    Summary

    Lily: Sorry, I didn’t get to say goodbye

    Shane had found the message sweet despite his disappointment. Now it just feels… ominous.

    That’s usually the point when Shane has to get out of bed and pace around his bedroom and remind himself that, if Ilya is ghosting him (he is not, he’s not, he’s not), then he is also ghosting the rest of the fucking world. Because that is the thing that truly, really, terrifies him.

    No one has heard of Ilya Rozanov in nearly three weeks.

    Shane hasn’t been getting much sleep lately.

    Or:

    After Tampa. Things between Shane and Ilya are finally starting to look stable… until Ilya drops off the face of the Earth with little warning. Shane spirals (a lot) and decides he’s going to find his man if it’s the last thing he does.

    Summary

    When Impulse receives a funky radio as a birthday present from his best friends and roommates Gem and Pearl, he doesn't expect to find himself enamoured by the charming host of a small radio station. As a small crush develops even further, he finds himself conflicted as to how he can love someone who is basically a stranger.

    Meanwhile, Skizz is desperate for this radio gig to start earning so he can quit his soul-sucking job and spend his days doing what he loves - making people laugh. It's quite a way off, the number zero next to the listener count is quite a sore subject for him but when that number ticks up to one he finds a sense of hope that he hasn't felt for a long time.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, Grian,” Scar repeated. “Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?”

    For a moment, Scar thought he saw Grian’s gaze dip again, but with distance between them, and the glare from a lamp on the other man’s glasses, he couldn’t be entirely sure. It made his heart squeeze all the same.

    Grian straightened, huffing, “No.”

    Scar hesitated. “Are you sure?”

    “Positive,” Grian said. He leaned into the couch cushions, his countenance changing with the wave of a hand. His face relaxed, his legs crossed in front of him, and a wide smile split his lips. “You’ll pay for what you’ve done in due time.”

    - or -

    After an April Fool's Day prank goes wrong, and his fake flirting attempts go south, Scar has to endure an entire day of Grian giving him a taste of his own medicine.

    Summary

    “Who’s that? The guy with the white wings?” He asks Tango, turning to face the blaze. Tango messes with a few more buttons before he answers Impulse, raising an eyebrow suspiciously.

    “Why do you wanna know?”

    “He looks…” Impulse trails off, trying to find the right words, “Interesting.”

    Or: Skizz is a new actor for Hermit Productions with a lead role. Impulse is just the lights guy (TM).

    Summary

    As if he recognised Impulse’s apprehension, Skizz reduced his wide grin to a friendly smile. “I saw you when I walked in and thought all your piercings were super sick. And I didn’t know anyone, so I figured I may as well talk to someone new,” His wings shuddered slightly. “I hope that’s okay with you?”

    Impulse was shocked at how friendly Skizz was. In the three years he had been at this high school and the many years of knowing some of the other students from grade school, no one had ever paid this much attention to him. “Oh, that’s nice of you to say, and yeah sure it’s fine,” he responded, hoping his pause wasn’t too noticeable.

    “Okay, that’s great! See you around, homie!” Skizz chirped before picking up his bag and walking out of class, leaving Impulse there to contemplate what just happened to him.

     

    or: impulse has spent his high school career avoiding attention from everybody, but what happens when someone actually wants to know him?
