Type: Non-magic, High School AU
Summary: They’re walking side by side, crowded on the too small pavement. The hum of the late-September air rustling the leaves and pushing them both along. There’s music faraway and hushed, floating through someone’s window, too quiet to place but Remus focuses on it instead of their boots echoing off the concrete and Sirius’ breathing, skittered and offbeat from his own. The sun is setting, the lamplights along the pavement lighting every fifteenth square in a sickly yellow glow. Everytime they pass under one, the light creates shadows on Sirius’ face. Remus tries not to notice the long, spindly shadows of his eyelashes, the accentuated concave of his cheekbone, and the way the light envelopes the tips of Sirius’ hair in gold, embers around black, like he’s on fire. But Remus has never been good at ignoring Sirius— even now, with anxiety filling his stomach like rainwater and a fit of pique low and twisting beneath his ribs, even now, he wants to reach out and tuck a strand behind Sirius’ ear, let himself be burned.
or:
Remus has never been good at ignoring Sirius and maybe, just maybe, he finds he doesn't want to ignore these feelings any longer.
Comments: I was a little bit in before I realized this was a high school au, which usually doesn’t interest me, but by then I was already hooked. The friendship, the pining, the characters (another great Lily!) - all perfect. It actually had me giggling at the cuteness on display. Something in the way this author writes had me so invested in the story, too; I’ll definitely be reading more of their works.

*in the middle of the exam*
Geralt: *trying to solve a formula* Psss... Eskel... Pass me the three...
Eskel: *ignoring him because he knows he will be blamed if he answers*
Geralt: Traitor... Lamb... Better not, he didn't even bring the backpack...
Jaskier: *sighs when he sees his boyfriend, passes him a note with the answers*
Geralt: not now Jaskier, I'm trying to solve this... *Saves the note for later*
And so that day Geralt and Jaskier ended up fighting, Geralt ended up failing the exam along with Lambert, and now Eskel and Jaskier went for ice cream.

AU: High school
(Adriana’s POV)
***
Adriana got detention for clocking Ana Flores in the face who was talking shit and spreading rumors about Sophia and her friend Shannon behind their backs. Unfortunately for her, Adriana stood right behind her at one of such speeches. Ana’s permanently crooked nose will forever remind her to keep her opinions to herself.
Buck got detention for filling Taylor Kelly’s locker with sewer water balloons after she posted an article about his friends Hen and Chimney with a story of an incident that happened at their previous school between them and some kid named Jonah Greenway who’s in a juvie now.
Buck and Adriana hit it off fast and soon became best friends. Her older brother was really grumpy about that.
***
Eddie is really suspicious of this Buckley kid, who after Adriana’s fight with some snooty brat, hangs out now with his sister all the damn time. Like, what are his intentions, huh? Like hell he will allow them sit in Adriana’s room with a closed door, nah-ah. No, sir! Not on his watch.
Never mind that Adriana was not interested in relationship with anyone. That’s just how she is.
Never mind that Buck gives Eddie, as Adriana likes to call them, stupid heart eyes every time they saw each other.
***
Or the one with a feral best friend Adriana, oblivious and grumpy but smitten Eddie, and awkward but determined and very much in love Buck.

If someone's interested in writing this, please tag me when you're done.

My favorite fics are soft andriel, and teen andriel.
Here’s my recs:
Raised on little light by maqicien
Falling is a lot like drowning by chaoticas_hell
This wasn’t in the prophecy (series) by Arirmis
(Account locked) Raise me up so you can watch me fall by Yes_No_ofcourse
And this last one is angst and dark but I do love it
Hiding scars under exy gear By rinz
Wow, that’s a lot of recs in one submission! Usually we just get one or two 🤣. - S
You can find some of those fics here:
‘Raised on Little Light’ here (since updated)
‘Falling Is A Lot Like Drowning’ here (since updated)
‘Raise me up so you can watch me fall’ here (locked, now complete)
This wasn’t in the prophecy by Arirmis [Rated T/M, 73294 words, incomplete, last updated Feb 2024]
Percy Jackson AU where all of the foxes are demigods, Andrew meets Neil shortly after his mom dies, and joins him on the run instead of going back to camp.
Part one spans from their first meeting to their first kiss;
Part two will take place a few years later, when certain circumstances force them to return to camp, and Andrew has to deal with what he left behind, on top of their current problem.
While both fics should be able to be read individually, it does make more sense if you read them in order :)
Part 1: Cross your fingers, here we go (T, 25037 words, complete)
Millport is a horrible, dry as fuck little town in the vast nothingness of the dust hole that is Arizona, and Andrew hates it with vigor.
He has been tracking a horde of Manticores for weeks now, and isn’t that something? A half-blood having to chase after the monsters. He is starting to feel like one of Renee’s hunters, when Andrew is pretty sure the nasty scorpion-cats should want to kill him more then he wants to kill them.
Or, Andrew expected to find all sorts of things on his first quest. He didn’t expect a twitchy, blue-eyed half-blood with monsters on his heels, and he surely didn’t expect to fall in love with him.
tw: implied/referenced child abuse, tw: implied/referenced rape/non-con, tw: implied/referenced torture, tw: implied/referenced self harm, tw: child neglect, tw: assumed character death
Part 2: Mortal Bodies, Timeless Souls (M, 48257 words, incomplete)
„Minyard! Get your ass up and put some armor on! Abby, Greene, get the infirmary in shape, border control just spotted a motherfucking Drakon in the woods!“
As if Wymack’s order triggered it, a ear grating screech echoes all the way to the big house.
The camp counselor curses.
„Move it people, there are half-bloods out there that need to get to safety!“
Or, for two and a half years, Aaron has been grieving the brother he buried, only to learn now, that Andrew is very much alive. He also has a scarred little shithead in tow, that Aaron wants to punch in the face regularily. Life is fun like that.
tw: blood, tw: violence, tw: implied/referenced child abuse, tw: implied/referenced rape/non-con, tw: implied/referenced torture, tw: implied/referenced self harm, tw: child neglect, tw: assumed character death, tw: vomit
Hiding scars (under exy gear) by rinz [Rated M, 34309 words, incomplete, last updated March 2024]
Juggling a mobster serial killer household and high school is harder than Neil had anticipated. and that goth kid on the roof really needs to mind his own business.
OR
a high school AU where neil and mary never run from nathan and neil meets the foxes in private high school instead.
tw: implied/referenced child abuse, tw: implied/referenced rape/noncon, tw: implied/referenced self harm, tw: imlied/referenced torture, tw: graphic violence

@twinfoxtails continued from here
“Nah, I’ll be fine. I’m not gonna trip over.” Even if it is a little harder to walk around in it, Reimu is stubborn and is being as careful as she can while trying to move to her classes.
“I asked Sakuya to help me stitch my bow onto this thing so that people will know it’s me. I would’ve asked Alice, but even just saying hi to her today she looked like she wanted to scream. I didn’t wanna spend too much time putting something bigger together. That’s not really my thing.”
As she speaks, some crinkling sounds can be heard from underneath the sheet before she pulls it up a bit. Out sticks out her hand holding a lolipop shaped like a white fox head. One of the many designs that the Hakurei shrine had been handing out this year for Halloween. Thankfully they allowed Reimu to take some to give to her friends.
“Here. For you.”
