Summary
"All at once, Killua simply detaches. He steps outside his body. He stops feeling, stops seeing, stops thinking. He merely breathes, as slowly and evenly as he can, and holds perfectly still and prepares himself to endure. He isn’t Killua anymore, not really. And that’ll make it easier. Whatever’s coming. When he’s no longer Killua, the pain doesn’t hurt quite so much. The terror isn’t quite so acute. He can observe this person, this body, enduring whatever cruelty it’s subjected to from a safe distance. He’ll hurt for a while, and Killua will be outside of it. And then when it’s over, he’ll come back."
Sometimes, old wounds reopen when you least expect it.

Summary
Set post S1 E25, just after the Zoldyck family arc. Little bit of head canon filler/ fix it fic. Canon compliant violence and discussion of abuse.
'Killua hisses as he passes over a particularly deep lash, its edges are frayed and it cannot have been made by a regular whip. Gon’s fist clenches around the cloth, and warm water runs out between his fingers. He’s heard of such things in dark corners from cruel people, but never seen them. His next word breaks in two and he sounds far more like the child both of them are supposed to be than either of them ever do.
"Why?" '
Killua and Gon discuss what happened to him at the Zoldyck mansion.

Summary
Everything is still the same but not, and Killua wonders how long this happiness will last. He can't help it; it's ingrained into him, this cautiousness that has saved his life countless times before.
Gon, on the other hand, is set on proving to him that this happiness can last. And if Gon was one thing, it was stubborn to the point of obstinacy.

Summary
Merlin's been tipping sideways for a while now. This is how he finally falls.
Or
We saw in canon how Merlin changed through-out the seasons of the show from young, cheerful, pure and naïve boy to expressionless, morally dubious, borderline depressed man even when Arthur was alive and well. I just wrote this thinking what would happen if Arthur had lived but Merlin was still hidden.- Language:

Summary
A normal and healthy teenager usually doesn’t think too much about death. It’s something so far away, almost unreal and not important – until it happens. And suddenly, without a warning, becomes very real.

Summary
Three months into dating Mafuyu, here is some of the information that Ritsuka has collected about him:
Mafuyu sleeps curled up into the tiniest ball imaginable. His knees draw up to his chest, and he wraps his arms around them as if he’s so cold he’ll never know warmth again. His expression isn’t sad exactly, but every so often he’ll sigh and shiver in his sleep and mumble something Ritsuka pretends not to hear. He loves napping in the sunlight.

in principle incapable of translation into an ordinary language by intimatopia
Fandoms: Given (Anime)
08 Jan 2020

Summary
If someone were to behave as if they understood a language of which no-one else can make sense, we might call this an example of a private language. It is not sufficient here, however, for the language to simply be one that has not yet been translated. In order to count as a private language in Wittgenstein's sense, it must be in principle incapable of translation into an ordinary language – if for example it were to describe those inner experiences supposed to be inaccessible to others.
Private language argument, Wikipedia
Sometimes Mafuyu felt like the last speaker of a dead language.

“I don’t want you to worry,” Mika forced out.
“A moot effort,” said Yuu. “I’ll always worry about you.”
“But you shouldn’t—”
“Hey,” Yuu interrupted. He plucked a small, iron cup up from a nearby shelf and sunk it beneath the surface of the water. “Close your eyes, I’m rinsing.”
