Summary
Nicolo knew the instant he was no longer alone, when a shadow dropped from an alleyway onto the road behind him. It was his favorite shadow, if he was honest with himself, and his blood was already rising at the thought of battle.

Summary
Elias was fairly used to Peter showing up unannounced in his office. Usually, he’d only get a moment’s warning before Peter would appear, leaning a hip jauntily against Elias’s desk.
“What do you want?” he asked when reality shivered for just a moment before cold blue eyes were looking down at Elias. Peter looked as he always did, wide with well-used muscles and hair white as sea salt. Elias remembered when it was dark, when it shone like mahogany in the sunlight. He liked him better now. Peter would look intimidating, Elias imagined, to anyone who didn’t know him. To those who did, his physique was the least concerning aspect of him.

Summary
“S-statement ends,” Jon stuttered eventually, shifting in his seat. The movement made him suddenly, intimately, aware of a part of his anatomy that he usually didn’t give much thought. “For fuck’s sake,” he muttered to himself then spoke up a little for the recording, mostly on instinct. “I’ve gotten used to the... physical element of recording statements, the sustenance and energy. It stands to reason that living for a moment through someone else’s… lust might have a similar affect.”

Summary
“I just came here to tell you that you were right.”
John’s eyebrows nearly hit his hairline; Sara was mildly offended. “I was right? About what exactly?”
Sara drew herself up as much as possible and said, “I am wholly ignorant about the world that men can freely inhabit, one of pleasure and gratification. One that you freely inhabit. You claimed to be happy about that ignorance and yet you’re the only man I can trust to educate me in it.”

Summary
Any complex system will eventually generate paradoxes. A sociopath who feels. A martyr who lives to fight again. A life and a home built around the inevitability of mortality.
Or: Shaw finds Root after Samaritan's death. They try to sort through the debris left behind and turn it into something they can build a life on.

Summary
Barba’s narrowed eyes flashed over him, assessing, and he knew any hope he had that Barba had by some miracle not managed to catch that was futile. “And you’re still interested?” he asked, voice soft and quiet and tripping some alarm in Sonny that blared “deadly.” He’s a danger to you, his mind screamed at him. He’ll eat you alive.
“Definitely.”
No one ever accused Sonny Carisi of being a coward. Or of having a strong sense of self-preservation.

Summary
Keith hadn’t stopped falling when the Black Lion wrested control back from Shiro and halted their own plummet, just above the edge of the trees on whatever green lush planet whose atmosphere had claimed them and whose gravity had brought them crashing down.
Shiro lost sight of Keith and waited. The Red Lion will break the surface of the trees soon, he thought. He’ll see them both soon. It’s going to be fine.
Something exploded, far too close to where he last saw Red and Keith.
