    Summary

    Peter Parker plunges into Gotham—colder, heavier, and meaner than the city he knew. Stripped of his usual tech and support, he leans on instinct and heart to get by. Over time, his actions earn the wary trust of Gotham’s protectors. But it’s not just about surviving anymore—he’s becoming a mentor, a teammate, and maybe even a symbol this world didn’t expect to need.

    Summary

    Celine held the end of her braid - a nervous habit, but it gave her courage. “You know, it’s nice to find someone else out here. This place is too lovely to have all to myself.”

    She braced for another eye roll. Celine hadn’t prepared for a soft, wistful smile. Juniper’s lilac gaze settled on the columns as she spoke. "These ruins are part of what drew me to Mistria. There's not much left from the era of the Witch Queens... especially so intact.” She rested a slender hand against the stonework. “There's new power here, deep beneath us. The earthquake must have revealed it.”

    Celine blinked in astonishment. Their conversations had always been mundane, and brief. She wasn’t ready for this one to end just yet. “Something magical, you mean?”

    Obviously. Now run along, you’re distracting me.”

    When a beautiful, mysterious sorceress moves to town, Celine dares to hope for more than a decent job and a quiet life.

    Summary

    .
    .
    .
    In the wake of the ancient magic finally sealed permanently beneath the school, the British Ministry of Magic is terrified of more power slipping out of their control. Killian Beaumont is brought before the Wizengamot with only one possible outcome: to be minimized. They deem him unpredictable, dangerous. And after careful gleaning, he is ordered by law under the watchful eye of the retired auror, Aesop Sharp.
    The keepers are gone, and with so many unanswered questions, Killian starts on an endless search for answers, all while butting heads with his reluctant, prickly potion’s professor. But with those out there hungry for power, there is something the Ministry fails to realize.

    There are more dangerous things than a 16 year old boy.

    Summary

    To Frank, a perfectly done crike leaves a faint cobalt halo around the patient, sitting silently in the car before driving home smears the windshield with a dusty taupe, and a late-night run washes over him in a wave of saturated coral. This is how he’s always experienced the world.

    or:

    Six colors Frank associates with Mel.

    Summary

    “Are you happy with yourself?” Nat asked Rooster. “You’ve made him into a circus attraction.”

    “Kinda,” Rooster laughed, crossing his arms. “It's his fault for falling asleep out here. Hey, who's got a sharpie?”

    “Okay–” Nat huffed, setting her hands on her hips.

    “I'm kidding, I'm kidding!”

    “Floyd!” Nat said, her voice loud and assertive, and Bob jerked awake immediately, knocking his book off of his lap.

    “Huh?” he breathed, lifting his head off of the back of the armchair. Fanboy snatched Bob's wallet back from Harvard, tucking it under his leg hastily. Halo took a step back from where she was leaned over peering at his book, but she knocked her shin into the coffee table and swore. Rooster clasped his hands behind his back and tucked the twenties into his pocket, making his best attempt at a poker face, but he knew he was failing miserably. And Hangman, thank fuck, finally muted his stupid phone and looked up in earnest.

    “That woke him up,” Payback said under his breath

    “That'd wake any of us up,” Fanboy replied, nervously glancing at Nat. “Was she a drill sergeant in a past life?”

    ***

    Or, five times the daggers wake Bob up, and one time they can't get him to sleep.

    Summary

    Petey is a mark, a brand seared into his fucking skin. He carries Petey like the jagged scar tainting his necks on his best days, and on his worst days it is open. He remembers telling their—Petey's, Petey's son, that he's always loved all his scars. Evidence that he was human, once. Evidence that he's still a dog, no matter what.

    Maybe not, Petey himself would argue. Petey's a scar. And a bruise. And sharp words. And anger. And everything that has ever hurt him has made him remember.

    ...But Petey's also laughter. And love. And sweet nothings in the wind. And euphoria. And everything that has ever made him happy has made me remember.
