Summary
Every hair on his new body stood on end as he quickly patted himself down, finding a wallet in his back pocket but nothing else until his shoe caught on the strap of a duffle bag, half buried in the sand under his bench. He yanked the bag up beside him, giving it a quick shake to loosen the sand clinging to the canvas fabric, before turning his attention to stripping the wallet bare.
He decided quite quickly that his other half was an asshole.
There was plenty of loose cash in his wallet, but not a single personal item of any manner. No ID. No bank card. No pictures of girlfriends or family. Not even an old receipt stuffed in the bottom.
At the very least, life hadn’t disappointed him with how shitty things could get.

Summary
The cop turned to the woman with a roll of his eyes. “Which delinquent do you want first?”
“They are children, Officer Wright, not delinquents.” She stated, calm and collected despite the hour.
“Which child would you like to speak with first,” the cop tried again with a bite of frustration to his words. “The one that put four men in the hospital with his fists, or the one that put two men in hospital with a gun?”
The woman remained un-ruffled, turning her gaze on the cop for only a moment. “But it wasn’t his gun, was it?”
The cop decided to shut his mouth after that, gesturing to the pair of them instead and waiting for her decision.
“I’d like to speak with Mr Doe first.” She said, her eyes settling on Nathaniel.
Andrews head snapped up, anger flitting over his features before quickly being filed away again. When Nathaniel made no move to stand, he nudged him with his elbow. “I haven’t been Doe since my last stint at Juvie.” He stated, keeping his attention fixed to Nathaniel now. “I guess that means they’re referring to you this time.”

Summary
“Do tell him that we have enjoyed watching his team’s success in the American league, perhaps if he had joined Day’s team, he would have won the championship.”
The translator’s lips twitched at the comment. “Petra wants you to know how much they have enjoyed watching your team’s success in the American leagues.”
Andrew waits for the rest of the comment to follow. The translator seems set on editing, unfortunately. “Are they paying you well to play diplomat?”
The comment is out before he can stop it. It seems to take the translator by surprise and his mouth twitches into a barely contained grin.
“A certain amount of discretion is expected to keep international relations happy, yes.”
Andrew is intrigued by his honesty. “Tell them that Day would pitch a fit if he knew they found time to watch another countries Exy team. If you have time to watch than you have time to practice, after all.”
He translates perfectly with a smirk at being called out. Andrew watches him closely. If asked, he would say that this man posed a threat. In reality, he enjoyed the way he hadn’t backed down when being caught out.
“Why am I here if you speak the language?” The translator asks in English.

Summary
*Now with epilogue!
Occasionally Tyler speculated on the words on his right hip and the city girl that might be attached to them. Was his soulmate really from New York of all places? And why, when he finally met her, did she act like nothing happened? He’s got to know, and the Wranglers have a few thoughts as well. ❤️
**
Tyler frowned a little. Kate hadn’t cracked an inch, except for a slight waver when she said New York. He was willing to bet good money she was hoping against hope that he didn’t have those words.
That was almost hurtful. If he was less sure of himself, it might even sting.
But by the time she said it, he’d clocked her reluctance, her poker face. Whether it was personal or not, he wasn’t the kind of guy to force her in the moment. He had more game than that, and besides, what kind of story would that be to tell their grandkids?
Maybe she pretended she didn’t have his words because of his reputation, or maybe she was one of those who resented the idea of soulmates, or maybe she just wanted him to try a little harder… Whatever it was, he was gonna find out.- Language:

Summary
The scar was Kate's reminder that she was a murderer.
That even though the news and the cops and her therapist didn't have the guts to come out and say it, she had led three people she loved to their deaths. It was penance. Tyler touching her there... Maybe it reminded her that she'd probably kill him too.
So yeah. It was a good thing that she was having this little episode by herself.
(Kate's scar is acting up for the first time in a while. Tyler helps her through it.)

“You couldn’t have grabbed the back of my shirt?” she says, voice gone annoyingly high-pitched. Somewhere on the ground, Dexter and Lily are cackling so hard they need to hold on to each other for balance.
“How about a, ‘Thank you, Tyler?’” He’s grinning. “I’d take a ‘Gee, Tyler, what quick thinking you have.’ Or a ‘Wow, Tyler, I sure am grateful that you take care of those fast twitch muscle fibers. You do sprints?’”

Summary
Harry Potter was very lonely. Yes, he had friends, a good job, and just finished his mastery in defense, but it was usually just him and his son all alone at night when everyone else had families and lives apart from them. When he learned by chance that he may actually have some living family, it should have been an easy decision to reach out to them. Unfortunately, nothing comes easily to Harry. Harry's biological father just had to be the most difficult person in the world to get a meeting to see, and the absolutely most suspicious when confronted with a paternity claim.
Tony Stark was very lonely. He and Pepper had recently broken up. His friends had betrayed him, and he was now forced to live with the very same people who had hurt him. He didn't think he could take one more blow and stay standing under it. Tony didn't have family; he didn't know what to do with family; too bad Tony's family wasn't sure what to do with him either, but they were going to give it a hell of a try anyway.

Summary
There were very few things in Harry Potter's life that he was certain of. There was one absolute certainty though; he'd felt it in his bones for as long as he could remember. He, Harry Potter, was dead. The living people around him might not believe, but the dead sure did. Oh well, it doesn't impact his life much. Besides, it's nice to get help with his schoolwork from his parents.

To anyone who notices Jack Frost they only see a young and bright spirit that is not believed in. Hardly worth more than a glance, if that.
To Pitch Black however, he is something more.
So much more.

Summary
Jack Frost just wants to be seen. A little hard, when you're a myth among myths, and not even your fellow spirits can see you. It only gets harder when the Man in the Moon decides Jack is to be a Guardian. But how is that even possible, when the only thing that even knows you exist is a little tooth fairy?
(Or: Jack's heart breaks a lot, Baby Tooth is a damn good friend, and Bunny will eventually make away like a bandit with Jack Frost.)Series
