Happy Valentine's Day! I love you all.

Special thanks to the person who gifted me with paid time. This is what I think of you: ♥ ♥ ♥

I did not get my act together to do anything for Valentine's Day this year, so here are some (only slightly annotated) recs instead. I intended to read everything from no_tags and then found that some things just didn't interest me, so I read almost everything. This is twenty stories I liked from it. They're in reverse order of when they were posted because I just skimmed through and opened things in new tabs. I hope you find something you enjoy!

1. These Aren't The Droids You're Looking For - Amazing Patrick gen Star Wars AU.



2. Tick Tick Boom - Gabe/William MacGyver AU, in which Gabe is an agent, William is a science teacher, and together they fight crime.



3. i'll be your lightning rod - William/Mike. I loved the way their relationship works in this story.



4. All night, sugar rush - Gabe/Brendon bakery AU. I'm a sucker for cooking AUs.



5. when there's nothing left to burn - Brendon/Ryan/Spencer. I don't usually go for angst involving Brendon and Ryan, but this has stuck with me.



6. An Allotrope of Carbon - Excellent Frank/Jamia thieves AU.



7. Are We The Parts, Are We The Whole - Adorable Gerard/Lindsey/Bob.



8. 10-23 (Stand By On This Frequency) - Bob/Ray EMT AU.



9. Catch a Wave - Brendon/Spencer, with some fun Pete and Ashlee teasing.



10. wanna talk to her (she's hot as hell) - Hilarious Brendon/Cassadee story where she's confused by him hitting on her because "But. Aren't you gay?"



11. With Tongues So Reptilian - Gabe/William Snakes on a Plane AU without the snakes but with them both being smart about literature.



12. Don't Look Innocent Enough - William/Vicky-T on tour.



13. Ante Up - Amazing Gabe/Vicky-T continually upping the ante on each other.



14. Walk and Don't Look Back - Patrick/William early days fic.



15. Steps will always rhyme - Adorable Gabe/Travis story where they own a coffee shop, and Travis just waits until Gabe thinks things are his idea.



16. Gathered Here to Witness - Frank/Gerard wherein they meet at Mikey's wedding.



17. Couldn't Call It Unexpected - Frank/Jamia genderswap. This story is the hottest one in the whole set. I love the way it only works because of the relationship they already have.



18. Strange Steps Take Us Back - Gabe/William accidental boyfriends. I love stories where people are involved in a relationship before they realize it.



19. Pixelated Romance - Frank/Gerard. This is the funniest story in the whole set. I laughed all the way through it.



20. Taste like guilty longing - Carden/Siska. I love this story. I love that it has a d/s vibe that is very serious, and at the same time, Siskay is totally cheerful about it.
