"That reminds me, Superman," she says. "How's the kid?"
". . . you'd have to ask his dad?" Clark replies in bemusement. He guesses she's assuming he hangs out with the Justice Gang regularly, and it's not like he never hangs out with the Justice Gang, just it's only been a week since everything with Boravia and Lex and the pocket dimension trying to eat Metropolis happened and things have been—
"What?" Eve says, wrinkling her nose at him in confusion herself. "No, not Rex's baby; Ultraman's kid."

Summary
With news of an Emperor’s ship making their way towards them on the horizon, Alvida expects the same sputtering, bug-eyed spit-take reaction she’s used to seeing from the clown. Instead, what she gets is Buggy blowing out a deep, aggravated sigh that drags out for a long period, wearing an incredibly sour-faced expression as he glares out at the incoming ship the same way one might glare at a dirty smudge on their glass.
(A canon divergence from that time when Ace was on Buggy’s ship)- Language:

Summary
Goffredo Tedesco doesn't do graduate students, Americans, or flings with tourists. Aldo Bellini swore he wouldn't fall in love over a semester abroad. After a night out in Rome, suddenly everything is different.
Maybe one summer of shared cigarettes would be enough. Maybe it would have to be.

Summary
“Tell them to rejoice and be glad,” Eminenzia Bellini says, his voice lukewarm. “Tell them that I call it, ah…a victory for progress over regression. I will celebrate this new chapter of history with prayers, and I suggest you do the same.”
Thin smile, curt nod. Vestments as red as the Passion. Today, and for all the days to come, chronicles, journals, and memoirs will remember Cardinal Bellini as a faithful supporter of Pope Innocent XIV.
______Aldo deals with the aftermath of the conclave, along with his pattern of wanting things he cannot have.

Summary
The first time - the day Tedesco found out - was the worst day of Aldo’s life.
He’d never run from Tedesco before. But then, he’d never been humiliated on this level before. He’d never been hard during one of their arguments before.
Had he?
But he slept now, deeply and dreamlessly, his mind no longer crowded with the guilt and shame and all-consuming fear. Somehow it seemed that a knot Aldo hadn’t known he was carrying in his chest was loosening. Someone knew his secret. And while it hurt that it was Tedesco, it hurt that Tedesco had chosen to use his secret to hurt him, it hurt a lot less than he had imagined it would. There was a sense of being fully seen, fully and finally known, that soothed parts of him that had been hurt for a long longer and a lot worse than this.
Friends, it's not canon to the book (barely canonical to the movie) - I was inspired.

i'll paint you mornings of gold by howlingmoonrise (TheDarkStoryteller) for OceanMyth
Fandoms: Labyrinth (1986)
25 Jul 2024
Tags
Summary
It started slowly. Slowly enough to creep unnoticed until the roots are too deep to dig out, until he had seeds for marrow, sap for blood, and there was no undoing it anymore. If he was weak, it was because the Labyrinth was still recovering; if his lungs felt tight, then it was because of that bitter taste of defeat. It was only one morning, when he woke amongst the broken ruins of his castle, cradled in torn sheets of spidersilk and sunlight, that the pain was so sharp, so tight, that he turned to the side and retched - and then there was the taste of sweet nectar on his tongue. And petals, small things, innocent as any flower could be, clinging to his throat, to the roof of his mouth, to the backs of his teeth.
So he orders the ivy burnt. The roses beheaded. The lilies torn by the roots.
No flower will live in his Labyrinth, after this.

Summary
“I’ll think about it,” Charlotte says with a false, tremulous smile, already knowing she will not take it. Tia had been too proud to take her help before: she remembers wanting to help, wanting so badly, and Big Daddy holding her hand and telling her that Tia’s family would not take anything they didn’t feel like they’d earned. She’d thought it stupid, then, and she still thinks it’s stupid, now. Charlotte will take whatever is offered and then more, but not this. “But I think I’d rather stay. This is still my home.”
It’s her home, but for how much longer? The creditors are fewer, but with Big Daddy around, they at least knew there was a good chance of getting their money’s worth and didn’t bother pushing too hard. Now there’s only Charlotte, and Big Daddy had always kept her away from the business side of things, so she knows nothing. All she knows are the growing piles of correspondence untouched by the entrance, and the people clamouring at the mansion’s gates, and the pitying looks she gets whenever she tries to venture more than one step outside.
She wants Big Daddy back. No matter the price.
--
Charlotte has always been all about wanting. Wishing on stars just didn't cut it anymore.
