Summary
Shane doesn’t realize he’s braced for silent eyes until he feels the absence of it — the weight of teammates immediately finding him and going quiet, waiting for him to fuck up, to say the wrong thing, to exist wrong. He expects the chatter of a room to drop when he enters and its disconcerting to find it doesn't yet in Ottawa.
He stands at the entrance a beat too long.
--
It’s the start of Shane Hollander’s first season in Ottawa and he should be settled. The Centaurs are friendly, the room is easy, and Ilya is finally close enough to touch. But, as Shane is intimately aware of, old habits learned the hard way will linger.

Summary
“Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”
“That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.
That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”

Summary
Dennis occasionally uses Grindr to get a place to sleep for the night. He takes a chance on an older guy, who ends up being kind and wonderful and fantastic in bed. Dennis wishes it could be something more, wishes they could have something real-
And then he walks into the Pitt holding his Chief Attending, Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch's coffee mug in his hand.
A companion piece to my Grindr hookup fic, First, Do No Harm - told from Dennis's POV. Not necessary to read the original story, but it might be more fun to see both sides.

Summary
Never, not in Waterdeep and not here in Baldur’s Gate, had Gale been in possession of many friends. Or any friends, if he was honest. Friendly acquaintances, of course, the ones that Mystra would allow him, and then the coworkers at the grocery store he’d worked at before the library. But he’d never been able to say he had someone eager to spend time together with him, for no purpose but his company.
If everyone knows they’re dating, if they both know they’re dating, then why should Astarion ever have to say that they’re dating?
Or, in which Gale’s pining is no where near as hopeless as his ability to read social cues or Astarion’s ability to communicate.
