Summary
“Like, I’m not a theater person. I don’t know the etiquette and I think schmoozing is really stupid. I don’t wanna stroke your ego. But this job is keeping your shit organized and on time, right? I can do that. I can do the job, I just can’t be your fan. And, uh, I don’t think you’re used to that. No offense.”
Frank is, without a doubt, the most unpredictable person that’s been in Gerard’s orbit in years. For starters, he just said “shit” during a job interview.
---
or: Successful playwright and director Gerard Way is in desperate need of an assistant to help him keep all of his plates spinning in the six months before his newest play premieres. He expects someone polished, someone who knows the theater world, someone who knows who he is. Instead, he gets Frank Iero, a 23 year old punk with a couple of failed dreams and a knack for scheduling. He's abrasive, sarcastic, and refuses to engage with Gerard's work.
He's exactly what Gerard needs.

Summary
And, even though he was irritating to the point of making her consider switching schools… Harry made Audrey laugh. Not always, but at parties, at balls; the pirate always noticed when she wasn't in a good mood.
The son of Captain Hook shouldn't be able to make her smile right after she received a demeaning message from her grandmother. He shouldn't be able to make her run outside in the middle of an important ball, with uncomfortable heels in her hands, letting out a loud, unladylike laugh.
He shouldn't!
But he did.

Summary
Ren squeezed out the last of the Nohar-M tube into his hand (he’d have to make this one stretch) and spread a palm over Ryuji’s stomach. Ryuji let his eyes flutter shut at the sensation of a kind hand and cool gel. The silence, however, was unnerving. His throat went tight.
“H- hey,” He managed, “Whatever you’re pissed about can you… can you just yell and get it over with? I don’t— I don’t know why you’re mad at me but I don’t want to fight.”
“… I’m not mad,” Ren said, very very quietly, “And I’m not going to yell.”
“You seem mad…”
“I’m worried.”
That was rare. Ren never worried. Or at least never said he was.
When a Palace collapses, it signifies its place in the Metaverse combining with its rightful place in the real world. The line between cognition and reality becomes blurred, and unfortunately for Ryuji, that means getting caught in a very real explosion.

Summary
If someone had told McCoy he’d be helping co-babysit a young Vulcan with an adult Vulcan he found irritating to no end on the maiden voyage of Starfleet’s flagship shortly after the destruction of an entire planet, he would’ve laughed in their face, then checked them over for signs of head trauma.
As it happened, he would probably be the one who’d need to get his head checked after this whole ordeal.
Or: In the aftermath of the destruction of Vulcan, McCoy finds himself connecting with a young Vulcan girl in need of a family. As he juggles the stresses of his job and responsibilities, another connection forms between him and Spock, surprising both McCoy and everyone else.

Summary
The walls were painted a nice dark shade of blue and fairy lights were hung around to look like stars. It truly looked like the setting of space he would see in a children’s story book. Even the booth he sat in was shaped like a spaceship.
It was funny, how he actually felt like an alien in that moment, failing to understand how to hold a basic friendship or social interaction.
The chatter of people around him started to become almost unbearable, reminding him of his isolation.
Reminding him how alone he was.
After his return from Malaysia, Jisung struggles to fit in Seoul. From the judgmental stares to the artificial relationships, he just wants a break from it all.
Eventually, he does get that break with the right group of people.
