    Summary

    Maggot, pupae and worm, the trains writhe through the station; thousands of footsteps echoing like an off-key choir, thousands of faces passing by in ivory. Carved and motionless. Oblivious to him, to what he’s done, to who he is becoming.

    As he sits there, salt-licked and still rocking with the tide, a burn in his stomach reminds him that maybe there is still some of him left–something he’s not sure is good or bad.

    Please, mind the gap, man of God; lest you fall too far.

    Summary

    Shadow Milk Cookie remembers.

    They remember the birth of their kind, and the end of witches.

    When lifeforms were made of complex carbon, and nitrogenous structures.

    There's not much to do but reminisce and dream when one is trapped in a silver tree of their own design.

    Shadow Milk Cookie knows this.

    They know this well.

    ____________________________________________________________

    Shadow Milk Cookie was never supposed to exist, just as knowledge was never supposed to be granted sentience.

    Yet, they do. And though they can't see it, they will do their best to prove that they are good.

    And if they find someone with hair like sunshine in a place where fallacy blends with reality?

    Well, then perhaps it is fate.

    Summary

    As though adjusting himself mid-dream, William stretches his left arm, wrist bared, farther out into the room toward this irresistible man. As he reaches, his hand and wrist enter into a warm rectangle of sunlight from the window, and the white scar left by Sherlock’s nails that night is illuminated. Sherlock’s playing falters, and William can hear a faint intake of breath.

    --

    Just a quick experiment to see if I could write an attractive (to me) scene in the injured/passive-Liam vein. And look what happened.

    Summary

    Corrosion (noun): the process of destroying or weakening metal, stone, or other materials gradually.

    “You’d rather do homework than spend more time with me?”

    He checks his watch. “We’ve already spent two hours studying. This was an adequate amount of time for a social interaction.”

    Her fingers twitch. She nearly grabs his tie to yank him out of his seat and scream in his face that she wants him. That she’s slipped her hand between her thighs and thought of him. How can someone so intelligent be so unbearably dumb?

    Summary

    Tim grabbed a glass of non-alcoholic champagne as his parents walked away with a new client. Tim barely watched them leave (they were as unimportant to him as he was to them). Tonight, his target was clear: the Wayne family.

    Bruce Wayne smiled as he proposed a toast to his new adopted daughter: Cassandra Wayne. Beside him, his eldest son Richard (Dick) Grayson looked like he stepped out of a commercial. Everyone knew Dick was a demon, but Tim could see through them all. It wasn't hard, he just had to think a little.

    Tim had a name for that: an outlier. An abnormal, aberrant statistical value that is clearly outside the norm of observations.

    All Waynes were demons. And Tim Drake would find out why.

    ***

    Or, Tim is too smart for his own good. He sits in the corner while Bruce Wayne, also known as Batman, the monster hunter, collects demon children and fights evil.

    Of course, the greatest evil is Tim himself.

    Summary

    The door opens exactly four seconds after Taki knocks, and immediately, he knows two things:

    a) This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful apartment he would ever have the pleasure of stepping foot in. The glimpse he gets over the threshold—clean hardwood floors, walls painted in something that isn't landlord beige, actual art on the walls—makes him momentarily question if he’s about to be scammed. And,

    b) The guy standing in the doorway is not normal. Also very hot.

    Summary

    The board squeaks as he writes, looping numbers in quick, messy scrawls. Kaminari hesitantly recites the problem. Izuku listens, then frowns at the board.

    “No wonder. You’re treating x like it’s a constant.”

    “But it is constant—”

    “No, x is a hostage,” Izuku says, circling it in red. “And y is leverage. You don’t negotiate with hostages, you manipulate the leverage.”

    “…What?”

    A blink. Silence.

    Todoroki, deadpan: “He’s right.”

    Summary

    AKA: That Time I Fell Into The Critically Acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV That Has a Free Trial, and Includes the Entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the Award-Winning Heavensward Expansion Up to Level 60 with no Restrictions on Playtime-

    /micon "resurrection"
    /ac "swiftcast" [me]
    /ac "resurrection" [t]
    /p [t] why are you dead? Stop it!

    Meet Yeul. Yeul plays video games in her spare time. She likes being an endgame raid healer. And that's fine. What's not fine is when said video game turns out to be real life.

    Yeul is pretty sure that knowing the raid mechanics is not going to get her very far in Eorzea. There's no macros to real life.

    Here's to hoping that Hydaelyn didn't choose the wrong Warrior of Darkness.

    Summary

    “Of course I want to stay with you, I missed you, you know? We haven't spent so much time apart since…” Harry’s smile dims a bit. “Well, we've never done it.”
    There's a hint of a question there, a why. Why did you stop reaching out, why did we stop talking for months?
    Louis doesn’t answer. He can’t say, ‘I was hoping that by ignoring you for months I would have fallen out of love with you, and it didn’t even happen’ on their first day of vacation, can he?
    *
    Spending two weeks in his uncle's old house by Lee Bay beach is not Louis' ideal holiday, but sadly is the only one he can afford this summer. Spending those alone with Harry, his best friend who he has spent the last five years in love with, may make everything a little better, though. Away from everyday reality, alone somewhere that makes you forget your past and gloss over your future, maybe it's time for two friends to finally explore what they haven't said (but felt) for years.

    Summary

    You can say ‘I love you’ in four seconds. Easily, if you’ve enough practice.

    Ekko could say it five times. He knew this from experience. He’d timed it, the words tripping over each other to fall off his tongue aboard Jinx’s ship—if it could be called that—as it made it’s maiden and final voyage towards the battlefield.

    Jinx could say it six.

    He knew this from experience too.

    (A multi-POV look at time, love, hate, and how much can—or cannot—change in four seconds.)
