Summary
Scoops Ahoy.
America’s favorite place to cool down, and quite possibly the lamest summer job under the blazing Indiana sun.
Especially if you were former High School royalty, brutally rejected by each and every university you’d applied to and promptly cut off by your shitty parents in an effort to teach: “some goddamned responsibility.”
Between accidentally intercepted secret Russian communications, a meddling preteen matchmaker with no collarbones, and increased proximity with Eddie ‘The Freak’ Munson, a measly $3 an hour plus tips is nowhere near enough to deal.

Summary
He’s pretty sure that’s when he reaches his breaking point. Everything that’s happened in the past however many days rushed into his brain like a shock of electricity. He feels his breath get shakier as he lowers himself down.
A hand cards through the profoundly greasy hair and pulls him in. He’s a little lost in thought as this happens so he just goes with it. He feels a bit weightless, as though he’s in the bathtub, sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, all slightly out of reach. It’s a freefall.
He’s falling.
God knows when he’ll fucking land.

Summary
It doesn't sink in until he's back on The Revenge, until he's staring aimlessly out at the dark seas with his hands on the wheel and Ivan asks him where Frenchie has gotten to, that they’d wanted to use him as a practice dummy for the new throwing axes they’d taken from a pirate ship that Izzy has already forgotten the name of.
“Threw him overboard,” Izzy grumbles. “We have our flag. Blackbeard has no use for him now.”
Ivan doesn’t question him.

Summary
I [25M] live with my roommate [26M]. I’m worried I might be homophobic towards him?
tl;dr: I’ve never been homophobic before, but whenever I see my gay roommate with other guys it makes me feel like shit and it’s ruining our friendship. How can I stop acting like an asshole and make things go back to normal?
---
Steve moves in with Eddie under the illusion that he's straight. Straight, and weirdly, distressingly invested in his roommate's sex life.

Summary
Once upon a time, Harry Potter hid for two hours from Dudley in a chemistry classroom, while a nice graduate student explained about the scientific method and interesting facts about acids. A pebble thrown into the water causes ripples.
Contains, in no particular order: magic candymaking, Harry falling in love with a house, evil kitten Draco Malfoy, and Hermione attempting to apply logic to the wizarding world.
