Summary
Canute does whatever he can to keep Thorfinn, though it might cost him everything.
“You want to kill me now.”
The words steal his breath with their truth. Thorfinn looks at him, from under his filthy bangs, eyes piercing and bruised. Something in Canute’s chest flips over at that look, at how wounded he is. He’s broken. He’s been broken from the first moment they met, but now he’s lost even Askeladd to hold his pieces together.
“But if you fight me like this, it’s not fair. You have to wait until I get stronger. Be my guard until then, and I’ll duel you, warrior to warrior.”
Thorfinn’s gaze is unflinching. Canute reaches behind him and pulls the dagger from the folds of his fur-lined cloak. The blade is a part of Thorfinn, like the crown is a part of Canute, now. He hands it over, hilt first.
“Or, you can kill me today. Right now, right here.”

Summary
The S.S. Piffling was anchored off the coast of Brighton when they spotted him: a lone man bobbing in a garishly painted kayak that was clearly not meant for open water. He was holding an axe instead of a paddle and was bleeding rather profusely from a head wound.
“Oh, hi!” The man said, waving at them with the axe. “I think I might be dead?”
Or: Timothy Stoker confronts his future. Eric Chapman confronts his past. Everyone else is just trying to get by between potential apocalypses.

Summary
Laurent may have figured out he was in love a little earlier, but the process wasn’t easy. It went a little something like this.
(Or: a character study through cases, only it's never really about the cases at all. )
This is a companion piece to Like the Waters I Cannot Drink through the eyes of Laurent, unpacking some moments leading up to the events in that story that went over Makoto’s head. Please read that one first, it sets up the cases revisited here! This is a slightly darker/more intense take on the mutual pining— putting the burn in slow burn— and not as much of a romcom as the first story, but thanks to that one you already know they figure it out in the end.

Summary
"You didn't tell me that he'd be here." Tommy seethes, taking a step back.
Phil frowns. "He's your brother, Tommy–"
"I don't care!" Tommy bursts out. His eyes are alight with a rage-fuelled fire. He turns his magma-hot glare onto Techno, and Wilbur feels something in him break. "He stopped being my brother a while ago."
Wilbur watches the remnants of his family come together and fall apart.

some togetherness this is by Anonymous
Fandoms: Video Blogging RPF, Minecraft (Video Game)
20 Jan 2021

Summary
There is no togetherness.
There are only sad old men who die sad, sudden deaths. There are only liars. There are only murderers. There are only power-hungry children with no one on their sides. There are only people with something to prove. There are only people desperately trying to protect what's theirs. There are only traitors. There are only children raised wrong. There are only men who have really, truly lost it.
And, of course, there are the men who orchestrate it.
Fortunately, though, in spite of everything, there are fathers with nothing else to lose. Who have only seen the crisis in letters. Who have, wise beyond their years, realized they had to bring their sons home.
And if not a togetherness, there was, at the very least, a home.

Summary
Abbie’s head fell back in exasperation and she gritted out, “Then get it through your thick skull that Laurent being a horny asshole is the only reason you’re here, and you staying only encourages him.”
“I...” Edamura stammered. His face softened into what looked like genuine confusion. “What?”
“Oh, Edamame,” Cynthia cooed, chin resting on her hands, “you are adorable!”
———
Confronting Laurent doesn’t go quite as Edamura expected.

Summary
He misses Wilbur so much it aches sometimes. Usually late at night, when he can’t sleep and the memories of seeing his father and uncle tearing away from the podium as Schlatt ordered anyone armed in the vicinity after them, or the explosions under the van and the dead eyes of Dream’s mask keep him awake. He’ll lay in bed and try to remind himself of the good things - the smell of flower fields, the gentle strum of a guitar coming from the kitchen, the smell of meat cooking over the fire.
It worked sometimes. Other times, Fundy would lay awake for hours, just listening to the sounds of Manberg around him. Everything was louder without the walls muffling the noise from the forest, and the flap of the flag in the breeze was gone.
It didn’t feel like the same place anymore.Series

Terror rips its way into his chest, nestling deep inside of his heart.
Wilbur tears himself away from where the laughter is coming from, forcing himself to keep walking.
It's all he can do - keep walking.

Summary
Illuso Miguel Ramirez Salvatore (or Illuso Ramirez, for short) had never known what it was like to have good friends or a loving family until swearing his loyalty to Passione, thus joining the syndicate's tightly knit squad of hitmen. After several months of being a part of the team, he comes to realize that he's caught feelings for another assassin, Formaggio Russo, who he considers to be his first true friend.
Being a hermit for the majority of his life, he's still learning how to express himself, so he doesn't exactly know how to tell Formaggio how he feels. The possibility of his feelings being unrequited doesn't make things any easier.
