    Summary

    As it turns out, no one ever taught Luke how to tie a little green baby to his back one-handed, but Luke thinks he's pretty gods-damned good at problem-solving under pressure, thank you, and the baby is at least semi-cooperative. When he's sure the kid is strapped in as tight as he can get, Luke pauses, and reaches back. His fingers graze the wide point of the baby's fuzzy ear. "Well, kid," says Luke, and his voice is a little rough, but not bad, all things considered. "Carrying you on my back while getting the absolute banthashit kicked out of me, at least this feels familiar."

    The baby coos in his ear, and then kicks him hard in the kidney. Yoda used to do the exact same thing. Somehow, it's a lot more endearing now.

    Or: Luke Skywalker solves a number of life-or-death problems, makes some new friends, falls abruptly in love, and gets shot into space, all in the same day.

    Summary

    Bucky didn't want much. Just to keep his head down, to sell his scavenged flowers in peace, and to stay off Shield's radar. His life would have been a lot easier if his flowers weren't dead and if being a necromancer wasn't illegal, but easy or not, he was getting by. Steve didn't want much, either. He was happy working for Shield, he had good friends, and overall his life was going just about the way he wanted it. Problem was, being happy with your life was generally an invitation for fate to throw a spanner in the works—and in Steve's specific case, it was going to be a spanner named Bucky.

    (A love story about flowers, trust, and magic and the choices we make about doing what's right.)

    Summary

    Six years after he and Viktor part ways on antagonistic terms, Jayce wakes up in the Machine Herald’s medical clinic.

    Jayce desperately wants to rub at his forehead, but the binding at his wrist stops him. He settles for squeezing his eyes shut. “Why?” he asks.

    Viktor is silent for barely a moment. He says, tonelessly, “I assumed this was preferable to dying.”

    Summary

    Gareth was hallucinating.

    That was the only explanation that made sense. He wasn’t sure he’d ever gone this long without sleeping, so it made sense that his brain had gone a little wonky.

    Steve Harrington had just burst into Eddie’s hospital room, reached under the couch by the window, pulled out a bat full of nails, and dashed back out into the hallway.

    or

    That nightmare of a town hall encouraged people other than Jason to hunt Eddie down. Steve says no, with prejudice.

    Summary

    Grantaire’s eyes are black.

    He blinks twice, long dark lashes sweeping down and then snapping open. The pupils of his eyes - if he still had them - would be focused on Enjolras, but instead their darkness just reflects his image back, frowning and confused.

    Enjolras tightens his grip on the knife he’s holding, feels his knuckles start to turn white.

    Grantaire grins.

    Summary

    Kuina is seven years old the first time she says, "I wish I was a boy."

    ~

    "You could have been the best," Papa says, looking at her with a sad expression.

    Kuina blinks. Her pride and eagerness start to wilt. "But… but I am going to be the best!"

    "A girl can't be the best, Kuina."

    "Well, I'll be a boy then," she decides, resolute. "I'd rather be a boy anyway!"

    Summary

    Eddie doesn’t like showing it when he’s scared. Wayne always knows, though. He knew every time Eddie appeared on his doorstep with no warning, small and trembling with a dirty, oversized backpack packed with snacks and worn stuffed animals. He knew when Eddie was taller, a little bit too skinny and too tough for his age, when his dad finally ended up in prison and the government finally let Wayne's kid be his kid. He knew when Eddie was in middle school, friendless and angry and paranoid, when Wayne stumbled upon a stash of porno mags while he was looking for drugs.

    So he knows now.

    {in which Wayne doesn't meet Steve until quite a while after he and Eddie start dating}

    Summary

    “Hey, shithead.”

    Max’s head whips to find Steve leaning against the doorway, hands deep in the pockets of his khakis and his ankles crossed casually, like he hangs out in this funeral home all the time. 

    “Oh.” She clears her throat. “Hey. Asshole.”

    “If you’re trying to hide, you might want to shut the door,” he says, stepping inside and lightly pushing the door until it clicks shut. The room feels so much smaller. 

    “I didn’t want to freak anyone out.”

    Summary

    “You’re my best friend,” she said, voice an angry whisper as she clutched his bruised hands hard enough to hurt. “You are my best friend and you saved my life. Now go the fuck to sleep so we can wake up in an hour and make sure your brain isn’t soup.”

    In the dim light of her bedroom, she could just barely see him frown. God, he looked like shit. “What kind of soup?”

    Summary

    Miles turns to him. He's visibly confused, brows scrunched up and mouth crooked, "You don't like Gwen?" He asks.

    Hobie shoves his hands into his vest pockets and leans back on his heels, "Can't really say that's my area of expertise." His feet click when he lands back on them, flat.

    Miles blinks at him, "Oh. Oh." He says dumbly.

    Hobie smirks, "Mhm," he says simply, "How 'bout you? You fancy Gwenny?" He asks. There's something almost taunting in his tone, like he already knows the answer to his question. Miles envies him for that.

    ---

    Or; Hobie visits Miles every week to keep up on the TV show they've been watching. One night, things don't go as planned, feelings get revealed, and Miles only has to do mild damage control.

    Summary

    It’s probably going to go down in history as the worst kiss Steve Harrington ever got, but Eddie doesn’t give a fuck. He isn’t going to get another chance so he’s working with what he’s got. It’s less of a kiss, and more of a slide of lips, wet with blood and tears but he feels Harrington’s grip tighten on the back of his shirt and he pulls back. He reaches up with the hand he can still feel and pushes back a strand of hair that had fallen in Steve’s face, smearing blood along his temple as he does.

    “Sorry. Couldn’t die without knowing what that felt like.”
