Fic: Teachings of the Heart
ART
Rating: G
Summary: Altea High is the home of the lions, famous for being a startup school taking over the boards. For more than a decade the school went under the radar, in every aspect. Funding, academia, extracurricular achievements, student accomplishments. They were all outmatched by the number one school in the state, Galra High. After Allura took over as Principal, her and her friends take the school and flip it upside down, so now they reign supreme among the districts.
These five people have left their high school years behind them five-fold at the least, but now a new High School challenge begins.
Shiro and Matt, high school friends, teachers and hardcore crushers on each other. Both too oblivious and self conscious to make the first move, so their friends and family have decided to finally step in on their behalf. Itâs up to them to get these two starry eyed men to stop being so dense towards each other once and for all. However, that is not to say that Shiro and Matt exactly make things easier in any way, because they donât.
They make it harder and more annoying and painful than stepping on a lego.

Rating: T
Summary:Â Shiro never expected to be assigned to guard the crown prince on his annual inspection tour of the kingdom. And he definitely did not expect the prince to drag him up into the mountains, territory of the feared and deadly dragons. But as it turns out, Prince Matthew has a lot to teach him about dragons--and about his own heart.

Summary:Â Extremely fluffy, approximately four pounds, will eat all of your cheese and none of your dog treats.On second thought, may be a human in a dog's body.Matt is a werewolf, an extremely ferocious beast who just happens to look exactly like a Pomeranian. Running away from Sendak's pack has left him injured and weakened, and he's unable to turn back into a human, which leaves him vulnerable to being unwittingly adopted by a handsome man who finds Matt hiding underneath his car.

Rating: T
Summary: Matthew Holt is a young and enthusiastic editor for Altea Publishing House, a renowned editorial company. After working on a few successful novels, Matt is more than ready for his newest challenge: when Coran is promoted to editor-in-chief, he entrusts him with his favorite writer, T.K. Kuron. Being a fan of his work, Matt is delighted to finally meet the idol he imagines as an old, kind gentleman⌠but Mr. Kuron, A.K.A. Takashi Shirogane, is not what he expected at all, and his wish to make him write a bestseller at any cost could be the biggest challenge of his career... and also his personal life.

Fic: To Reach the Top
ART - not submitted
Rating: T
Summary:Â Takashi Shirogane liked keeping the two most important facets of his life perfectly separate. At school he was senior varsity football captain and star quarterback. Football had been his dadâs dream for him, especially when Shiro ended up going to the same high school as his father. After school, heâd get in his hand-me-down Honda and drive forty five minutes, don a bright teal and white t-shirt and blindingly white shoes and become someone who would be unrecognizable to anyone who knew him at school. Heâd become cheerleader Shiro, the Shiro who could do a layout-stepout-double and toss a flyer twenty feet into the air. It wasnât that he was ashamed of that part of his life, just that he knew his teammates would use it as a way to undermine his football accomplishments, even though he left cheer even more tired than a football game.
So, he kept the two sides of himself completely separate from one another, kept his two things in their own corners. It worked, and he was happy. Until Matt Holt shows up and threatens to tear down the carefully crafted separation between high school and all star cheer, that is.

Fic: Kiss Me Under the Moonlight
ART
Rating: T
Summary:Â Matt Holt has been quietly in love with his best friend for as long as he can remember, and had to watch as he fell in love with someone else. He can deal with that. Shiroâs happiness is most important, after all.
When theyâre both selected for the Kerberos Mission, itâs a dream come true. Then Adam leaves Shiro, and itâs like that dream has fractured. Mattâs there for his friend â he always will be â but six months in space with broken hearts leads to a lot of spilling emotions.
Itâs there, in the void of the cosmos, that Matt discovers his feelings may not be as unrequited as heâd thought.

Summary:Â âOh, but where are my manners? I haven't introduced myself, gentlemen. My name is Matt Holt, and I'm a Circle mage for her Majesty Queen Allura Altea, Second of Her Name, Lady of the Sea, Breaker of Stuff, Mother of All, and a bunch of other titles I'm too tired to think of right now. It's my job to keep the peace and you,â he paused, looking them over. âyou are not being very peaceful.â
(In which Matt is a mage of considerable power working for the Queen and Shiro is his partner, a werewolf stuck in his wolf form with no memories of his past.)

Fic: Hidden Scars
ART
Rating: MÂ
Summary:Matthew Holtâs intention had never been to be placed within the hard confines of a mental ward. His intention had been to, well, die.
Takashi Shirogane didnât have any intentions. If he had any prior to the crash, he didnât remember them. Neither boy had planned to spend the beginnings of their respective senior years admitted into the bright white and teal hallways of the âesteemed and recommend Altean Rehabilitation Center.â
After a horrific car crash coming home from his last summer vacation with his family, Shiro is left without them, a home, and only two friends. He has memories of none of them.
Matt has had demons living inside the confines of his mind for as long as he can remember conscious thoughts. A particularly bad spell has him on a bathroom floor with a stomach that needed pumping and gashes that needed stitching.
Both incidents lead to Altea in August, right as the leaves start their slow change over and a new season begins with the promise of healing. But sometimes healing isnât a straight-lined process. Sometimes you need a hand to guide you, or maybe just one to clutch onto. To know youâre not alone.

Summary:Â "Ever since he was a little kid, he wanted to explore the ocean. Since his family had lived close to the beach and went as often as they could, the ocean had been one of the first things to capture Mattâs attention and one of the only things to hold it. He was fascinated with the possibilities, amazed by all the things humans didnât know, enraptured by all the secrets just waiting to be discovered. He wanted to be someone who made a discovery, a person that came to the surface with a breakthrough, and heâd been waiting his entire life for the chance to do it.
And now, a fresh college graduate with a shiny diploma that dubbed him an official marine biologist among other things Matt didnât find himself rushing into the field."

Summary: The Holt family has run the bar for years, unlike other places, the bar welcomes creatures of all sorts, demons, monsters, beyond your wildest imagination. Shiro has been a frequent patron of the bar, a sort of warden for the region that helps defend the humans in it from the creatures who step a bit too far out of line. When Pidge, Mattâs younger sibling, is kidnapped as a way to force the Holt family to turn over those patrons who are of the demonic sort, Shiro volunteers to help, bringing him closer to Matt than ever before.
