Summary
They got married in this universe.
Jayce grabs Viktor’s left hand, examining it. He looks at his own.
Twin rings adorn their fingers, Viktor’s golden, Jayce’s silver, both holding a fragment of blue crystal in the middle.
They’re married. They vowed their life to the other, they promised themselves to one another, they actually acted upon the deep-rooted emotions that coursed through the garden that was their relationship, that stubborn weed called love, that always came back no matter how many times you plucked it.

or; what if it was Jayce who got to see his life in an alternate universe (now with an epilogue)Bookmarked by BenTheBard

Summary
“I’m in love with my partner.”
Vi raises an eyebrow.
“Well, if they’re your partner already then what’s the issue?”
She gives him a blank look. Jayce levels one back. He isn’t sure which one of them is more confused.
_______________________
Zaun is a free nation and peace has come to the twin cities. Yet Jayce still pines for Viktor. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Summary
Eddie leans against the van to peer over his shoulder as he connects the leads. He’s close enough that Steve can smell him; close enough that he can feel the shift of air on the side of his neck as Eddie breathes. If it were one of the kids, he’d shove them off and reassert his personal space, but it’s never really bothered him when it’s Eddie. It’s distracting, but Eddie is always kind of distracting. Steve doesn’t mind.
-
Or: Steve fixes Eddie's van and figures out several things about himself in quick succession.

Summary
Just as Steve is starting to fiddle with the fly on Eddie’s jeans, a police siren gives one short whine from somewhere close behind them, and Eddie’s eyes fly open to see red and blue lights bouncing off the surrounding trees.
“Hey, morons!” someone yells from outside the car, and Eddie immediately recognizes the voice as Chief Hopper’s, “Outta the car – now.”
He’s not all that worried, believe it or not. Eddie’s got a pretty good amount of faith in Steve’s ability to spin up some story to keep them out of any real trouble, and as they sheepishly climb out of the car, Eddie prepares himself for a whole show of, “Yes Chief, sorry Chief, it won’t happen again Chief.”
So imagine Eddie's complete and utter surprise when Hopper barks, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” and Steve only rolls his eyes and says, “What’s it to you?”

Summary
“You do know we’re bearding?”
There’s that word again. Fuck, he feels so left out. Why does everyone seem to know what it means?
When Steve doesn’t answer, Eddie continues, a little kinder, “You know what that is, right?”
Steve whispers a no under his breath.
“A little louder, darling.”
“No.”
“God, this explains so much.” And then Eddie laughs and Steve feels all kinds of things, but mostly embarrassed.

Summary
“That’s nice,” Maki acknowledges, “but I’m not.”
Geto frowns. “...Not what?”
Maki looks up at him. “The girl of the group,” they answer simply.
Geto blinks. “You’re not?”
“Nope.” Maki takes another bite of cereal, amused as Geto’s face flickers through several different expressions as he tries to figure out how to respond. He opens his mouth, then closes it again. Maki would laugh at him if it weren’t also sort of heartwarming that he’s searching for the right thing to say.
(If he weren’t the only one who’d ever bothered to think through their response to Maki coming out to them.)
or: five times geto's students come out to him + one time geto comes out to his students

Summary
With time, it becomes familiar— the shape of a club, the slide of the boomerang, the heft of a spear, the curl of a fist prepared to land a punch— and sometimes, when he looks at his hands, he doesn't recognize them. They had once been unsure and clumsy and soft, but now they are certain and steady and rough.
He begins wrapping them in fabric, the way all the men in the village did, just so that he doesn't have to look at them and wonder if they’re his or not.
(It isn’t just his hands that don’t look like they’re his— he looks in the mirror, and no longer recognizes the person staring back at him.)

(And Zuko wants to laugh, he does, because he’s twenty-one, and he's the guardian of a five-year-old sister he didn’t even know existed until his mother died in a car crash, and he's legally responsible for his nineteen-year-old sister who’s been admitted for almost a year of her short life, and rent is due, and his temp job doesn’t pay nearly enough, and he wishes he had someone to help, but he has no clue where Uncle is, and no other adult has ever cared enough to help, and he’s tired.
He’s just so, so, tired.)

Summary
Saving the world is hard at the best of times. Jake finds that it's harder when the man he's saving it with is the spitting image of his boyfriend, who's only been buried for a day.
Worse, he cannot bring himself to hate Mickey. Not like he rightly should.
--
The world doesn't stop because Ricky Smith is dead. But it's a helluva thing to have his ghost beside you every day.
A Pete's World slow burn. Follows Jake & Mickey from the events post-Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel through to Journey's End and beyond. Canon compliant in the sense that canon can't prove I'm wrong. Updated approximately weekly.

Summary
Remus hates Moony, the stuffed animal wolf that Sirius brings to Hogwarts. But when Sirius’s mother destroys it, Sirius is so distraught that Remus offers to be his Moony that night.
Over the years, as Sirius’s edges become sharper and crueler, Remus wonders whether that version of Sirius is gone forever, especially after Sirius betrays Remus’s secret by telling Severus Snape about the Whomping Willow entrance.
Remus realizes then how dangerous it is to love Sirius Black.
After Sirius runs away from home, he breaks Remus’s heart a second time by dating James Potter.
“James and I were just a friends-with-benefits arrangement,” Sirius insists later.
Remus isn’t sure what to believe. And then Sirius asks him a favor:
“Can you kiss me? In front of James.”
Sirius is convinced this is the only way to help James move on with Lily. And Remus finds himself unable to say no.

Summary
Harry did not know this and would not know this until Mrs. Granger mentioned it casually over a Christmas dinner years and years later-- but she and Mr. Granger reported the Dursleys for child abuse and neglect, over and over.
The reports got lost-- minds scrubbed down, papers vanished-- but they kept calling in reports. They considered kidnapping. They couldn't imagine why the wizarding world might want to keep their chosen one somewhere so toxic, why they might want to keep this underfed child and his messy hair with those people.
"My mother left me a blood protection spell," said Harry, whose scar had not ached in years. He poked at his mashed potatoes under the focused attention of Mrs. Granger's stern little forehead wrinkle. "I had to live with family, blood family."
"Then they should have made them treat you right," Mrs. Granger said, as though it was that simple.
Mr. Granger gave Harry another helping of peas.

Summary
Steve jerks awake, sitting up so quickly that Robin almost topples over and staring wildly around the room. When his gaze lands on Eddie, he blanches visibly.
“Oh, shit,” he mutters. “Come on, no. Come on. Not again.”
“Harrington?” Eddie asks slowly. He does not love the way that Steve is staring at him right now. He really doesn’t. Steve looks like he’s staring at a ghost, a bloodied monster, like Eddie is something that should not exist in the light of day. “You good, dude?”
