Summary
It was the smallest he had ever looked to Astarion, but there was no comfort to be found in it. Astarion thought he had seen every twisted mask that face was capable of – from sadistic pleasure to bored detachment and everything in between – but he was wrong. The icy hatred in Cazador’s eyes was a novelty that chilled Astarion to his core, and he knew his master would not rest until he made his creation regret the day it stepped out of line.
Astarion and his companions prevented Cazador from completing the Ascension, but his former master escaped before they could strike a killing blow. Now, in the wake of the Absolute's defeat, Astarion has no choice but to wait and see what form Cazador's revenge might take.

Summary
Coulson, for his part, stares up at Bucky with such a betrayed look of frozen horror that Natasha actually goes the extra step and presses another button, capturing the moment and airdropping the photograph to her phone for posterity. When he speaks, his voice comes out as a hoarse whisper. “Why…?” He swallows and starts again, trying for some semblance of normality. “...Why would you tweet something like that?!”
“If you must know, sir,” and somehow he manages to make ‘sir’ come out with the same inflection most people reserve for ‘motherfucking son of a bitch’, “it’s because I have a difficult time doing my job when my job involves monitoring the man with the best fucking ass in the United States of America.” He slowly lowers himself back into his seat until he’s at eye level, making extreme eye contact with Coulson until Coulson turns away to make mortified eye contact in Natasha’s general direction through the one-way glass. Natasha would take another picture, if she weren’t too busy catching Steve’s red-faced sputtering. “Sometimes, I vent to my Twitter followers. Sometimes, it’s about hot men with washboard abs. Can I go now, or do you need a graphic description of how I pleasure myself at night?”

They say dreaming will "help him process" everything. It's usually hilarious when people are wrong.
This isn't as funny as he'd like.

Summary
It’s their fourth year in Gravity Falls after just turning 16 that Dipper finally cracks.
He’s always hated going home to Piedmont at the end of summer. People never understand him back in California; he’s always been the weird one, the kid that gets picked on and pushed around.
It doesn’t help that most of the kids in his grade have known him and Mabel since they were in elementary school—they’d known Dipper back when he and Mabel still told people that they were identical.
They’re still technically identical, but they don’t broadcast that fact anymore—not since Dipper came out.
--
Dipper isn't ready to go back to California; Mabel has a solution.- Language:

Summary
Stan can feel his heartbeat thudding, a low, dull ache in his chest, as he stares at the door. He doesn’t know what he expected when he got here—a phone call, some scrap of familiarity—but instead, there’s only that dark, uninviting door, barely visible against the relentless white. His fingers tremble slightly as he shifts his grip, the leather cold and unforgiving against his skin. The silence feels alive, pressing against him, whispering to him that he could just turn the key, drive away, leave it all behind.

Summary
His gaze drifts up to Bill but the demon is still staring, almost unseeingly, at the board between them. Ford looks back at the board again, surveying Bill's move. He missed his chance to block. “What's this, then?” he asks, fingers dusting over a piece. “Right now?”
Ford doesn't look up at Bill. Bill doesn't look up at Ford. “A game of chess,” comes the deflated response. “I think.”

Bookmarker's Notes
ive never had to tag "no happy ending" before because i never bookmark fics without a happy ending. in fact i try to avoid them entirely. it speaks to the sheer fucking obsession i have with these two that i even read this, and it speaks to the emotional resonance op conjured into being that i'd be willing to read this again. holy shit, dude. holy fuck.
(i am absolutely making the happy ending au tho. sorry op.)

When he wakes, he is on a beach, gold, looking up at the sun.
Ah, he thinks, distant. I'm dreaming.
Astarion is never quite sure, until the moment Cazador lies dead before him, whether this entire adventure is anything more than an extremely vivid hallucination.
