Mobsters AU
First of all, Erica in a pinstripe suit and a fedora. *_*
Anyway, Erica’s in the mob. One of their best best operatives. She goes in for the kill, gets it done quickly and cleanly and gets out of there. Her target this time: someone who witnessed a mob-related murder. One of the business who paid them dues to keep them “safe” but the murder was too intense and the catch was that he was also dating a cop and therefore subject to snitch so Erica had to take him out.
She does best with knives because bullets leave striation marks and can be tracked back to her too easily, even with black market weapons. She goes in, uses a brand name knife, and goes out. When she happens upon her target, though, she falters for the first time in her life because he isn’t some weasel-looking gross turd. He looks good and he’s strong and he’s formidable and she thinks maybe the Hale Mob wants him taken care of because he looks so strong.
Instead of taking him out, though, she goes back to the mob boss, Peter and pleads her case to him. Have Alistair MacCrae join the mob.
Peter won’t allow it. Alistair is too gentle. Too soft. He would ruin the organization as soon as he joined.
Erica still begged to differ and she breaks the code to go and explain to Alistair the situation. Alistair doesn’t want to die, so he agrees to join the mob so that people don’t kill him.
Thus he begins to lead a double life, having to lie to his boyfriend about money laundering and stuff. The mob ends up hiding a bunch of money in Alistair’s bookshop under the floorboards because he had a good reputation and rival families wouldn’t dare guess that the goods would be hiding there.
So Erica, as a conduit for the mob on Alistair’s end, winds up being the one who gets him better acquainted with the crew: Derek, the sharpshooter, Isaac the silvertongue, Boyd, the braun. All the cool kids. But also she finds that Alistair is a good listener and he makes wonderful tea and his kind words and flair for pacifism starts to rub off on Erica and she begins to second-guess her entire life in the mob.
In the end, she ends up convincing Isaac, Boyd, and Derek to appease their better selves and turn Peter in. With Alistair’s help (and Jordan’s) they stage a capture where the Jordan and the Sheriff show up to arrest Peter and Derek, Isaac, Boyd and Erica all go into the witness protection program.
And then Erica get a job at a bookstore and meets Rory so that’s cool.

Bookshop AU
The Pagemaster never closed and was actually a highly successful bookshop.
Art goes in there all the time to buy books on plants and stuff.
Ali’s like, “So you like to garden?”
And Art’s all, “Yes.”
And Ali’s like, “Here are some seeds.”
And Art’s all, “Cool I’m a druid.”
And Ali’s like, “Omg I make plants grow.” And he grows some plants from the seeds.
Art’s all, “Dude I love me some growing plants.”
They become friends and share produce with each other.
Art brings in catnip for Totoro and Totoro gets high and likes Art for getting him high
The climax of the story is when someone catches Ali growing a plant for Art and freaks out and they have to contain the secret because it’s Janet or some shit and she’s gonna go to the police
But haha, jokes on her, Ali’s dating the police and Jordan takes the case and shows her that it was a trick plant.
Art offers Janet some fresh tomatoes but purposely leaves a hole in the basket
She steps on the tomatoes and ruins her shoes
They have a good laugh
The End.

Thank you, Cerberus.

Once Lydia had gone to the Sheriff station and the hospital to see if there was anything she could do to help out, she started making her way through town as well. Driving seemed pretty dangerous given the circumstances so Lydia walked with her flashlight and stopped once she spotted the library. She could see a candle in the window so she figured he was inside and she headed up the stairs and in the building rather quickly. “Alistair?” Lydia called out, squinting to try and get a better view of the figure standing in the distance. Once she saw him Lydia smiled. “I’m here to offer my assistance. And please don’t say no because I’m feeling really helpless right now and I need to keep my hands busy.” There wasn’t much Lydia could do- it wasn’t like she could turn the power back on. And more than anything, she hated feeling useless. If lighting candles with Alistair was a distraction then she would do it without hesitation.
Dad: Can you forgive the love notes I leave around the station? Also Stiles is a wonderful boy.
“Hey, who am I to get in the way of love? Especially in a time like this. Thank you, son. I try my best with him but a lot of the credit goes to how wonderful his mother was when she was alive.”

Jordan stood at his own stove using his own recently purchased pots and pans. He’d been practicing making Hamburger Helper out of a box all week and pawning the leftovers off on whomever was stealing from the break-room fridge. He refused to leave the dish unattended lest it burn onto the bottom of the pan. He’d made sure Alistair was comfortable in the living room, having hopefully sated him with some Jeopardy re-runs. He’d just finished turning off the burner and was about to announce that dinner was ready when he felt two familiar arms snake their way around his middle. Jordan instinctively leaned back against a broad chest and smiled. “You smell that?” he hummed, placing his hands over Alistair’s. “It’s not burned. I think it’s one hundred percent edible.” If there was ever a moment for Jordan to feel completely at bliss it was then: wrapped in the arms of the man he loved and staring at a dish he hadn’t messed up at all.
