Summary
He carries him in, just like when he was a baby, but now Matty’s nine years old and on pain pills to keep him from feeling the agony that’d kept them both awake at first. He’s silent where he lay against Jack’s shoulder, clinging to his neck, his little legs wrapped around Jack’s waist. One arm is wrapped up in a cast from landing so hard on the pavement that it fractured, and one of his toes is splinted to another. Jesus. Jack's baby with a cast and a splint.
Not to mention the blindness.
Jack brings Matty home.

Summary
Lina sets her backpack—blue with polka dots, a gift from the local tailor Mrs. Hendricks—onto the kitchen counter. "Is he awake?"
"Last I checked, but he may be resting now," Granny says. She gathers some of the soup into her spoon and takes a gentle sip. "Hm. Needs a little more seasoning, I think. Why don't you go say hi, and I'll come by with the soup when it's ready?"
"Sounds good!" Lina says, running toward the guest bedroom in her socks, skidding to a halt as she turns the corner.
She'd been planning on saying hi, anyways. She always says hi. She wouldn't want him to get lonely.

or: taking care of eriks is hard work, but lina wouldn't trade it for a thing.

Summary
Dad is quiet for a moment, stroking her hair. Then, with a surge of his usual flamboyant excitement: “At what time is your date?”
Kayla blinks. She pulls back a little to look at Dad. He’s still a little blurry from the tears, but she feels much calmer now. “He’s picking me up at six. …Why?”
Dad’s eyes—cobalt blue—sparkle. Literally. “We’re going to dress you to the nines.”
(or: apollo loves his daughter. he also loves fashion. even better is when the two intersect.)

Summary
“You’re not a bird, Sunday,” Mr Yang breaks the silence. Sunday’s eyes flick to him just in time to see him shake his head, his brow furrowed. “Nor are you flightless.”
“Aren’t I?” he retorts. It’s too late to back out now that he’s started the conversation, now that he’s laying himself bare in front of the one person he respects most on this train. “What is it that differentiates me from an injured dove, Mr. Yang? My body might be fine, but to say the same of my mind –”
“You’re not an injured dove either,” Mr. Yang cuts in, firm. Final. His gaze lifts from the tea, eyes blazing with something Sunday can’t name. “And even if you were, you would’ve gotten better with help.”
Or: Five times Sunday floundered while trying to find his place on the Astral Express and the one time he felt right at home.

Summary
One year after Shroud’s defeat, the Phoenix Program is officially recognized as a success. With a new opening at DTLA following the death of one of their downtown dispatchers, the Director of the SDN decides Torrance’s ‘miracle worker’, Robert Robertson III, is a perfect fit for the job. He and his team-- the Z-Team-- finally have a chance to move up in the world. New costumes, new branding, maybe even merch... how could he say no?
Sure, a few of the SDN's top "golden boys" have gone violently rogue and the SDN is weirdly desperate to make it Robert's problem, but... who's got time to worry about that when the team's making their (second) debut?
[A continuation of Dispatch wherein Robert and the Z-Team get new fits, navigate corporate hell, and fend off a threat that could unwind society as they know it. Also, Beef is there.]
(If you didn't get enough Dispatch while playing Dispatch, I wrote this for you! Includes illustrations.)Bookmarked by tissuebocks

Summary
Malevola has him pinned against her side, hanging onto him like she’s afraid he’s going to get swallowed by the drunken crowd. Sonar is on her other side, ears glowing faintly with the strobe lights as he knocks into her repeatedly.
Visi swings by, wipes the corner of his mouth, then disappears. Hot hands find his head a second- seconds? minutes? later. The flash of orange and black coming closer has him swaying dangerously to catch whatever Flambae starts to mutter against his ear. Something about shitty music?
Coop saunters past with a glint of metal, prying the empty tumbler from his hand. Punch Up appears with a full one to replace it. It makes his face flush when he takes a swig.
“Yo! Anyone seen Golem?” Prism pushes through. She’s got Waterboy by the wrist; She might be about to use him to purposely slip people and get them out of her way. Phenomaman is floating after them.
Visi comes back again, this time with Blazer holding on for dear life. They’re hugging like it’s the end of the world instead of just being drunk in a shitty bar. Blazer smiles, dimples showing. His vision swims.
The whiskey burns. So does the ache in his chest.

Summary
Adrien has mastered the art of the smile. Even while his mind is on poor behavior, when he's caught beneath a barrage of unkind thoughts to himself, he's still able to keep his smile. Attend his friends' parties, maintain small talk, get through the day — and hopefully his friends won't realize how messed up he really is.
Everyone is out-pacing him. While he's barely getting out of bed in the morning, his friends are making waves, changing lives, getting engaged.
He can't even get his girlfriend to text him back.
So, sure. Maybe he's not in the best head space right now — but 'suicidal'? Ladybug's certainly just reading too deeply into things. But if her concern for Chat Noir's mental state is enough to get her reaching out, well, he won't turn down the opportunity to chat with a friend. Besides, Ladybug seems to be having a rough go of it, too. Maybe they can help each other out.
(a Ladynoir hurt/comfort texting fic, with established Adrienette)
