    Summary

    In which Stiles didn't have time to get bullied: he had bigger things going on, thank you very much. So, really, it wasn't his fault he didn't notice until it was too late to bring up.

    And as he looked at the rainbow of bruises that'd become his body, he quickly realized it was much, much too late to bring it up.

    His pack disagrees.

    Summary

    "You should know by now that only Rhodey, Pepper, and Happy hand me things, Birdbrain."

    Hearing those words, every head in the room whipped around to face Tony, and he looked back at them in bewilderment.

     "What? Why are you all looking at me like I kicked a puppy and then denied that I did?"

     Natasha stared at him. "Peter hands you things all the time. It's not just Pepper, Rhodey, and Happy."

    Tony's expression became even more bewildered if that was possible. "What? No I don't. I'm pretty sure I would have noticed."

    ---

    "5 times someone noticed Peter handing something to Tony + 1 time that Tony noticed"

    Summary

    He’s good at playing games — much better than Pepper, who often frustrates Morgan by asking too many questions, wanting to outline the rules — so he closes his eyes. He flinches at the first brush of the gloppy, cold substance through his hair. Morgan sections his hair in clumps, somehow she has procured one of the brushes used for applying hair dye. Tony would know them very well, having only recently abandoned dyeing his hair. He doesn’t think anything of it, no doubt there’s a huge pile of those brushes under the bathroom sink, relics of the thousands of dollars he had given to Just For Men.

    The smell, though… The smell isn’t right — it smells almost like — “Morgan, is that bleach?”

    Summary

    Hiccup sighed, “So are you gonna put out the fire or …”

    “Nah,” Ruffnut said, “Let it burn.”

    “You know, little H,” Tuffnut said, finally looking away from the fire, “We’re always wrecking havoc. It’s like our specialty. But you my friend - you are a walking disaster.”

    “Gee, thanks.”

    The roof on the smithy collapsed inward. Hiccup sighed. Ruffnut and Tuffnut looked at him in awe.

    Hiccup hadn’t known it then, and wouldn’t ever know it, but that was the day that he first truly began falling out of favour with his father - and the day that he began falling into favour with the most insane duo on Berk.

    Or, thanks to the fact that Hiccup seems to screw-up everything he touches, the twins follow him around for free entertainment. What they didn't sign up for was friendship.

    Summary

    Recovery isn’t linear. Pain doesn’t always announce itself. And strength, Hiccup learns, isn’t about how long you can walk alone—it’s about knowing when to reach for someone’s hand.

    After the battle with the Red Death, Hiccup is left with a new prosthetic, an aching body, and a village watching him like he’s made of glass. He pushes through it—because what else is he supposed to do?

    But there’s only so far you can walk on a bent rig and unspoken pain.

    Astrid, Gobber, and Toothless are there—always.

    All he has to do is let them be.

     

    (5 Times Hiccup didn't ask for help, and the 1 time he did.)
