Summary
Every hair, nerve, cell, was on fire. There was nothing else in Bakugou’s world, only pain. Only the sizzling of his blood as it boiled in his veins. He could faintly hear himself screaming as the electricity arced up his body, over his chest.
The taste of iron welled in his mouth, and for a moment, he could see Midoriya lunge out of the darkness towards the teenager and place an animalistic punch to the back of his head.
As the shadows dissipated and he fell to the ground, green eyes were on his mind. All he never got to say, the things they would never be able to do together, as the life he had planned before him vanished in a flash of lightening.
He only regretted not telling him how he felt. How he truly felt, after all these years of waiting and dancing around each other. Orbiting a star he could not get closer to or he would burn alive.
Yet here he was, doing just that as the fire in his nerves flickered out.
"I’m so, so sorry… Izuku…"

Summary
The out of place sound of a camera shutter broke the silence, drawing Shouta’s attention.
He swung his head around to the other side- anything else would’ve dislodged Hizashi, which was as illegal as waking up Eri would’ve been- to see Henry with his phone. The damn thing had figured out how to operate the camera and was taking photos not only of the child, but of the two of them inextricably tangled around each other in the chair.
What a fucking traitor.
“I didn’t give you sentience so you could betray me like this.” He muttered quietly. Henry remained unrepentant, pointedly taking another photo of Shouta’s tired, displeased glare. They both knew Shouta hadn’t purposefully given Henry sentience at all, it was just a byproduct of how much time the scarf had spent about magic. The ancient sorcerer was honestly terrified of the implications that had for magic in general, although it potentially shed a bit of light on just how Alaric managed to develop quirks. “You’d tell me if you reached actual person-hood, right?”
The scarf just sat the phone back on the arm of the lazy boy and patted Shouta’s hand with one of it’s tasseled ends.

Summary
MacCallum Ranch is nestled into the mountains on the Colorado-Wyoming border. After two decades of dedicated work, first as ranch hands and now as a foreman and a farrier, Roan and Parker have decided to retire. The MacCallums are looking to employ some capable, disciplined, able-bodied men to set up home in their ranch house, to help them run their family business, so that they can settle into a slower lifestyle after they almost lost each other.
This is a collaborative cowboy and ranch universe between haunter_ielle and canniclown!!!! We started writing this because we watched Brokeback Mountain and wanted a universe where the two ranchers that fell in love when they met herding sheep in the mountains never separated again. We love cowboys and we love when they kiss on the mouth!!!!

Summary
“Buck,” his son says with that sassy tone that Eddie knows to be scared of, “did you know that my dad used to do Ballroom Dancing when he was my age?”
Oh my God. How did he find that out?!
“HE WHAT? Eddie, you did what?!” His best friend asks as if this is the most incredible piece of information that he has ever received.
“Yeah! Grandma told me so one day.” He said, like the smirky little kid he is.
That’s it. Eddie’s gonna kill his mother.
“Really?” Buck asks, still amused, and Eddie can tell that’s gonna be a long conversation.

In a strange coffee shop beyond time, Morpheus meets Paige, a lost and lonely Dreamer troubled by her forgotten past. Together, they encounter familiar faces and embark on a heartfelt journey of friendship, healing, and self-discovery.
Contains spoilers for the Sandman series finale ("A Tale of Graceful Ends") and the show in general. Which absolutely wrecked me emotionally. So. You know. I had to write a nice little epilogue for it.

Summary
Avery’s laugh is the first thing Morpheus hears on a Monday morning in early September. Just as he wakes, the hyperactive culprit jumps up on the bed and onto his chest, winding him in the process. Turning his head to the side, he notices Hob has already left the bed; likely, he is in the kitchen making breakfast. His heart flutters a little as he realises he was probably left to sleep longer, as he had been in a fair amount of pain last night and had not slept easily.
Set two years on from 'what was before is left behind', Morpheus is still adjusting to human life, Hob Gadling is being stubborn and refuses to give in, Avery is still being a ray of sunshine- but something is still not quite right.

Summary
Tomorrow, Soap would force himself to be awake at six. He’d be ready, sitting on the stoop, a cup of coffee in one hand and his rifle in the other.
And when he shot Ghost dead, he’d plant thistle in the viscera he left behind.
Ten years after surviving a gunshot wound to the head, Soap is struggling with the reality of retirement and the abrupt, seemingly unprompted reappearance of his ex-lover and former lieutenant. But healing isn't linear, and sometimes things need to shatter and break before they can be built back up anew.
