Summary
Some people never say those words
I love you
It’s not their style to be so bold
Some people never say those words
I love you
But like a child, they’re longing to be told
-Paul SimonA mantra of kiss me kiss me kiss me thrummed in her brain. The air surrounding them was growing thicker by the second. Chloe felt hot and breathless like there was someone clenching her lungs in their fists. She had to get out before she did something horrifically stupid like kiss Niall on his dumb mouth.
Or:
Chloe Mack just recently moved to London from Chicago. She's friendless and homesick when she meets Niall Horan, a broke musician who's as charming as it gets and doesn't do relationships. Chloe quickly falls for him, but keeps her mouth shut rather than risk their friendship.It all goes wrong a couple of times.

Summary
When Felicity was eight years old, her father tucked her to bed. He read her a bedtime story and bid her goodnight. When she woke up the next day, he was gone. She never heard from him again.
Heartbroken, Felicity decided not to let anyone in, ever again. She just couldn’t bring herself to trust anyone.
That was until she met Ray Palmer. She fell for him, he fell for her but she still expected him to leave her. He didn’t. They got married and they were happy for a while. But deep down, she still expected him to leave her.
Little did she know that she’d be the one leaving him in the end.

Summary
Draco hated Ministry galas—especially ones held in his honour. In the years following the war, Draco had naively believed that he could numb his misery by donating to just causes. But even after charitably dividing all profits from the selling of the Manor, he still waged against the demons battling inside his head.
There was only one person who was able to placate the suffocating memories that often threatened to swallow him whole. One person who made him feel like he was more than his erroneous past. But of course, she wasn’t with him tonight. At least, not in the way that mattered.

Summary
Danny hated Vlad with a passion but he also held some sort of respect from him. Their relationship was impossibly complicated, bordering between being mortal enemies and best of allies. There have been times where Vlad was the only person in the entire world that he could relate to, both being half-dead science experiments gone wrong and all that. There have also been times where Danny wanted nothing more than to pummel Vlad’s face in and curse him to high hell.
So when Vlad came to him for a favor, Danny squinted his eyes with high distrust. He had to be civil, since he was Fenton at the moment and his parents were around, but he sure as hell wouldn’t be dropping his guard anytime soon. “Let me get this straight, you want me to join you in your rich people party as your honorary son and plus one?” Danny deadpanned.
“Yes, that’s about it.”
Or...
In which Danny Fenton has to go to Gotham to stop ghost shenanigans from ensuing.
Vlad gets a redemption arch because I genuinely think that (at first) if he only got his head out of his ass then he'd be a cool psuedo dad.No idea if I'll actually continue this, I just wanted to post what I had written so far haha...

Summary
Of all the kinds of magic, Seokjin prefers enchanters’ magic most. Loves the power to entrance and beguile, captivate and mesmerize. Loves walking into a room and knowing everyone wants to be him, be with him, or be on him.
Yet of all the kinds of magic, Seokjin practices enchanters’ magic least.
It’s just that he doesn’t need magic to charm people.
He’s good at that all on his own.
