Summary
Oh Sehun is your average stressed, depressed, somewhat well dressed post-grad who has managed to land a project at a biomedical engineering lab. The research is interesting, but even more so is his love life—especially since not-so-average PhD student Kim Jongin's blushing, shy smile makes Sehun wish Son Youngjae would stop flirting with him in the walk-in freezer every morning.

Summary
"Slowly but surely, their weeks start to take shape. It’s ass-backward course design, and Ava still has no idea how they’re going to frame the class or if there’s any thread running through it that isn’t just 'texts your two professors managed not to kill each other over,' but it’s something. Progress."

Summary
Five are the wildfires
Playing through the night
We know one of them
Will surely have to dieFour are the starlights
You have left behind
Their pain is a memory
that shines so clear and brightThree are the years
the deadly pass of time
Regret is a bloom
That rips your soul apartTwo are the people
that answer to your name
the mask of the past
you are now left to tame.One is the earth,
the chaos and the dark
the shape of the void
that wants to eat your heart.

Summary
Shelby Goodkind is getting her PhD in queer studies, but her parents don’t know that yet. Then she meets Toni Shalifoe, a PhD candidate who’s in her GSS seminar. When they continue dominating class with their (frankly, pedantic) arguments, their instructor presents them with a punishment: they have to co-write the final seminar paper worth 80% of their grade. Feelings come to the surface, and Shelby has to face her family’s disapproval more directly than she ever has before.
OR: the AU where Shelby and Toni are grad students who hate each other but love each other, and Shelby learns how to deal with her family trauma for real.

Rey looked at the envelope. It was thick, heavy paper, and reminded her of a wedding invitation. Her address was written in calligraphy, in dark blue ink. The return address only said “Exegol House”.
A modern startup AU with Lovecraftian elements.

Summary
Tom slides his finger under the envelope flap that Greg has tucked in rather than sealed shut, and flicks it open. The card inside is quaintly retro, a picture of two eggs with cutesy faces holding hands in a frying pan. The frying pan is surrounded by a red heart trimmed with white lace, and written in block capitals along the edge reads ‘MAYBE I’M JUST SMALL FRY, BUT I’M A GOOD EGG WITH A HEART OF GOLD, BE MY VALENTINE’.

Summary
Professor Thomas A. Anderson and Dr. Tiffany R. Chadwick meet again. Technically a spinoff of chapter three of my other equally ridiculous fic, I shall suffer and act again.
(I kind of wrote myself into a corner because I said they had never really interacted before the events of that fic, so let's just say this is another version of that same sim???)

Social organization and adaptability in Xenoerpeton anthropoides: transference of social bonding habits and mate selection by Liquid_Lyrium

Summary
Publish or perish has never been more apt. Professor Aziraphale Eastwise finds himself in the privileged position to engage with a Xenoerpeton anthropoides (or merlotl). An elusive, semiaquatic evolutionary cousin shrouded in mystery. And the answers he receives aren’t what he expects of a simple creature—even one who is human-like.
Crowley is a social pariah among his kind who is undeniably funny, curious, sensitive, and intelligent. His discovery of the depths of merlotl thought could cement his fame and renown for decades to come, but this opportunity comes at a cost—Aziraphale is trapped in a cave with slowly dwindling supplies and rapidly diminishing hope. The longer he’s trapped, the more he finds himself considering questions of a forbidden nature. Questions that can’t possibly be ethical. Or wanted. Besides, surely it isn’t productive to even consider what attraction or mating behaviors look like in merlotl. After all, if a primate and an amphibious creature fell in love, where would they live? And Aziraphale needs rescue soon.
Or: How budget cuts lead to the discovery of a century—and Aziraphale's heart. A story about falling in love with the subject of one’s research grant.
