    Summary

    The room is too bright.

    It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.

    It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.

    With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.

    Summary

    Buck had lost-- he was sure of this now. His resolve only lasted a few weeks before his exterior began to crack; he was never a very good actor. He couldn’t keep up the greetings and the asking questions and the easy stroll. He let his shoulders creep up to his ears, let his foot tap incessantly. He did what his Captain told him, but stopped asking for anything more. Stopped following the conversation in the back of the engine on the way to the call; he just stared out the window, thinking about the case to come, preparing for it. When he woke every morning, there was no big recovery milestone to strive for, no big fight for the soul of his career to win. Not even the happy swell of being back on shift -- something so easy to dismiss, that had dominated so much of his life, that he had taken for granted-- that had catalyzed him each morning of his first week back.
    An old habit of his had returned. A bad habit.

    ~~

    or: after the lawsuit, buck confronts what it was he wanted all along. he looks and looks and longs for it; the team looks right through him. buck breaks-- right down the middle.

    Summary

    "E– Evan, what are you doing here?"

     

    Oh.

     

    He realizes, then, that no one is coming. Not for him, at least. No one even noticed he disappeared.

     

    Or

    Buck is kidnapped by a serial killer. Only when Maddie is taken too, do his friends notice his absence. A race against time begins, and the killer has a headstart. But even if they are found in time, some wounds may take longer to heal than others.

    Summary

    “W-What do you- I mean can I- are you here to rob us?” The person managed to stammer out.

    Siren snorted. “No. I’m just here to order some food.”

    “Wh-What about him?” The cashier asked, glancing at Tommy. “Did you- did you kidnap him?”

    “I mean… yeah, let’s go with that in case this ends up on the news,” Siren shrugged, looking back at Tommy. “I kidnapped you, right?”

    “Yeah, sure,” Tommy agreed, knowing that if they said he was kidnapped, it would keep people from getting suspicious of why he was seen in public with Siren. “Anyway, can I get the chicken nuggets happy meal, with a coke?”

    or, how Tommy—who is not a hero, or a villain, or even a vigilante—saves the life of one of L'Manberg's most feared supervillains, and accidentally ends up becoming the resident doctor for every supervillain in town (and maybe gets a family along the way too).

    However, Tango didn't expect for the man behind the counter to be so pretty, and it makes him think that maybe the bakery is just as charming and innocent as it looks. (He is wrong)

    Aka. Tango is trying to get information for his hero agency but is a little too gay about it, and accidentally gets wrapped up with villains and vigilantes. Nothing is as it seems, and Tango has to figure out where his loyalties lay.
