fake/pretend relationship

In the grand scheme of things, finding a date for a wedding should be no problem for Louis Tomlinson. He's rich. He's handsome. He's reasonably well behaved. But when the wedding is for his lifelong best friend (and former boyfriend), and is happening in under a month, finding a date for the ceremony and accompanying festivities becomes more of an adventure than he ever could have planned for.

“Three weeks,” Derek says. “Still don’t want to,” Stiles says. “I’ll pay you,” Derek says, and that… that has Stiles interested. Alf’s Antique’s may be a great job, but it’s not a high-paying job, and half of Stiles’s tuition is coming from financial aid, so… “How much,” Stiles asks, “are we talking here? Because I know your family, dude. And it’ll be kind of awkward after.“ “My family thinks you’re some sort of fucking gift to the world,” Derek seethes, like he’s jealous, “they’ll probably be pissed at me when we break it off, so don’t worry about that. Five hundred bucks.” “A thousand,” Stiles says, because screw ethics. Also, the Hale family is loaded. Derek can deal.

If there’s one thing Hermione Granger is good at, it’s using magic to fix her problems. And this time, her problem is sex. Luckily, she has the perfect solution: a locket enchanted with the Patented Daydream Charm. Whenever she opens it, she’ll find herself in Dreamland, where she can live out all her filthiest fantasies risk-free. The magic is a bit tricky, though. For some reason, Malfoy keeps showing up there with her. Thank goodness it’s only an illusion—if that was really him, she would never live it down. Meanwhile, Draco is determined to figure out who the fuck is cursing him to suffer through highly realistic, erotic hallucinations of his secret childhood crush. When he finds the culprit, there will be hell to pay.

Sero nods. “It’s the chance of a lifetime, really,” he says. “We want you to date Bakugou, for the sake of his reputation with the press. Some public appearances, a few ‘candid’ photos. For at least a couple of months.” “Bakugou sent you to ask me to date him?” Kirishima asks, baffled. “Of course not. We, his people, are asking you to date him. He’s going to have to get on board, if he wants his career to survive. And in the bargain, Riot will get all sorts of publicity, because their lyricist will be dating one of the industry’s hottest stars. A win for everyone.” When Kirishima Eijirou's band hits the big time, he's not prepared for his newfound fame. He's even less prepared to meet the actor he's been crushing on for years, or to start dating him as a publicity stunt. The closer Kirishima gets to Bakugou Katsuki, the more he realizes he's in over his head. But it's hard to stop, once his heart is in it.

Many thanks to Ari & Ciss who are helping me a TON. Based on a Tumblr post I can't find.-Tim Drake is assigned to investigate a ghost cult. Not a big deal, really, until you consider he's sent with Damian Wayne, an assasin who tried to kill him less than a year ago who he is expected to befriend because they're "brothers".What follows is as much as a mystery as a romance for Tim, and Damian, Dick, and Bruce finally learn actions have consequences- and they can't make Tim fix everything.-"Two lives are too many. I can return one of you- but you must choose."The abnormally grainy footage didn't allow lip reading, but body language transmitted well. There was Tim stepping forward, and Damien- he said something, had to from the way Tim bent in pain. There was a back and forth between the two before Tim took another step to the king."Some heroes," the king said, "I see only one here. I'll return you, as promised."To Tim, he said, "a hero was sacrificed, so I must accept." "I want to know what was said between Damien and Tim," Bruce said, "and how to get Tim out. I need you to focus on finding any way to get to him without sacrificing soneone."

“Like, you know, wouldn’t it be funny if we pretended to date and like… Acted all mushy and over the top to show Taehyung and Namjoon how gross they are?” “That -” Yoongi cuts off, head tilting to the side. “I guess that would be funny.” He pauses. “We should do it.” And this is not at all what Jungkook expected. He’s not entirely sure if Yoongi is joking or not. “I - are you serious?” He expected Yoongi to object, to tell him he’s being ridiculous, or laugh it off. It’s a crazy idea, it doesn’t even make sense. But Yoongi isn’t staring at him like he’s crazy. “Sure.” Yoongi shrugs. “I mean, this is the stupidest fucking idea I’ve ever heard.” “Hey!” Yoongi grins. “But what could go wrong?” -OR- United by their mutual disgust for their grossly in love roommates, Jungkook and Yoongi decide to pretend to date to give them a taste of their own medicine. And that should be fine, no big deal, probably just a funny story to tell later… Right?

When moving out of your dorm and leaving your eccentric roommate goes to shit, you're offered by one of her friends to move in with him... for free!

“When we kiss—“ “Hold up,” Hao frowns. “‘When’? Why would we kiss?” Hanbin blinks. “Because couples kiss all the time? Wouldn’t it be suspicious for Taerae to never see us kiss?” By the heavens, the kid’s got a point. Smart boy. “Okay, sure. If—” “When.” “—we kiss, we should probably save it as a last resort. Like, a make it or break it type of situation where Taerae and Matthew are really suspicious of us.” For some reason, Hanbin doesn’t seem too pleased by that idea, his mouth puckered in a sad little pout. Why he would be sad though, is beyond Hao. “What was your question?” Hao prompts, tempted to reach over and smooth the furrow of Hanbin’s knit brow with his fingers. Like magic, Hanbin perks up and his eyes glitter with the glory of a sky full of stars. “Can I use tongue?” Or, Hao lies to his best friend that he has a boyfriend. Thankfully Sung Hanbin is more than happy to go along with the charade, but why are his eyes so damn sparkly, why is he so warm all the time, and why does he keep asking if they can kiss with tongue?
