    Summary

    Jake only knew pain, fronting in the middle of a fight, a trigger…fronting when mom beat them.

    Jake was never taught comfort. That was reserved for Marc and Steven…

    Jake only knew pain, so pain is his comfort.

    ...but maybe he could learn other forms of comfort.

    Summary

    Avoiding pain is only natural, but it works too well, gets stronger and stronger until it's all you know how to do.

    A bunch of times that people tried to help Marc Spector, and a bunch of times they failed. (Plus one that went kind of okay.)

    Alternatively, a bunch of times Marc treaded water and one time he finally swam.

    Summary

    Lyra didn’t make it to the Retiring Room in time to warn Lord Asriel about the Tokay. As a result, Mrs. Coulter came to Jordan College much quicker than she’d anticipated, before whispers of the Gobblers had reached the city of Oxford. Together, the two start a new life in London, while tensions are still rising across the North.

    Summary

    It’s the 16th of December, and Mr. Stark will be in a shitty mood.

    Tony curls more firmly around himself, absently rubbing at an old bruise, twistedly enjoying the persistent ache. He feels another pair of eyes on him and turns slowly to acknowledge Clint Barton’s pale blue gaze. He considers sticking his middle finger out, but then again he doesn’t want to get on the wrong side of Clint and his gang. Not just because Steve and Thor, buff and blonde honchos, are more than capable of making him miserable (anyone on their team could, really, even - no, especially the redhead Natasha), but also because he has the most embarrassing friend crush on all of them.

    He’s not ungrateful, he tries not to be, he has Matt and Ezekiel and he loves them, he really does. But he can’t help daydreaming about what it’d be like to have a group as close-knit as theirs; attending sleepovers twice a month at Natasha’s place, waking up to Clint’s prank calls, sciencing with Bruce, eating Steve’s homemade breakfasts, cleaning up Thor’s messes while laughing, going for study sessions every other day. Not exactly a crush, but close enough.
