Summary
Oh, the darkness got a hold on me...
~*~
“Are you still in that void? Can you see everything?”
“Void? I’m…” Thiago looks around, to be sure. “No, I-I’m not. We’re…in a hospital? What…”
That is when Liz says the words that Thiago spent an eternity thinking he would never get to hear.
“Santo Berço is gone. It burned down. The parasite god is dead, and none of us can turn into Luzidios anymore. We’re in the hospital of Carpazinha. The rest of the team made it out, too—everyone, the five of us. We’re still here.”
~*~
Or, Thiago survives the explosion in the Cave, despite all the odds.
After decades of torment and being scarred in more ways than one, Thiago wants to put Santo Berço and the Symbol behind him—for the sake of his friends, and for the sake of himself. However, nightmares, shaking hands, and an invasive sense of wrongness make this much more difficult than he anticipates.
(Chin up, Thiago. Your story isn’t over yet.)

Summary
Her own blood is oozing through her fingers. It’s spilling fast, sand through an hourglass. Liz knows the physical side effects of blood loss; she has seen countless corpses bled dry in her time, too. Dizziness to shock to unconsciousness to death. She is all too aware that she is short on time.
“I don’t know what to do,” Joui blurts. She can feel him shaking, see his chest heave as hard as her own. His voice is frantic, tight. “You’re—There’s too much bleeding— I swore I wouldn’t let this happen again—”
“I’m not going to die, Joui,” Liz cuts him off.
Because it’s true. Liz can’t die. She has to take care of the others so they aren’t killed by this wretched work too, and she can’t do that if she’s dead herself.
So Liz won’t die. She can make sure of that.
First step: stop the bleeding.
~*~
Or, after chasing down and killing the "creature" that was attacking the Farmer's cows, Liz and the rest of the team are attacked in turn. This time, things take an unexpected turn.

Summary
Tim curled up in a ball and shook with several, near-hyperventilating breaths. Jason clenched his hands into fists.
“Hood?” came Nightwing’s tentative check-in, “How’s everything going?”
I’m trapped under a building, he didn’t say. Tim thinks I’m going to murder him, he didn’t say. Get me out of here before I claw my own skin off, he didn’t say.

Summary
Graveyard mud, heavy and dark, clinging to a stained and torn suit. One shoe missing, a leg bent awkwardly and blood staining a bare foot.
Milk white skin beneath the mud, black hair hanging in muddy clumps around his ears. Blue eyes staring back at him, animal-bright and dilated in the brief moment before he flinches back from the light with a cry of pain that stabs through Jason to the soul.
His shaking hand closes around the flashlight before he can even think about it, cutting off the piercing beam and letting it spill out in shards between his fingers. For a petrifying moment as his eyes readjust, he’s sure that when he looks again, there will be nothing there.
“Tim?” he whispers.
The lean and ragged figure, tiny, god he’s so small, lowers his hands away from his face, away from his eyes wide and glittering almost silver in the moonlight.
Hands, mud-covered and torn. The red of his shredded fingernails is sickeningly dark in the broken light.
He’s vomiting before he even feels the bile making its way up his throat.

Summary
He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.
He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.
She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”
And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.

Summary
Still, it has been a long, tiring day. It ended with their team fighting off a horde of creatures and running all the way across Santo Berço to get to the hotel. Everything the Hotelier said has made Liz uneasy, but really, all she wants now is to get some sleep.
Except someone won’t stop tossing around.
Liz drops her arm over her eyes and groans. “Thiago, for the love of God, would you please stop moving? You make the mattress jump every time you flip over.”
~*~
Or, Liz and Thiago share a room.

Bookmarker's Notes
“And why do you have your shotgun out?” Thiago questions.
“I’m just holding it.”
“Do you have to hug it like that though?”
Joui hugs it a little closer. “It’s not doing any harm.”

Being a team does not end just because the mission is over. Sometimes that takes a little bit of realising, though.
Alternatively - 5 times a Vulture involved Rubens in a hug, one time the whole team did, and one time he got one from his favourite person.

Summary
It’s when she’s checking her GPS again—five minutes, just five minutes, almost there—that she sees Thiago move, out of the corner of her eye. All at once he slumps, chin hitting his chest, hand falling slack from his arm and dropping the gauze and letting the blood-soaked bandages tumble down his arm, dark in the flash of another stray street lamp.
The moment she sees his limp hand, the fresh blood-
Dying again he's dying again he's dying again he's dying-
Liz gasps and her hand flies from the steering wheel to his arm and slams the gauze back on. “Thiago—”
Thiago yelps, jolting and eyes flying open. “The fuck?!”
“Liz-senpai?” Joui pipes up.
“Your arm,” Liz says. Her hand doesn’t move from where it’s barely holding the gauze in place. Her bad shoulder is loudly protesting the angle she’s holding her arm at. She doesn’t move her hand. “You have to keep pressure on it, the wound could still be bleeding."
~*~
Or, just weeks after the Nostradamus case, Liz, Thiago, and a newly-recruited Joui find themselves on their way back from a one-day mission to take care of a local paranormal threat. Liz has a lot on her mind. And so it seems does Thiago. And so it seems does Joui.

Summary
White. The symbol. Around and around it goes, and so he goes too, around and around— Where is he, what was he doing, what’s his name— Blank, all blank— He should remember—
“Liz,” he says. His heart pounds in his chest. He doesn’t want to get lost again. “Liz.”
She leans back over and puts her hand on his—his shoulder. Her grip is firm but not harsh, as is the look she captures his gaze with, holding him steady on both fronts.
Liz lifts her free hand. “I’m right here,” she signs, lips moving to form the words along with it.
“The— I saw the symbol—”
Liz shakes her head. She takes her hand away from his shoulder to continue: “The symbol is gone. Santo Berço burned. You destroyed it, remember?”
~*~
Or, sometimes, Thiago needs a little reminding.

Summary
“Woah, hey—Thiago?”
Another breath. Balance. He needs balance. Where is the Symbol? What is this? The void is receding (come back, come back, please!) and there are shapes in front of his eyes now, but—lines don’t bend that way. Do they? Another breath. He feels bad. Where is the Symbol? This should make sense. He should remember—but what is there to remember? Because nothing else matters, not really, not—
“Thiago, look at me.”
Warmth on his cheek, a push, and his head is being turned.
“Hey.”
He… He doesn’t know what he’s looking at.
~*~
Or, in which Thiago survives Santo Berço, but he does not escape the Symbol. Many months later, as the Symbol is pulling apart what remains of his mind, Thiago follows Liz to the New Dawn Apartments in the hopes of saving her from herself.
(Part of a larger AU called 90 Seconds To Midnight! Can be read as a stand alone, but of course I recommend checking out the master post.)

Summary
Making friends with someone unfortunately requires a combination of time, mutual effort, and the ability to even comprehend where their level is.
(Alternatively - 3 weeks into working together, Johnny and Rubens have yet to work out how to make their situation viable. The fact that Johnny is recovering from an injury isn't helping things, either.)

Summary
“Okay.” Joui pauses, then a grin crawls onto his face. “Never have I ever… made out with—”
Something does an odd flip in Cesar’s chest. Arthur grabs his glass and is already taking a hefty swig before Joui’s even finished talking.
“—made out with—a guy and a girl, at the same party,” Joui finishes, looking very pleased with himself.
After a long day of investigations, the team plays a drunken game of Never Have I Ever at the Ashy Armpit. It leads to some unexpected revelations.
