Summary
“The universe didn’t tell me to love you,” Steve says finally, passing a hand over the scars on his torso, as he often does. “It told me to save you. They’re– they’re two different things.”
— a coda to the lathe

Summary
Eddie doesn’t like showing it when he’s scared. Wayne always knows, though. He knew every time Eddie appeared on his doorstep with no warning, small and trembling with a dirty, oversized backpack packed with snacks and worn stuffed animals. He knew when Eddie was taller, a little bit too skinny and too tough for his age, when his dad finally ended up in prison and the government finally let Wayne's kid be his kid. He knew when Eddie was in middle school, friendless and angry and paranoid, when Wayne stumbled upon a stash of porno mags while he was looking for drugs.
So he knows now.

Summary
"Okay," Eddie says at last, voice betraying his cool demeanor. "I'll go first." He clears his throat, folds his hands politely in his lap. "I have never been more confused in my life than when I'm with you. And I've taken trig three times and I'm still not a hundred percent on what a hypotenuse is, so, like, it's not difficult to confuse me or anything. But you really take the cake, man."
Steve chews on his lip. "Sorry? I'm... confused too."

Summary
“D’you remember what you said that one time. About me visiting Eddie a lot. Like, weirdly a lot.”
It’s hard to forget that day, but Lucas still isn’t sure why Steve looks so distressed. “Sure?”
“I,” Steve stops. He seems to recalibrate, remember where he is, who he’s with, why he’s sitting there in the first place.
“Listen, I don’t… just forget I asked that, actually. Don’t worry about it, Sinclair.”
or, Lucas and Steve help eachother out in the aftermath.

Summary
Three days after Vecna, Robin tries to kiss Steve. Tries to be something he deserves. Someone who can fuck him, be with him. Something better, a good person like she isn't. She tries to not be fucked up. Steve doesn't let her.
If only for a moment they are wild and cold, faces up to the unreflective sky, just a boy and a girl holding hands watching the stars as the wind tugs and pulls them, kindly cruel in a way that mends.
Maybe they don’t need anyone else, she thinks, maybe they can stay there until the wind strips them to their bones. She wouldn’t mind dying if it was with Steve.
He turns to her and she thinks he might kiss her but then he’s just holding her against his chest and it feels like such an impossibly mean thought to have about Steve, to even think that he might do that to her, that she starts crying. Sometimes she thinks she doesn’t deserve him and he doesn’t deserve how she thinks about him. He’s just so much good sometimes Robin thinks something must turn for the worst, surely King Steve isn’t all gone, surely at some point he’s going to reveal himself: he was making fun of her the whole time, trying to make her normal.

Summary
Erica wants to tell them about the sick move she pulled last night—leaping out of the shadows to stab her poison-tipped kukri through the eye of a giant rat that Max’s character had pinned against the wall. She’d used her Cunning Action on the previous turn to hide, and so she dealt sneak attack damage, killing the monster with one well-placed stab. Eddie let her preserve its tail in the Party’s Bag of Holding, to be brought back to the city and turned in for a bounty.
But that’s not exactly lunch table conversation.
(or: Erica strives for normalcy, after the not-end of the world. Lady Applejack wins the day.)

Summary
There’s something about watching Steve and Eddie that makes his chest ache, just a little bit. Something that feels like it’s just out of reach, like if he could just jump an inch higher he could grasp it and know what it is, have a name for it, figure out what feels like it’s missing with Max. He never felt like something was missing with Max before. She was perfect. She is perfect! Like, sure, not actually perfect, because nobody’s actually perfect, but she’s perfect for him just like he hopes he’s perfect for her, and they’re perfect together.
Maybe Lucas is overcompensating.

"If there's anything I can help you with, or if you'd like to order flowers for an upcoming occasion--"
"All right, honestly?" Handsomely disgruntled customer looked Silver dead in the eye and said, "I'm looking for a gift that says, 'You are making a dreadful mistake. Call me when you've figured out what a fucking hash of things you've made.'" He spoke the way some people chewed tinfoil.
Silver felt two things: lust like a plague of locusts, and the words 'uh-oh' waft through his brain.

Summary
Clint might not have the most romantic soulmark, but no matter how discouraging his soulmate's first words to him might be, he knows he's going to win them round.
Of course, nothing ever turns out the way you think it's going to. And when Bucky Barnes, of all people, does finally say the words Clint's been waiting for, it's more complicated than he could ever have imagined - not least because Bucky's soulmate is very definitely dead.
It's not until one of Tony's experiments with some recovered AIM technology takes an unexpected turn that everything starts to make sense. But if Clint was hoping for an easy solution to his problems, he's going to be disappointed.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.
