Summary
Trinity Santos is not okay.
She’s never really been okay. But she’s held herself together this long — on caffeine, adrenaline, and silence sharp enough to cut.The Pitt sees it. Langdon sees it.
And for once, maybe she lets herself be seen.They don’t fix her. They just don’t leave.
Sometimes, that’s enough.Featuring: unresolved trauma, a lobster named Greg, a borrowed hoodie, and the terrifying prospect of letting someone care.
Or: the one where she stops pretending she’s fine — and someone finally calls her bluff.

Summary
Tiny fingers lift the sleek black phone from the hook as quarters are inserted into the labeled slot. When prompted, the fingers move to push the sequence of numbers they had long since memorized, leaving behind bloodied fingerprints on the keypad.
62742-4455
They wait, their breath coming in sharp heaves that causes a sharp stab in their ribs with each movement.
The dial tone sounds out before it abruptly ends with a click. “This is Hill.”
They’re quiet for a few moments. “Ria?”
There’s a pause before the reply came, slow and hesitant. “Alyssa?”Or what if Yelena did actually call Maria when she was ten?

These Things Eat at Your Bones by MessyDepressy95

Summary
“Tommy.” It’s a stuttered plea slipping free from the confines of his shredded mouth, a beg that he ain’t ashamed of as he writhes in his brother's unrelenting grasp, the sores lining his cheeks and rubbing against his teeth alight with fire.
He’s asking to be let go, to be able to go to his child because she needs him.
Because he had promised that he wouldn’t let her do this alone.
The people in that room don’t count.
They don’t know that her favorite color is forest green even though she’s never been in the woods, that her shoulder aches if she falls asleep on her right side because her foster father fractured it when she was eight and it healed wrong.
They don’t know that it’s her greatest fear - what’s happening inside that sterile room with grey walls, white bedding and too little warmth.
To let her die alone would be his failure, his broken promise, and he’s watching it happen. Her heart no longer beating and her chest failing to rise.
*
Even when he’s fighting cancer, Joel can’t help but be dad as fuck, especially when Ellie’s fighting it right beside him.Bookmarked by Bftld

Summary
...
What would have happened if Joel was the one bitten at the museum? This is an exploration of TLOU, in which Tess takes Ellie across country in search of the Fireflies. What begins as a reluctant partnership grows into something much deeper, where bonds forged in fire breathe new hope, and a chance for redemption.
...
“You don’t have to answer now,” Tess tells her. “I get that it’s a big thing to ask, but I have to ask it. I just…I want you to know you always have a choice, here. Even if we do find Tommy, and we do find some Fireflies. You’re smart, and you have great instincts. Keep asking questions. Make informed decisions whenever possible.”
“That’s not always an option when you’re a fourteen-year-old kid,” Ellie points out, sounding much older than she is.
“When it comes to your body and what you do with it, it should always be. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Not even me."

Summary
“What the hell are you doing?” He asks, voice sharp in his surprise. He’d expected—well. He hadn’t expected this. The girl in front of him is careful to keep her hands up, only nodding at the pack now on the ground. He’d thrown her pretty hard against the wall when she’d stepped out from the shadowed corner, but nothing he can see looks bleeding or broken, at least.
“I’m here from Leroy. He didn’t want to come. Said you might, like, cut off his fingers or something. So he sent me.”

Summary
Spoilers for Episode 06 of Season 02:
“Isha!”
Everything was a smear of pink. Jinx didn’t slow down. She couldn’t afford to. She ran and lunged. It was going to hurt. She knew it would. But maybe Isha would forgive her.
//
Jinx can't handle another death. The moment she saw Isha run toward Warwick, Jinx knew it was all going to happen again. But this time she could change it. She wouldn't let it.

Summary
There is a tap on the table top and a quiet, “Scusatemi, signorina,” and she looks up. There is a boy there, no more than twenty, and he is undoubtedly American, though his Italian is so polished that even she would be unsure if not for his hesitant slouch— discomfort, it says I am out of place. His gaze is not demanding. It is not cold, either— but intelligent, distant. Not assessing, but calculating. As if she is made of code, and he is reading her.
“I speak English,” she tells him, “better than Italian.”
He slumps with something akin to relief. “Oh- that’s. That’s cool. I’m really sorry to ask-“ and he looks it, wincing and pulling his own fingers, “-but would it be okay if I sit with you? My mamma is in a formaggeria across the piazza and I desperately don’t want to stand in there and smell cheese for an hour so I was gonna grab an espresso but every other table is filled and I don’t want to impose but—?” He looks at her. He is sharp, ardent with a wisdom that puts her teeth on edge. No young man should look like that: as if he has stared straight into the barrel of a gun and laughed at the bullet, swallowed it whole.
He looks old for his age. He just. He looks.

Summary
Catalina Gray is ten, has a genius IQ, a rather unhealthy coffee addiction, and is somewhat excellent at running away from her problems. Exhibit A: on the run from CPS after months of being under the legal guardianship of her abusive uncle. One day, she breaks into a strange hidden safehouse. It turns out to belong to none other than the Black Widow.
.......
“You have ten seconds to tell me the truth.” The woman started counting at an alarmingly fast pace. “Ten, nine, eight, seven…”
“Those aren’t mississippis!” Cat protested.
For a second, the woman paused. “Excuse me?”
“In school, you’ve gotta go, ‘One-mississippi-two-mississippi-three—’”
“I’m going to shoot you.”
......
“We weren’t preparing to find a little girl in the safehouse.”
“I’m not a little girl.”
“I hate to break it to you, but you are.”
“I hate to break it to you, but I don’t usually trust people who try to kill me.”
“Would you get over that already? That was twenty minutes ago.”

Summary
Natalia is stacking blocks very carefully when the adults come into the room. None of them look at her, because they're all looking at her father. He's wearing combat gear, and the hair on the left side of his head is slicked back with blood. He smells like smoke and something unnameable, sweet and dark and a little sickly in her nose.
Father is saying, “Don't be ridiculous. The only thing children are good at is disobeying.”

Summary
“Fury and I went to take a look at that classified power source,” she took a bite of the muffin, it was good for the mass-produced kind.
Natasha hummed for her to continue, eyes still closed.
“And there was this portal that opened up but it was dark and we couldn't see anything in it,” she took another bite and watched the redheads breathing slow, “but then there was like this office that we could see into.”
She finished the muffin and threw the wrapper away in the trashcan by her door, “And in the background, there was this writing on a whiteboard but I think I wrote it down wrong because for the last five hours I have been coming up with nothing. Or maybe it was just office stuff. Oh and I think I might be going crazy because I saw a kid in front of it before it closed.”
Or: What happened if before Loki emerged from the Tesseract portal, he sent a child through. Changing the course of Maria Hill's life.
