Summary
Ellie’s been eyeing the blueberry bush by the street down the road for days now.
There’s probably hundreds of freshly ripe berries adorning the branches, growing more and more plentiful by the day. Yet, the bush is never tended to and the blueberries never eaten. At this rate, they’re all going to rot and fall off. Ellie can’t just let that happen.
Not when she hasn’t eaten in two days.
*
or: Ellie steals blueberries from the man down the street and ends up finding much more than what she came searching for.

Summary
Tommy will get to hold his kid until he grows too big, and then set him down one day and not realize it was the last until way down the road. And even then, he’ll have the opportunity to still gather his son in his arms because Joel will make sure of it.
The same way that he’ll make sure that Ellie will always get a hug before leaving the house or a kiss on her temple before bed.
It’s then that Joel feels a gear stop turning in his head, thoughts redirected to a place that halts him in his tracks.
Who held Ellie when she was a baby?
*
Joel has a crisis when he realizes that Ellie was never properly cared for as a child.
Or:
Joel who just wants to hold his girl.

Summary
It isn't uncommon for Joel to come home bearing gifts. He's always finding little trinkets on patrol that he thinks Ellie would like, or trading within Jackson's community when something that would suit her catches his eye. Ellie received items ranging anywhere from wall decor to DVDs to new bedding. She cherishes everything brought to her. The sentiment that Joel thinks about her so often lives strongly in her mind, and she loves how well he seems to know her even after such limited time.
So when Joel comes home and presents a velvety red dress adorned with a large white bow, Ellie can’t help but falter a bit.
"I was thinkin' about the holiday party comin' up and I know you were sayin' how you don't have anything to wear…”
Joel strokes a hand down the soft fabric of the gown, and there's a reminiscent glint in his eyes.
"Sarah used to have a dress just like this. I figured you could have one too."*
Ellie forcing herself to wear a dress that Joel gave her so that he can have a good holiday with a fond reminder of his deceased daughter.Or:
Ellie not understanding that she's in addition to, not in replacement of.

Summary
“I’m not gay, by the way.”
Jayce knows what he is. He knows what he likes. He knows what he dislikes, too. He has to get that out, though. Clear the air. Set the record straight. Rule out any misconceptions.
His eyes fly open when he doesn’t hear a response. If it were anyone else, he’d imagine they would have stood up and walked out of there without a second thought. Would have probably laughed in his face before they left, too. Maybe Viktor is different. Maybe he just really wants to suck his dick.
That’s just cocky, Jayce. Twenty in the Douche Bag jar, per Caitlyn’s rules.
But his declaration seems to get a rise out of Viktor because he looks up to him from down on his knees with a humorous glint in his eyes. A cheap chuckle comes from below.
“This is… this is just me broadening my horizons, you know,” Jayce adds, just to be safe. “Drunken fun is all.”
“Broadening your horizons,” Viktor says flatly. “Whatever you say, birthday boy.”
—
A story in which Jayce discovers that getting your dick sucked by a hot stranger at the club and falling in love with him does, in fact, make you gay. OR; Jayce experiences a bisexual crisis at the age of twenty-five.

Summary
“Shane. You know you are my baby. My soulmate, my reason for living.”
There are many reactions to being called such sweet things, but a wail is definitely not one of them. The sound Shane makes is unmistakably upset. A lamenting groan loud enough for the whole table to hear, a sound sober Shane would never make on pain of death.
“How is that the wrong answer?” Bood asks, bemused.
Or, Shane is jealous that he isn't Ilya's best friend (even though he is).

Summary
“Hello,” Ilya repeats, still kind of stuck on those freckles.
“Hi?” the man says.
“Hi,” Ilya says—again.
Oh god, he's said hello three times now. He should literally say anything else. His name, probably. His phone number, preferably.
“Hi,” Ilya says again, because he can’t help it. “I am—”
“Are you Nick?” the man asks, and it comes out as a breathless sound.
OR: Shane gets stood up on a blind date, and Ilya comes to the rescue, and proceeds to make a series of questionable decisions.

Summary
“Ah.”
“‘Ah’,” Ilya repeats, giving him a look before he looks back to the tidily stacked frozen mouse packages in the freezer and makes a face as a little badly-hidden shudder moves through him. “Why the fuck do you have mice in your freezer, Shane? You are doing serial killer shit now? This is why you have cottage in the middle of nowhere? For serial killer things?”
“It’s for Spaghetti,” Shane says.
Ilya gives him an absolutely horrified look at that and turns a little green, which makes him remember that Spaghetti isn’t just his snake's name.
“Not food!” He rushes to explain. “Not food spaghetti! Snake Spaghetti!”
“What the fuck are you even saying right now,” Ilya says, looking honestly a little concerned that Shane might have something going wrong in his head.
(Distancing himself from almost twenty years of owning a snake, Shane can indeed see why this situation might be a little alarming for someone on the outside looking in.)
(It also clues him in to the fact that maybe it’s not just Spaghetti who should have gotten a little adjustment period.)
(in which i give shane allergies AND a snake)

Summary
“You can’t go two weeks without fucking me anyways,” Shane heard himself saying, and instantly felt like he’d chosen the wrong dialogue option. He should’ve said something like I’d like to see all the ways you can figure it out or maybe not sharing a room has never stopped us before.
Ilya let out a laugh, “Please, you beg for me all the time.”
“I’m not the one who can’t go more than a day without jerking off —” shut up Hollander, SHUT UP “I can totally go two weeks without fucking.”
The Centaurs do a rotational room program for their first road trip of the season. Which would be fine if Ilya and Shane could be professionals.
Shane starts a fight and gets a Dick Trick, Ilya is a mastermind, Bood becomes an Queer Icon, Troy has no idea what's going on, Hayes is having the time of his life, and no one wants to talk about the showers thing anymore.
Now with Prequel, but stands alone.
