Summary
(1:14 pm) So you never told me how you planned to make Gabriel Agreste cry.
(1:20 pm) Oh my god, how drunk was I last night?!
(1:22 pm) They live.
(1:23 pm) Barely.
(1:24 pm) How do I know you again?
(1:24 pm) I don’t think you do? I’m Wrong Number. You were texting me your New Year’s Resolution earlier.
(1:25 pm) …I’m too hungover to deal with this right now.
(1:26 pm) Well who’s fault is that?
(1:40 pm) …Hello?
(2:01 pm) Well this was fun.(Marinette sends a text to the wrong number, and things progress from there until it becomes the right one.)

Summary
Finally Hunter spots him leaning against the doorway and excuses himself. His friends take note of him leaving and all give Darius looks ranging from confused, to awe, to wary. Hunter himself seems to have mixed feelings. Darius can’t blame him— he hasn’t seen Darius since he defected, of course he’s nervous.
Though, it’s hard to focus on anything else than that atrocious outfit he’s got on.
(Or the offscreen reunion of Hunter and Darius is real now because I wrote it. Hunter confides in Darius, Darius gives Hunter a makeover, and the future is bright.)

Summary
Hunter doesn't have any claim over the name Deamonne. It's not like he doesn't know that. If anything he would be a Wittebane, no matter how much the thought makes his skin crawl. More realistically, he's just Hunter, and no one in their right mind would claim him as one of their own, as family. Darius was kind to him, but the man had always been very particular about what was his; he wouldn't want a broken boy.
He knows all of this. And yet, 'Hunter Deamonne' is still what comes out of his mouth when asked about his name.
Or: Five times someone wondered about Hunter's new last name and one time they all knew.

Summary
It requires a level of natural skill you simply don't possess.
"But I'm not natural, am I?" he whispers to Flapjack, who's perched on his chest. Hunter smooths back his feathers, thinking aloud. "I wasn't born, I was built. So, theoretically, if I could modify the way I was built... Couldn't I give myself those skills?"
Silently, Flapjack tilts his head.
"I'd have to look at... His notes." Hunter bites his lip, considering. "Which. They might not let me do if I ask."

Figuring out how to fit into a world that values magic above all else (and make your new sort-of father proud) isn't easy when you're not even half-a-witch. But Hunter is used to proving himself.

Summary
Belos is dead. The Collector is defeated. The portal door is working again and everyone now just has to move on with their lives and rebuild normality as best they can. This is easier for some than for others.
When Willow invites Hunter to Grom, he assumes it is so that he, as a non-student of Hexside, can still be there to help Skara in her duties as Grom Queen. Emerald Entrails stick together, after all. Clearly there could be no other reason for Willow to invite him. This is all set to be a simple, friendly combined dance and fight with a demonic entity that reads minds and conjures your worst fears into reality. No biggie.
Except with Boscha and her crew of bullies around and feeling braver than ever, this Grom might not be as simple as they all hoped. Especially when Hunter discovers that being the reincarnated container of hundreds of years of Golden Guards' fears is a bad thing to be around a fear demon.

Summary
“I think I’ve fucked up,” Stede confesses.
“Yeah,” Lucius tells him, “but don’t take it too hard. I might’ve fucked up, too, if somebody dragged me out of bed to tell me I’d ruined their family, and my own, and destroyed the love of my life’s entire legacy, and then, like— blew their own whole fucking head off. Like, that— I get that, Cap’n. That makes sense.”
Stede nods, keeping his eyes forward. After a beat, he can’t maintain the calm, and he needs the human connection, turning back to look at Lucius. He actually spills over, then, eyes burning.
“Oh, you don’t have to do that,” Lucius comments, but Stede is already carefully standing up so he can bend and hug Lucius without capsizing their vessel.
or: stede saves his crew, draws a duel, and reunites with the love of his life, though he's certain he's going to die every step of the way.- Language:

Summary
At this stage of his life, it’s important for him to realize nothing exciting will ever happen to him. That he is too old for spontaneity, but too young still to die. He reads a book about pirates. His namesake occasionally appears. Stede feels a kinship with him that goes beyond the name and the page, grips him like a vise and won’t let go.
or: Ed and Stede choose each other in this life. And the next. And the next. And the next.

Summary
Maybe Hunter wouldn’t have liked any of them. Maybe none of them would’ve liked him. Maybe it was a good thing they never met in person, because he knows all too well how disappointingly horrific family can be. Maybe all of these things were true, or maybe they weren't.
They still deserved better than this. They deserved to be remembered, in some sense of the word. And if the last person who'd know they existed was a kid who had no right to be living in their place, then so be it.
This was the least he could do. Really, it was the only thing he could do.

Summary
When Sam came home, there was a feather in Pippin’s cap, a horn on Merry’s hip. All Sam had was a box of dirt with one large, smooth seed tucked inside. Even in Mordor, Sam had only been fighting for the Shire. He spent the rest of his life helping things grow.
Let’s talk about Sam crying over rabbit stew, because a brace of coneys had been a spot of luck, once; because even then, even when he still had his pots and his pans, when Frodo had not yet snarled at him and told him to go– Mr. Frodo had still been gone too far by then to ever come back again.
Rosie, who did not cry easy, chopped onions so he would not be the only one with wet cheeks to scrub off. She asked him about herbs and spices, about stirring and cooking times, about what loaf would go best with it all. Sam said, “Rosemary, tarragon.” Part of him still rang against the greening metal of a copper pot dropped down a chasm and left somewhere on the edges of Mordor, but she saw him breathe deep and reach for thyme.

Summary
Legolas blinks up into the sunlight. "It has been some time since we were strangers," he says, as thought he is only just realising this. "Just this morning you called me your friend."
"I did, and I will not recant it unless given a good reason."
"Good," Legolas says, with a startling fierceness. "Good. And— you are my friend, too."
"Poor fool of an Elf, you've gone and done it," Gimli says, and it's light-hearted but he means it. "No getting rid of me now."
