Summary
“I mean, do you ever stop and think about who your anonymous friend might be?" Tighnari says. "Or like, maybe it’s someone you already know or some random guy in one of your classes.”
“No,” Kaveh says, thinking. “With my luck, if I did know him already, then he would probably be the worst person I know. Someone like Al-Haitham.” The thought is so absurd that he stops and laughs. “But that would be fucking awful.”
In Kaveh's humble opinion, the title for The Worst Guy In The World is tied between four people: the asshole in his Tuesday eight am, the employee behind the library email account, the guy writing the university's advice column, and the student that the professor he assists always complains about.
It would only be too convenient if they were all the same person. (They are.)

Summary
Lucy's laughing at him, the mirth making her glow in a way he's never noticed before, and he's suddenly entranced by everything about her.
"I've got you," she chuckles, fond and beautiful. He meets her eyes, feels the warmth spilling from those deep brown irises, and doesn't doubt her for even a second. "I've got you."
Who said love couldn't be easy?

Summary
Hinata tilts his head ever so slightly, eyes sparking. “Bluffing’s a game, Kageyama, you just need to learn how to play it right.”
Kageyama Tobio is a successful defence attorney with everything he needs: a growing career, a steady queue of clients, and a reputation that's going to open doors for him. It's all going well - on paper.
Until one day, when a teenage girl arrives at his office begging him to get her brother off the hook for a murder charge, and Kageyama finds himself defending Hinata Shouyou: a poker player with a reputation for being undefeated.
It should be just another case. But Kageyama, realising that his life in law is perhaps too lonely, too stale, keeps this one client in his life. Because something about Hinata is addicting, and maybe this is just the gamble that he needs to take.
(A lawyer AU; based on the events in the Ace Attorney series.)

Summary
It isn’t until high school that the specialists give Tooru an official diagnosis. The biomagnetic field around his heart is too strong, far stronger than should be humanly possible, and that’s why it feels like an electric shock when you touch him. If you get within ten feet of Tooru, you can feel all his emotions, stark and obvious as if his ribcage is wide open, exposing his heart.
“You should have known, Iwa-chan,” Tooru says, lying on his back in the middle of Hajime’s bed, tossing a pillow in the air and catching it. “Everyone can see how magnetic I am. It’s all in my charm. You wouldn’t know about that.”
“This is a medical problem, assface,” says Hajime. “It means something’s wrong with you.”
or: even though hajime can sense tooru's emotions just by standing next to him, it still takes them a few years to figure things out.

Summary
Bruce doesn’t like to credit one thing for saving his life, but if he did, it would be Haly’s Circus that Friday night in September, just as summer was beginning to die.
(He'll always be a sucker for kids with sad eyes, no parents, and more fight than the world knows what to do with.)
Or: in a universe where superheroes don't exist, Bruce Wayne finds his family.
