Summary
They've been partners for over a year. Kotetsu should know by now that he can't keep things from Barnaby. It's not hard to tell when his partner's having a bad day. Kotetsu is different when he's depressed. He still smiles brightly, and if anything he laughs harder than usual - almost as if he's got something to prove - but there's a weariness about him.
They'll have to talk about it sooner or later, Barnaby knows. Accidental property damage is one thing, but the most terrifying of Kotetsu's tells is recklessness. He's always reckless, but not like this. On bad days it's dropping ten stories before shooting a wire, throwing himself in front of machine guns, charging head first into danger, damn the consequences, damn the pain, damn everything.
It scares him. He knows it’s only so long before his partner seriously injures himself. He could lose Kotetsu, and it’s a sickening, sobering thought.
Kotetsu thinks he's good at hiding things, but Barnaby has come to know his tells. After a particularly bad night, things come to a head.

Summary
Simple people, Al thinks. The thought makes him smile. Sometimes it’s hard to remember the little things—hard to remember that not everything happens for a reason, and not everything needs a reason or a complicated explanation. The world is complex, but for how it makes them suffer, its people deserve to be simple. Al deserves to be simple, after spending years struggling to retain his humanity, ruminating on the horrors he’s witnessed during the lonely, endless nights; he deserves to like simple things for simple reasons, society be damned.

Bookmarker's Notes
On ch 2
Ch 1 Jon can only use word from others
Ch 7 probably, but that’s not the question I asked.” She sighs when she sees Jon’s blank expression. “Look, the only way I can think to approach all of… this is to break it into smaller pieces. It doesn’t mean I’m committing to anything else, it doesn’t mean that I can’t change my mind, it doesn’t mean that I can’t walk away later. I’m not asking whether I should stay, and I’m not offering to get involved indefinitely or unconditionally. Right this moment, all I’m asking is whether you want me to physically leave this room – for now – and come back later.”
Ch 8 fourteen powers – each with an aim no more or less than manifestation. Apocalypse. Apotheosis.”
“Fourteen.” Basira speaks soundlessly to herself for a few moments. When she speaks up again, it's with a suddenness that startles Jon halfway out of his daze. “Coming in contact with all of the Powers – is that a necessary condition? For the ritual to work?”
Comemnts
Like, that part where (with Georgie's help) he finally spells out that what happened to him wasn't his fault? The euphoria and terror of admitting that something terrible was done to him, that he was hurt and victimized and robbed of agency and therefore the fault lies squarely with his abuser and not himself?! Beautiful. Twists at my heart and makes a lovely macrame out of the rest of my circulatory system.
thanks so much!! and YEAH oh man, Jon & Georgie's friendship means so much to me and I understand why it fell apart in canon (and I respect Georgie's right to set hard boundaries) butHopefully, the people around him will hesitate to dehumanize him as much as they did the first go-around. Having Georgi
Martin boundaries in s5
Ch 15 Anyway, I actually suspect that, much like the End, the Extinction wouldn’t benefit from a Ritual even if one could work. It thrives on the potentiality of a mass extinction event, not the fulfillment of one. The Fears will cease to exist when there are no longer minds to fear them. Of course, it doesn’t have to be humans, or any creature currently living. If something does come after us, the Fears will likely survive and adapt, but otherwise –”

think a lot of the Avatars have that echo box experience, yeah. Which makes sense -- the Entities that claimed them influence them so much that it's hard to really distinguish between themselves and the power that claimed them sometimes. And like, for some of them, there were things about them even before they became Avatars that made them sort of compatible with the Entities that eventually claimed them (Annabelle being manipulative, Jon being voraciously curious, Jude and Jared having sadistic streaks), which their patrons could feed on, exploit, & amplify. Others may not have had that compatibility before, but grow into it as an Entity gets a tighter grip on themAaa thank you!!
I think next to Jon, Oliver is one of my fave Avatars. He's just vibing and minding his own business and silently lamenting the fact that coming to terms with the End Of All Things somehow STILL didn't cure his anxiety. And of course I enjoy ANY chance to have Martin pop off.hank you! :D
I was a bit worried about going in circles but like, I feel Oliver is the type to just be like "listen,,, all I know for sure is that Death Comes For Us All and that Working In The Financial Sector is the actual Fifteenth Fear, and whenever I die it will be on that hill." If they ever got to talking about their uni days, I bet Oliver would go into a whole tirade about being an econ major. (It's still very funny to me that his S5 statement amounted to "Jon. Jon, the fear economy is in shambles.")Ch 29 cmwmts
love the idea of there being a Curator and Librarian beneath the beholding, especially with the connotations of 'The Archivist' being both a job and a title, it's interesting to think about other managerial positions within the eye. Haha, Beholding sure seems to like its bureaucracy. Also, the way you've fleshed out the characters!! I'm really enjoying the character struggles and the way you've portrayed Jon and Daisy's trauma as more than a one-note thing.Martin, though concerned about Jon can still get upset and prioritize himself when he realizes he shouldn't be handling this situation in his emotional state, sometimes taking

Summary
The brighter the light, the darker the shadows. And in a super-powered society, those shadows are dark indeed. But whilst the world desperately trained more and more heroes, making that light brighter and brighter, the prestigious hero school, UA, had another idea. Why not tackle the problem at its source?
And so was born the infamous class 1-A. Would-be criminals from all over the country were selected, and a group of twenty now roam the halls of the school, alongside the heroes of the next generation.
Last year, the entirety of Mr Aizawa’s class A graduated. But this year was different. No, he didn’t believe they would all graduate back into society like the classes before them. He believed they could become something bigger. That was why, with gritted teeth and a manic smile, Eraser Head turned to his new class of students and said:
"You aren't villains - you never were, and you never will be. But you can take that fire inside of you and put it to good use. We're in a hero school, aren't we? Well then...
"Let's be heroes."

Summary
“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

A story of growth, friendship, and healing.
Zuko still has a lot of work to do, if he wants to restore the fire nation to its peaceful origins, but he will have a lot of time to work on it, an a group of friends to support him along the way.
One of the most beautiful stories I've read in a long time.

Summary
When Peter gets beat up at school, he knows exactly where his support system is and heads straight for it. A whumpy hurt/comfort fic for Whumptober 2023.
OR
He doesn’t think he’s hurt badly enough to need to go to the Med Bay, but a first aid kit would be nice. Mr. Stark has one in his lab for lab accidents. If he can make his way to the tower he can use that. He doesn’t want to go because he wants Mr. Stark to hug him and tell him everything will be ok… definitely not. He and Mr. Stark have never hugged before. Well, there was the one time after Germany when Peter had mistaken Mr. Stark reaching across him to open the door as a hug. The man had told him, “Not a hug, I’m just opening the door. We’re not there yet.” Peter is his intern, and a junior Avenger in training. There will be no ‘there yet’ because interns and Avengers don’t get comforted like that. To get a hug he’ll have to wait until five the next morning when May gets off her shift at the hospital.
It’s fine, Peter thinks to himself. I’m not going there for a hug, I just need a first aid kit.
