    Summary

    The image of fifteen-year-old Flavia follows him. Pale-faced, shaking, and shoving a boy out of the way instead of killing him. That memory sticks with him like the caked-on cinnamon powder that still clings to his fingers.


    or


    Victor-mentor relationships in Two can be complicated, but sometimes, the bond keeps both parties afloat. A mentor saves a kid, a cycle starts over, and honor takes on a new meaning.

    Once in a while, a tribute reminds a Victor of their younger self.

    If the stars align, a teenager will meet someone that shows them who they want to be in twenty years.

    If luck is on everyone’s side, both of these connections are drawn between the same two people.

    Demetrius Hunter was once an impulsive thirteen-year-old, terrified that no one in this world would want him. He still turns into that kid, from time to time. When he wins the Seventy-third Games. When his rival-and-friend tries to follow in his footsteps. And, on occasion, when the people he cares the most about see his vulnerability as a strength.

    They say that Twos are apathetic; some of them are just good at playing the part.

    Summary

    They were comfortable.

    Too comfortable.

    The kind of comfort that looks like love from the outside-and like safety from the inside.

    When rumours start pairing Pond with everyone (read as not someone he'd like it to be), silence becomes impossible to maintain.

    Sometimes, the most dangerous thing isn't confession.

    It's waiting too long.

    ~A pondphuwin fanfic loosely based on the recent dating rumours of Pond. Not very canon tho.

    Summary

    When a quiet hospital nurse meets a mysterious patient who carries the weight of an unforgivable past, she is drawn into the dark confession of a love that should never have happened.

    A married man and his new neighbor never meant to fall for each other, but desire turns into obsession, and obsession turns into sin. Their secret relationship grows like a shadow, silently, hungrily... until it destroys the only innocent person in their lives: his wife.

    As guilt poisons love and love becomes a weapon, the line between devotion and madness slowly disappears.
    Because some loves don’t just ruin lives…
    They demand sacrifice.

    Summary

    “Do you feel desire?” asks Carol. “Are you even capable of that?”

    “Are you referring to us in the plural or the singular?”

    “Both.”

    A moment. “There is a collective desire, so to speak, to better humanity. In terms of sexual desire… we don’t feel it. The bodies, this body, does.” A pause. “Do you ask because you’d like to have intercourse?”

    Carol groans. “Not when you put it like that. You sound like a fucking anatomy textbook."

    “Tell me, then.” And oh, it’s gentle, so open. A hook with bait and Carol opens her mouth, swallows the wriggling worm and the hook and is ready to choke to death on the whole goddamn line.

    “Pick a number between one and one million!”
    “You're looping again,” Odile says flatly.
    “Is your number…” and you pause for dramatic effect. “four thousand and seventeen??”
    “How many times?”
    “We've talked twice now,” you chirp. “and it took me around four hours to convince you to tell me a number, which was lame of you.”

    aka, Loop is a mess but through the power of talking to anyone ever, they figure things out

    Summary

    I was reading a fic that handles the Shaun relationship in a very interesting way and I thought, "God, imagine someone with my hyperspecific parental trauma being thrown into that situation." Then I remembered saying just like two days ago that Fallout 4 was a great vehicle for self-insert fic and thought, "Ha! Imagine if I actually wrote that! I could even fix the ending!"

    Sixty thousand words later, it's a stream-of-consciousness mess, but it's certainly fun to write.

    Summary

    The nuclear winter in the Future, in 2029, did not bring snow that Uncle Bob could ever see. He did not have any reason to encounter it in the Los Angeles summer of 1995, either. But in the later months of 1995, after repairing, retreating, and entering into a more reputationally-dormant life with the Connors, the model 101, arguably either the only one or one of ten ever to exist, has his chance to sense the beauty of the snow, see the perfect individuality of each flake, feel the ethereal joy of a white winter; experiences never meant to befall a Terminator.
