loving you {leaves me hurt}
A/N You should probably listen to DriveĀ by Oh Wonder to clue in even earlier about Logan and Romanās positions in this fic. Also, I really like this one.
Pairing: background/mentioned moxiety, one-sided royality, one-sided logince
Genre: angst, some hurt/comfort (but mostly angst. even when thereās comforting thereās underlying angst whoops.)
Word Count: 1640
Warnings: putting self in dangerous situations, swearing, cryingā¦ ANGST
Summary:
Roman canāt understand why Logan cares because he thinks he hates him. Logan doesnāt disagree, but he also doesnāt leave.Ā
Roman blindly grabs a blade from his collection and lets his room fade into a training arena. Opposite him is a straw dummy, held together with strings and rags. With a snap of his fingers, music starts blaring, and he charges at the object.
He swings his sword with no precision and little care, letting his hurt fuel his rage which in turn fuels his strikes, effectively destroying his creation in mere moments. He waves a hand and it resets, and he goes at it again, relishing in the tearing sound the rags make and the clang of the sword against the metal pole holding up the dummy. The jarring pain of his arms whenever this happens gives Roman something tangible to focus on, and he finds himself hitting the pole more. He canāt distinguish whether or not heās doing it on purpose, but it doesnāt matter, because the dummy is unrecognisable again.

hold your breath until itās okay
A/N This took so long. Iāve been working on this. For. A. Month. Background for this: the sides are detectives. hereās the character post: x
Pairing: fuck if I know. Moxiety (platonic? romantic? idk.), prinxiety (one-sided/implied), logince (platonic i guess) and analogical (also platonic maybe?). just. just take it.
Genre: angst, fluff, humour, hurt/comfort, au, human au, brooklyn nine nine au, detective au (etc)
Word Count: 9530
Warnings: dear god okay DISCLAIMER the following does not apply to the sides: abuse, child abuse, murderers and murders, kidnapping, drug mention, drug use mention (probably? i canāt remember). the following DOES: swearing, gun use, serious injuries, getting shot, fightingā¦ i think that covers it?
Read on AO3: xĀ (fic is separated into chapters for easier reading but please reblog this post if you do read it!)
Summary:
Five times they closed a case without anyone getting hurt and the one time they didnāt.
1
Virgil was working harder than usual. The case Logan had assigned him was a tough one ā no witnesses and no solid leads as of yet. He scanned the pictures he had been given of the crime scene again, but nothing had changed. The dead body of 22-year-old Kelly Parkins laid sprawled across her carpeted floor, blood staining her once-lovely blue dress and spilling out of what the medical examiner had confirmed as a stab wound. Most likely a kitchen knife. Not hers, though.
He winced as he forced himself to study the image yet again. The woman was so young. She still had so much life left to live and for it to be so crudely taken-
Virgil sighed and screwed his eyes shut. He would not allow himself to be affected like this ā this was just the same-old, same-old. It wasnāt as if this was his first case like this, so why was he so upset? Must be the late hour, he decided with a yawn, and let his eyes drift over to the time on the computer screen. ā2:08,ā it blinked at him. Whoops.

The Things We Lost in Those We Loved
A/N This fic takes place in the same universe as They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. If you like this I urge you to read it. Also! Deckers are people who have gotten the call from Death-Cast that day and Death-Cast is the company that alerts people that theyāre going to die that day so they canĀ ālive their last day to the fullestā. Another thing - Deceit doesnāt mcfucking exist.
Genre: angst, some fluff, human!au, death cast!au
Pairing: romantic LAMP
Word Count: 4177
Warnings: talk of death, death mention, heavily implied character death, panic attack, its just really fucking sad okay
Summary:
Virgil gets a call from Death-Cast at 12:32 a.m. telling him he will die today. Heās determined to have one last day with his boyfriends. (The only thing is, he doesnāt tell them itās his last day.)
Virgil Sanders is going to die today.
He is not old and he is not sick, and he is certainly not a risk-taker. The most dangerous thing about him is that he has an anxiety disorder, but even that should mean he will be fine.
But he wonāt be.
Virgil Sanders knows he will die today, and this time he isnāt over-exaggerating due to some embarrassing event or due to him forgetting to study for an exam until the morning before.
He knows because it had just turned 12:32 a.m. when his phone starts to ring.
At first this doesnāt really register with him, and he takes his time in answering. He assumes itās one of his boyfriends. Probably Patton telling him to go to bed, he muses with a smile on his face as he pauses his show and performs the mandatory search for his phone. The object in question is tucked under layers of blankets.
He picks it up, brings the screen into view, and he doesnāt realise why heās suddenly frozen until the time on his phone reads 12:33.
DEATH-CAST is calling.

