Summary
Light is seated beside him in the helicopter.
His gaze is fixed on the black notebook in his hands. His grip is tight—too tight.
The notebook taken from Higuchi.
L reaches before the thought finishes forming. His hand snaps out and wrenches the notebook from Light’s grasp.
Light collapses. Not violently. Not suddenly. His body simply gives way, as though something essential has been pulled out of him.

Summary
“The bell,” L answered, cryptic as ever, as his dark gaze flitted back to the sky. “I can hear the bell.”
Light didn’t answer immediately, listening intently for whatever ringing L seemed to be hearing that was alluding him. He waited, listened, but there wasn’t a single sound.
“I don’t hear anything,” Light said. His hold on L’s wrist had begun to slip as the constant bombardment of water loosened his fingers, but he refused to let go.
“Really?” L turned to him, shifting on the precarious edge until his heels weren’t quite entirely on the roof anymore. Light swallowed around the tightness in his throat. “It’s been ringing all day. I find it…very distracting.”
OR...
After the capture of Higuchi and the return of Light's memories, he's confident that there's nothing left between him and a perfect checkmate win. But when the rain picks up, and Light finds himself wandering to the roof, he quickly realizes that L will never let it be that simple.
OR...

Summary
“Would you like us to dispose of the body, my lord?”
Vampire Ascendent Lord Astarion was unmoved, physically and emotionally, as he stared at Tav’s charred and lifeless body on the floor of their bedroom.
His ears rang with the combinations of the fading gala downstairs, the beating hearts of the guests that kept their lives, and something altogether unfamiliar that seemed to drown his senses in white noise as his eyes were locked on the bed sheets tied around Tav’s ankles.
“My lord?”
“What?” Astarion snapped at one of his attending spawn that stood next to Tav.
No, he thought to himself. Not Tav. Tav’s body.

Summary
There is a man in her house who isn’t her husband.
He wears Pierre’s face, smiles at her in the way that Pierre used to. He holds their child with all of the love that a father could ever give.
But he isn’t the man who brought her honeypetals. He isn’t the man who blushed and stammered through the request to kiss her, that first time.

sweet music playing in the dark by burningshanvas (spacebarista)

Summary
He’s beautiful, Lune isn’t proud enough to deny it. But she finds him most beautiful in his determination. His concentration. His discipline. His passion. In music and in battle. And, as it turns out, in bed.
She’s a researcher, studious and observant. Of course she’d be more drawn to similar temperaments. She loses herself in her work, he loses himself in his music.
And with his encouragement for her to do the same, to be selfish and passionate and herself… that’s why she lies here now, tucked under his shirt, naked on his coat, listening to him play with no one to witness it but the stars. He’d helped her find closure for her parents. Comforted her through her disappointment in the truth. Encouraged her to be the voice in her own head so she could move on.
------------------
Lune decides to be selfish with her time, with Verso's help.

Summary
Verso saw Maelle's fate in his mother's heartbreaking descent into all-consuming obsession. He didn't want this for her. His decision was clear. The canvas had to be erased. And he got his say. It was being erased before his very eyes. But... why wasn't he? Why was he... being pulled out into reality?
[ In an anguished whisper, he exhaled, “I’m tired… I’m so tired… I can finally rest now. I know this is hurting you. But can you be happy for me? Just a little? In your own big world… in your little room… would you think of me and spare a smile for me? Would you remember me as I am, not as you wished me to be?”
Heaving one last sigh, Verso closed his eyes. He was finally at peace. He could feel the beginning of his own disintegration.
But then…
In a last ditch effort, Maelle threw her arms around his neck and clung. Hard. He could feel her nails digging into his skin.
“I’m not letting you go,” she promised, half devoted, half feral. ]

Summary
“Oh, very charming.” The woman laughs, brushing her hands off on her apron and turning back to the cart. “I hope that wasn’t meant to impress me.”
Verso ignores her question in favour of enjoying the colour in her cheeks. “You didn’t answer my question.”
She sets her crate down and turns right back for another. “I know.”

Summary
"Are the voices inside your head still yours, Lune?"
She cut him a withering glare, dozens of truths and memorized speeches caught in her throat. He met her gaze dead on, irises near colorless where they once held a hint of blue. He didn't look away, and neither could she.
"Are yours?"
---
Nearly three years after saving the Canvas, Lune is restless. She's uncovered every mystery, solved every problem, and reached the limit of what the world can give her. Never before has she felt the world so small. The only remaining questions all circle back to the man she refuses to see, and who has isolated himself from everyone else. But when a dangerous new Nevron threatens the city and Maelle disappears, Lune has no choice but to go to him for answers.
Verso wants nothing more than to die. He'll settle for destroying any sliver of love between himself and those he called friend. But when Lune brings word of Maelle's disappearance and a Nevron he's never heard of, even he can't ignore the opportunity.
Once bound by respect and something deeper, Lune and Verso have nothing but distrust and loathing between them. They'll need more than that to save Maelle from the Nevron--and herself.

Rivera Tabris didn't ask for any of this, but she'd sooner take her own dagger to the gut than relinquish the control she had been bestowed— even if it means she has to take on conflicts she never could have dreamed of, armed with nothing but her daggers, furious grief, and a band of companions who have apparently decided she is worthy enough to follow after.
A collection of moments chronologically spanning the canon for Rivera Tabris, Duelist Rogue, in Dragon Age: Origins.

That terrifies him.

Or
Clive has a hard time believing he can keep control of Ifrit. He goes to Cid for help.

Step Softly Across the Corners of My Mind (Blighted Treviso AU) by SunshineOnACloudyDay

Summary
“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.”-- “Wild Geese” by Mary Oliver
Alternate Title: Rook goes through the Mind!Ossuary on Nightmare Difficulty
This is basically an AU of my longfic "Hold Me Like Water, Or Hold Me Like A Knife" where instead of choosing Treviso, Rook chooses her home instead. Lucanis cuts off their relationship, and they both move on, but Complicated Feelings aren't easy to run from, and Rook, Neve, and Lucanis have bucketloads of those. To be completely honest, I wrote this solely for the angst.

Summary
The longer he stands there the more his eyes adjust to the brightness, bringing the rest of the world into focus. He stands atop a rocky cliff face overlooking some wide body of water - river or ocean he can’t quite tell. Has water always been that blue? Have trees always been that green? For several long minutes he just stares at the sunlit world, taking in colors he forgot existed and letting the warmth seep into his bones.
Voices coming from down the path jar Astarion back to the present. To the unpleasant reality of his situation. Sudden ability to walk in the sun notwithstanding, everything else is shit. A quick inventory of his person reveals no serious injuries from the crash - lucky - but also that he is bereft of everything save the clothes on his back. And the little knife at his belt. M’keon’s gift.
Shit, M’keon.
Scenes from an alternate ending of The Green Man and the Vampire that follows the game plot.
