hold the things you wanna say

by SailorChibi

Tony is still a consultant, and between SI, the team and SHIELD he's overworked and exhausted. That's okay. He and Steve have been having sex for weeks but that's all it is, just sex, and Tony wants more but he'll never get it and that's okay. Really. What's not okay is the fact that Howard Stark has somehow appeared in the future and is the same as always. This is definitely going to fuck up his schedule.

feathers come in all shapes and sizes

by HaloRocks1214

How Grian cleaned his wings was an enigma even to himself. It was hard to tell if they were actually "wings" in the normal sense considering how he got them, and then there was the fact that there was no guessing what could happen if others figured out how they came to be as well. It didn't matter, though, because Mumbo was a great friend who covered Grian's back by using that freaky brain of his to help solve everything. Too bad Grian's little girl was simultaneously a little shit who liked to cause problems. Like father like daughter, he supposed. (AKA a 5+1 fic where five times Grian has "no choice" but to ask the others for help, and one time he... decides he kind of does.) Scar

How He Says "I Love You" (Words of Affirmation)

by TheCourtSorcerer

“Merlin, did you try something new when polishing my armour this morning?” Arthur’s voice startled Merlin out of his daydream. A shame, really, it was a wonderful one with Aithusa and Arthur and— “Merlin!” --- "People with words of affirmation as a love language value verbal acknowledgments of affection, including frequent "I love you's," compliments, words of appreciation, verbal encouragement, and often frequent digital communication like texting and social media engagement." - https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/the-5-love-languages-explained --- 5 times Arthur compliments Merlin + 1 time Merlin understands what he means

no mind to lose

by Iselmyr

“I do miss when you had more hair, it was lovely,” Aziraphale says, studying Crowley meditatively over the top of his book. They’re sitting in the back room of the shop, not doing anything in particular, and Crowley has done absolutely nothing to deserve a comment like that.“Ssorry?” Crowley says, startled into half a hiss, because the only reasonable answer is that he was daydreaming or something, slipped off into another world while staring at the ceiling and thinking about nothing, and misheard very dramatically.

Competitive Complimenting

by dearericbittle (dutchmoxie)

Derek is in love with Stiles - not that Stiles has even the slightest clue. He’d know if he were a wolf, but he’s painfully human. Which means that Derek is going to have to use his words. Which means: complimenting Stiles. How did that turn into a competition, though? Only Stiles.

Flirt It Up, Lover Boy

by angelscas

Dean was flirting with him, right? Cas was pretty sure it was flirting. Okay, maybe Cas hadn’t understood what all of Dean's teasing actions and flirty touches initially meant. But Cas wants Dean just as much as Dean wants Cas. And okay, sue him, Cas may have picked up a magazine while waiting for Dean in a gas station with a headlining article that said: How to Know if He’s Secretly Into You. Following the magazines four-step plan, Cas flirts it up a storm, tempting Dean into finally making a move that they've both been so desperately waiting for.

a sprinkle of sweetness

by Izcana

The day started as normal. Derek shrugged on a green Henley, rolling his eyes at the chatter from downstairs. The pack was staying over, and boy, did they make a lot of noise and a big mess.Normally, Derek wouldn't care, seeing that he never spends a lot of time downstairs anyway, but he cares this time, for some absurd reason. (Not because Stiles has to clean up after them, he told himself firmly.) OR 5 times Stiles complimented Derek indirectly and 1 time he shouted the praise from the rooftops (literally).

Vision

by syriala

“Don’t tell me I fight well when I just lost and don’t ever imply that I am favouring Zidian over Sandu ever again,” he hisses out and when he sees Nie Mingjue’s surprised look on his face, Jiang Cheng quickly turns away. “Wanyin,” Nie Mingjue calls after him, and the informality stops Jiang Cheng in his steps. “I haven’t had a fight like this in a while. Not many people can hold out against me for as long as you did. Of course you fight well. And I didn’t mean anything with my comment about Zidian; it’s a spiritual tool and you wield it well. That’s all,” Nie Mingjue explains, almost awkwardly, and Jiang Cheng wants to leave, he really does, but he’s rooted to the spot. “Is that the problem?” Nie Mingjue asks and it sounds like he came closer, though Jiang Cheng didn’t hear any footsteps. “Have I offended you all this time without knowing?” Nie Mingjue wants to know and Jiang Cheng lets out a hard breath.
