Summary
James told Albus something ages ago, before they went to Hogwarts and things got kind of weird, before they fixed the weirdness and became friends – not just brothers, but friends – and before they were even really cognizant of what bravery is. He said that you really only need to be brave sometimes, in fleeting moments, when it really counts.
“How will I know when it counts, though?” Albus, all of perhaps eight, had asked.
James had an answer, because his big brother always had an answer.
“You’ll know,” he’d said. It had sounded like a cop-out at the time. “You’re smart, Al. You’ll know when you’ve got to be brave.”

Summary
“I really like the shirt you’re wearing,” Buck chirps while he tosses the salad. It’s a giant bowl, and most of his attention is on not letting the leaves fall out. He’s being normal, casual, complimenting his best bro. An average day. “It looks good on you.”
Buck watches Eddie from the corner of his eye. Eddie looks down, then back up at Buck with an exasperated expression. “This shirt? Seriously?”
When Buck really gets a glimpse of the shirt, he winces. While he was right about it looking good on Eddie- because, honestly, everything looks good on Eddie- it’s covered in pasta sauce and excess spices. It has three holes on the neck hem and two more in the right armpit, and those are the only ones Buck can see.
He can play this off. “It would look better if you were a meatball.”
Eddie blinks at him.
“Get it?” Buck is starting to sweat now. Is it hot in here? He reaches back to turn the stove down half of a notch. “Because you’re covered in sauce?”

“So where are we going?” Keith asks.
“It’s a surprise, Red. A day of autumn fun, led by yours truly.” Lance replies, light and easy.
Keith sighs in response, shoving his freezing nose further into the collar of his jacket. He knew he should’ve brought a scarf.
Keith’s never had apple cider. He's never done any of those classic fall activities, really. And Lance, taking it as a personal offense, decides to take one day and change that. Among other things.

Still deeply in his side career as a streamer, Robotnik is sharply reminded of this insipid little thing called “Valentine’s Day”. Huffing, puffing and most of all scoffing at it, he is about to laugh it off entirely -
If not for the fact that it dawns on him that he is overlooking a certain someone’s thoughts on the matter. Surely Stone wouldn’t be into something this stupid… right?The promised Valentine’s Day Fic cuz I saw so much awesome Stobotnik fanart on the day itself, I just HAD to try my hands on it myself

Summary
They were sitting on the rooftop of Vernon’s apartment when Seungkwan asked what wine would he pair him with if he was a dish on the menu of Haneul & Bada. Their legs were stretched out, shoulders touching. And between them, a bottle of Dark Horse Merlot sat.
“Something bright, but layered,” Vernon started, tearing his gaze away from Seungkwan because lately, he had been having urges of leaning closer whenever they talked and it was messing with his heart big time. “A Chenin Blanc, maybe. Complex, but easy to like, to want, and hard to forget.”
Seungkwan was quiet for a second too long, and Vernon wondered if he had said too much.
Then, without any warning, Seungkwan’s head was on his shoulder. “That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me.”
In which Seungkwan was a bright light, always giving, never asking. Vernon watched- curious, then fell in love quietly, shyly. Years later, fate offered a second chance- not for Vernon to watch, but to get close.

Summary
Due to an increased number of incidents in which the Justice League is dosed with sex pollen or other substances that force them into Fuck-or-Die situations, Batman creates "The List Protocol". Each member of the League must have a pre-authorization form with a list of Leaguers they are willing to have sex with in such circumstances.
Batman just didn't expect to be on so many lists- or to fall in love in the process.
What follows is a journey of love, vulnerability and healing in between sexcapades with his team of super friends.
Superman, while clearly jealous, hesitates to make a move- much to everyone's frustration.
