Summary
(a snapshot inspired by this fic!A scene that doesn’t exist that wouldn’t leave my mind)
Struggling to reclaim a body he doesn’t feel like he belongs in whilst being thrust back into a life he left long behind, John is grappling with the happiness of seeing his family so young once more. Blessed with a second chance to do better, he can’t help feel bitter about himself back then, and vowing to change.
This is only reinforced after a visit from his young son, Jack.

Summary
So there were multiple things that led Keith to be in the situation he was in now. Inexperience on freeways, icy roads, 30 minutes from home, in a shitty car, with his one close family member out of the country. All the ingredients for a terrible night.
Keith wouldn’t say he was surprised when he gained consciousness again, because he’d always had bad luck growing up. But this, this event had to take the cake.

Summary
The thought of Sirius was too distracting, he was surprised at the fact that he could not focus on his very important schoolwork.
What was he doing at this time anyways? Remus asked himself. Sirius was an enigma ever since Remus set his eyes on the boy. His long dark hair, barely contained, appeared to have been tousled by a few sets of hands. Sirius’ face did not live up to his ‘name,’ as the first time Remus saw him, and nearly every time since, Sirius either wore a grin or a smirk. The boy made an obvious effort to look as playful and devious as he could, only opting to look serious when ordered to by his superiors.
He had a sharp jawline, paired with dark eyes and a perfect smile, the type of smile that made Remus see stars every time he saw it. (Which was a lot: whether that was a good thing or a bad thing, Remus hadn’t quite figured that out yet.)
Overall, Remus knew he was going to have an ‘interesting’ school year the moment he saw Sirius, especially so after seeing him to be his new roommate.

Summary
Like right now, Sam was brooding on the tower, alone and yet five actively looked for him.
Lifting her head, five pointed to the sky.
“Oh what did you see five?” Sam asked, flicking his eyes towards the sky to see what she was pointing at.
Five put her left hand on his arm, sliding her finger to spell out the word ‘Orions Belt.’
Sam huffed a laugh until, “Oh! I see it!”

Summary
After being ambushed by New Canton, five’s been lost in the empty streets, with a terrible transmission and only an educated guess where she is. Runner Five has to hope that she can make it back to Abel with Sam’s voice in her ear.
One shot of my take on Season One mission, A Voice in the Dark.

Summary
The bath takes care of the sweat. Takes care of the burnt bits of skin and fat that still cling to his palm. Zuko scrubs his body until it’s raw, blushing red; he dunks his head under the hot water and stays there, staring up at the dark, vaulted ceiling of the washroom until his lungs run out of breath to use.
The oil of honeysuckle and opium and cinnamon, sweet and sharp and earthy, does not wash the stench of scorched flesh out of his nose.Zuko falls asleep on the evening of his official coronation, when he’s twenty-one-years old and has finally reached his majority. Zuko wakes on the morning of the Agni Kai with his father, eight years earlier.
This is annoying for several reasons, like the fact that the War is still ongoing, that he has zero friends, and that Ozai is not in jail.
It’s time to scheme.Series

Summary
“I need a favour and if you’re annoying about it I’ll never tell your nosy ass anything about my life ever again,” Keith announces.
Shiro pauses for a second to consider how to play this.
He could play it cool. Act like he doesn’t care, like maybe he’ll help Keith if he can squeeze it into his schedule.
He glances down at his phone. He has zero new notifications. (Adam is doing his internship in the Amazon rainforest and has zero service, and Matt lost his phone for the eighth time this year, so. To be expected.) He is fooling no one.He sighs. “Tell me what you need, goober.”
Keith hesitates. His hands wring together nervously, and he won’t meet Shiro’s eyes. Shiro shifts slightly, sensing that the matter here is a little more serious than either of them are letting on, and pats the seat next to him.
“Talk to me,” he says quietly.
“Imaskinglancetogooutwithme,” Keith rushes out.

Summary
“You’re clearly not fine,” says Keith bluntly. He folds his arms across his chest, looking at Pidge head-on. “Come on. I’m shit at this stuff, so you’re just going to have to tell me. I’m not leaving until you do.”
Pidge gives him a weird look, anger evaporating in favor of vague bewilderment. “Most people don’t comfort others like this,” they say, raising an eyebrow. “Is this seriously your idea of helping?”
_____Or, Keith cuts Pidge's hair.
