Summary
“Are you guys okay?” Nicky asks one day, completely out of the blue. He looks surprised at himself, eyes round and lips parted like the question just burst out of him.
“Um. What?” Neil says.
“You and Andrew.”
Nicky stares at him with palpable concern, like that answer is actually supposed to mean anything.
“We’re… fine?”
___
Being close means something different, to them, than it does to most people. It never feels like a loss.
(or: 5 times Neil and Andrew didn't touch + 1 time they did)

Bookmarker's Notes
Steve is stubborn, thick-headed and has a saving-people-thing, so that's A+ characterization. Tiny!angry!Steve is delightful and dear to my heart, especially when socialist.
(This is painful, tho. So painful. God, the angst, it burns.) -

Summary
“Do you think he meant it?” Harry asked, once the professor was gone, tracing the gilded lettering of his own name on the letter he'd given Harry. “We're really Wizards?”
“It makes sense,” Tom shrugged, though he could hardly look away from his own letter, the proof of what he'd always known, in some pit inside himself, that he was something different from everyone around him, that he was something better. He'd believed the first priest that had told him the same thing, albeit it opposite in nature, that he was a devil. It had made sense at the time, just as this answer did. Anything that offered an explanation for his being set so apart.
“I'm glad it's both of us,” Harry said, green eyes somehow greener, the natural brightness in him turning incandescent. Tom had thought he'd known the answer for that before too, dull hours at Sunday service spent gazing at the sun illuminating stained glass portraits, thinking: angel. “I'm glad we're going together.”
“We'll always go together,” Tom said, knowing it as fact, unable to imagine anything different. Wherever he went, Harry was sure to follow. It'd been that way forever. It would surely always be that way.

Bookmarker's Notes
"The last sunshine fading from the salvage yard, the junk heaps crouching in the shadows, sleeping the sleep of those at the end of the line. Stars overhead, cold and broken, little stabs of light and Sam thought, Superluminal, gotta match their speed."

Summary
The man who used to be Bucky Barnes lined up his shot. His finger twitched, only once, very precisely.
Help me, the bullet sang.
Ninety-eight floors below him, the bullet glanced off a vibranium shield with a musical ping.
And Steve Rogers looked up.
(Now with Chinese translation here!)

Summary
She could be so small, he marveled. She was a cat, sleek and windy. A mouse, whiskers perfect and round ears quivering. A moth, fragile and dusty. A caterpillar, wriggly and colorful. She almost disappears.
“Alex,” his mother chided, her voice low and hand tight around his upper arm, but if she wasn't looking at him it would've taken him a moment to know who she meant. She was scared, she’s terrified, her pupils are dots, even though they were just in the second last row of a near-empty greyhound bus. “Stop playing. Are you listening to me?”
In his hand, Marie turned into a pill bug and curled up tight. He closed his hand around her, making her disappear.
