“You were right. When you said no one could be proud of me.”
Henry closes his eyes. The bed frame soaked up the fire's warmth, a compress pressed along his side. The flame sputters, cracks.
“I was angry. And I couldn’t have possibly meant it, when I know it’s not true.”
***
Between the battles, Henry and Hans find time to talk, touch, and live.Series

Hard-Hearted Men (a missing scene from Half-Hearted Circles) by curioushabitforarivergod

Summary
“It was your fault, you know,” he says, bitterly. “You told me the wrong colours. You got me fired.” He drinks the whiskey again. “I’ve gone over it again and again in my head. I couldn’t have made a mistake — how the fuck could I have made a mistake? But it was you, wasn’t it? Whispering the wrong fucking details in my ear. Did you make a mistake or were you trying to get rid of me when you realised I was a commitment?”
James looks away. “I think—” his words come out slow and dangerously low “—that you should leave. Before I do something the both of us regret.”
Or; a missing pwp scene from my fic Half-Hearted Circles

Summary
Then a man walks past him, he looks at him, and a swooping sensation in his gut says yes. It isn’t the vampire part of him. He’s just… really pretty. Really Martin’s type. Short and small, neat and well put together, tired and professional, with perfect posture and a quick, impatient stride. He looks like he works in an office. He looks about a decade older than Martin. He looks important, and dignified, and hot. In that very particular way that Martin’s always been into.
Not that… not that attractiveness should have anything to do with picking a meal. Oh, it sounds bad to call people meals. Victims? Even worse.
Martin should in fact not pick this man, specifically because of how attracted he is to him. It would be the responsible thing to do.
Except he’s already following him. And he’s hungry.

“Qi-ge,” he says, and Yue Qi’s face lights up with such a warm, fragile expression at the address.
“Xiao-Jiu--” Yue Qi says tenderly - and then Shen Jiu cuts him off with a slap up to the side of his head that knocks that pretty little jade flower in his hair askew.
“You idiot! A brothel, of all things! I thought you’d become a trafficker or a beggar, but a prostitute?”

Shen Jiu and Yue Qi finally meet again - but it isn't at the conference.

Summary
“It’s a cipher,” Neal explained, flipping the pad of paper to a new page and clicking his pen. He wrote out the message quickly, and then a new set of letters underneath. “Translated into Gaelic, scrambled, and then shifted by three.”
“Gaelic,” Peter echoed incredulously.
Neal shrugged. “The Duolingo course interested me.”

“Sorry, Jaylad,” Bruce said, sounding not sorry at all, the bastard, “but I am vengeance.”
Jason twisted his neck just so Bruce could get the full force of his incredulous stare. “Are you fucking kidding me.”
Bruce grinned. “Afraid not.”
Jason didn’t have time to do anything other than yell one final “Fuck!” before he was flung bodily into the pool.

Summary
Roy Harper is alive.
He’s there, just feet away, fast asleep on Jason's couch, with Lian curled up into his side. It's almost the same position as when she’d jumped into his arms at the ballet studio. She hasn’t let go of him since, even as they’d both eventually fallen asleep on the couch in June Ellington’s generously rented apartment.
Jason hasn’t let him out of his sight. He doesn't move until Roy cracks open his eyes. He blinks slowly, scanning the room, then looking down at his daughter’s still sleeping form nestled into his side. Finally, he smiles.
“Morning, Jaybird.”
Jason could cry.

Roy is back. Jason is still undercover, but he's not letting Roy out of his sight.

Summary
Penelope watches.
She aches for the moments, she dreads not waking up to her husband’s loving eyes, and she mourns the seconds, minutes, hours, and years she couldn’t see him. So, she watches. Sleep is less precious than being able to see him, watch the slow rise and fall of his chest, and tell the exact moment when ghosts of his travels creep into his subconscious, disrupting his rest.
OR: How the greatest of love measures up to life's most merciless and devastating force - Time. Time spent apart, time spent in suffering, how they each cope with everything they've lost, and how they hold each other through it.
