    Summary

    “You know, you might be the only thing alive that knows my name. I don’t know how long I’ve been sleeping, but it must have been long enough for people to have forgotten.” The stag finished the last of the berries and stared at George wonderingly. George chuckled, plucked another handful to offer to it, and continued, “I’d gone to sleep tired. And I wake up tired. Tell me, do you think that’s fair?”

    The stag, because it was a stag, did not reply.

    But George didn’t mind that, either.

    Summary

    Tommy was handed a small flyer in printed in black and white, with the words “POETRY NIGHT - OPEN MIC” splayed across the front in bubbled font. He fumbled with his binder as he took it, eyes wide as he said, “are you sure? I mean, I love poetry and all, but I don’t think-I’m not sure—what if I can’t write poetry?”

    Mr. Sam’s dark eyes softened, and he reached out to place a hand on Tommy’s shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Everyone has to start somewhere; every poet, from me to Rudy Francisco, started off without knowing a clue about what we were doing. Tommy, it’s not about if you can or cannot write poetry, it’s about if you want to.”

    or:
    The performance poetry AU in which Tommy joins a slam team and finds a home in the arts.

    Summary

    “It had been like this all summer. Ever since Mike had come to California and Will had to watch as he completely bypassed his so called ‘best friend’ and instead paid attention only to El, kissing her so often it was almost as if he knew what it did to Will. But it was there. In the stolen glances from opposite ends of the room, in the fleeting touches - Mike’s hand on the base of Will’s neck, gently guiding him forwards, or Will going to pass Mike something, but neither pulling away soon enough for that to be all it was - and in the longing gaze Will couldn’t help but direct at Mike, the same look he had almost thought he’d seen reflected in his best friend’s own eyes.”

    ______

    Or, Mike and Will finally have THAT conversation in the back of Argyle’s pizza van.

    Summary

    Oh fuck. He’s coming back. Tommy curls up so none of his important organs are accessible, the guy has only strangled him up till now, but there was blood on the tarp, so maybe he likes to stab too. Tommy doesn’t want to be stabbed anywhere important.

    Techno just sits on the other end of the couch and bounces his leg, mostly just looking at the fire, but occasionally glancing at Tommy.

    “So, uh, you do anything interesting in school today?” he asks, Tommy would laugh at his awkwardness if he wasn’t so confused.

    “I failed a math test,” he says. God he wishes he could go back to that being his biggest problem.

    Summary

    For something new to grow, something else has to die.
    But the three of them—Ochako, Katsuki, and Izuku—almost seem content to live in what’s already rotten.

    They’ve been through hell and came back wanting more.

    Call it grief. Call it need. Call it love—if you want to lie about it.
    Whatever it is, it festers. It bleeds slow. It bites back.

    They don't want to move on.
    They're digging in.

    It’s a three-car pileup.
    And they keep crashing back into each other, teeth first.

    (Aka where they fall apart, around, and into each other—until there’s nothing left but the mess they made.)
