    Summary

    “Hi,” breathes Shadowheart, her voice low and weak. It is all she offers, as she looks steadfast ahead, refusing Lake’s gaze.

    There is a vicious and urgent thought burning like white-hot metal to exploit, to hurt her while she is vulnerable. Fool, it whispers as it tickles through her veins, spreads through her bloodstream like a poison. It spawns images of Shadowheart’s pretty pink lips twisted into an expression of anguish, her eyes heavy and wide with panic and pain. It entices her with the promise of pleasure, the rush from the absolute feeling of control and power over another – a second of ecstasy, of peace, as the life would leave Shadowheart’s eyes.

    The terrible urge is paired with an unpleasant, sticky feeling of shame, and Lake hurries to tear her eyes away from Shadowheart.

    “Hi,” says Lake, letting their steps fall in tandem in silence, too afraid to trust her mind to say anything else.

    .

    Or,
    a brief excerpt from the party's visit to the mind flayer colony beneath Moonrise (and its lovely implications for the Dark Urge's lore).

    Summary

    Luo Binghe despairs of ever finding a day where his Shizun will not throw himself in front of danger for other people’s protection. It is easily his worst trait–the way that he treats himself and his body as a shield for others, ranking himself cavalierly as far more disposable than Binghe wishes he would. When he was younger, it caused Binghe to spend many nights filled alternatingly with worry and despair for his Shizun, so willing to throw himself into harm’s way. Time has softened the despair into more of a gentle exasperation, and Binghe has simply resolved to do his best to prevent Shen Qingqiu from ever needing to throw himself in the way of danger for him.

    Or, all the ways in which Luo Binghe loves his husband

    Summary

    There is a fortress inside of Bucky, and its guardian doesn’t want him to see what’s hidden inside. When life’s storm forces him to examine the hidden memories, Bucky discovers a past and a past self that haunts him.

    This is a slow-burn journey to self-reclamation and healing against the backdrop of a struggling relationship with Steve as they both reckon with the emotional fallout of trauma and internalized violence. Therapy is no quick fix, and love is no cure—can there be hope when nothing can “solve” so much brokenness?

    (Yeah. Like, yes. Not trying to be all spoiler-y, but very much yes. I would not be writing this if I wasn’t going to deliver a hopeful ending. You can call me Jimmy John’s, boys, because I fucking deliver.)

    Summary

    “That’s literally what the flyer says," Buck points out. "First responders and their partners.”

    He gestures between himself and the loft, where Eddie’s upstairs doing something productive and very unaware of what Buck is about to drag him into, and then shrugs like this is all very self-explanatory.

    “We’re partners.”

    “Yeah, yeah. Of course!" Ravi says, and then slaps Buck on the back with a little too much enthusiasm. “Definitely sounds like you two could benefit from it.”


    Or, Buck misreads a flyer, signs up for couples therapy, and accidentally starts a relationship he didn’t know he was already in.

    Summary

    “I wasn’t going to jump, for fuck’s sake,” he repeats.

    “You looked scared, John.”

    “Well, duh!” He gestures all around them. “Any person with common sense would. We’re on, like, the hundred-something-ith floor, of course I’d be scared as shit to fall from this high up.”

    Bob glances up at him, throat clicking. “You can be scared and still want to jump.”

    ***

    John’s not frothing at the mouth to hurt himself. But after seeing his shame room back in the vault, he can’t help but chase that feeling. That high of living through one of his worst moments.

    (Bob just happens to also be there.)

    Summary

    “I like it when you take care of me,” Yeonjun mumbles softly, words muffled with sleep. “It’s my favourite thing in the world.”

    It’s just like Yeonjun to say things like that—skirting silly and sentimental in one breath like it’s nothing, as if it doesn’t flow into Soobin’s veins and shake his soul.

    “I like it when you let me,” Soobin says, speaking to the darkness above them. How intimate it is—he realises—to be in Yeonjun’s bed after midnight in the dark, surrounded by lingering traces of his cologne, to sit in his bed as a welcome visitor and touch his hair in a way so many others have only fantasised about. It’s almost too much to have felt so close to Yeonjun all day, to have watched him fall apart and helped piece him back together, and Soobin wonders if these were all lines he shouldn’t have crossed because now everything between them feels different and though Soobin can’t pinpoint why, he can pinpoint exactly when.

    Now.

     

    Or: When Yeonjun's first relationship comes to a mysterious end, Soobin revisits feelings he thought he buried a long, long time ago.

    Summary

    The Championship Game of 1985 is only a quarter of the way done, and Eddie is already certain that it’s not going to be a Hawkins victory.

    It kinda blows, honestly. It’s boring, like correctly guessing the ending of a movie five minutes in.

    And yeah, sue him, maybe high school basketball is a legitimate source of entertainment—he can admit that in the safety of his own head, at least.

    Take, for example, the first game of the ‘83 tournament, when a timeout was called with only seconds remaining: the Tigers’ last hope of winning was to miraculously sink a shot with the fraction of time they had left. The tension in the air was palpable as the team formed a huddle—Eddie couldn’t hear anything apart from students chanting, but he stood on his tiptoes and found a gap in the crowd, just in time to read Steve Harrington’s lips: “I’ll make it.”

    Summary

    Bruce grabs Dick's face with both his hands, forcing them to meet eyes, "Dick. Talk to me. Where are you hurt? You've lost so much blood — you're —"

    "Not mine," Dick whispers, furrowing his brows like he's confused as to why Bruce is here, "Not my blood."

    "Dick. Whose blood is this?" Bruce asks clearly, back to locking eyes with Dick, trying to bring him back to the bathroom covered in glass and not wherever he's lost himself in, "Chum, please. Dick whose blood is this?"

    (Dick kills the Joker. Bruce hides three bodies.)
