Relationships: Doug Glatt/Xavier LaFlamme
Characters: Doug Glatt, Xavier LaFlamme
Summary:
From now on, no matter what happens, if you want to punch me in the face or spit in my mouth while I’m asleep, it doesn’t matter. I’m always going to be watching your back.
Bookmarker's Notes:
For meeeeee! You know (or maybe you don't) how Xavier spends most of the movie looking at Doug like, seriously, dude? Xavier's sort of a jerk (understatement) and this makes excellent use of his desire to push at Doug to see what happens. Also, his possibly subconscious desire to perhaps literally fuck his life away.

Relationships: Eva (Goon)/Doug Glatt/Xavier LaFlamme
Characters: Eva (Goon), Doug Glatt, Xavier LaFlamme
Summary:
Eva sits down next to Xavier one day after she comes home from work. It’s late and dark: there's no game tonight, so he's just sitting there in y-fronts and a dirty bathrobe, lackadaisically playing some stupid game with zombies in it. She spent the whole day fighting with people about their orders—marketing keeps promising people shit, the fuckers—and it's relaxing, chilling on the couch lazily watching Xavier mow down a bunch of flesh-eating monsters while Doug cooks.
“Boned this girl last night,” he offers up between headshots. It's casual, easy—they're friends, the kind of friends who drink and talk shit about each other. He's stopped calling her a puck bunny and in return she's stopped asking if the test results came in okay.
Bookmarker's Notes:
Eva's voice here is a thing of beauty, and she's got a whole life beyond being a floozie and Doug's girlfriend (hooray!), and I love how clearly we see Doug and Xavier through her eyes.

Characters: Doug Glatt, Eva (Goon), Xavier LaFlamme
Summary:
Doug is excited to celebrate two holidays, an unexpected guest arrives, and Eva hoards her beer.
Bookmarker's Notes:
I can't figure out what I want to say about this, except that it is so, so good! Mostly that I am still glad Eva exists and this makes excellent use of her PoV, and I quite enjoy new and slightly improved Xavier. And Doug <3

Summary:
"He looked like a washed-up actor who had mugged an accountant on his way to the local bar." Mayhem meets his match...or does he?
Bookmarker's Notes:
This was such fun to read - I love that even Peggy's no-nonsense instructions can't *quite* keep Mayhem in check.

Summary:
Of all the potential outcomes that Lee could have predicted for his day when he woke up this morning, fighting off a hit squad in the jams and jellies aisle at Whole Foods would have been at the very bottom of the list.
Bookmarker's Notes:
and another! I adore the attitude through this whole piece. It's so sharp, and such a fun read.

Relationships: Glasses Guy/Jock Guy
Characters: Glasses Guy (You Belong With Me), Jock Guy (You Belong With Me)
Summary:
By the third time that Danny wound up with a window or door directly across from Eli Gronkowski's, he had to wonder if the universe was trying to tell him something.
Bookmarker's Notes:
I remember the lyrics to the song much more than I remember this version of the video, so my brain was so stuck on really looking at all of Danny's relationships for who "got" him and whether he was seeing people clearly. It almost isn't so much a shippy fic as it is the story of their lives together.
Ha, and of course LJ is broken as I go to post these to the community. Of course.