Ache
A/N Rewrite of a bfu fic in order to suit human!au analogical where they both work for a production company.
Pairing: analogical
Genre: human!au, angst, happy ending
Word Count: 2618
Warnings: minor self-deprecation (from logan, not virgil, gasp)
Summary:Ā Virge is everything he canāt have. Logan tells himself heās okay with that, for the most part. (He watches Virgil laugh at one of his clueless remarks, and he isnāt. He isnāt okay with that at all.)
- In other words, Virgil is working hard on a video and is ignoring the world. Logan, as a member of the world, isnāt very happy about this.
-
Logan arrives at work with two coffees in his hands. He smiles when he sees Virgil already at the desk beside his, but then it drops once he realises heās hunched over and frantically tapping away at his keyboard.
So itās one of those days, huh.
Logan can tell that Virgilās already been here for hours, even though their shifts start at the same time, and he knows from experience that heāll be here long after Logan leaves.
Virgil gets like this sometimes ā often when heās stressed, which is usually due to a video the production company they work for asked Virgil to do. Logan doesnāt approve of the way he pushes himself, but heās learnt not to say anything about it. Any attempt at non-work-related conversation is met with a grunt, or, if itās particularly unproductive, a vicious glare that sends chills down his spine. Even Loganās not that bad.
Thatās why instead of making a joke at how awful Virgil looks (even though he doesnāt look awful at all, despite the deep bruises under his eyes portraying utter exhaustion), Logan only sets down Virgilās coffee beside the man and plonks himself at his desk. And no, he does not look over to check up on his friend every two seconds. Because he doesnāt miss him. Because that would be ridiculous.

Grand Ami
A/N For @organizeddiscordĀ ās prinxiety fluff prompt. Sorry for any mistakes in the French! This is a rewrite of an old fic of mine for another fandom.
Pairing: prinxiety
Genre: fluff, human!au, highschool!au, asexual!roman
Word Count: 3.1k
Warnings: none
Summary:Ā
Virgil is dating Roman and today is the day he was finally going to meet his parents. Of course heās nervous, who wouldnāt be? He wants to make a good impression. This may be made a tiny bit harder by the fact that Virgilās terrible at French and thatās mostly what Romanās parents speak.
Today was the day Virgil was finally going to meet Romanās parents. Over the course of the past two years, the boys had grown increasingly close, ever since they were first introduced. Some might have thought that basically two years of knowing each other and almost five months of dating wouldāve resulted in already having met each otherās parents, but there was a reason for that not being the case.
Romanās family had moved from Lyon, France to Florida at the start of last year. Being younger and frankly more interested in English, the melodramatic teen had perfected the language (and often found himself using archaic English just to seem more prince-like, much to Virgil and their friend Loganās chagrin). Despite Romanās practically flawless bilingual status, his parents were a different story, according to him. It wasnāt like they couldnāt speak it, more so that they wanted to make a good impression and were worried they would embarrass themselves (which Virgil was still entirely convinced Roman had made up just to make him feel better).

