Summary
"Rae. I wanna talk. Please," his voice almost desperate standing outside her locked bedroom door as she packed for the road.
"Fine." She slowly made her way to the door and let him in.
"Thank you," he mumbled as he stepped into her room, avoiding eye contact. They both took their seats on her bed. It didn't take long for Charlie to start talking again. "I'm sorry for overreacting and shit. I just- I want to make sure you're in a stable, healthy relationship. You'd tell me if something bad was happening with him right?"
She hesitated slightly before nodding rapidly. Luckily for her Charlie didn't catch on. Instead, he just took her hand in his.
"And if something does happen, you can always come stay at my apartment. As long as you don't mind JD and his messiness," he chuckled.
'Oh, right,' she thought. 'Jake DeBrusk. The cute, dorky roommate and best friend of Charlie that I maybe, kinda have a crush on.'

Summary
Peter Griffin was no stranger to screwing around with men. He wasn't nearly as prolific as he was in his younger years but he'd be lying if he said he didn't still get around when he was bored- which was a lot of the time. From three-out-of-ten working class joes in unhappy marriages to high-end escorts he bought out with the family vacation fund- out of all the countless guys he'd taken a liking to on a plastered evening, none of them were ever as cheap and abrasive as Quagmire. None as perfect or unattainable either.
Or
A reimagining of Peter and the guys' first night in Atlantic City from the Jersey Bore ep, in which they don't get drunk enough to blackout and instead: a bigger trainwreck goes down. Enjoy :33

Summary
She’s nothing like them, they said.
She’s nothing like those dangerous and unlikable people. She’s nothing like them in any way. They said it as a statement of relief. As something she should be proud of. They wanted her to be proud of looking like the outsider in her family, because according to her grandparents, she was nothing like her dad, or her brother.
But she was.
She was just like them, even if it didn’t physically show.

Summary
Thomas Potter has never understood the love offered to him, even less so when he tries comparing it to what his peers seem to experience. He only knows his parents love him like he knows that 'Alohomora' unlocks things; it's a fact rather than something he actually feels from his parents.

Summary
As a child, Black Sapphire had heard of the faerie kingdom. Whispers, tall tales, theories. Yet, even with Shadow Milk’s description, he wasn’t prepared for the beauty inside its walls. Pale trees with drooping blossoms, lakes and streams surrounded by all kinds of flora. But the most beautiful of all? The city. Towering buildings with intricate, ornate architecture. It was a sea of pale colors and shimmering jewels. The rich aroma of food flooded through the square, and a warm press of bodies surrounded him in contrast with the cool, misty air.
or,
Black Sapphire infiltrates the Faerie Kingdom instead of Candy Apple.

Summary
When the patterns first appeared on young Rumi's shoulder, Celine did not flinch. She wrapped the child’s arm in silk and said nothing of demons. Only: "We'll get you some longer sleeves."
Raised behind the shrine, trained in the disciplines of blade and voice, Rumi grows into the leader of HUNTRIX—a new generation of demon-hunters defending the Honmoon. Strong. Respectful. Obedient. And always hiding the mark of her true heritage. Rumi believes she can control it. Fix it. Earn her place.
Until the illusion shatters.
When everything falls apart, Rumi returns to the only home she's ever known—her sword in one hand, her shame in the other. She offers Celine the chance to do what hunters were always taught to do: slay demons. Protect the Honmoon. But how can Celine act when her love and duty collide?

Summary
Bruce Wayne is a bad person. He has known it almost his entire life. It’s why bad things have happened to him since he was only five years old, when two nice people ask if they can drive him to an ice cream factory, and Bruce is stupid, and follows them. It’s in every friendship, like the one Bruce and his neighbour used to have, where Bruce never enjoyed doing well, and that was wrong. It’s in every reflection of himself, like the mirrors people would press him up against as they told him he was brave, and not broken, even though he was shattered long before he ever heard those words, and never put back together. It’s in every secret Bruce has ever kept, which are buried so deep within him, that he isn’t even certain he can dig them out, and doesn’t think that he wants to. It’s in every promise— whether gifted or given —because in the end every one of them is nothing but ash.
That’s okay, though, because Bruce can endure. He can endure, because he knows by now that love is enduring things, and waiting for his reward. Yes, Bruce can endure, because that’s what love is.

Summary
You dream sometimes that you are weightless, drifting above your own body. Looking down, you hardly recognize the boy staring back: a collection of scars and expectations stitched together into something that was never meant to be soft.
In your dreams, no one calls your name. In your dreams, you are not a Wayne, not an al Ghul. You are only a boy.
But dreams end. And when you wake, there is always the reminder: you were never raised to be a person. You were raised to be a weapon.
