and the night air feels alive by contradieu

Summary
The scene plays out like an old movie, played so many times it becomes burned into the screen - Nora cracking a bad joke, Autumn laughing despite herself, Swann's beaming smile. It makes Kat sick with want. And yeah, she has it now - but she wants it forever.

Summary
When Akechi wakes up, he heads to Leblanc without meaning to, as if in a trance. He feels nauseous with the ghost of dream-Akira’s touch. Right as he sits down at the counter out of habit, or maybe even before, a calloused hand pushes a cup of coffee towards him. “Pitch-black. Just how you like it, right?”
Akechi makes a valiant effort to not startle, and takes the drink wordlessly. He lets the bitterness scald his tongue. It wakes him up just enough for him to ask, apropos of nothing - “Do you forgive me?” He thinks about the soft hands in his dream, tenderly brushing bangs matted with blood out of his tear-stained face. He thinks of Akira saying yes.

Summary
Verr Goldet finds herself at the periphery of so many stories that are not hers to tell, touching the edges of ink-stained pages and closing her eyes, lost in wonder, at the magic that so many lives together conjures up. She sometimes wonders how many millenia it would take to fill a book with all of them. But regardless, there is always life at the Inn, from newborn darlings to ancient beings, archons and humans and adepti and one very well-loved cat.

Summary
"There's nobody else that comes close," Maya says, suddenly serious, hand gripping hers tightly. Claudine feels all the blood in her body rush to her face. "You're the only one I could ever give flowers to, Claudine, the only one I could ever be with." She pauses, and smiles tenderly. "You haven't lost," Maya repeats. "We'll never lose as long as we're together." Another pause, another smile. "My Claudine."

Summary
"You know if you asked, I would give it to you," Zhongli says, after a pause, when Childe doesn't make to reply.
This gets Childe to pause, breath hitching. But he carries on as normal a heartbeat later, so quickly Zhongli thinks he may have imagined that moment of hesitation. His fingers are soft as they resume their thoughtful meandering through Zhongli's hair.
"That's why I haven't," Childe says, mild and sweet as anything.

Summary
"... I thought nothing grew here," Mary says, struck, as Michiko gently tucks the flower behind her ear.
"Flowers can grow anywhere with a bit of love," Michiko replies. Her gaze is soft.

Summary
"Motherfucker," Qrow exhales, and tries not to look at Roman's lips. "That wasn't necessary."
Roman laughs quietly, and doesn't take his hand away. It burns warm on Qrow's arm. "I think it was," he replies, raising an eyebrow, teasing. "It worked, didn't it? Saved us both."
"You can't- you can't just kiss people," Qrow sputters. His face feels hot. Roman's eyes are so fond he has to look away. The real danger is here.
"Dire circumstances call for improvisation," Roman says, and smiles. -

Summary
There is something simple and good about this, he thinks as Qrow settles back down on his side of the bed with a smile, facing the light then turning to him with a softness that fits so gently on his sharp face, something simple and good that stood in defiance of their shared stories.

Summary
He reaches out gloved fingers towards what was once Starkiller but is now just a bitter, bitter memory, and thinks about Kylo Ren and his destruction.
He thinks, and thinks, and knows not much time is left.

Summary
It’s odd to him, then, the feeling of being so distant even though they’re all bunched up close in a little spaceship, or linked through Voltron, or falling asleep on each other after a hard day of training. Keith knows he’s different, they’re all different, of course - but something stands out and he can’t quite put a finger on it.

Summary
Oikawa thought that this was going to be easy. He's never had any trouble on his missions ever, even when asked to dispatch some of his closest acquaintances. It's supposed to be simple - flirt a little, maybe ask them out, worm your way into their bed - then the next day, click, bang, thump, and the job is done. But Mamma Mia.
Once he sees those arms, he knows.
Oikawa Tooru is so, so fucked.(incomplete; abandoned)

Are You Really Scared Because Voldemort Looks Like Your Old Biology Teacher by contradieu
Fandoms: Haikyuu!!
16 Feb 2017
Tags
Summary
Akaashi sighs faintly from behind Tsukishima and vaults over it in a single graceful move, landing primly on the actual sofa. “It’s a Pottermore quiz. Calm down. Tsukishima-san, I’ll gladly be your favorite boyfriend. Bokuto, stop crying. Kuroo, please don’t tell me you’re scared of being in Slytherin because Voldemort looks like your old biology teacher… and he doesn’t have a nose.”
“And his snake looks like it could strangle me,” Kuroo whimpers into Tsukishima’s shoulder. “My bio teacher had a pet snake t-too.”

Summary
Kuroo had actually forgotten it was his birthday until Bokuto shows up at his door with cake and friends and screams in what is definitely not an indoor voice, "Hey hey hey, ya piece of trash. You're old now!!"
In which Kuroo's neighboring students will never, ever forgive him (until he offers them leftover cake and a complimentary autograph from Bokuto).