love.
A/N can be read as platonic or romantic love.
virgilās name is anxiety. he wears all black and he pretends that his eyeshadow comes from a pallet, not the way his room forces him to be. heās scary and mean, and heās blamed for everything. he loves nothing and no one.
heās not part of their group. heās not part of any group. heās hated too much by both to even consider that he has a place. and heās fine with that. social interaction makes him anxious. plus, morality, logic and prince are soā¦ vibrant. heās monochromatic. he doesnāt belong with them.
the othersā¦ theyāre meaner than he is, with sharper tongues and backhanded insults. they also have their own garish colours. so anxietyās fine with his all black wardrobe, thank you very much.
-
heās still anxiety. heās upgraded from a menace to a nuisance but itās okay because occasionally heās funny or brings a valid point to the table. he finds himself showing up more and more, yet he keeps his insults pointed. itās pretty clear heās the antagonist, so he plays into it. when asked who he loves, he doesnāt reply.
heās blending in, a bit. then again, black can be easily paired with several colours. that doesnāt mean anything. it just means theyāre tolerating his presence - keeping him close to keep him in check, more likely.
anxiety doesnāt even think about the others anymore. instead, he thinks about disney arguments with roman, cookies with patton and debates with logan. itās a truce, of sorts. nothing permanent. and heās okay with that. really.
-
he swears anxiety will always remain anxiety. heās a debbie downer, a defeatist, and whatever else is thrown at him. heās shoved back into the role of the villain, and it scares him how seamlessly he fades into it. heās got messy hair and dark clothes, and while the sides may love each other they donāt love him.
itās more than clear they donāt want him here. he confessed how much he hated flying and was immediately made to do so, before being punched down to the ground by the hero. his chest aches, but not because of the fall.
he wonders if thereās a way for him to stay around without having to endure the insults, when it hits him. heās not necessary. he never was. maybe hisā¦ other acquaintances had the right idea in remaining concealed. he looks at the unfinished hoodie and realises that if he leaves, the purple patches will never see the light of day. but some things you just have to accept.
-
he doesnāt have a name. he isnāt anything. itās dark and empty here, but thatās okay. his goal was to help thomas all along, and if this is how he can manage itā¦ he comes to the conclusion that love isnāt for someone like him.
he tries his best not to think about roman, logan and patton. they hurt him. they donāt like him. hell, they donāt even tolerate him. not anymore. he gets it - he pushed it. he started showing up more and participating, but who wants more anxiety?
in the dark, red and two distinct shades of blue enter. though he swore heād let them go, he materialises to save them. he has to.
-
his name is virgil. he wears a purple shirt and hoodie to match the dyed hair on top. heās loganpattonromanandvirgil, but not just that. heās also pattonromanvirgilandlogan, romanvirgilloganandpatton and every other variation. itās no secret the sides love each other. virgil just doesnāt have the words to tell them yet.
theyāre all trying. roman cuts back his insults, patton does his best to include him and logan keeps him grounded. they think heās important. they think- he isĀ one of them. and he is, even if he steps out of line. heās learning that they all do that, now and again, and he knows how to help.
everyoneās aware of deceit now, and he has no doubt that more will follow. but thatās okay, because they have each other.
-
his name is virgil. he wears all purple and he no longer pretends that their words donāt effect him, and instead voices when heās uncomfortable. heās relatable and chill, and heās accepted just the way he is. he loves the sides so much, it scares him.
he goes along with their gambits, such as puppets and musicals about jam, because watching them have funā¦ it warms him. purple looks good in the mix of colours, and he rarely spends an afternoon alone.
he almost slips up and uses the l-word. theyāre not stupid, so he knows that the others caught that. itās okay though, because both roman and thomas used it, pattonās always been open about how much he cares for them andā¦ well, logan is emotionally stunted. heās part of the puzzle - part of their puzzle. and when the time comes that he messes up completely (or, somehow, makes the conscious decision to say it), virgil knows he wonāt be alone.
because he loves them, and they love him too.

homesick. [logince singer!au]
A/N a while ago i was feeling really homesick and wanted to write a fic off of it. @figurative-falsehood suggested i write logince, so here we are.
Pairing: logince (Logan/Roman)
Genre: human au; singer au (roman); mild hurt/comfort; fluff; drabble
Word Count: 794
Warnings: none (if i missed any, please tell me)
Summary:
Romanās been on tour for a month. It begins to hurt a little.
-
The crowd before him screams out his name and wave banners proclaiming their love for Roman as he performs with his entire being. The mass of people pulsate with each hit of the drum and shout along to Romanās choruses. The energy they radiate keeps him moving throughout the entire concert and it fills him up with so much love that he feels like heās floating. He laughs and he jokes and he dodges the various items thrown onstage: never anything bad, but itās still awkward when he has to step around a bra.
Heās super taken and super gay, thank you very much.
When the concert winds down, he thanks everyone for coming to see him (even after all these years, it blows him away) and his smile widens at the answering roar. He gives a wave and jogs offstage as the high saps from him and his shoulders drop.
Twenty minutes later, and heās slumped against the inside of a limousine desperately tapping his screen in an attempt to get FaceTime to work.

Nerd-Themed
A/N an anon asked for a remy/logan soulmate fic and Here We Are. @transkleinman and @pattons-cat-hoodie i saw you two express interest in the pairing so i hope you donāt mind me tagging you!
Pairing: Remy/Logan (regan? lomy? lemy??)
Genre: human au, soulmate au, fluff, proposal
Word Count: 2021
Warnings: none (tell me if i missed any)
Summary:
Loganās a college professor just trying to look professional. Remy is his boyfriend who gets covered in coffee stains and pen ink, and due to their soulmate bond, it appears on Logan too. Loganās students are interested in what his soulmate is shopping for.
-
Logan has a routine.
On most mornings, heāll wake up at precisely 7 to his boyfriend clattering about the apartment. Heāll take his clothes into the bathroom and shower with cold water for no longer than 5 minutes. Then, heāll make sure the metallic taps are twisted closed as tight as possible. Heāll reach up and grab one of the dark blue towels hanging over the glass shower wall to dry his hair, then heāll use the other on his body.
Once heās finished, heāll step out and get changed into his daily attire - often his favourite vibrant blue tie, a black polo of sorts and either jeans or slacks, depending on what the day necessitates.
He is a college professor after all - the students donāt care too much about what pants he wears, but if he has a meeting with his colleagues, heāll put in the extra effort.
Looking professional is vital.
That is just one of the reasons why his soulmate is possibly the most annoying person on earth.

