Summary
“You think I stayed because I’m noble?” Jayce’s laugh is soft but brittle, his voice trembling with emotion he can’t quite contain. “I stayed because I’m selfish. Because when that rune spat us out, all I could think was—not again. I won’t lose you again.”
Viktor’s breath hitches at the confession, the rawness in Jayce’s voice cutting through his defenses. He looks away, shoulders trembling as if under a weight he can’t hold much longer.
Every brush of Jayce’s fingertips feels like a brand—a reminder of all he doesn’t deserve. You should hate me, Viktor thinks, you should have let me jump into that ravine.
Jayce’s thumb grazes the shell of Viktor’s ear, a gesture so tender it aches.
After the war, Viktor doesn't beg for forgiveness. He begs to be forgotten, to fade into the void where his mistakes can't haunt anyone else.
But Jayce can't let him go.

Summary
Autumn of the year 2008, Ida Kos, a 26-year-old migrant from Poland, finds herself admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Prague after experiencing a mental health crisis. The head doctor of the institution, Fyodor Dostoevsky, who happens to be an immigrant himself, begins regular sessions with the new patient, aiming to untangle the messy strands of past and present.
As their meetings progress, they both unravel in more ways than one, seeing each other and themselves as if through the looking glass. Discussions of trauma, grief, religion and identity become more personal than both Ida and Fyodor expected. Affection grows, probable depths are explored, new windows open. Both the patient and the doctor confront the lonely holes that hold their entire beings, realizing there's more than just staring out into the shifting darkness.
Even though Ida made peace with the upcoming winter being empty and never-ending, with time she starts hoping for the embrace of spring. And though doctor Dostoevsky is accustomed to the presence of cold and silence, he starts hoping for the new turbulent and empathetic presence to fill that quiet space with the strange kind of loving he's never knew before.

An edgier version of Naruto,
Sasuke has worse coping skills and drags everyone along with him. His bad habits are often enabled by everyone around him, trough this drug and self destructive path he creates unusual bonds.
Naruto is often there to be just as bad and Kakashi is weary of how much responsibility he should shoulder while balancing his own instability.
At the end of the day drowning isn't so bad, not if everyone is drowning too and you enjoy the burning sensation of water filling up your lungs.

Summary
A handful of years after Alastor’s sudden "sabbatical", Rosie finds her once friend-of-a-friend, Vox, on her doorstep with the proposal of establishing a proper relationship of their own after all this time. Is it a “replacement” or placeholder for what they both once shared in Alastor? Who’s to say. However, as time goes on, and the two grow closer, it’s safe to assume what forms between them is an entirely new “monster” of its own.
The dove is dead, and it’s what’s for dinner. But in context its just freshly killed and might still be twitching slightly. ***PLEASE READ ALL TAGS!!!*** As well as let me know if there is anything I missed and need to add as a content warning.

Summary
The day Lady Nereis came to Ithaca, the sea wore its gentlest face.
Polites watched more than he looked. He watched the way Nereis’s gaze slid to the palace guard and lingered—no, not to the guard. To him. He watched the tilt of her head, the dart of calculation, the faint intrigue when her eyes found the man in plain bronze with the laurel brooch at his shoulder.
She was a hunter too, then.
After, Polites moved through the first days of Nereis’s visit as he moved through everything: with care, with attention, with habit. He made sure he was never alone in a room with her without an open door and servants moving through. He set Eurylochus at the far end of any space where he stood guard. He made certain Nereis’s maid, a sharp-eyed woman called Erato, was always near.
And yet—no matter how he placed the pieces—the board kept changing.
Or, when a delegate from Zakinthos comes to Ithaca, Polites finds himself in the middle of a hunt. Except, he is the prey, and Lady Nereis will not take 'no' for an answer.

Summary
Vance Hopper is your average 16-year-old unless you factor in his instinctual need for violence. He doesn’t always mean to be a bad guy, he’s just pretty sure that his dad beat the asshole into him and he hasn't tried hard to change it. He likes how fighting feels, it’s familiar. He likes to push people away, and if it takes fear to make it happen he’s fine with that. So why the hell does this goth chick treat him like he’s an actual person? He doesn’t know why she looks at him like she understands.
Rain Moore is tired of this new town. There’s no existing quietly in this suburban nightmare. So yeah, she hates this town but she doesn’t hate Vance Hopper. She knows that she should hate him for the rage he slings around like a weapon, but he is distinctly different from her father. So she doesn’t hate him, she pities him. She appreciates the beauty in his violence, the desperation in the way that every breath he takes is a struggle to survive. Every punch is a victory over a foe who isn’t even there. She knows.
