Summary
"Carraway." There came a brief pause as Jay Gatsby's eyes raked over my face, inspecting my jawline and cheekbones with a critical air. Comparing. I felt more naked than ever before in my life, a part of me convinced that he would notice something amiss through my flannel suit. Naturally, he only asked, "Any relation to Daisy Fay? I heard mention of that name from her a time or two."

The Torture of Small Talk by HoldenVitaminCaulfield for sunshinebeetle
Fandoms: The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
02 Apr 2024

Summary
Surely Jay was hearing things. That was all. It had been a long night, and he was finally within sight of his true love, the girl who had changed his life, who had meant more to him than the man in the trenches ever had. Stress, perhaps even delusions were natural responses. Poor Nick Carraway was just a stranger for him to project that stress upon.
This resolution was highly relieving. Jay breathed out shakily, regaining control over his facilities once more. That had certainly been a scare. But –
He looked up, directly into the bright green eyes of the man he had fucked during the Great War. Entirely of his own free will. Multiple times.
Or a Great Gatsby AU in which Nick and Gatsby *met* during the war and don’t dare bring it up when they reunite on West Egg. Awkwardness, misunderstandings, and humiliation ensue.

The Sights and Sounds of the Roaring 20s by feathershollyandgolly

Summary
“I have to go,” I said suddenly. The words had slipped out of my mouth, despite my long silence earlier. “I think I’ll go with them.”
In which Nick decides he'd rather follow Gatsby, and he does this many more times than he previously expected. Gatsby certainly turns out alright in the end.

Summary
Jay Gatsby is furiously in love with Daisy Buchanan. Except, recently, he hasn’t been as focused on the “love of his life”. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t figure out why he isn’t quite like himself. Luckily for him, Nick is there by his side ready to figure this out with him, going on various little escapades. Neither even consider that Nick himself would be the source of Gatsby’s distraction.

White Lies of a Colored Past by ConvenientAlias
Fandoms: Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
31 Mar 2018

Summary
“Nick and I met during the war.”
Nick blinked. Well, maybe they had. They’d been familiar to each other, and several times they’d tried to chart whether they’d run into each other in Europe. Still, no matter how you looked at it, they hadn’t really met that way if neither of them could remember.
“We were serving with the same regiment,” Gatsby said. “You know there’s no stronger bond than one formed in the trench.”
This, now. This was a blatant lie.

Summary
Jay cleared his throat. For the first time, I noticed his pained, honest expression.
"Nick, what's the difference between a delusion and a dream?"
I blinked at the ceiling, willing the mist in my eyes to clear, but it persisted.
"Dreams, you can actually reach. Or, rather, you could if you'd just wake up," I said.

Summary
Moderating the annoying youtuber’s livestreams was only ever meant to be a brief favour to her internet friend. Joining their team discord server was only ever meant to be a distraction.

But as the 22-year-old tailor left running an ailing family business during a global pandemic, Sophie Hatter can be forgiven for making some questionable decisions along the way.
[Or: Sophie's strange lockdown hobby grows violently out of hand.]

Summary
The first time it happens, Wu is tipsy and probably riding high off having drinks bought for him by admirers. The next time it happens, it's entirely Mako's fault.
After that, it gets complicated.
Or: Over the course of 108,000 words, we make the case that Wuko was canon the whole time.

Summary
Mako is hired by an insufferable, selfish, spoiled soon-to-be king to be his bodyguard. Despite the apparent lack of danger to his person, Prince Wu seems to be fraught with peculiarities and anxieties that Mako can't understand and with every passing day the walls between them only seem to grow higher.
Prince Wu has just lost everything; his family, his home, centuries worth of heirlooms, and his nation. To make it worse he finds himself thrust into the unwanted position of Prince. His one comfort and lifeline was the hopes that hiring Mako would keep him grounded, would make him feel safe. When this plan fails, Wu can't help the resentment and loneliness that builds.

Summary
Elizabeth Colvin pursues music instead of journalism. Somehow things still turn out the way they're supposed to.
"In music, a cadenza (from Italian: cadenza [kaˈdɛntsa], meaning cadence) is, generically, an improvised ornamental passage played or sung by a soloist, usually in a "free" rhythmic style."

When the City Clears and Sun Ascends by LifeOfABridesmaid

Summary
“She loved me, she did,” said Gale, whispered words through wispy lips.
To Astarion’s practiced ear, this sounded like denial. Pleading with the universe— she loved me, she did— as if the fabric of reality wasn’t the domain of that lost love.
To Gale, clutching madly at his chest and wrinkling the velveteen fabric of his casual shirt, the words were as true as the orb sitting in his chest and the flowers growing in his lungs. She must have loved him— for to lose something, you must have had it in the first place.Bookmarked by Tokimi

“Stop gallivanting your waifish hind all over my fence! Get out, this is the last time I will be asking!”
“Oh my, did you just compliment my ass? You’re bolder than I thought.”
Gale sputters. “I did not!”

Or, the one where Astarion and Gale are neighbours who get into regular disputes over fences and lemon trees. -

Summary
“Today is full of surprises,” The wizard says. “Who knows? I had to try my hand at the notion I was in the presence of the few. It seems I’ll have to find a healer the harder way. Are you all aware of the timer we are on? With the insertion of an illithid tadpole, a process known as ceremorphosis begins…”
Astarion tunes him out. He no longer doubts that Gale is just an oddly-equipped human; surely no divine entity could be this annoying.***
When an interesting mage joins their tadpole-ridden party, Astarion is bound to be curious. Vampire, angel. Snake, bird. Forsaken, divine. It would be so easy to slip.

Summary
The Silence hit him like a brick to the face and sent him reeling, almost to his knees before he could find his balance again. It wasn’t a sensation he was wholly unfamiliar with, but it always had him sort of off-kilter, like the world had gone just a step to the left and left him behind.
Gale has some hidden skills.