Everything Stays
A/N Heavily inspired by Rebecca Sugarās Everything Stays, which Iāve been wanting to write this fic for for over a year.
Warnings: past character death, implied heart disease, grief and implications of depression
Word Count: 1.9k
Pairing: royality (Roman/Patton)
Genre: sAD,, heavy angst and a whole lot of hurt, some comfort, bitter sweet ending
Excerpt:
āWellā¦ā Patton pauses, mulling over his words. āI donāt want my absence to cause you pain. Not that Iām planning on going anywhere! I just think that you have so many people who love you, Roman, and a whole world out there for you. You canātā¦ You canāt devote your entire self and essence to one person, you know what I mean?ā
āNot really, no.ā
-
He hears a laugh; full of giggles and pure happiness. His heart swells as he follows the sound, making his way past their homely fireplace and cozy couches where they had spent so many nights cuddled up together on. The back door of the kitchen is slightly ajar, and he pushes it open to reveal the garden outside.
There, surrounded by fuzzy, golden light is-
Roman wakes up with a gasp. His bedroom is cold and dark. Big and empty. He raises one weary hand to his cheek and feels the wetness there.

Infinitesimal (Part I)
A/N Infinitesimal (originally titled in a haze asĀ āLOGAN IS BARRY BLUEJEANSā) is a Sanders Sides AU set in the world of The Adventure Zone: Balance, a DnD podcast made by the McElroy brothers. If you have not started The Stolen Century arc and donāt want spoilers, do not read.
Pairing: eventual logince (Logan/Roman)
Genre: scifi; slowburn
Warnings: temporary character death; TAZ-canon-typical violence
Word Count: 7.5k
Summary:
Logan had always thought that being a human meant he had to work harder and faster than everyone else to truly make a difference in the world. When his home is consumed by an intergalactic force known as The Hunger and heās forced to go on the run through space with six others for a century, he realises that thatās not exactly true.
Or, Logan accepts an offer to join the Institute of Planar Research and Exploration and to travel around the mysterious planes that control his planet for a few months, but ends up hopping realities and dying a whole bunch alongside his mismatched crew members, learning how to love somewhere along the way.
-
Logan knows that, as a human, he has certain limitations in this world. For one thing, his 80-year expected lifespan is nothing compared to the centuries-old elves and dwarves who are considered teenagers. For another, it means he canāt rely on magic. He doesnāt have enough time to spend it mastering something he was never meant to have.
He turns to science at a young age.
The stars call him from outside his dirty, cracked window, and he dreams of the day he can fly among them. He wants to touch, he wants to grow, he wants to be something more.
Even at 8, he knows that his world doesnāt have the technology for that, and wonāt for a very long time. It doesnāt stop him from yearning, though.

