Well, we won't get lost inside it all again by SylphOfPaperPlanes

Summary
Nancy hasn’t turned off the lamp on her night table in a month and a half.
Rationally, she knows it’s a waste of power, leaving it on day and night, but then the irrational part of her—the part that thinks there’s still monsters in the closet (and the walls and the floorboards and the shower)—presses her fingers to the ever-increasing heat of the bulb and feels safer.
She wakes to a single light above her, unblinking and warm.
(The covers beside her are cold as a dead wasteland and twice as empty, but she tries not to think about that.)
Or, a character study of three teens who find support in each other.

Summary
Mollymauk has been told he’s been empty like this before. He’s been told he’s been gutted against his will. These people talk about how he’s been shaped like raw earth and flattened under his own palms. But now he’s back. He’s back and he’s hollow.
Molly doesn’t know why he’d ever want to come back, if coming back feels like this.
———
(Or: Caleb and Mollymauk have died and come back before. Essek hasn’t, but he’s been around enough rebirth to know that you can’t do it alone.)

Graduating high school is hard. Graduating out into the world of heroes is harder.

But if I Start to Levitate (Pull Me Down with All Your Weight) by SylphOfPaperPlanes
Fandoms: Pacific Rim (Movies)

Summary
Hermann wants to say something, anything, when Newton’s eyes snap open, pupils dilating the second they land on him with a stark look of confusion-fear-recognition-dear-god-help-me that hits with the lucidity. He sits up as far as the restraints around his arms and chest will let him, hands shaking. Hermann can feel the disorientation radiating off him, pain and guilt and words he hasn’t said, words that need to be spoken—
“How adorable,” a voice other than Newt’s says from his mouth, dripping in smug malice. His head tilts imperceptibly, “He cares.”
---
An exploration into the messy, unpredictable relationship between Newt and Hermann in the wake of the events of Uprising, and everything that entails.
(Because, of course, you can't simply cancel the apocalypse a second time around and not expect consequences.)

Way up high (where no one can look down on you) by SylphOfPaperPlanes for spock

Summary
“Then we just can’t get caught.” There it is again, that thousand watt smile focused right on Spencer, making him feel like the sun’s trained on him. From where he’s still gripping Warren’s sleeve, a thumb rubs over the inside of his wrist. There’s a weird amount of promise in that moment, something hiding behind the twinkle in Warren’s eyes. There’s a half second where he’s floating, can’t even feel the pavement under his knees, the rubber of the wheel pressed into his spine, just a strange, soft roar like a solar flare in the back of his mind.
Against his better judgement, he barks off a laugh, leans into Warren’s shoulder to muffle the noise. “Just can’t get caught. Right.” That’s all it boils down to, do what they want, say what they want, break out of the rut, break the rules, just don’t get caught.
So they don’t.

Summary
ROLLINS STONE MAGAZINE
In this issue
Six of Crows: From break-ins to breakout stars, the band talks overnight success, music and madness, and everything in between.
Eddie Spaghetti once said, "Rock and roll keeps you in a constant state of juvenile delinquency."That would explain a lot, as the dynamic within the band can only be described as a decidedly more aggressive version of The Breakfast Club. Namely: a lot of banter—most of which involves a lot of stinging and acerbic one-liners that are just waiting to be immortalized by the internet, enough hijinks to send any authority figure running, and a whole lot of waffles.
(or, the band au no one asked for but which I wrote anyway)
