Summary
It’s not, like, a thing.
It’s only happened twice, if you don’t count the time during the pre-season when Max shoved a thigh against George’s crotch, and George, touch-deprived and broken-hearted, let out a sharp gasp and came instantly. Max, looking shocked and frightened, stormed away.

Summary
Tedesco is searching Bellini’s face up and down in stupefied frustration, making a discovery he’s missed a hundred times before, lower lip twitching, hopelessly trying to fish out useful words. At first Lawrence is tempted to say Aldo’s audacity infuriates him, but the rage comes too late.
The truth is, it doesn’t seem like it wants to come out at all.
Then Tedesco’s face colours, oddly pinkier than usual. “... Eminenza Bellini.”
Cardinal Bellini blows the smoke back. Cardinal Tedesco, much to his chagrin, is stirred.

Summary
Granny Rags attempts revenge for Corvo’s interference in the sewers - it doesn't quite go as planned. Corvo likes the fact that his name means ‘crow,’ but that doesn’t mean he ever actually wanted to be one, and for once Daud is (arguably) not responsible for this mess.

Summary
Ghost lets himself be pulled up slightly, his hand just as steady on Soap's thigh. "That what you need, Johnny?" he asks, licking his lips behind the balaclava. Soap’s eyes drop to his mouth, flick back up. "You wanna draw blood? Be in control?"
"Lt–" Soap starts, lips parted on a rough exhale. A plea or a warning, Ghost can't tell. He's too focused on the way Soap's pupils dilate, and the way the edge of the knife digs into the fabric at his throat.
---
When Graves rears his head not ten days after Las Almas Ghost starts questioning Soap's loyalty, and with it whatever's left of his own sanity.

Summary

Summary
A canon-compliant rework and extension of MW2: Reboot.
Simon was an unstoppable force, but Fate was an immovable object.
Stationary.
When you ignore it, and put up walls to secure yourself, it only delays the inevitable. Unavailing. It doesn’t stop it. Moments in time slowly drill their way through, picking an open scab until it turns to scar tissue. It will break your skin until it drains you. You will deteriorate into ashes, scattered by the wind.
And if you force yourself against Fate, shielded with a lifetime of trauma that you use to protect yourself– you’re forced to recognize why you put the walls up in the first place. Every moment full of agony, abuse, anguish.
Your walls will crumble, because Fate never fails.
And as Fate tore the first wall apart, Simon was pushed.

Summary
Sherlock presses his nose into my hair and inhales. “Told myself the whole way here we wasn’t gonna get into this again,” he says low. His breath moves soft against my scalp, and his words rumble deep into my bones. It sounds like the open sky throwing wind against the boulders up on Baker, rattling the thin walls of the tent with the rushing force of the mountain.
I hum. I don’t believe him for a second – steppin’ out of his gleaming white Ford back in Signal with his best shirt on and his curls all combed lookin’ up at me like he just took a breath after five years of holding it.
I know because I did the same.

A Temporal Paradox, Or A Helping Hand? by Shilo_Thunder
Fandoms: Half-Life (Video Games), Game: Black Mesa (Half-Life) - Fandom
26 Sep 2024

Summary
NOTE: Minor revision in progress. See Chapter 1 for details.
It has been forty-eight hours since the Resonance Cascade.
The Black Mesa Research Facility is scarred beyond recognition. What had once been the largest single scientific institution in the world has been turned into a battleground, where humanity is fighting against both itself and the invaders from another world. The facility's staff have been nearly wiped out by their own military, which itself has been forced by the alien threat to withdraw, while a secretive special forces unit struggles in vain to cover up their failures.
Desperate to stop the invasion, the surviving Black Mesa staff make frantic plans to hold off their attackers long enough for one of their number to take the fight to the enemy. But the addition of a stranded Marine, a shadowy bureaucrat, a further intrusion, and an atomic warhead continue to add new developments to the ongoing crisis.
As chaos takes hold across the world, strange and unaccustomed alliances are formed on both sides of the dimensional rift, as the diminishing number of survivors try desperately to save what they can of their existence as hell consumes the earth.

Summary
Thirty-five was the established boundary, Sherlock decided after extensive calculations. He would be dead by thirty-five. That was the kind of man he was. That was the kind of life he lived.
At thirty-four, a year before his appointed rendezvous with oblivion, Sherlock met a man. Nobody special, or so he thought, an ordinary man--who soon proved extraordinary, a man who killed without hesitation to protect a life Sherlock cared nothing about.
***
This is the story of how Sherlock Holmes lived long enough to grow old.

Summary
Will knew what had happened. He knew exactly how Abigail's ear had gotten into him, who had shoved it down his throat. He also knew that trying to indicate Hannibal as a killer again was futile. Jack seemed to want to believe him, going by the conversation in the BSHCI's visitor hall, but Jack needed something concrete, evidence. Hannibal had eluded capture for so long, he wasn't going to start leaving fingerprints or hairs at his crime scenes now.
No, Will was going to deal with Hannibal Lecter on his own terms. The man deserved to reap what he'd so carefully sowed, didn't he? He deserved to experience what he'd coaxed forth from the bottom of Will's soul, to see the result of his machinations.
---
After his release from the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Will doesn't return to work for the FBI.

Summary
After very publicly (some would argue theatrically) losing his mind and murdering three young women in an unconscious state, FBI consultant Will Graham is sentenced to serve three consecutive life sentences in the notorious Shawshank State Prison. Upon arrival, he is unsettled to find himself in a cell neighboring that of infamous serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter, who is 12 years into his own life sentences and amuses himself dealing in fine contraband.
When Will approaches Lecter with an unusual request, the two strike up a friendship which, over the years, develops into a powerful infatuation that will change them both irreversibly. But prison is no fairy-tale world, and there are dangers lurking around every corner: the violent captain of the guards, Jack Crawford; the scheming warden, Frederick Chilton; and the brutal gang known as the Sisters, led by the murderer Francis Dolarhyde.
And then there is the secret Will is hiding in his cell. A secret that, sooner or later, will change everything.

Inspired by the novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" by Stephen King and the film adaptation by Frank Darabont.

Crowley looked sheepishly at his expensive, snakeskin shoes. “Kidnap is such a strong word,” he said. “I rather like liberate."
