Summary
“Yes, I’m in love with you,” Lex says, like he’s explaining that the Earth is round; like this is some baseline, inalienable fact that’s not irretrievably reorganizing Clark’s existence. “I’ve never seen any reason for that to be an impediment to our friendship.”

Summary
It's not surprising that sharing a room changes things, but neither of them expect the most important conversations in their strange, awkward friendship to happen in their shared bathroom.
(Or: five conversations Dex and Nursey have in a shared bathroom, and one in bed.)

Summary
Bitty hummed, turning off the mixer, and said, “Actually, sugar, my advice is much more subtle.” He grabbed a spatula, scraping down the sides of the bowl, and then pointed it at Dex. “Stop being an ass.”
Dex squawked. “What? I am not-”
“You really are.”Or, Dex learns love through baking, and a few other things happen along the way.

Summary
“Dex still struggles with understanding different social issues, but he’s trying. He thought he was doing pretty well, too, until he realized he had a major problem named Derek Malik Nurse.”
Or, a “straight guy worries he’s being homophobic to gay roommate, realizes he’s fallen in love with him” AU.

They're content with what they have. Eric Bittle is paid well, and he's taken care of, and he takes care of his boys right back. And it's great, and it's wonderful, until it isn't. Until feelings get involved.

Summary
“Whatever happens I swear to all that is holy, I will never hate you,” Kent vowed. Then he kissed Alexei before the other man could promise the same thing—because Kent knew who he was, he knew what he was capable of drawing out in other people. He couldn’t allow Alexei to make a promise he couldn’t keep.
The journey of Kent Parson and Alexei Mashkov from draft to retirement.

Summary
Ransom is pretty sure he just ascended. He has left his body behind and moved on to a better place and he must now be in heaven, receiving his eternal rewards for the week Holster spoke only in Michael Scott quotes, because Alexei Mashkov is standing in the doorway of the Haus holding a tray of deluxe nachos from Jerry’s.

Summary
The way Nursey tells the story is, “I got a new tattoo, and Dex thought it was so hot that he literally threw himself down a bunch of stairs to keep himself from confessing his undying love for me on the spot when he saw it.”
Dex can't say he'd tell the story exactly like that, because he’d tell it in a way that preserves some of his dignity, but he can't say Nursey’s lying, either.

Summary
“Nursey!” The other kid that had arrived with Eric, with sick flow and a mustache, begins talking rather loudly to Annoyingly Attractive. “Representing Andover on the Taddy Tour! What up bro?”
The cookie turns to cardboard in Billy’s mouth. He can see it as if it was yesterday, the resigned look on Rochelle’s face as she broke up with him, the guy that walked into her room before Billy closed his computer, all sculpted brows and proud nose and striking green eyes that Billy had hated the minute he saw them.
Of course.
Of fucking course.Billy Poindexter might be great at hockey, and working hard, and annoying his sisters, but he definitely needs some help when it comes to navigating his emotions. He's not sure what's worse, still missing the girl that broke up with him over a year ago, or being on the same defensive line as the rich pretty boy asshole she was "friends" with at their preppy, private high school. As Billy becomes Dex, he not only becomes part of the team at Samwell, but learns that maybe he doesn't hate Derek Nurse so much after all.

Loosely inspired by this prompt: “I’ve been receiving all your freaking mail since you moved out and you keep getting weird gifts from your brother make it stop” AU from this list. But it's not exactly that.
OR: Five times Shitty sent gifts for Jack to Eric's address, and one time he didn't.

Summary
“Prof Martin said you were coming. You…are the French tutor, right?” she asked, now sounding unsure from the confused look on his face.
Bob rubbed the back of his neck, and later he would blame it on the fact that she was so beautiful and looked so distressed, he panicked. “Yes,” he blurted. “I’m the French tutor.”

Eric came to a halt, finally noticing what was draped over the bare, stripped mattress. He frowned, picking it up. A jacket.

Summary
It's the Fall of 2016, and the air is filled with chirps, UST, and the scent of AXE drifting from the LAX House. The weekends are filled with pumpkin carving, costume parties, and enough shenanigans to keep the SMH team on their toes. Oh, and hockey, there's a little bit of that. Dex and Nursey are sharing the attic now, have become kind of sort of best friends, and spend a lot of time pining. Secretly. For each other.
Or basically, a normal autumn in the Haus.
(Written for 13 Days of Halloween)

Summary
"Um. Dex, I'm pretty sure that your mom friended me our freshman year. Like, I'm also almost 100% sure that she friended everyone on the team. She and Bitty swap recipes all the time, she's liked every single one of Lardo's pictures, and she's always poking me... so, like, your mom is super cool, and if you don't want me to be Facebook friends with her, I'm not the one you should be taking this up with."
"First of all, my mom pokes you? What the fuck?"
