Summary
“I’m ace.” Jungkook cuts him off with the admission. He winces when he sees Jimin’s lips make an ‘o’ of understanding. And if it's possible, the blond looks even guiltier, wringing his hands together as he looks away from Jungkook.
“I mean, that being said, yes I’m interested. Just–” Jungkook takes a deep breath. “Just not in the exact ways you were probably thinking.”

Summary
“Oh Neil,” Andrew cooed, fingers tight around Neil’s chin. “How could they leave you all on your own?”
And Neil was a fool, so all he heard was the mocking tone. He tried to steer his thoughts away from the resemblance of this tone to the one Andrew used when he called him his little rabbit. Something akin to affection.
“I could say the same for you,” he retorts. The thumb on his chin goes sliding at that, moving up to his lips like it could shut him up. “We’re monsters. That’s why.”

Summary
It’s been a long time since Gojou Satoru last celebrated his birthday.
Or, Gojou gets surprised by his cute students and has a revelation.
Resting his arm on the table, Satoru props his chin up, watching the kids bickering between themselves. They’re filled with such innocence, despite being sorcerers, and maybe Ijichi is right— Satoru should let them enjoy their youth where they can. He’d never had that himself, as the target of assassins from the moment of his birth.
“Oh, almost forgot!” Nobara says, grabbing a paper bag from the worktop and dropping it in front of Satoru. “We also got you this.”
Satoru raises his eyebrow and grins. “You got me a paper bag? How wonderful!”

Summary
It’s easy to fall victim to self doubt, and Yuuji is no different.
Except, the voices in his head whispering venomous words aren't his own.
It feels like he’s drowning, and somewhere in the back of his mind he can hear Sukuna whispering words of despair, the King of Curses always relentless in his goal to pull him back into the darkness once more.

Summary
“He isn’t talking, but it hasn’t been too long. Ify’s just getting started really.” She peeks in through the one-way glass in the door and sees Ify waving around a knife and speaking brightly. The man is keeping his eyes on the knife, which to be fair, does have a wicked-looking blade, and has shrunk back against the chair he’s tied to as much as possible.
Fiona grins at the grandiose gestures and loud, showy laughter, but interrupts all the same. Ify turns to her, smirks, and then looks back at the sad sack in the chair.
“Well, pal. My boss is here, which means things just got so much worse for you.” He flips the knife around hilt first and hands it off to Fiona. He pats the guy on the head, which makes him flinch, and goes to the door. Fiona nods to him and he leaves, the door latch echoing in the room as it catches.

Summary
Johnny doesn't know when the thought first occurred to him- he'd pushed it away for a long time, trying to chalk it up to some narcissistic notion that the guy he'd ended up stuck with was alright. That is true for the most part, but he can't keep pretending it's so simple.
He likes this kid.

Summary
Kaz was lonely.
He didn’t like to think about it and he liked far less to admit it to himself. He preferred to keep such thoughts locked up tighter than the military secrets the Fjerdans so treasured. Over the years, he had become adept in the art of oh-so-elegantly twisting in a dance away from thoughts. Kaz knew once the thoughts began to seep out, it was a very quick, very steep plummet into dangerous, dark thoughts.
Most times, there wasn’t any time or space for such feelings. Sadness gave way to slowing down and wasting time, and those were a fateful combination amongst the muck of Ketterdam. -

Summary
She can be fragile, he thinks, but not fragile like flowers or porcelain or some tender ornament of thin blown glass. Fragile like an explosive on a hair trigger, or the sharp jagged edges of the glass ornament after it has already smashed on the floor. There’s power in it. Danger. Come too close and you might get hurt.
