Summary
Orym wakes up to the scent of iron. The groggy recognition of the smell of blood jolts him fully awake, and he sits bolt upright in bed where he’s cradled between Dorian and Fearne. Dorian has shifted in the night, rolling over to his side, and Orym’s eyes are instantly drawn to the dark, red stain coating the entire left side of Dorian’s clothing. Some of it looks long dried, but there’s a fresh spot that, coupled with the smell, tells Orym that something is still bleeding, and badly. Orym feels like he can’t breathe. For a moment he hears nothing but the pounding of his heart in his ears, and it’s only made worse when he realizes he can’t tell if Dorian is breathing or not. Without even hesitating, he’s yelling at the top of his lungs as he rolls Dorian onto his back, desperately checking for a pulse.
Dorian hides an injury and it goes about as well as you'd expect.

Summary
Realistically, Steve knew none of them were coming out of this unscathed. He may be dumb, but he’s not that stupid. You don’t face the things they’ve faced without taking some hits. Hell, he’s taken his fair share of physical damage (he hears Dustin’s voice say “HP, Steve! It’s HP!” in his head), and he knows they all have nightmares. So yeah, Steve knew, but that doesn’t mean he’s prepared for it.
——————
A brief character study about Steve Harrington and his inability to address and deal with his own trauma while simultaneously helping everyone through theirs.

Summary
Orym doesn’t unclench his fists until the three of them are back in their room at Eshteross’ manor, having decided it was safer to stay with him than go back to the inn. He takes his armor off quickly, hardly pausing to think the moment he’s through the door. He pushes past Dorian, unable to even look at him, the anger and the fear from the night burning hotter than Mister’s flames. He knows if he even looks at Dorian for longer than half a second, the fear will turn to vitriolic anger and he’ll end up saying something he regrets. Or worse, saying more than he ever intends to.
————————
After the ball, Orym deals with how close he could have come to losing Dorian.

Summary
In which... Peter's AP Psychology teacher assigns a project centered around fathers and father figures, and Peter has to swallow his pride and fear of rejection to ask the only person in his life that can somewhat qualify under those terms—Tony Stark.
“So… you’re struggling to find a role model?” he says, the hurt exaggerated but the undertone suspiciously genuine. “Because, kid, I’ve got to admit—I’m pretty offended. You’ve got prime real estate sitting right here.”
He gestures to himself, throwing in a dramatic flourish for good measure. “Do you know how many people are lining up, just begging for an interview with the Tony Stark? A lot. And they’re all waitlisted, by the way, because I don’t do interviews anymore.”
Peter glances at him, fighting back a grin. He can already see the spark in Tony’s eye—the itch to climb onto his soapbox and launch into a tirade about how modern interviewers lack imagination. It’s one of Tony’s favorite topics, right up there with “how coffee in America is an abomination” and “the absolute travesty of poorly designed tech.”

Summary
There’s a knock at the door.
Peter flinches at the sound. He’s never had a visitor.
Since the world had forgotten who Peter Parker was, he’s been living in an apartment that was the size of a shoebox. It has everything he needs: a stove, running water, a heater that works 60% of the time. It gets the job done.
Yet, he has never had someone knock on the door. He stands cautiously and focuses on any sounds that he hears. There is one familiar heartbeat.
Peter shakes his head, recognizing the paranoia that plagues him. He tries to convince himself that nothing is wrong, that he is safe. It’s why he does not check the peephole before opening the door.
Tony Stark stands at the other side.
