    Summary

    “Val, do it.” She recognizes the popping static of ghost speak. Danny raises his head and the pain in his eyes is gone, replaced with grim, angry determination.

    She opens her mouth to respond, but he stops her.

    “Don’t reply, just shoot me. If you do it, you’re free.”

    He couldn’t survive this. Not unless there's something major he isn’t telling her.

    And then she remembers there is.

    //

    Valerie and Danny are kidnapped by the GIW due to their anomalous ectoplasmic radiation readings. In the lab, they're put trough testing to determine whether or not they still count as human. Danny struggles with the cost of keeping his secrets to avoid hurting Valerie, while Valerie grapples with the real ramifications of her suit’s technology and how ghostly she's becoming. Together they must both face their truths if they want to get out alive.

    Summary

    “I think he can’t come today!”

    Akechi startles. Embarrassing. Yoshizawa is hardly unobtrusive. The street lights of the January evening pick up the shocking red of her hair and the sparkle of her eyes. She moves like a dancer, as if every step might become a graceful leap. Strangers she passes smile to see her go. She’s full of sparkle this week; the wilting flower performance of the first half of January is all over, and she’s started tying her hair up again in what is probably—

    Akechi doesn’t care about this. Why does he still notice these things? It doesn’t matter.

     

    —probably a sincere tribute to her dead sister, rather than a tragic imitation.

     

    Spend long enough playing the detective, and some sad and pointless part of you can’t stop pretending.

    Summary

    After a podcast turns the shoddy investigation of Jason Todd’s death into a national issue, the BAU is left to solve the case and smooth over the scandal.
    The deeper they dig, the more suspicious the story seems, and the more clues start pointing in one direction: Dick Grayson.
    —------------
    The Criminal Minds team knows a liar when they meet one, and Dick Grayson is a liar to the bone. Unfortunately for everyone, ‘Dick Grayson is a cold blooded murderer’ is an easier leap for a team of criminal profilers than “Dick Grayson is protecting his father’s identity as a vigilante.”

    Summary

    They grew up together, it only makes sense that their personalities have bled over and that they've picked up traits from each other. It just might not be the ones you would think and it might not have ended in childhood.

    or,
    five times Midoriya and Bakugou show class 1a that they are perhaps more alike than they previously thought due to their shared childhood and one time they copy the other despite now being teenagers and "not friends."

    Summary

    The first time she meets him, he's nothing more than an almost-missed appointment. 

    ~~~

    Dean is silent for a long, tense moment, then he gruffly says, "It's not for banishing the angels. It's to summon them. So, it doesn't—it's not to get rid of 'em, but to draw 'em in." 

    Mitzi can't help but glance up at him at that. His voice is so heavy with so much unexplained pain, and she doesn't understand why, or what angels have to do with it. She knows religion can impact people. She's very aware that it can get complicated, and that it can be a huge source of pain for someone, but Dean sounds grievously wronged, somehow, as if it's a truly personal thing. 

    She pushes through, focusing back on her job, clearing her throat before murmuring, "Well, I guess we all want angels to visit us sometimes." 

    "Just the one," Dean mumbles. 

    "Your guardian angel?" Mitzi asks. 

    Dean breathes out, "Something like that. As close to one as an angel will ever get."
