Summary
He has no reason to be this flustered over a wink. Over a pair of stupidly pretty magazine cover eyes staring at him, specifically at him.
Nope. None at all.
(Or: The Byers-Hopper family runs a coffee shop, and Jonathan is the one manning the counter when a storm rolls in— said storm being Steve bringing the Party over for some post-game pastries.)

Summary
And yet—he wasn't even focused on that part. He was grateful, don't get him wrong, but…
He couldn't stop thinking about how Jonathan just… held him. Pulled him up.
With one arm.
Jonathan Byers held his entire body weight with one arm.
"Just hold on." He'd told Steve. "I've got you."
And Steve was holding on to everything but his own goddamn sanity.
They had literally saved the world, and the thought at the front of his head the whole time?
Just how strong was Jonathan?

Summary
Steve falls asleep on the carpet, head tipped back against the old couch. Jonathan debates waking him. Doesn’t. He drapes a blanket over him instead, careful not to touch too much.
Steve murmurs something in his sleep. Jonathan’s name, maybe. Maybe not.
Jonathan sits on the edge of the couch and listens to Steve breathe until the tightness in his chest eases just a fraction.
He doesn’t question any of it.
He’s tired of questioning things.

Summary
Steve huffs begrudgingly. He doesn’t really want to spend his Tuesday and Thursday nights watching some random kid, but arguing with his mom when she’s already made up her mind is like trying to stop a freight train with brute force. “Okay. I’ll do it.”
Tuesday comes far, far too fast.
Steve pulls up to the Byers’ house just after five, the late September sun transforming almost everything in Hawkins into shades of orange. The house is strikingly small, set back from the road with a cluttered yard and a worse for wear front porch. It certainly isn’t the place Steve usually finds himself, and he feels weirdly conspicuous as he gets out of his mom’s car. He realizes, he’s never really seen the shitty part of Hawkins too much. A small surge of rare gratefulness rushes through him.Or, when Steve takes on the job of babysitting a young Will Byers, his life changes in some various unpleasant ways.

Summary
"You came to the edge of Time and Night, at the borders of oblivion, to offer me the chance to undo my death and return to life?"
"Before I answer that question, I want to know if you're about to call me an idiot."
"I cannot swear that I am not," Dream says, with the faintest hint of a smile. "Even for you, Hob, this is dangerous. More than you understand. And yet," he adds before Hob can formulate a defence, "I am. Honoured. You should not have come, but..."
"But you're kind of glad I did, aren't you?"
(Hob Gadling attends the funeral of the King of Dreams. But that isn't where the story ends. It's only where it begins.)

Summary
Emori is in love with John. It's something she's known is true in her heart for years, ever since they got to the Ring and she finally had time to grapple with her feelings (John had told her already, when the world was ending and he'd thought he'd lost her. But she hadn't been ready just yet).

Summary
“-Say you’re not worthless and I’ll let you go,” Bellamy grunted again, his grip firm and warm against Murphy’s right arm and the back of his neck. It was the first time someone had touched him so closely in weeks, maybe months, he’d lost count at that point. “Murphy-”
“-Fine! Fine, whatever. I’m not worthless,” Murphy snapped. “Now get the hell off of me.”
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
Murphy thinks he’s worthless and Bellamy refuses to back down without a fight, even if that means shutting up Murphy’s endless insecure arguments with his lips.

Summary
Shaking his head, Jayce took a step closer, “I’m not going to pretend like those weren’t bruises I just saw. Besides, I’ve been meaning to ask you for a while now, but you’ve seemed upset lately. Is there something going on, Vik?”
Damn Jayce and that gentle prying tone, not looking to pity, but to help. Damn those gentle eyes that pleaded for Viktor to just ask for a little help here and there.
“Nothing is going on.” Viktor nearly groaned into his hands, his painkillers were doing little to nothing to dull the growing ache deep in his joints and bones and his resolve was beginning to break.
“Viktor—“
“Just drop it, Jayce!” Viktor suddenly snapped. The room fell silent and Jayce wore the expression of a kicked puppy which he quickly worked to school before offering a small weak smile.
-
When Viktor has to reject an entitled Enforcer's advancements, he leaves quite the bruised ego which turns into a game of retaliation between the two that quickly passes boundaries when the man begins targetting Viktor's disability to his advantage. He can only go so long before he's forced to ask for help.

the powers at play (impossible to wake up) by twixytea
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021), League of Legends
18 Dec 2024

Summary
Minutes passed. Hours, perhaps. The runes of the Hexcore blurred under his gaze, his focus fracturing. His sight blurred slightly, red tinting the edges of his vision. Before he could process it, he coughed violently into his elbow. Warm, wet liquid splattered across his arm. His hand trembled as he pulled it away.
Blood.
Perhaps a mildly worrying amount for a usual day of work.
(Or, extended scene from s01 e05 where Viktor passes out over the Hexcore, from Viktor's POV)