Remus &/x Virgil: "Just like old times"?
Just Like Old Times
Word Count: 832
Warnings: Remus-typical behaviour (dirty jokes that are cut off by Virgil, talk of violence and also talk of killing his brother, no actual killing though), neutral-bordering-on-good Remus
Pairing: platonic remus & virgil
-
Virgil and Remus were not hanging out. It was a meeting of the minds. A mutual-interest-fuelled discussion. Not hanging out.
It started with a movie. It was Virgilās favourite - The Black Cauldron. Sombre with just enough humour to get by, and absolutely no songs. Perfect.
Only, the self-proclaimed ābetter halfā of Creativity decided that any Disney movie was a movie that he was entitled to watch.
So here they were. Roman, spread out into Virgilās personal space, feet up on his lap and making up his own godawful songs whenever the film got too depressing for his tastes. At worst, he ruined the experience for him. At best, Virgil wanted to snap his neck just so heād never have to hear another note again.
Finally, after a gruelling hour and a half, Roman retreated to his room, still humming some stupid tune under his breath.
Donāt get him wrong, Virgil wasnāt usually this worked up. Well, okay, maybe he was, but he was usually better at handling it. It was just, it was his day off. Thomas had nothing stressful on the horizon and for once, he didnāt feel the need to terrorise Thomasā mind with what ifās.
A movie sounded nice! It sounded relaxing! But then Sir Prat-A-Lot decided to weasel his way in on Virgilās me-time, and while he may be getting better at voicing when he needed space, he still wasnāt there.
He tried! Well, he thought about trying, and that had to count for something, but the words just wouldnāt come. And besides, Roman was wearing that stupid smile of his, so wide and blinding that Virgil just didnāt have the heart to tell him to shove off. Even though he wanted to. Very, very badly.
Instead, he stuck out his chin and endured. Because, really, Romanās happiness was rare! Genuine, heartfelt joy. It wouldnāt be right to take that away from him.Ā
āI could clobber him for you!ā
Virgilās headache intensified. He had his forehead resting against the cool metal of the fridge, trying to dissociate as much as possible before any of his other senses decided to try and make things worse.
āNo thanks, Remus,ā he muttered.
āAww, you sure? All it would take is one good hit!ā There was a swoosh through the air as Remus took a swing, then a loud thud as it slipped out of his hands and cracked the tiles. āOops!ā
Virgil groaned. āFix that up before Patton sees.ā
āAy, ay, captain!āĀ
Remus seemed far too happy to comply. Virgil wondered if being a pain in the neck was a Creativity criterion.Ā
āWhen I open my eyes, the tiles better not be dick-shaped.ā
āYou used to be such fun,ā Remus bemoaned. āAnyway, my offer still stands!ā
Right. āCourse he wouldnāt leave him alone. He never did back then, so why should he now?
Virgil sighed and turned to face him. āLook, heās my friend now. And Iām not going to go around pranking him, okay? Plus heād probably get me back with something worse.ā
āMy brother is too much of a kind-hearted fool for that! Think of all the times Iāve hit him over the head! Heās yet to stab me!ā
āOnly because youāre better at fighting!ā
āYou flatter me, Virge. Flattery turns me-ā
āFinish that sentence and Iām going to open that drawer, grab a butter knife and stab your hand into the counter.ā
āHave it your way then.ā Remus slipped away from the kitchen. āI was going to offer a conspiracy-theory marathon, just like old times. Guess Iāll have to go alone.ā
Virgil watched him go.Ā
āWait.ā
Remusā moustache twitched. āYes?ā
āMake the stupid popcorn and Iāll get my goddamn laptop ready.ā
āWhen did your language get so PG?ā
āBlame Patton. Iāve changed a lot since you last saw me.ā
āHmm. Donāt let dear old D to know this, but itās a nice change. Donāt get me wrong, Iām always in the mood for short, dark and gloomy but a small realist mouse is pretty cute too!ā
āDonāt call me cute. Or short, for that matter!ā
āAlright, mousey.ā
āI hate you.ā
Remus winked. āI know!ā
So Remus began to make popcorn and Virgil fished out Remusā laptop before deciding better of it and going to grab his own. He settled in and when he heard a familiar whoosh, he didnāt look up. The only sides who could enter without Thomas or his permission were Deceit and Remus, and Deceit had made a point of steering clear of his room since theirā¦ chat.
āWhat first? Australian shark arms? Texarkana killer? Florida machete murder? Personally, I think she faked it! Imagine, a woman doomed to marry some real estate agent- disgusting!ā
āA real job with a suit and everything? Honestly, I would fake it too.ā
āRight?!ā Remus settled in beside Virgil on the couch, already stuffing handfuls of popcorn in his mouth and spitting kernels into a separate bowl.
āNow thatās disgusting.ā
āIām saving it for later!ā
āUgh. Shouldnātāve said anything.ā

euphoria
A/N prompted by @andysepticeye - nonbinary logan coming out to their supportive bf, roman. also, the first fanfic ive posted in several months
word count: 1055
warnings: accidental misgendering (due to logan not being out)
summary: emotional vulnerability, two insecure partners and the discovery of euphoria.
-
Roman shifts closer into Loganās side and their whole body feels warm. Content. Happy. Roman continues chatting with the others but Logan remains silent, relishing in their boyfriendās presence.Ā
Everything is perfect, butā¦
āIsnāt my boyfriend the cutest?ā Roman announces to the room as he absentmindedly strokes Loganās hair. Logan tries not to flinch, tries to choke down the feeling of wrongness.
Virgil grunts an affirmation and Patton coos. āHe sure is!ā
Logan twitches. Their hand flexes. Tightens. Roman sends them a questioning look and they quickly withdraw, schooling their features from discomfort to neutral, un-tensing their shoulders and releasing their breath.
Roman knows them better than that, though.
