Summary
In the midst of rehearsals, set building, and prop procurement for a stormbound romance, numerous smaller—but equally important—elements unfold. Unexpected connections, tragedies, secrets, and chaos. Careful dances between alliances and mysteries, leaving you to anticipate the next turn of the tide. As the storm gathers, the question is whether Nikolai can maintain the balances between his friendships, budding feelings, and the stress of putting on a mask and facing the potential for everything to unravel around him?
or,
Nikolai has a show to perform about the exploits of Captain Sturmhond, an age-old pirate—sorry, privateer. Kaz doesn’t know who that is. Time for some education! (and other plot lines, but it’s a Kazolai fic of course they’re what the summary talks about)

Summary
The Koniortos Theater presents: SACRIFICE, a new play written and directed by Harrowhark Nonagesimus. Nonagesimus’s directorial debut is a bold, fresh take on a classic myth. Generously sponsored by the Ianthe Tridentarius Foundation for the Arts.
(tech direction by Gideon Nav)
--
Harrow has an exacting artistic vision and everything to prove. Gideon has boundaries and standards to uphold, dammit, and maybe just a little bit of a crush. Ianthe has a lot of money and some kind of inscrutable agenda. Amazingly, this fic contains no serious OSHA violations. -

Summary
Rindo didn’t know how exactly he ended up in this position, continents away from his old home.
After going from living with his mother one train ride away from Paris to helping his aunt run a flower shop in the heart of Shibuya, he felt nothing but a whirlwind of emotions since he touched down. The relationship with his mom was, plainly speaking, terrible. Not to mention that the demons he was running from when he left everything behind was the only thing he could see beneath his lids every time he tried to let himself rest. The only thing he had to keep his fraying sanity intact was his aunt’s flower shop, his passion for technical theater (and music to boot) and a mysterious boy named Fret who yanked Rindo into the eye of his own hurricane. It doesn’t help that the two end up meeting at the tail-end of many sudden situations, as if the universe itself is telling them to intertwine their lives like red strings of fate.
After a series of happenstance situations where Rindo and Fret meet in unconventional places, the two realize that maybe some demons could be hidden away from. And, maybe the feeling of knowing there was a net underneath you as you fall wasn’t something fleeting.

Summary
Thing is, Lucius could talk the talk. Of course he could. He could talk his way out of a paper bag that happened to be simultaneously on fire and drifting in the middle of the ocean. That wasn’t the problem. But faced with actually going through with it, actually enacting the bullshit, the waffle, the lust-ladened threats and the flirtatious comments… well, that was different.
And now Izzy was stood in front of him in his open doorway, bottle of wine in hand, and a soft (if slightly smug) smile on his face, and Lucius wanted to fold in that instant. Run. Run away saying ‘actually I didn’t mean it but thanks so much anyway’ and shut himself in his bedroom and never come out again. Except for when he had to see Izzy at work the next day. Well, that was going to be fucking awkward either way! Shit, he really hadn’t thought this through…
“Can I come in?”
Izzy finds out Lucius has never really bottomed. He decides he's going to rectify that for him.
The idea started out as a one shot, but I think it may grow legs. I have thoughts, ideas... I think I want this to be fast slow burn exploring their growing relationship. So tags will be updated as we go.

Summary
Another Theatre AU... that probably isn't going where you might think it's going.
***
If Nick was friends with Harry, then he was almost certainly an entitled cockwaffle. Charlie felt his momentary surge of attraction fade. This boy was clearly going to be trouble.
Strike One: Late.
Charlie caught Imogen smiling encouragingly at Nick. The freckled young man flushed slightly, and gave her a grateful smile back.
Strike Two: Straight.
“You’re just in time, Nick,” Nathan said warmly. “Now that we are all met, welcome everyone…”
Charlie turned to give their acclaimed director his full attention, but could not help but continue to observe Nick out of the corner of his eye. He was shrugging off his Carhartt jacket and placing it over the back of his chair, revealing the distinctive jersey underneath.
Charlie’s jaw clenched.
Strike Three: Rugby Lad.
That settled it.
Outside of whatever might be necessary for the good of the production, Charlie wanted absolutely nothing to do with Nick Fucking Nelson.

Summary
Loathing. A strong word for an ever stronger feeling. A feeling that was mutual between two college roommates, Hank McCoy and Alex Summers. They could not have been put in a worse situation. Random dorm assignments led them to cross paths and said paths hadn’t been able to be separated ever since. The forced proximity, clashing personalities and lifestyles had put quite the damper on the college experience for the pair, and somehow at every turn, each found the other to be inescapable. It was getting absurd. This all came to a head when Hank made the mistake of joining the Theatre department’s crew as a set designer, only to get bumped up to the position of assistant director and stage manager on Raven’s recommendation after she dropped out for personal ’issues’.
