    Summary

    Munson just narrows his eyes at Hopper, keeps them bouncing between Hopper’s eyes, like he’s searching him out.

    Hopper entertains it for a couple of seconds before he finally sighs and asks, “Got any pre-rolled?”

    And Munson — he blinks, taken aback by the question. But just as quickly, that stony mask rolls back into place. This time, though, that lingering fear is gone, no sign of that scared little boy.

    Munson steps away from the tree trunk and folds his arms over his chest, tucking his hands into his armpits. He chews on the inside of his cheek as he assesses Hopper further. He must see something in Hopper, something that tells him that he isn’t really a threat. That’s the only explanation Hopper has for the brassy confidence that’s suddenly oozing out of Munson.

    “You know,” Munson starts, voice cocksure and smooth, “entrapment isn’t legal, old man.”

    Hopper can’t help himself as he snorts. Jesus christ, this kid. “That’s why I ain’t doin’ it, kid.”

     

    Or, the completely true story of the first time Jim Hopper busted Eddie Munson for dealing.

    Summary

    Asuma is dead. Shikamaru feels it in every inch of his body. The world seems to have shattered around him, each day heavier than the last. Grief pins him down, isolates him, makes everything dull and distant.

    But Neji is there. Quietly, steadily — brushing his hair, making him eat, helping him stand again. Shikamaru isn’t sure when survival became something like closeness, but with Neji beside him, the days begin to feel less unbearable.
