Other times you're simply the forgotten child of a deadbeat, left to clean up your father's messes because he was too much of a coward to take any responsibility.

Summary
He was wearing a boar-face mask with bloody tusks. One of the lenses over the eyes had shattered, the light from a streetlight catching on the spiderweb in the glass. The swordsman tilted his head at the hawk, clearing his throat. “Yeah?” he said.
It tucked its talons behind its back. “Good evening,” it said obediently. Speaking was always a risk, no one wanted a noisy hawk, but it could take an obvious hint.
The swordsman pointed the sword in its direction. “You work for The Brotherhood.” His voice was raspy.
He seemed to want an answer. The rain dripped out of the hawk’s hair. “Not anymore.”
“Oh.” The swordsman eyed it. The empty spots for weapons and gear at its belt, the scorch marks and slashes in its clothing, its meek stance. He cleared his throat again. “You ran?”
The hawk nodded.
“Heh.” The swordsman lowered the point of the sword. “Do y’wanna stick together?”

All Together Getting Out Of The Hole Together by antimony_medusa for leafcabbage

Summary
Everyone seemed to know each other, and they were all chatting sociably. Ranboo tugged on one of his bracelets and made himself let it go before he snapped the elastic. None of the other people in the room seemed especially depressed. How was he going to fit in here, in the “intensive therapy and life skills” his doctor had suggested they try? They never felt like they knew what they were doing, how was this going to do, classes and group therapy added to the mix?
A tall man with glasses and long faded pink hair sat down one seat away. He had a bag from the hospital coffee shop clutched in one hand and a coffee cup in the other. “You gluten free?” the man with the pink hair asked, glancing in his direction and then frowning at thin air. He snatched his glasses off his face and polished at the lenses with one hand.
Ranboo glanced at him uncertainly, but there was no one else in this corner of the room. They’d chosen it specifically because they could have their back to the majority of the room when they were sitting in it. “No?” he ventured.
The man with the pink hair held out the paper coffee shop bag. “Got a ginger cookie but I changed my mind. Do you want it?”

Summary
The smell of blood filled the flier’s cockpit as Phil coaxed it over the landscape, wings wobbling as they crested a hill. The machine was solar-powered and they’d stolen it off the field before it recharged, and with the cloud-covered sun going down now, he’d been getting emergency power - land immediately warnings blinking at him from the display for the last ten minutes. It was taking absolutely all of his concentration to keep the machine in the air, using the last gasps of the machine’s energy reserves to rise over obstacles and then glide down on the other side. “You doin’ okay there, Techno?” he managed, attention on the darkening landscape in front of him. There was an updraft over there, if he could just catch it and glide further-- they were so close to making it out.
Or: AEduo is on the run. They just need to make it through the night. They just need to make it through the night.

Summary
Philza struggled to keep standing straight, dizzy from blood loss, a white-knuckle grip on his sword.
“I have heard much of you, emperor Philza, and I have respect for you. Therefore, I’ll offer you a deal. You will surrender. You will kneel before me, right here, right now, and beg for mercy. Then I’ll take you to the Nether with me, and you’ll become my prisoner, slave, and personal servant. Or-”
The Blood God raised his netherite blade, pointing the tip straight at Philza’s heart.
“-I will allow you to die with a sword in your hand, and once you’re dead, I will slaughter your children.”
Philza fell to his knees without hesitation.
~~~
Philza had been prepared for a lot of things when he was taken as a war prize: the loss of his basic freedom, the heartbreak of being separated from his sons, the indignity of being reduced into the piglin king’s “pet”.
What he hadn’t been expecting was for the man behind the blood-stained mask to be soft-spoken, or good-natured, or tired from the weight of his crown.
Or lonely.

Summary
“Look, Tommy, I know this is a lot–”
“I don’t need the pity party,” Tommy interrupted. “Aw, it must be so hard, aw, how sad, it’s… fuckin’… it’s fine. Yeah? So just– how long do I have to stay here?” Phil took a breath, straightening his back.
“At least until we can contact your mom,” he said. “That’s step one.”
“There’s more steps?” Tommy asked incredulously.
“Well, it’s a complicated situation. The fact that they’re already struggling to make contact is… well, it’s a red flag. You lived with your brother, but your mother never transferred sole custody, and considering the situation that left you in, there's some question as to whether or not she may be involved in your brother’s… business.”
“Drugs,” Tommy said.
“Yes. Drugs.”

Or, Phil is a foster parent who takes in emergency cases, and Tommy… well, Tommy sure is an emergency.

Summary
Philza: Transatlantic, the Corvarians, all those motherfuckers who couldn’t handle us having a stronghold and good mines, they cut us off from everything in the darkest time of the year. They trapped us in the cold, in eternal night, because they figured if we starved to death, Port-aux-Francais would give them whatever deals they wanted, and they didn’t care who they were fucking killing.
We were peaceful, before the embargo. We just wanted trade deals, we collaborated with anyone who’d help us build our railroads. We never struck the first blow. After the embargo– after that winter– we figured that wasn’t gonna work.
Interviewer: So you adopted some new technologies.
Philza: Yeah, we had innovations in our manufacturing, our greenhouses, our fucking sanitation– but that’s not what you’re talking about, right? Forget the emperor shit. If you’re interviewing me about this, you don’t want to hear about the greenhouses.
You want to hear about the planes.

"A CAGE FOR A CAGE" was supposed to be a threat. It was supposed to be snarky, poetic-- that what's done to Philza and the people he cares about will be done unto the Federation.
But this is just cruel.

Summary
"Aceta-freaking-minophen?" Garcia echoes skeptically as soon as the nurse leaves again. "Seriously? What, you get heroically shot in the line of duty and they can't even get you the good stuff?"
"This is good," Reid says, probably too sharply, as he pulls the tray back over to himself. Nobody's stealing his jello this time. After a pause (wherein the iridescent halos surrounding every light clear from his vision) he adds sincerely, "Sorry. I don't mean to be an asshole. I just— It hurts. Sorry."
Garcia takes this in stride, though she grabs the spoon first and takes a heaping scoop as penance. "Apology accepted. Go all super saiyan on me again, though, and we're gonna have to have words."
