    Summary

    He thinks maybe it should make him more frightened, that he should worry about the liabilities he has allowed these people to become. It does nothing to temper the joy of being trusted, of being someone worthy of friend. It does nothing to diminish the memory of Caleb’s spellbook in his lap this morning, its owner sound asleep before him; the sweet press of concern behind Jester’s words in his mind the night before as she reached out with sending.
    A rabbit walks into a snare. The snare closes around its throat, killing it. What is responsible for its death, the stupidity of the rabbit or the viciousness of the snare’s purpose?
    The Shadowhand of the Bright Queen walks into the T-Dock, he thinks, and feels sick.

    Two months after surviving the ruin of Aeor, Caleb and Essek return to tie up loose ends.

    On the brink of war between the Empire and the Dynasty, Essek is visited by a Scourger tasked with assassinating him once his use runs out.

    Summary

    “You’re a terror,” Xaaron tells them as they stand to leave, not unkindly, “but don’t let that distract you from the fact that either Animus or I can request your suspension.”
    Brainstorm shrugs, feeling their temper thrash.
    “I’m a Kimia kid,” they say, “you throw me out, I finish my degrees somewhere else, and in ten years when you send the emails asking for donations to the college, I send you a picture of my approved grants instead, okay?”

    (This time it’ll work.)

    Summary

    Whenever he stumbles, or says something wrong, or catches Hera off-guard with a familiarity that they no longer share, she can quietly remind him “take as many do-overs as you need to, Doug,” and he can nod and they’ll both reset to their original places and start again. Chess pieces that don’t know how they can move, bishops in L-shapes and pawns on diagonals.

    (Doug Eiffel comes back from the Wolf.)

    Summary

    There are nights when sleep doesn’t come easily, like it should. Like it used to, before he cracked every rib hitting compacted waves and sank into the depths, feeling his own eyes replaced by bright beacons of something ancient and cruelty-yellow and hateful. Sometimes he’s angry the second he wakes, fresh from the tide and spitting salt. It’s not worth thinking about, he reminds himself again.

     

    (Fjord’s not good with storms.)

    tdrk - 5:32 am
    Yes. He took to it a little too quickly - we might need to stage a coup to get your spot back.

    Midoriya bites down on his lip around a laugh.
    Nope, nothing’s changed.

    Summary

    Midoriya cries. Constantly.
    Todoroki isn’t really sure what to do with that.

    (He remembers that he used to cry, too, as a kid. He’s not sure when he stopped.)

    Summary

    “Your quirk’s not exactly cut out for hero work.”
    Shouta examines his teeth in the bathroom mirror before bed, pulling his upper lip aside to study his gums, looking for the compound-eye glitter beneath the skin, the pulsing center of his quirk, but finds nothing. He brushes his teeth until they bleed instead.

    Summary

    “I already have plans tonight,” he blurts out without thinking.
    To Kaminari’s credit, he doesn’t laugh. The disbelief is clear in the way his eyes widen, though, and in a split second Shinsou commits to the lie just to see that look go away.
    “Study session,” he says, with all the confidence and smooth composure of a political science major.
    “With who?” Kaminari asks.
    “Midoriya,” he says without meaning to, “Izuku Midoriya. We have class together.”
    Fuck , he thinks, very clearly and with venom.

    This is Yamada in his element, playing with the sounds he makes, making up the harmonies on the spot to complement the drums, smiling and laughing. This is him happy , bright and loud and perfectly content.

     

    I’m being stupid. I’m not in love with Yamada Hizashi.

    Summary

    “Back!” He shouts, propelling himself with one foot backward toward the alleyway, and in a moment he can see Tokoyami’s Dark Shadow go paper-thin as it stretches horizontally in a shield and Kirishima’s skin hardens and his breath billows out in front of him before -

    The entire Tower is engulfed in a glacier.

    Summary

    “The fuck did you do?” Impactor asks him out in front of the convenience store Whirl bums cigarettes from. He lifts a stolen camo bic to a fresh one and waits a second for it to catch. Then he slowly pulls it from his lips, cocks his head, and says with all the slow, deliberate fuck you he can, “No idea what you’re talking about, chief.”

    Summary

    “Yeah, see? This is what we probably need! I mean… I mean… that’s what we need, right, Rung? Something to get our minds off of - y’know?”

     

    Rung had lifted his head from his arms, blinked sleepily, nodded, and collapsed back down into recharge.

     

    “Then it’s settled! I’ll go make the bar look nice, you guys figure out what we should do.”

    Summary

    "You never told me what you saw out there, buddy." Coop tells him, softly, out on the porch one night.
    "The data I collated from beyond the event horizon didn't survive the return trip," TARS says, "because I wasn't built for that shit. NASA doesn't make robots in five dimensions."
    Cooper nods, somber, and flips the beer bottle top in his palm between his fingers (one dimension, two dimensions, three dimensions, four - )
    "I'm telling myself that, too, slick," Cooper murmurs.

    (And you, my father, there on the sad height,
    Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray
    Do not go gentle into that good night,
    Rage, rage, against the dying of the light)
