Summary
"I said that she’s the most marketable superhero in the city right now, and I had sway over her before but now I know her civilian identity.” He still looks unconvinced so Sim lets out a sigh and relents. “And, I need to spend more time with her to confirm this, but I think she has ties to the Montagues.”
“You know what you’re asking for, don’t you?”
“I do, actually, I wrote it in the report.”

No one remembers when the Crown and Cleaver became a threat. One day, they were unheard of, and the next day, they were on every superhero watchlist in the area.

Summary
The only real lights to be seen are ten small candles in front of the crumbling concrete walls. They flicker too but, unlike the street lights, they do not go out. They stand, no matter how rough the wind blows.
There are ten candles, but only nine of them are lit. Enjolras knows because he lights the first one. He is not the one who sets them out, but he is the conductor in this symphony of light. At his cue, each candle, one by one, gains a flame-- altogether dancing, their embers like amber encased in stone.
Each candle, but one.

So, you wanna marry Jeanne? by A_Butter_Churner

Summary
I tilt my head up to get another look at the stranger. Doctor Newton. An odd moniker to pick out for oneself. He’s not a real doctor, that much I am certain of. He’s a… magician of sorts.
That’s a safe word, right? Magician. A charlatan, as my sister would call him. People like that are only ever looking to line their pockets by reading a few cards and pretending to know everything about your life, she’d probably say. Good Lord, Monty, what have you gotten yourself into now?
I wish I knew, is the only reply I have.

Summary
“Because I’m your big brother, Feli,” I hear him bring the phone closer to his mouth because his voice goes all small and round. “I haven’t acted like it for too damn long but I’m not going to let you stop me from trying.”

Summary
“Are you ignoring me?” Painfully and as if on cue, a voice echoes from the mirror. It’s teasing and soft, but Percy doesn’t miss the hurt undertones. Percy freezes, the words ‘no, never’ already flying to his lips before he bites the inside of his cheek to stop them. Fuck, that’s going to hurt like a bitch later.
“Not on purpose.” He eventually settles, feeling the heat creep up his neck.
“We both know that’s a lie,” the lackluster laugh that follows sends a shiver down Percy’s spine, the ease of it causing him to shudder. “Just let me see you. Please.”

Summary
I don’t care if it’s not a good idea!” Merlin screamed, already feeling the tears prick at the back of his eyes. Damn it all, you’d think he’d have cried himself out by now. “It’s… it’s his birthday…”
“He’s gone, Merlin.” Leon spat, more bitterly than he would have liked. “You remember what happened the last time someone from Camelot tried using the Horn, we can’t take that risk.”
Merlin took in shuddering breaths, eyeing the Horn of Cathbhadh and its ivory curves. He knew Leon was right, he knew it, but it was right there. Fuck, the tears were coming again.
Kilgarrah’s words rung in his head, deluding him all over again. Merlin knew that if ever that familiar crown of golden curls breeched the surface of the water of Avalon, a waterfall would immediately gush from his eyes and puddle onto the ground. In fact, merely thinking of that moment used to be enough to coax wetness to the back of Merlin’s eyes, beads of liquid threatening to spill over at any moment.

i bleed, red lips you're unbelieveable by A_Butter_Churner

Summary
It was a broken guitar string, slim and silver and thinning at the end—its tightly wound coil fraying and unraveling. Sometimes when Spot looked at it, he imagined it on the guitar it came from with its owner sitting on the couch next to him, strumming and laughing, setting the guitar down to kiss him on the cheek. It was a fantasy Spot indulged in more than he’d like to admit, and he tried to shut it down and move on, but it creeped back into his brain like a vine. At least thinking about it made it easier to ignore the fact that there was no way it was coming true.

Summary
One kiss. One stolen kiss in the threshold was all he was going to get, and he knew that. But it was better than never knowing for sure if those lips tasted of pomegranates like he’d always imagined. It was better than never saying those three words to the person they were meant for most. And maybe, maybe, he could apologize.

Summary
Grantaire draws in a sharp breath, staring down at his scuffed-to-hell-and-back Converse on top of the fuzzy and impeccably trimmed welcome mat before him. The mat itself isn’t much bigger than a sheet a printer paper and is inconspicuous enough, just a plain brown piece of coarse fabric with little cross-hatchings and the word ‘WELCOME’ carved in blocky letters.
But for some reason, it manifests in Grantaire’s brain as a gilded bridge to paradise, a key to a cavern of untold riches. That ‘WELCOME’ was screaming in his mind, a challenge, a dare.
He wonders if he deserved to take it.

Summary
Courfeyrac looked up and blinked once, or maybe twice. Everything blurred together and his vision grew foggy. He reached out into the air to call for something, anything… but instead he just whimpered as his head fell back on the pillow, stained with fading memories and pieces of things he couldn’t understand.
This is how he was always meant to be in the end.
Alone.

Summary
She’s on the phone, Gavroche realizes as he nears his sister’s room. Against his better judgement (‘we’re Thenardiers, we have no better judgement!’ – Eponine, ever so often) he pressed his ear to the door to hear a hoarse voice broken with heaving sobs.
Gavroche hurries back down as ‘Ponine hangs up the phone and lets Azelma know that she’s coming. The gears start turning in his head though…

Coffee and Flowers and Meddling Little Sisters by A_Butter_Churner

Summary
The truth was, there really was nothing special about the coffee shop Enjolras went out of his way to visit every morning. While the baristas there all knew him by name and had his order saved for him almost two minutes before he actually walked in the door and they were all lovely people, there was no, as Joey Richter put it so eloquently, “Latte Hottay”. (Most of the baristas were lesbians anyway).
However, just next to the coffee shop, was a tiny little flower shop with pink and yellow shutters and geraniums in the front. It seemed incredibly cliché, like something out of Jehan’s fanfiction, to have a local coffee shop next to a local flower shop. But Enjolras couldn’t care about that too much when he could be staring at the florist who worked there.

Summary
“Let’s go over it again.” Combeferre insists, shaking his best friend’s shoulder. Enjolras simply stares up at him with weary eyes.
“‘Ferre. We’ve been over it about a million times. You’re psyching yourself out.” The blonde chides sternly.
Combeferre bites his lip. “I know. It’s just… I don’t wanna mess this up. Especially not for Courf. He deserves everything and… I don’t think I could take it if he said no.”
