summary

    Enjolras swallowed. "I didn't know he had tattoos on his back."

    "Yeah," said Joly, shrugging. "I mean, he lives with me and before about noon, he's allergic to shirts—"

    "Why—" said Enjolras weakly.

    "I always figured he had a bad shirt experience," Joly offered. "Shirts killed his family, or his first dog got hit by a truck full of shirts."

    Enjolras shook his head. His face was a little flushed.

    "Ooh, are you experiencing symptoms?" said Joly, brightening. "What's your pulse doing? Are you breathing normally? How do your glands feel?"

     

    Inspired in part by tumblr user feferi's post here, specifically: "i am in love with the idea that enjolras is so baffled by his own emotions towards grantaire that he legitimately cannot tell if he has heartburn or stomach butterflies"

    Modern AU. Joly is a gentleman, a scholar, a med student—and, when need be, a matchmaker. And oh, the need is definitely being.
