Summary
He remembers one summer, a few years back. It was the Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival over in Asakusa. The night was warm, and the stars glittered overhead, but they were merely an opening act for the fireworks show. He stood nearby a street vendor’s stall while his companion practically emptied his wallet on yaki-imo. Tengen, still chewing on his skewered yakitori, raised an eyebrow.
“There’s a million types of food here, and you’re spending your money on sweet potatoes?”
Five years ago, Tengen Uzui shared a night at the Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival with his closest friend. Nothing has felt as colorful since.

Summary
“Thought.. maybe I could help,” he says. “With— y’know, your focus.”
“How is this supposed to help?”
“You’re tense.” Jayce’s hands settle around Viktor’s hips, thumbs pressing into the joint just right. “Maybe you’ll work better if you loosen up a little.”
OR: the one where Viktor overworks himself (again) and needs some help to relax. That’s what lab partners are for, right?

READ NOTES FOR WARNINGS; stay safe!
Astarion is used to torture. The past few years have made sure of that. He’s used to the ripping off of fingernails, the carving of his pale skin, the lashing, the stabbing, the slicing, the agony of it all. He’s used to claws digging into his lungs and tearing out his prettiest screams.
But this? This was the first time anything of this sort had happened.
It was the first time Astarion’s ruthless desire to survive slipped away, and in that moment, he wanted nothing more than to cower in the sweet clutches of death.

Summary
The table is littered with memories, and in each one, Kurt’s smiling.
Logan knocks back another beer, puts his head between his hands, and chokes back a sob. Drunkenly, he slurs—
“God, I miss you so much.”
An examination of Logan’s grief, specifically after his and Storm’s interaction in Second Coming #2. Heavily inspired by “What Would I Do?” from Falsettos.

Summary
“Logan? What are you doing up, mein freund?”
Logan thinks up a million things he could say, like I’ll sleep when I’m dead or I was doing my usual midnight pushups, but he doesn’t say any of that. There’s no use bothering him with bullshit excuses.
“You’re the only one who understands.”
The skeletons in Logan's closet are haunting him again. There's only one man in the mansion that truly knows how he feels.

Summary
Five years after the Inquisition’s disbandment, a disillusioned Dorian takes a leave of absence from the Magisterium and journeys south to visit Cullen, where the fully recovered once-commander runs a rehab program for templars out of his manor house in the Bannorn. Dorian, wounded grievously in both body and spirit by The Iron Bull's final betrayal, is still struggling with his losses and the man they've made him. Seeing his old friend awakens memories, both good and bad, which he'd thought long buried. As the two reconnect, spending time together on the farm with Cullen’s many dogs, they begin to realize they may have more to offer one another than simply reminiscing about a shared past.

Summary
Finnick Odair is fourteen when he wins the Hunger Games.
Finnick Odair is fourteen when President Snow tells him that he is going to offer him a proposition. President Snow explains to him that he is very desirable. President Snow tells him that he is a very handsome young boy.
He says that he’s fourteen. He’s too young. Finnick Odair has never even begun to consider anything like what the President is describing.
The President tells him that he’s already done most of the work. Hasn’t he? Finnick has presented himself as charming, charismatic, strong. Finnick has been effortlessly outgoing and friendly. He is everything that the Capitol loves. The President tells him that it is simply a product of his own making.
(or, finnick odair's life right after his games)

Summary
“Unless someone is already dead,” Dorian says as he drags the door open, “you’ve interrupted a horrible nap for no reason, and I will kill you.”
The look Vivienne gives him reminds Dorian so heavily of Maevaris that he almost laughs—unbothered by his antics, concerned for the rest—but he very quickly reconsiders it. Whatever semblance of acquaintanceship they’ve stumbled upon isn’t nearly strong enough to survive it, and despite how awful he feels, Dorian hasn’t a death wish.
or: periods are a bitch. magic, unsurprisingly, is helpful.
