Prompt + Number: Absence, 026
Rating: K+/PG
Warnings: au, stepcest, m/m/f threesome/polyamorous relationship
Summary: Drake misses Josh and Mindy when they’re away at college.
Mindy chooses M.I.T. and Josh decides on Stanford, leaving Drake to focus on his music, dividing his time between L.A. and San Diego.
Drake gets lonely without them around. Granted, Josh is only about eight hours away, six if he's in L.A., but he's got classes and labs and a part-time job and so much studying. However, Mindy is so far away, there’s too much time and space keeping them apart.
Drake tries to throw himself back into the dating game but it's not the same because all he does is compare and contrast the girls to Josh and Mindy.

Summary: A limo driver’s observations of Drake, Josh, and Mindy on (senior) prom night.
The limo driver wearily eyes the three teenagers as they climb in. They're not that rowdy but there's something off about them. Maybe it's the fact that he's used to only driving one couple or multiple couples to the prom, not one couple and a third wheel.
They leave the dance before it's over, and they're sitting close, whispering in each other's ears, giggling and blushing and that's when the driver realizes that maybe the coupling isn't what he thought. He catches glimpses of touches and looks passed back and forth between the boys and the girl in the rearview mirror.
The smaller boy's eyes catch his in the mirror and he winks at the driver before putting up the partition's tinted sliding glass window.

Title: A Rose by Any Other Name
Fandom: Drake & Josh
Claim: Drake/Mindy/Josh
Prompt + Number: Pet names, 017
Rating: K+/PG
Warnings: au, stepcest, m/m/f threesome/polyamorous relationship
Summary: Not all terms of endearments would sound as such to the casual observer.
There are compliments and titles, all lovey-dovey and sugary sweet, which Josh and Mindy bestow upon each other, both in public and behind closed doors, whether it’s just the two of them or all three of them.
The words and names that Drake and Mindy exchange are harsh and biting. They use the same insults as they did before the relationship formed between the trio, but their inflections and the implications have changed.
It’s not what Drake and Josh call each other, but the little things that they say; the bromance is easily heard as are hints of something more.

Title: Lay Your Head Down (In My Arms)
Fandom: Drake & Josh
Claim: Drake/Mindy/Josh
Prompt + Number: Comfortable, 040
Rating: K+/PG
Warnings: au, stepcest, m/m/f threesome/polyamorous relationship
Summary: The three of them being together is starting to no longer be all about being with Josh.
A/N: Title comes from the Keren Ann song “Lay Your Head Down.”
Drake turns over and his arm falls over Mindy’s waist. She doesn’t tense up, instead snuggling closer to him. It’s odd that Josh wasn’t in the middle tonight but he’d wanted to try something different since Drake and Mindy had begun to pull each other in and attend to the other’s needs.
Mindy rolls onto her side so that she’s facing Drake. Josh is lying behind him, propped up on his elbow, watching them. She slides her arm under Drake’s, his arm tightens around her, and she finds Josh’s hand and laces her fingers through his before closing her eyes.
