    Summary

    “The pressure, the fingers curled around his shoulder, are warm and grounding. They make it easier to heave a deep breath and start to dispel the crushing ache in his chest.

    ‘You’re gonna be alright. Raph’s got you.’

    Leo doesn’t think he’s ever heard anything more reassuring than that.”

    Or

    Leo has a tough time after a nightmare, but Raph will always be there for him.

    Summary

    “These are your apology flowers?”

    “Yes,” he whispered.

    “They’re very pretty,” she said quietly, staring down at them, “But they’re not good for apologies.”

    “Oh, yeah?” he breathed.

    “They mean ‘danger’,” she said, raising a brow at him.

    Marinette had always been so patient with Adrien when it came to matters of his father. She understood that he struggled to say 'no', that he was trying his best. She always made it clear that she loved him anyway.

    But even she had her limits. Her trust in him was wearing thin.

    Good, he couldn't help but think, standing at her front door with his father whispering into his earpiece. She shouldn't trust me.

    Summary

    “Give it back,” he snarls.

    “Make me.” Sonic laughs, ducking out of his reach again and into the kitchen.

    Shadow follows him around the island, trying to corner him, but he flashes just out of reach every time. Somehow, Sonic manages to trip on the floor between the kitchen and the living room, and Shadow lunges for him. They tumble into the room together. He fights to make sure he comes out on top.

    He rips his ring from Sonic’s grip, shoving him into the floor. “You can’t do that!” he snarls, leaning down low. “Don’t you know what you could have done?”

    He doesn’t realize Sonic is already wincing until sharp, red sparks travel down his arm, crackling into the blue hedgehog’s body. Sonic yelps.

    “Hey!” he hears. Shadow snaps his head up. Every Wachowski is looking at him. Tails’ eyes are wide, Tom and Maddie look completely caught off-guard. Knuckles, the one who’d spoken, looks angry, jerking forward.

    Shadow lets go immediately, metal landing on the carpet with a dull thud. He stumbles back, losing his balance.

    When he hits the ground, there’s dirt underneath him. He picks himself up and he runs.

    Tails brings him back.

    Summary

    Bee is very good at being a civilian.
    He's very, very good at it until he's not.
    And everyone kind of sort of notices.

     

    (Some of you didn't grow up in the middle of a war and then on Earth and it shows)

    Summary

    No one is immune to getting sick. Not Shana O'Hara, try as she might, and not even Snake Eyes for all his skills as a ninja. Fortunately, when sickness strikes, they have each other.

    Set pre-show and during Renegades.
