Summary
"The mask Hannibal had made for himself, the one that created genial smiles or looks of innocent interest when the time called for them, descended. The mask dripped, slow and warm, around his throat and draped itself over his vocal chords so that when he answered the phone no sharp edge of anger was detectable.
'Hello, Jack,' he said. 'What can I help you with?'”

Summary
It’s not like the others exactly said anything in particular and Peter would be the first to admit that he was on a very steep learning curve when it came to strategy and tactics. The others were so used to it that it was practically like breathing for them. But the little aside comments and the fact that sometimes the others even laughed when he messed up had him pushing himself harder than he ever had which apparently wasn’t enough because the harder he pushed the more epic fails he experienced and---
Peter stopped because it was only making the burn behind his eyes sting more and the longing to call May stronger.

Shiro fiddles with the hem of his shirt, considering.
"It may not have actually been me, hurting him, but it was my body, my sword, that burned that scar into his cheek," Shiro says in a voice choked with emotion.
He swallows roughly.
"Every time I look at that scar on the face of someone so important to me, I think about how the Galra emptied me out, just.. used me over and over for whatever their whim was that day.
“In the past, on earth, keys to lock and unlock doors were a physical item. Some keys were filed down, cut until they could be used to open many different locks.
"That's what they did to me. They cut me down until I could be used as they wished." -

Chapter 2:
Rocket glanced up and was surprised to find Quill sitting up in bed, a single palm covering his face and his other, white-knuckled, fist grasping onto the sheets. “...kay?” An afflicted whine came out of the man, one Rocket had never heard before in his entire life. “Quill?”
Pete dropped his shaky palm and turned to face him. “Rocket?” He called out. Rocket stared at the human with wide eyes, unable to miss the swirling purple and blues in his eye sockets. “What’s—?” Quill’s voice quavered with horror.
“I—What’s happening to me—?”

Onnch 8
Ch 3 Your wings are gone! Your back is nothing but scars! Who did that to you?! WHO GROUNDED YOU ?!?!”
Iruma bolted.
Comments
Seeing as Iruma's parents were the type to run off for fun/get-rich-quick-schemes, I'm hypothesizing that they typically lived in lower income neighborhoods. As such, the neighborhood would have been rife with the common problems that arise from such neighborhoods, such as a high crime rate, gang violence, drug problems, etc. As such, they hypothetically lived in areas where you keep your mouth shut and your head down, so to say.
Additionally, his parents seem to be highly transient, so they probably "traveled a lot for work", or so would be an excuse that the teachers and students would have used for Iruma.
Cb 6 comments pg 1
Uff I love the fic where iruma's past is stirred, the boy in the manga shows that he has a clear eating disorder because of everything he eats (although in the manga and anime they are treating him in a comical way) that kind of thing In people who had a bad diet for a long period it is normal, I love when they treat these issues more seriously (although it does not mean that I do not appreciate how they take it in the manga I would like a little more seriousness and introduction in that part of the story and you do just that GOD I LOVE YOU FOR THAT !!!)
_________________________________________________________
We know that canonically a demon can hold their wings in a way that shows respect or deference to another demon, as seen when Sabnock apologizes to Buer, and when Asmodeus attends a ball. It is also mentioned in the manga that demons can decorate their tails, wings, and horns in order to make a statement or to look more desirable. I imagine courtship rituals would involve some form of decoration, as well as a way of showing how strong and handsome a demon is. Much like the mating rituals of tropical birds. -

Summary
The Jedi were never meant to fight in war. They still aren’t meant to. But that’s what they’re doing, and that results in almost every single Jedi reaching for the Dark Side unintentionally at one point or another, results in every Jedi Falling, losing the parts of themselves that are kind and good.
Except for the vod’e noticed when they started to Fall, and decided that they weren’t going to let it happen—and it turns out, you can’t really Fall if you have people to Catch you. Force-null or not, the vod’e figure out how to pull their Jetiise back into the Light, and do so as many times as is needed.
General Kenobi is one of the last to start Falling for their first time.

Summary
“Iruma,” Kalego said firmly as he grabbed the boy’s wrist to stop him from running any further, “I need you to answer me truthfully. You’re not in any trouble, so take a deep breath,” His voice was uncharacteristically gentle as he slowly guided Iruma back to the couch. Once Iruma was sat, Kalego crouched down and gently held his hands, “Iruma,” He said quietly, “Who grounded you?”
The teenager blinked in surprise at Kalego’s words. Grounded? He looked around at all the other teachers, expecting them all to be staring at him like he was a buffet waiting to be eaten. Instead, they all stared back at him with pity and horror written all over his face. He slowly turned his attention back to Kalego, who was patiently waiting for an answer.
“Excuse me,” Iruma whispered, his heart still hammering in his chest, “W-what…What is grounding?” He asked.

What if Iruma is removed from Sullivan's custody and put in the care of his grumpy homeroom teacher and the teacher who supposedly experiments on students? How will Iruma continue to hide the fact that he's human while also making his teachers understand he wasn't tortured?

Summary
Demons had wings.
The Netherworld was a cruel, harsh, dangerous environment by nature and was therefore a hazardous place to live so demons developed wings to take flight over time so they could adapt to their unsafe home world. So every demon had a pair of wings, big or small, they still had wings on their backs.
Correction, demons were SUPPOSED to have wings.
There was a taboo torture method, one that not even the traitor of the thirteen crowns dared to even utter a word about. Grounding, where the wings of a demon would be removed.
Iruma doesn't have wings, just scars.

Summary
Despite what life, or rather his parents, threw at him, Iruma always pushed forwards. He would not give up, for giving up would get him killed. Yes, Iruma was accustomed to fending for himself by himself and this was a fact that would never change.
That was, until his parents decided to try out the art of demon summoning.
Iruma was raised on his own self-dependency. He never had anyone else to rely on, and was consequently forced to learn that he could never trust anybody around him.
However, once Iruma is transported into the Netherworld he starts to realize that the people around him, despite their demonic nature, are the most trustworthy people he has ever met.
It would have been helpful for Iruma to realize this before the evidence of his poor childhood was put on display for all the adults around him to see.

Summary
Iruma really wished he had just listened to Azz and hadn't entered that classroom, but how was he to know that it could have potentially life-ending consequences?
After Balam drags him to the teacher's lounge in a total panic about him not having any wings, Iruma is completely convinced he's done for. Instead, he has teachers panicking and out for blood at seeing the damage done to his back. It's not like it's that big of a deal, it's just some scars. Then he finds out about grounding and suddenly there is something about his grandpa not filing the permits to buy him and he's stuck living with the teachers?! More specifically, mostly Balam and Kalego until they can figure out who he's going to be adopted by.
Then, to make Iruma's life even more hectic, he finds out there are all these weird dynamics and behaviors that come with them, and he's somehow one of these dynamics and the only omega in an entire class of mostly Alphas?! Yeah, Iruma really wishes he had Just listened.
But on a nicer note, he is pretty sure Kalego doesn't hate him and is just a grouchy crypted.

Summary
It'd been such a nice morning.
The weather was lovely, Iruma managed to follow along somewhat alright during classes, and his friends were all pumped up for summer vacation! The only problem was studying, and it was such a universal, normal, problem that- despite the consequences of failing- Iruma welcomed it with open arms.
But of course, all good things come to an end. Iruma had learned that early in his life- and he felt disappointed in himself for momentarily forgetting it.
'It had been such a nice morning' Iruma thought to himself as the uniform covering his back was pulled up, exposing his humanity for all of the Babyls' teachers to see.
