    Summary

    Thorin had cocked open one eye and looked over at him. "How do you fight it? This draw for… for power. What stops you from giving in?"

    Bilbo did not watch the way sweat beaded on his forehead, how it traced its riverous path down to dwarven lips. "Well I um— I tend to think of something better. Something to drown it out."

    Thorin had sucked in a breath and squeezed his eyes shut a moment, and the next words came out shakily. "What do you think of, hobbit?"

    "Generally speaking… you."

    Summary

    In the rebuilt Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a butterfly flaps its wings. Halfway around the world, a hurricane is born. Flights across the globe are canceled, delayed, or rescheduled. Among them is Air Asia flight D75053 to Kuala Lumpur, scheduled to depart Gate 149 at Haneda International Airport Terminal 3 at precisely sixteen hundred hours.

    Nanami Kento should be on that flight, ascending into weightlessness and leaving Tokyo’s greater metropolis behind for two weeks. Instead, it’s 16:53, his flight status remains UNKNOWN, and he’s been forced into meandering around the Tokyo Souvenir Shop North like a tourist. That is until a very tall, very loud stranger walks into his life.

    Summary

    Haruhi said to the stranger, "The food's good, isn't it? Have you tried the small quiches?"

    She'd spoken English on the assumption that most people in the room would likely understand it, but when the man turned it became apparent that he was Japanese. Haruhi knew this because she recognised his face. It was the face of Japan's ace skater, Katsuki Yuuri.

    "K-K-Katsuki Yuuri-senshu!" Haruhi clapped her hand over her mouth, feeling the blood rise to her face.

    "Ah," said Katsuki. He was different off the ice. His spectacles reduced the impact of his eyes, and the shape of his face was somehow softer, less distinctive. "Do I know you?"

     

    Yuuri makes a friend. Viktor hates it.

    Summary

    House and Death play Operation for Wilson's life.

    *

    “This is the part where you ask me if I'm fucking him, you know.” He's grateful for the last defense of being nasty, a familiar trench to crawl into. “Maybe I’m not even asking out of the goodness of my heart. This could just be… sex. Selfishness. Aren’t you supposed to ask if it’s the right kind of love?”
    Death takes a long look at him.
    YOU ARE CHALLENGING ON HIS BEHALF. ‘DON'T GO’ IS THE ONLY KIND OF LOVE THERE IS.

    Summary

    Phoenix harbours no illusions that getting his badge back is going to be an easy task, even if the hardest part of clearing his name is technically over. He's fully aware that his reinstatement is going to be a bit more complicated than just passing the bar and is going to be more of a case of:

    Step 1: Save money to retake bar exam
    Step 2: Study frantically to pass said bar exam
    Step 3: Pass bar exam
    Step 4: Hope and pray that he'll somehow be able to still pull in clients after his reputation got burned to the ground
    Step 5: Haircut
    Step 6: New suit
    Step 7: Finally, finally confess his passionate love for Edgeworth that has been eating him up inside for the past 25 years
    Step 8: ???? Lawyer???

    Thankfully he has a pretty solid support network of people willing to help him out. And if Edgeworth has anything to say about it, they'll probably be able to cut out a few of those steps along the way.

    Which is why Phoenix promises himself one thing. If he passes the bar again, he is absolutely going to kiss the Chief Prosecutor square on the lips. Whatever happens after that, they'll just have to wait and see.

    Summary

    Miya puts on his most pitiful face and tucks himself into Joe’s side. “My dads are getting divorced,” he says, trying to sound like the very subject of conversation puts him close to tears. He feels Joe’s chest constrict, like he’s trying to hold in a reaction, and Miya digs one of his nails into his friend's side. If Joe laughs now, not only will Miya commit homicide, but the victim will be one specific head chef.

    Joe’s chest relaxes and he says, in the same sad tone as Miya, “He was cheating on me with the head chef at his restaurant."

    Summary

    “But how can other people tell who you are on the inside? How can they see?”

    “They can’t, Sherlock, that’s the point.”

    “Well, then they shouldn’t be allowed to tell you what you are. It’s stupid, it doesn’t make any sense.”

    Sherlock knows a lot of things. He knows where plants get their green colour from, what the first element on the periodic table is, that DNA is the shortened form of the term deoxyribonucleic acid, how long it usually takes his mould cultures to grow to a respectable size and that Mycroft is his brother. He doesn't understand why people keep disagreeing with that last one, though.

    Summary

    Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.

     

    From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.

     

    The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.

     

    All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.

     

    Bruce couldn’t let that happen.

     

    Not then, not ever again.

    -🦇-

    Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.
