Summary
Mark Grayson and Eve Wilkins are trying to build futures neither of them feels entirely allowed to reach.
After the collapse of his relationship with Cecil and the weight of his own violence, Mark spirals into emotional isolation, internalized guilt, and quiet desperation. Lost and confused with the trajectory of his life and of his identity.
Eve, still carrying the ghosts of her past mistakes and the government that made her, throws herself into school, philanthropy, and the hard-won task of rebuilding her life from the atomic foundation up. Slowly gaining better confidence in herself to do good with a renewed purpose.
OR
What if Mark and Eve’s Season 3 relationship arc was an actual, centralized slowburn with explicitly parallel arcs?

Summary
‘So. I’m off,’ says Hollander hesitantly.
Stay. You don’t have to leave. Have a drink with me. Not vodka, something you actually like. We can watch something stupid on the TV. We can suck each other off. You can run your fingers through my hair until I fall asleep on your chest.
‘Goodbye, Hollander.’
--
In which Ilya has a bunch of thoughts.

Summary
*TV Spoilers*
He’s almost at his own door when the muffled sound of his own name catches his attention.
“ —like an idiot. Scott Hunter is right next door.”
Scott pauses, blinking. He then finds himself unconsciously stepping towards the door his name was uttered behind— before he abruptly freezes, eyes locking on the room number.
It’s the room directly next to his own. The one Rozanov had walked out of just this morning.
But that voice… it’s vaguely familiar, and it certainly doesn’t belong to Rozanov.
Or: Scott Hunter has the unfortunate experience of rooming next to Ilya Rozanov at the 2011 All-Stars.

Summary
Eddie hums. “We’ll figure something out,” he tells Steve, like they’re friends or something. Like they’ll see each other somewhere after this and won’t just let their eyes skip over one another’s faces—like they’ll actually call out to one another, sit down, catch up.
Steve knows better. Knows their tentative alliance doesn’t exist outside of this mediocre 24-hour diner, at nearly midnight a few days after the Fourth of July. They both know it, Eddie’s just pretending not to.
Strangely enough, it doesn’t stop Steve from saying, “Sure.”

Summary
Every year, on the same day, Jake would go to the Tree of Souls with his most treasured picture in hand. A picture taken just before he left Earth, one of his human daughter, only three years old. He would pray to Eywa to see her just one more time, to meet the person she’d grown into.
He felt like a fraud, having one family with Neytiri whilst wishing to see another.
He didn’t know that the RDA knew of her. He didn't know of her Na’vi body. He didn't know what the voices in her head told her to do.

Summary
“A rock?” Arthur stared skeptically at the map laid out in front of him.
“Yes, sire… well, a stone.” The stableboy nodded nervously, glancing at the King before adding, “That is what they was saying. A stone that can’t be tricked nor fooled, one that can detect even the smallest bit of magic in a person.”
* * * * * * * * * *
Or I really liked the idea of a stone that identifies magic users and how strong their magic is from 'A Warlock's Wish' by vividpast and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Summary
This series explores two intertwined narratives: the adventures of time-traveling Obi-Wan and the reactions from the core, particularly the Jedi. It presents a Jedi-positive perspective but challenges the traditional notion of Jedi training. The series questions the importance of time in training versus the impact of experiences on a Jedi's potency. Drawing on examples from Legends, canon, and games, I posit that the skills of a Jedi could be taught to adults/teenagers in a relatively short time. It’s the mastery of self that would take the most time, and ultimately why the late-modern Republic’s Jedi training started with children.

Summary
Cale was sure that when the White Star blade pierced his chest he had died. No salvation, no turning back. Only death.

His identity for freedom. His name por peace. What once was for an untethered future. All him for his family.
Now, how can he refuse that deal?
(Or, the one where Cale Henituse makes the deal with the god of death, but instead of going Korea, he returns to his world as his presumed-dead-not-so-dead twin brother, Caliope.
Mission? Escape. Live a quiet life away from everyone.
Now, if only that impostor wasn't so determined to go after him)

Summary
It felt nice. But sometimes, in between the pauses in conversations or the moments spent waiting for the next text, it felt a bit like regret as Seungmin wondered if this is how things would’ve been if they had stayed in touch. It reminded him too much of going from strangers to friends to something more so quickly, of trying so hard to interpret Hyunjin’s signals while not even understanding his own feelings, of craving intimacy while fearing it more than anything all at the same time, then of letting it all go in the hopes that it would finally make sense.
But one thing was certain: Seungmin had missed Hyunjin. He had missed him more than anything.
Or: a budding romance yet to flourish, complicated feelings left unexplored, a childhood best friend and a college roommate, jealousy, insecurity, self-acceptance, and how Seungmin must navigate it all after returning home from a year abroad.

Summary
“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”
His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)

Summary
“Where's Ginny?” she asks, because she does not wanna be caught sobbing in Georgia Miller's arms by the daughter she currently has a rocky relationship with.
Georgia shrugs. Man, she wishes Ellen were this cool. “I dunno. You'd know more than me.”
Max checks her phone. MANG has met up at Blue Farm. They even tagged Max to go join. She's not in the mood, but her heart doesn't collapse from the anxiety at the thought. Maybe another day. She types it to them.
“You know,” Georgia is looking at her thoughtfully when she pockets her phone. “Out of all of Ginny's friends, you were always my favorite.”

Summary
Oh, Katsuki wants.
He wants to touch, to play with Izuku’s sweaty curls and caress his tense neck. To fix his posture and massage his shoulders. Would Izuku let him? In another reality where Katsuki’s hands weren’t so deadly and the thread holding their relationship so fragile, would Izuku let him stroke his skin? Would he let Katsuki spend hours feeling the bumps of his scars, memorizing the texture of his moles? Would he let him trace over his freckles without leaving another mark behind?
Katsuki hopes so. He really, really does.
_____
In which Katsuki spent fourteen years resisting the urge to touch Izuku until it all becomes too much and he gives in. But maybe, just maybe, things don't go quite as badly as he expects.
