Summary
“I’m working, Mrs Robinson,” Michael says, giggling. He swings up, crossing his legs. His ankles loop endlessly.
Gertrude walks to the other chair and sinks into it. With one eyebrow raised, she snaps, “I think death is a reasonable excuse to not work.”
“No, no, no, no. Heavens, no. Well, it’s really quite funny because well…” Michael barfs a sheet of paper and flourishes it in the air. He stabs at a line with his finger, the nail piercing it – only it doesn’t come out the other side. “It actually says here that, if one assistant becomes an immortal being and can still bring themselves physically to work, they have to be present.”
(An AU where Michael Shelley returns to haunt his killer, Gertrude Robinson, although he isn't a ghost but instead he embodies a murderous employee. I take no credit for this AU; I saw it floating around on Tumblr a few months ago and it's played on my mind ever since. Credit goes to the AU's creator!)

Summary
“A late prognosis,” everyone said. “You would be dead in weeks if you hadn’t had that seizure. Of course he can’t come with you to America, Dr. Robinson, how could you even consider it?”
It was hard not to resent the Eye for keeping him alive. He should have died. He should be dead.

the best doorkeay fics of all time.

Summary
“I am what was done to Michael Shelley.” It says, shrinking from a mother’s intense eye. Then it hunches inward, sinking to the muddy grass so it may pull its skinny legs to its hollow chest. Michael wishes she would stop looking at it that way.
It wants to tell this man it has no mother, that the son she is looking for is dead, but the person it was born from howls inside its head until Michael cannot bring itself to tell the truth. To become a butterfly, a caterpillar weaves itself a cozy little cocoon to sleep in before its entire body disintegrates and becomes caterpillar soup until that primordial goo shapes itself into a butterfly. The butterfly remembers being a caterpillar, it knows due north and the hand that raised it, but it is not a caterpillar.
Michael feels like it is a misshapen insect, a big ugly cuckoo bird that thinks it's a sparrow, a barn cat raised by dogs so it tries to bark and only hisses.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael Shelley goes inside of the-door-that-should-not-be-there, what comes home is something else.

Summary
Kaveh stares at the neatly packed bento box laying before Al-Haitham, housing neatly sliced vegetables and glistening, fresh rice.
“Who made you that?” Kaveh asks, not bothering to hide the vengeance in his voice. “Your work husband?”
Al-Haitham lets the fork go slack in his hands and just stares at him. “Kaveh,” he says, in the sort of tone someone might say dude.
“Don’t dude me,” Kaveh says, aghast.
Kaveh is interested in discovering who Al-Haitham's elusive work husband is. Al-Haitham is only interested in Kaveh.

Summary
Scanning the rest of the room, he turns to look at Sigma, whose shuddering breaths wrack his body even as he’s unconscious against the control panel, blood trailing down his side through the fabric. His hair is cast over his face, drooped across him in a pastel glory.
Coming to his side, Nikolai uses a blood covered hand to tilt Sigma’s face upwards, watching how his brows are pulled together in strain. He’s already a pale figure, but the blood loss makes him appear otherworldly, the red of Fedya’s blood streaked across his jaw standing out starkly.
Evaluating the damage on the other man, a new game begins to form in Nikolai’s head.
Or, the morally grey Sigma/Nikolai buddy terrorists AU you didn't need where everyone survives Meursault and Sigma makes it everyone's problem

Summary
Sigma doesn’t dislike heights. In fact, he’d say he quite likes them – the adrenaline is enjoyable, and the previous rides they’ve been on have all been thrilling experiences. In general, roller coasters aren’t a bad pastime.
The keywords there are 'in general'. Sigma has his limits, and he would rather not be plummeting down the tallest goddamned roller coaster in Canada at 148 kilometres per hour.

Summary
People keep coming up to Kaveh to congratulate him. Kaveh doesn’t really know why, and he’s a little too scared to ask at this point, so he heads back home, content if not a little bemused.
He is, unfortunately, reminded of it the very next day, when the door slams open and Al-Haitham stalks in. “Mind telling me why everyone was congratulating me today?” he demands. “About your pregnancy?"
Or: Al-Haitham is, without a doubt, the most annoying person Kaveh knows. Maybe the world’s second-most annoying person can help Kaveh figure him out.

Summary
“What do you do with the flowers?”
Al-Haitham paused. “What do you mean?”
“Like, what do you do with the flowers you cough up? Do you keep them or…?”
He furrowed his eyebrows. “What—why would I keep them? I obviously throw them away. Why are you asking?”
“I was just wondering—I mean if you’re not using them—like, if I could possibly…have them?”
Al-Haitham stared at him incredulously. “You want my unrequited love flowers?”
“Yes?” Kaveh flushed red. “Since…since you’re not using them.”
Since you’re not using them—
“What the hell would I be using them for? What the hell are you using them for?”
Al-Haitham has Hanahaki disease and coughs up mourning flowers. Kaveh asks if he can use them for his ascension materials.
