Summary

It jumps up and down, confirming, and she laughs, something that has always reminded Ash a bit of windchimes. Like the windchimes she used to always have in the garden, which he would close his eyes and listen to for hours sometimes, when he was very small, until she’d find him under the tomato bushes and take him inside and clean off his scrapes that always healed faster than they should.

She doesn’t even need a battle. She just throws a pokeball at it and it jumps up to meet it, and the ball rocks only once before confirming the catch.

Or: Delia and Ash, catching pokemon as spring arrives.

Summary

“Snow!” he yells, his voice so loud it makes some nearby pidgey flutter out of a tree. He lowers his voice and says “Sorry!” to them. Their ruffled feathers give a distinct sense of disapproval. “Ash,” he whisper-yells. “Snow, it’s snow!”

Ash has that big smile that always warms him up whenever he sees it. He doesn’t have a lot of memories from when he was really little, but he’s got this feeling - and maybe it’s more of a dream than a memory, but when he thinks back to the first thing he can remember, a fuzzy image of Ash’s smile comes up. He thinks, based on the stories he’s been told, it’s from the very first time they met. The colors feel a bit like watercolor, like paint that’s been smeared. But when he sees Ash smile like he is right now, that’s what he thinks of.

Or: A ten-year-old Lei sees snow for the first time.

Summary

She runs out of the wings onto the stage, Pancham in tow, curtsying to the audience and judges before starting her performance. The flash of golden-auburn hair catches her eye again, however, and she stares after the previous performer as she walks away from the stage.
It’s not until after the showcase ends that Serena thinks again about her distraction. She’s been more and more distracted lately, and it’s been affecting her performances in the Sinnoh Showcase circuit. Sylveon’s ribbons are curled around her wrists the way they always are.
The girl’s name was Olive, who went before her. Olive, with that hair that seemed to be a different shade every time she moved, shimmering between gold and auburn and orange, with that slight wave and -
Well, that part doesn’t really matter.

Summary

Ash thinks of the little white pill he takes every night. He thinks about how Brock sat him down two years into their journey and showed him a handful of pills. “I take these every night,” he’d said, looking at Ash. “What are they?” he’d responded.
“They’re for a few things. But back when I was your age I used to start getting these episodes. Anxious all the time, you know, taking care of all my siblings. But sad, too. And then I started taking these, and they helped. They still do.”
Ash had nodded carefully. “Wow, Brocko. I had no idea. Thanks for telling me. Don’t get me wrong, but why?”
Brock had smiled at Ash, a little sadly, and he’d felt like his friend could see straight through to his soul. “We’ve been traveling together for a while. And I think I noticed it the very first day we started, you know? There was something about you. And I just think it might help.”

Summary

It takes a few excruciatingly long moments for Trinity to register the person who has scooped up the preschooler in his arms as Frank Langdon. As in: the senior resident that publicly humiliated her on her first day. The very same Frank Langdon that she reported for stealing drugs from patients. The beloved asshole of the Pitt whose life she ruined.

What the fuck.
When Trinity takes a part-time gymnastics coaching position, she certainly doesn’t expect one of her star students to share a last name with the senior resident she somehow managed to (sort of) fire a few months ago

Summary

Peter is fine, anyways. His boss might fire him soon, the Avengers might arrest him soon, the principal might expel him soon, but none of it has happened yet. And his dad—
“You didn’t get my coffee,” his dad says, halfway through his burrito. He has been in a state of low, simmering irritation all evening, and apparently this is how long it took for him to find a reason to blame Peter for it.
“You didn’t tell me to get coffee.”
“Do you have eyes?”
“Yes,” Peter says. “I have eyes.”
“So you could have checked if we needed coffee without me telling you every little thing, Jesus Christ.”
-
Peter just wants to make it to sixteen so he can escape this life and strike out on his own. He has a plan and nothing will ruin it.
Not even Tony Stark quite literally crashing into his life.

Summary

“Kid. You’re not just here for some mission. Is that what Steve told you when he plucked you out of that jail cell?”
Peter snorts and pushes off the doorframe. “Steve didn’t tell me shit,” he says. “And even if he did, I do what I want. So if I wanted to sit around with all you people and play Settlers of Catan while eating homemade pretzels, I would. But I don’t, so I don’t. You are a roof over my head and food on my plate. Other than that, you can all leave me the hell alone.” He turns and the bedroom door slams.
“Is that right,” Tony tells the closed door, setting his hands on his hips. “Oh, we’ll see about that.”
Mission. Freaking. Acquired.
Also, homemade pretzels sounds like a great idea.

how to (not) be normal about things (by trinity santos) by some_pomegranate_tea

Summary

Langdon drags a hand across his face, not even looking at her anymore, but he still feels too close, way too close. “Jesus Christ.”

Trinity tries to breathe through the pounding in her heart.

“If you don’t take a few steps back, this is about to get a lot more humiliating for both of us,” she says tightly, hoping Langdon can’t hear the slight waver in her voice.

~~~

Getting stuck in a closet with a man who could hurt her is not a scenario which Trinity Santos is prepared to be calm about.
