Summary
After you try and redeem yourself during the war, you immediately go and throw yourself into more danger in a sick attempt to prove yourself. The only thing you do end up proving is that you don't care whether you live or die, and everyone notices, but they don't say anything. You try, and try and try, only to end up failing in the end. But that's okay, because you have more family that you ever thought you could.
(this is a theo-centric fanfic in second person)

Summary
"You can't take pain if you don't care," Mason had said a few days prior.
And now here Theo was, packed full of bullets, holding a dying boy's hand and making it stop hurting.
(very loosely based off of 'i don't know anyone i am' by salvia plath)

Summary
“So tell me then,” the shapeshifter says, voice dropping into a whine. "What gave it away?"
Dick clenches his jaw hard while he tightens his grip on the knife. “He’s never polite before noon, firstly, he’s got a muscle tick in his left eyebrow, secondly, and he never asks me if we’re going to go, he just says so,” he says, hearing his voice growing louder, the back of his throat tightening up, as emotion threatens to break it. “And he wouldn’t kiss me.”
“He wouldn’t – ?” The shapeshifter pants, “You serious? Fuck.” They start to laugh more croaking noises. “He definitely thinks about it enough that it seemed like he did it for real.”

Summary
The letter is almost unreadable, by the time Babe turns off of the interstate and into Baton Rouge. He ghosts a featherlight fingertip over the writing even now, long after the lead has been wiped away. He still remembers the word that had been there, feels it against his skin like he's a blind man reading braille. Cancer, it reads. Somewhere further down, another groove will spell out, low on time, first, then, nothing they can do. It's so cliche it makes Babe want to throw up.
----
Or, the one in which Gene and Babe survive the war, go back to their homes, and try to lead their own separate lives--until Gene gets sick, Babe gets a letter, and it all comes crashing down.

Summary
The days melt into weeks melt into months and, at this rate into years, and Babe's still stuck fighting this damned war.
At least he has Gene - that's the one upside to all of this.

Summary
Lewis looks up from the contract, raising a brow, then stumbles up from the sofa when he sees Dick standing in the doorway. It’s not so odd, in itself, but Dick is in his skivvies and blinking into space, like he’s not quite sure why he’s even standing up.
“Hey, there,” Lewis says, reaching out and touching at a clammy shoulder with a wince. “You look peaky – you feel okay?”
“Nix is gone.”
“You found him, who else – ?” Lewis pauses, lifting slightly on his toes to better peer up at Dick’s face, into his half-open, glassy eyes, and falling back flat on his feet when he realizes Dick must still be asleep. He’s never seen him sleepwalk, or talk, but… it’s not necessarily impossible. “Hey, you need to go back to bed… I think.”
“Taylor sent Nix to Varsity.”
“What a bastard,” Lewis says, wry, as he gently pushes Dick up the stairs.
“The plane exploded,” Dick says, his voice tightening, lifting some from the bland drone.

Summary
A story in which Matt thinks that he can escape the laws of physics and the human heart by detaching himself from anyone who's ever loved him -- but even Frank can see that he's come unmoored, and is aware that there's only so long a person can go without food or sleep and still stay alive.
Or: a story in which Matt gets a concussion and some french toast.
