Summary
Jet’s no genius but he knows machines. He hears the noise of pressure building, something close to combustion. “Get down!” he shouts into his comms, but he’s interrupted by a cacophony of sights and sounds.
There’s a spark of light, a burst of flame, and the metal column in the middle of the room explodes. The static of his comms malfunctioning in his ear is jarring but another sound makes his heart stop. Juno lets out a sharp noise of pain and out of the corner of his eye Jet can see the lady hit the ground hard.

Summary
It’s the third time Devon has watched her sister’s head collide with cold, ceramic kitchen tile.
She wonders if the occurrence ever becomes normal. She wonders if one day, she’ll visit Mark and, when the fall inevitably happens, she’ll react logically, not viscerally. She’ll laugh it off, quip something along the lines of “You alright, m’lady?” and retrieve an ice pack from a well-stocked freezer.
In which Devon attempts to support her transgender sister as they grow up together.

Summary
There’s something wrong, and it’s getting worse. His chest heaves, trying to choke down air and choking on mint instead. There’s a low growl rumbling out from the walls behind him. He stares himself down in the mirror, trying to glean what shoe is about to drop. His head is spinning, and everything feels slightly out of place, and it’s going to get worse and worse and worse.
And then the tension breaks.

Frank Iero is a 19-year-old butch lesbian from New Jersey. She's got a band, a car, and tattoos. All she needs is a girlfriend.
(Or: the butch/femme indulgent Frerard fic I've been waiting to write, because life is short! Hot RPF summer, baby! Frank is a butch cis lesbian and Gerard is a femme trans girl, which feels right to me.)

Summary
“I think I’m dying.”
Hannibal blinks, feeling blindsided, before a surge of relentless anger floods every corner of his body. Will stares with that same vacant mask he’s built, giving nothing away.
“You are not dying.” He replies, sure as can be. Of course, Will isn’t dying. Ridiculous boy, how could he—
“Maybe I should.”
And Hannibal freezes.
Blood, bones, and tar all turn to ice. His spine straightens without his permission and Hannibal leans back, fixing his unmoving boy with a blank stare that reflects a calmness that he no longer feels.
Will drops his eyes, clenches his hands into fists, then releases. “Maybe I should just let whatever this is…” He swallows hard. “Kill me.”
_________________Will calls Hannibal in a panic after he sleepwalks and ends up in the woods. Hannibal finds him and gets him home safely, but there are more than just nightmares and exhaustion crawling around in Will's mind now, and Hannibal begins to realize that perhaps he pushed too far.

Summary
When they were alone, Gansey always looked at Noah like he cared about him, like was curious, and like he was sorry. Noah believed him. Noah didn’t care to know why he was like he was, but he was flattered that Gansey tried to understand it. That was better than Whelk, by the longest shot.
Noah is dead and Gansey is alive. For now, it's enough.
