Summary
"What beast?" Albert eventually questioned his coworkers, feeling a long-buried passion stirring within his heart again.
Albert was handed over the newspaper, eyes wide in the face of a sketch of a massive creature spotted lurking the open plains within West Elizabeth. It looked like some form of wolf, though far larger and the illustration emphasized the glowing eyes of the creature.
An ardent reflection of one of mother nature’s most finest and merciless killers, untamed even as the wild lands surrounding it become smothered by humanity’s overreaching palm. The newspaper column was calling for local trappers to hunt it down - apparently it was ‘disturbing’ local livestock and farmers. Though to Albert, it appeared to be the most fascinating animal he’d ever laid eyes on. The true pinnacle of everything he’d ever wanted to capture in a photograph - the true and utter beauty that came from a creature so primal. A photograph of such a monster…
Or, Albert Mason goes on a wild goosechase for a certain predator. Unaware it's closer than he thinks.

Summary
"Arthur had learned this dance over the past decade. It was much more delicate than the ugly tumble it took to start a fight. Finding out if someone was itching for violence was simple, the signs often plain and in the open. It was expected of men to have the urge sometimes, as if they had a build-in affinity towards bloodied knuckles and bruised skin.
But the other dance was more complicated. It worked through small gestures, lingering gazes, fleeting touches. It had taken Arthur years to learn the intricacies of it.
He had also learned the prize for any misstep."
A look at Arthur's life, 1877-1898.

Summary
Lucius Malfoy wanted his son refined.
Durmstrang gave him opinions, a spine and, Merlin help us, a personality.
After a very public Hippogriff mishap and a Lucius-grade meltdown, Draco Malfoy is promptly shipped off to Durmstrang. The idea is to toughen him up, straighten him out, and remind him who he’s meant to be.
Instead, Draco starts asking questions. Making unlikely friends. Catching feelings he can't quite name. Worst of all? He begins to change and not in the ways his father intended.

Summary
"Jove held the baby up to the light. It was a squishy, wet, pallid thing, a little jaundiced and soft in the wrong places. Misshapen and pathetic. It was a bag of skin stretched over rolls of fat that bunched at the wrists and neck and ankles, soft-boned and bloody. Jove's gloves left smears of sticky, red blood over the baby's neck and belly, so thick and congealed it was almost black. Except that he could see its chest rise and fall with the strength of a bird, the baby was so silent it seemed dead."
-
In a world under the terrifying iron grip of the Sanguinary--blood mages with incredible power and unmitigated political influence--Jove decides he wants to raise a child. He is not the right person to raise a child. He is, rather, the right person to raise a weapon.
(One day, this weapon of his will be raised against him, but until then, it loves him.)Series

Summary
By choosing not to call the police ten minutes ago, and the hospital twelve minutes ago, and Bruce fifteen minutes ago, the decision has been made. There is no backing out, now.
His sweatshirt is still covered in blood, and soaked from the rain, but he ignores this. It’s fine. He’s fine. He’s the same calm, level-headed Tim he’s always been. So he plans.
Tim is a murderer. He murdered someone. It's an unchangeable, unshakeable fact...but no-one else knows about it. No-one knows what Tim has done. And if he’s smart, and careful, no-one ever will.
All he has to do is learn to live with it.

Summary
It is the Red Wolf Moon and winter’s first snow has fallen thickly over the Tailtean Plains. Dimitri has just escaped from his execution in Fhirdiad. He has lost the crown, his eye, and his pride; all he has to his name are the clothes he is wearing, the armor and lance that Dedue had managed to pass onto him, the paltry supplies he took off of the soldiers he had killed while making his getaway, his ghosts and his memories. He does not know where to go nor what he should do – he isn’t sure there is either a place or a purpose for him anymore.
As Dimitri stares over the white expanse in front of him, Felix’s voice surfaces in his mind. The last time that they had spoken was the day before the invasion of Garreg Mach; they had crossed paths by chance late into the evening and Felix steadfastly refused to meet Dimitri’s gaze.
“I don’t even want to see your face right now,” Felix had said, scowling deeply. Even so consumed by revenge, still Dimitri thought Felix looked lovely, touched and yet ever unchanged by evil. “Get lost.”
So that’s exactly what Dimitri does: he gets lost.

Summary
This is not the first time Felix has greeted this morning – or the third, or even the tenth. He’s begun to lose track of how many times he’s traced this same path, worn this same groove in the floor. Keeping track of the days feels fruitless – there’s no clock to run out, no evident limit to the number of times Felix can fail and die and scream and curse.
The morning will keep coming no matter what. Until Dimitri is saved. Until Felix can get him out of this alive.
Or, Felix keeps waking up on the morning of Dimitri's execution.

Summary
“Or what about Ushijima?”
That catches Kiyoomi’s attention, and he stops in the middle of the street to turn around and scowl at Atsumu. “What about Ushijima?”
Atsumu must tilt his head back to smirk up at Kiyoomi from beneath the visor of his cap. “He’s not workin’ on quicks. You’d be a step ahead of him if ya did. He might even raise an eyebrow in surprise or somethin’ equally as scandalous.”
Kiyoomi stares at him, narrows his gaze as he scrutinises Atsumu’s face, the challenge in the upturned corners of his lips. “Are you attempting to manipulate me, Miya?” he asks.
“I dunno. Is it workin’?”
“Kind of.”
“Then yeah, I guess.”
______________________
When Kiyoomi and Atsumu accidentally pull off a minus-tempo quick during practice, Atsumu convinces Kiyoomi to practice it for the new season.
It's sort of inevitable that he convinces Kiyoomi to fall in love with him too.- Language:

Summary
“It took a horrible accident for me to realize how goddamn wonderful everything is.” —Constance Blackwood, Ride the Cyclone
And isn’t that the truth. It had taken losing everything for Akira to realize just how much he loved Inaba. It took being thrown into jail for him to realize the full extent of how much he loved Tokyo, too. And after moving across the globe in an attempt to give him a break from the stresses of Tokyo, he may have just found something else to love too.

Summary
Maybe Tim should have stayed in Paris like he had promised Bruce.
Maybe he shouldn’t have followed Shiva when he knew that she could snap his neck in a heartbeat.
Maybe he should’ve hightailed it out of Nanda Parbat by the time he realized he was in the demon’s den, and its claws were sinking in.
Once a small boy in an empty bedroom shoved a knife to his throat, looking equal parts righteous and frightened, though, there was no chance Tim was running away. Not when he had too much to prove - and everything to protect.

Summary
"Do the dreams ever go away?" Dick asked.
"Not exactly." Bruce paused for a minute, as if rehearsing something in his mind. "It's like your yo-yo. When you play with it, it goes up and down, right? It's kind of like that, except the yo-yo gets longer as the years go by. At first the yo-yo comes up a lot. But as time goes on you let the yo-yo down for a longer time, and it doesn't hit you as often. The yo-yo will still hit you, and it will still hurt, but it won't be so constant. It will get easier."
"With my yo-yo, I can stop bouncing it," Dick said. "But for this, there's no way to stop the bounce?"
"No," Bruce said. "There's no way to stop the bounce."
Dick was alright, until (unless) he wasn't.
