Summary
The hospital heart rate monitor beeped relentlessly, yet Tenn couldn’t complain. That consistent, even rhythm meant that his brother was still clinging on. Still breathing, still waiting for the right time to wake up. The doctors said that after seven years of being stuck in this coma, there really wasn’t much hope of him waking up and being mentally sound. But that couldn’t dissuade Tenn from still visiting Riku and keeping him in as healthy a condition as he possibly could. Someday, he knew his brother would wake up. But what would he be like when he finally does?

Summary
title is a Paramore song
don’t read this, it’s self indulgent, low quality nonsense
Basically an It's A Wonderful Life au with Mike Wheeler and Crowley (via The Arrangement) because it's the holiday season and I'm writing this for me. And maybe you, too. Probably not tho. Also the au aspect of this is short lived and it ends up just being a giant canon divergent but also a crossover mashup. it's fun. it's the worst thing i've ever written, it's so shitty.
i don't support neil gaiman because of course not. (https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/neil-gaiman-two-more-women-allege-sexual-assault-1235073080/)

Summary
"Eddie was attempting to console Steve, but his voice wavered, confidence lacking. He’d given Steve romance advice once before– before they’d gotten to know each other enough to not want each other in someone else’s arms. Now, hearing Eddie attempt to pick up Steve’s love life with other people felt like a stab to the chest.
Steve scoffed, the knots in his stomach only getting tighter.
'Feelings are great for people like Robin and Nance, Dustin, you.'
'What do you want, Steve?' Eddie asked after a beat of silence. "
-Steve doesn't know how to handle his feelings for Eddie and it blows up in his face.

Summary
It's funny, isn’t it? How one life can impact so many others? They might seem so insignificant…but when you take them out the picture, you can see the gap so much more clearly.
Midoriya doesn’t feel much like a hero lately. He botched his last villain takedown and caused them some serious injuries, he’s barely made a dent in the rankings since debuting, and he’s been pushing away his closest friends in an attempt to deny the feelings he has towards them. Some Symbol of Hope he is—right now he’s barely got any for himself.
It feels like nothing he’s done has ever been good enough. All his victories are pyrrhic, and since high school onwards all he’s done is screw up at each turn. He’s a bad successor, a bad friend, a bad hero. The world would be better off without him…right?
It takes a chance encounter on a chilly bridge at night for him to learn how wrong that thought is.
TL;DR: It’s a Wonderful Life, Deku Edition.

Summary
“You have a choice now.” said Charlotte. They were back in her room, exactly like they’ve left it.
“A choice?”
“Yes. You’re in a state in which you’re not dead but you’re not really alive either.”
“I have to choose between life and death?”
She nodded. Hope thought of her family. Her father, waiting for her to make peace with herself. She thought of her mother and wondered if she had collected enough stories to tell her.

Summary
"Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"
So much death for someone so young to witness weighs on a pure soul harshly, like inhaling tendrils of smoke down a raw throat in the bitter cold. If only Scott hadn't went into the woods that night. If only he hadn't been bitten. If only ...
