But the Heart | Steve/Tony | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
"Okay. So. Kids. It can't be too hard, right? People dumber than us raise kids all the time. Not much to them. Just feed them, water them, distract them with shiny things and make sure they aren't unsupervised for too long. Speaking of which, how long has tiny-spawn been alone in your kitchen?"

Honey, I Can See The Stars | Steve/Tony
The most he'd ever cared about anything remotely related was his uniform, which, beyond the stylistic, was pretty necessary. But now his suit comes from a lab far more advanced than the basement of a Brooklyn antique shop, and the only decision he really gets to make is if his pants are too tight. (They were, but he doesn't really think they changed them. He doesn't know why, but he thinks that might have been on purpose.) That being said, he doesn't know what he's done to deserve the double take Tony gives him as he walks in the room.
If We Never Got This Second Chance | Steve/Tony*
When Tony and Steve’s son from the future, Jake Jensen, arrives at Avenger’s Tower, the two of them are forced to confront some hard truths: Tony that he might not actually become a horrible father, and Steve that he might not be able to set aside his discomfort with sharing a child with another man.

Tony is the only one who can defend Steve’s virtue. Tony hates his life.

"I'm trying to like you, Tony. You're just making it very hard."
sweet dreams, sweet cheeks | Chris/Tom

The More Things Change | Steve/Tony
Steve’s not entirely sure how seduction works nowadays, but he’s learned from the best.

Tony Stark doesn’t really give a shit about Christmas. I mean, sure, he’ll enjoy a glass of nog, and he’s always thought mistletoe was a great scam, but Christmas is about home and hearth and family and nostalgia and, let’s face it. The Starks had a lot of things, but not a lot for Tony to be nostalgic about. This year, however, nostalgia is the name of the game. This year, Tony’s throwing a motherfucking party.
Sherlock BBC
all the gold and the guns | Irene/Anthea
Anthea is a shadow behind Mycroft Holmes, her thumbs swiping silently over her Blackberry keys. Unfortunately for her, Irene has always been good at seeing what's in the shadows, and she loves a woman who doesn't show fear.
Always A Neverland | Sherlock/John
John is living a quiet life at 221B with his son when Sherlock Holmes, dead and gone ten years, appears at his door. There’s an excellent reason he’s been gone, and several very good ones for taking him back, but the best one of all is Will, who falls in love with Sherlock as surely as John once did.
And Yet You Proved Me Wrong | Mycroft/Lestrade**

Where Mycroft is an angel, Sherlock is a demon, and John is still John.
Impact | Mycroft/Lestrade
Impact: The action of one object coming forcibly into contact with another.
Learn to Wear Each Other Well | Mycroft/Lestrade
Embarrassing as it is -- considering Lestrade actually is a decently intelligent and aware person despite what Sherlock insinuates at least twice a week -- he very simply does not notice someone standing in his doorway until the man clears his throat. "Detective Inspector Lestrade?" the man asks as though he already knows the answer.
Make Whole What Has Been Smashed | Sherlock/John
"Don't look at me that way, John. Blank stares are already a dreadful reminder of how hopeless other people are," Sherlock said.

Perseverance | Mycroft/Lestrade | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7
Greg Lestrade is a very patient man. Just as well, when it's so hard to get together with Mycroft Holmes.

Chess and scotch and mystery after the Reichenbach Fall.
Unlikely Connections We Make | Mycroft/Lestrade | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Being a single dad was never going to be easy, Dean knew that. He also knew that while having a role in The Hobbit was one of the biggest moves of his career, it meant being separated from his daughter for the next two years. What he wasn’t counting on, however, was falling in love.
Geek!Orlando | Viggo Mortensen/Orlando Bloom | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | epilogue | interlude i **

University student Aidan sets out to seduce his shy, dorky, mild-mannered, unbearably-sexy-yet-oblivious-to-it professor.
Overruled | Richard Armitage/Lee Pace | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | epilogue **
Working at McKellen-Weaving meant constantly toeing the gray lines. Lee was perfectly fine with that. Lee was perfectly fine with a lot of things, actually - including vying for the attentions of a man who didn't need further complications in his life.
The Road Delivered Us Home | Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23
In the years since Bilbo left Erebor, he has lost his respectability, gained a nephew, and gotten on with life at Bag End. He'd left aside adventure for the comforts and peace of his little Hobbit hole, and for the love of a child who needed him. Though perhaps, adventures can yet find him.
strung-out old starts | Richard Armitage/Lee Pace***
As the Ainur made the Second Music to reform the world - a world now called Terra by some, Earth by others - Eru Ilúvatar took the souls of all those who had ever lived and remade them into the Race of Men. Most reborn in this way don’t remember Arda. But some do. This is part of the tale of two such souls.
