He peered into the man's face curiously: looked at the line of his jaw, the silver starting at his temples. The lines by his eyes. There was something familiar about him. But the man ducked away from his gaze.

Summary
“It’s been three years, Namjoon. Is it still that bad?”
“I don’t know, probably,” Namjoon admits.
“Maybe working with him won’t be so hard?” Hoseok suggests. “Yoongi hyung is a good guy, he’s nice. And it’s not like things ended badly.”
Which is true. Hoseok isn’t wrong. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt. It still hurts now.
None of what Hoseok says doesn’t mean that Min Yoongi is not the man who, three years ago, broke Namjoon’s heart.
-OR-
Namjoon knew it was a maladaptive coping mechanism, honestly he did, naming his cat after the ex boyfriend he was still in love with, but he really never thought he’d see him again. -

Summary
She doesn’t stop running until her sides hurt and she can’t breathe. The pounding in her head and the sandpaper rasp of her tongue quiet the voices a little, if only because she’s listing on her feet as she lets herself back into the hotel, the slowly lightening sky at her back.
It’s not enough, so she rides the elevator back up to her room and does pushups until her arms are quivering before turning over and doing sit ups until her abdominal muscles give out.
And then she just lies there on the floor and cries because the back of her mouth tastes like dust and sourness and she can feel the specks of dirt clinging to the film of sweat on her forearms and everything is just–just–
“Breathe, Mog,” Jupiter says, a hand on her shoulder.
morrigan knows better than to listen to the thoughts bouncing around her head when she's tired. but that's not always easy, and sometimes she needs a reminder.

Summary
“I can’t do this anymore!” Hermione sobbed as she threw open their – her, it was in the Granger name – front door. “No part of my life is better with you in it, Ronald!” Her soon-to-be ex-husband hung his head, not meeting her eye as he passed. Everything which was “solely Ronald’s” had been shrunk into an Undetectably Extended duffel and shoved into his hands, along with the Protean Charmed divorce papers.
“I’m sorry,” Ron whispered hoarsely. “I didn’t mean for things to get so bad, ‘Mione.” He descended the steps.
“That!” She pointed to the back of his head as he cringed. “That right there! If you’re going to insist on a nickname, go with the one we agreed on with Harry and Teddy, which is Mia!” The future divorcee slammed the door on her long-time, on-again off-again, (ex-)boyfriend turned (ex-)fiance turned (ex-)husband.
For the last time, Mia promised herself. I’m not having bloody kids with that arsehole.
