Dean can't believe that Cas betrayed them. Cas was always the good one, the pure one. That was who Dean required him to be. Maybe it was asking a lot, even of an angel, but Dean needed him to be... Cas. Not this cold, uncaring soldier that was willing to do anything to win. He just hoped he could get through to the old Cas, /his/ Cas.

Summary
Keith frowned. He pursed his lips, not daring to look over at Lance.
“Why do you care so much? Why do you remember all of this stuff?” Keith asked, fingers curling as he lowered his brow. A bubble of hope swelled in his chest in anticipation of Lance’s potential way of answering the question, though he chastised himself for it mentally. (There’s literally no way, Keith chanted, he hates you.)
Keith counted fifteen seconds of silence and two of Lance’s heavy breaths.
“Because you’re all I’ve ever been compared to,” Lance admitted. “People hand out expectations like candy. I’ve got tons of ‘em, but they just so happen to come in the form of- surprise- you.”

Summary
T’Challa was used to his own culture, so the first time he had left his country he had been shocked with how people treated him. In Wakanda subs were on equal footing with Doms but in Britain, the first place he ever travelled to and spent a lot of time in, subs were thought of as lesser. He had expected to be obedient to people that were, at least by his culture’s standards, abusive and he was to take it without question. But he had left Britain and went back home and for the most part he forgot about how different the Western world was from his own and instead fell back into his old routines.
Then his father died and he was forced to be a diplomat and now he found himself in America with a reputation.
*
Tony has always done things weird and his partners, when he chose to take them, were no exception. There was nothing he hated more than a sub that didn’t know how to say no, they just drove him nuts.

Bookmarker's Notes
Jon takes a breath to centre himself. “Yes, I suppose. Is this going somewhere, Madeleine, or may I go home now?”
“What did you think when yous first saw him?”
“I don’t remember. Probably something like, ‘it’s a good thing this person looks like he’s actually interested in doing this job’.”
“Hm.” Madeleine kicks herself off her seat, slings her backpack over one shoulder and makes her way out the classroom. “Alright.”
“Madeleine,” Jon says as she goes, halting her in the door. “I don’t want to have to do this again.”
“Yep.”
“I expect better from you.”
“Sure.”
“Right,” Jon says, defeated, and she leaves.

"Kandros listens and provides pertinent input, straightforward, no politics involved. He even laughs at her jokes, something she’s sure is not in the job description, a warm two-toned chuckle that seems to vibrate out of him. Sara appreciates it; friends are not easy to come by in the Nexus leadership."

Bookmarker's Notes
Yoongi got into the passenger’s seat of Hoseok’s car. It was nice and clean, and it smelled like peppermint. Of course, it wasn’t as good of a peppermint as Yoongi’s scent was since it was the kind of muted peppermint that came from the little things that hung from the mirror of the car, but it wasn’t bad enough to make Yoongi want to throw it out.
“Sorry. It must be awkward to smell your scent on a car freshener,” Hoseok mumbled. He grabbed the little tree and threw it into the glove box, rubbing the smell off of his hands. “Is it awkward chewing peppermint flavored gum? Or eating peppermint candy canes on Christmas?”
Yoongi buckled in his seatbelt and laughed to himself, countering, “Is it awkward to drink coffee every morning?”

Summary
Hunter had calmly awaited Ms. Noceda’s instruction. It made sense that she hadn’t made any demands the first few days, it was clear that they were all in shock and needed time to process before any of them could be trusted to successfully carry out any task, no matter how simple. But this was day five, and though none of them were doing particularly well, they were coming back around. The thousand-yard stares and silence that had cloaked them those first awful nights had fallen away into something less shell-shocked. And yet, Ms. Noceda had not told any of them what they were supposed to be doing.
Because they had to have been expected to be doing something. Hunter was not naive. Ms. Noceda’s assurance that they were all welcome in her home was a kind gesture, but kindness was not given without being earned.
Or
Hunter thinks he has to work to earn Camila's kindness. Too bad he can't figure out what she wants.Series
