Summary
“I don’t need to know what you are,” Illuga says. “Just give me something. Something to cling to the next time you run headfirst into danger alone.”
Flins sees the ghosts behind those pleading eyes, the shadows he tries to bathe in light, to pretend his lantern could drown them out rather than push them further into the corners of his mind. And he knows the stories, knows the haunted past that Illuga doesn’t like to talk about, the reason Flins’ answer matters.
He settles on a simple, yet vague truth.
“I am… not so easily killed,” he admits.
“If you’re lying to me,” Illuga says. “I will summon you from the grave and kill you myself.”

Summary
When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.
Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.

Summary
“No,” Lu Guang murmurs. He stares at his hands, and all he sees when he closes his eyes is his palms covered in blood. Cheng Xiaoshi’s slick fingers weakly gripping his own. In this timeline, there is no blood. Nothing has happened that should, and everything has happened that shouldn’t. “It isn’t that,” he finishes.
Silence. An inhale. “Isn’t it?” Cheng Xiaoshi asks. A moment passes. “I told you I loved you, and I’ve never seen you look so sad.”

Summary
“The Angel of Death, the ferryman of the Styx, the terror of the western seas. One of the most feared captains ever to sail, and yet, I have to wonder… how did a man like you end up all on his own? We searched the area where you were found—not another soul in sight. So,” He fixes him with a long look, allowing the silence to hover like a dark cloud, the words rolling off of his tongue with all the venom and smugness he can muster, “—tell me, Philza. Where is your crew?”

OR: Technoblade is a naval captain, and Phil his unwilling prisoner. Somehow, they manage to come out of it as friends in the end.

Summary
Tommy was handed a small flyer in printed in black and white, with the words “POETRY NIGHT - OPEN MIC” splayed across the front in bubbled font. He fumbled with his binder as he took it, eyes wide as he said, “are you sure? I mean, I love poetry and all, but I don’t think-I’m not sure—what if I can’t write poetry?”
Mr. Sam’s dark eyes softened, and he reached out to place a hand on Tommy’s shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Everyone has to start somewhere; every poet, from me to Rudy Francisco, started off without knowing a clue about what we were doing. Tommy, it’s not about if you can or cannot write poetry, it’s about if you want to.”

Summary
‘’You know the Mad Hatter?’’
An involuntary shiver runs up Roy’s spine.
‘’Jarvis Tetch? Short little freak with a hard-on for Alice in Wonderland? Yeah, Wings' mentioned him, once or twice. Dabbles in mind control. Gives me the creeps.’’
‘’Well, back in the day he built this thing called the Dream Machine, trapped its victim in a kind of dream world. It seems someone found the blueprint. Spruced it up a bit.’’
A cold feeling settles in Roy’s stomach.
‘’You’re saying…’’
‘’You’re looking at the Dream Machine 2.0.’’
---
Or: Dick is dreaming and Roy needs to get him out. He learns a lot of things along the way, things Dick would've preferred to keep buried.

Summary
Dick and Bruce are like this:
Not the sun and moon, a love devastated by circumstance, a story of light and gravity, but a different beast altogether. A nucleus fissuring into two, borne of the same energy, the same matter, the same decay.Their story has always been radioactive.
A canon-divergent take on Dick's return after Spyral featuring debilitating self-loathing and guilt, interspersed with the ordeal of being unmasked, and the subsequent waning sense of personhood.

Summary
"You're a duplicitous piece of shit," Roy says evenly, like he's commenting on the weather.
One hand is tugging at Dick's hair now, the other still pinning Dick's wrist against the floor. He pushes Dick's head up against the tile, forcing Dick to look him in the eye. Dick scratches his one free hand down Roy's arm, but Roy doesn't budge. In fact, he grins.
"Can't ever just say what you need," he says. "Just like dear old dad, huh?"
Before Dick thinks about it, he's working up a mouthful of spit and blood right into Roy's face. Roy blinks, once, twice, as it slides down into the blood already pooling at his chin.
"Okay," Roy says, and then he's pulling at Dick's hair so hard that his vision almost whites out, hips bucking up again. Roy's breath is hissing out against Dick's cheekbone when he says, "There are at least six different ways you could break this hold right now. Maybe even a few more that you know and I don't. Not to mention all the openings you had before this."
Dick inhales, exhales, sharp and wild. He doesn't say anything.
"So tell me no," Roy continues. "Tell me you don't want this. Tell me to leave."
***
Dick and Roy make everything worse.

Steve was once the epitome of separation anxiety, always keeping tabs on people. The fact that this version of him exists, self-alienating from everybody he loves other than Robin, Dustin, and-
Wait.
“Why face me, then?”
With a tone much too light-hearted for the subject at hand, Steve replies, “The same reason you stayed for coffee.” His grin is so sincere, it’s almost unnerving. “We’re both scared of being alone.”

Perceptive isn’t a word Jonathan Byers would use to describe himself. Watchful could work, but only to a certain degree. A careless, languid watchful. Too relaxed to be considered sharp, but he notices enough not to lose the title altogether.

“I don’t hate you, Mike,” Jonathan said quietly, and the words sent revulsion threading through his veins. Mike let out a choked noise, trying to pull away, but the arms stayed locked around him, caging him in place even when his shaky hands came up and tried to push him away. His breaths were quick and tight and he couldn’t do this, couldn’t let Jonathan hold him like this, like he was something to be cherished.
___mike wheeler is certain that jonathan hates him now, years of past history be damned. and—he should hate him, right? because mike was an awful person, really, and everybody knew it.

Valentino isn’t a patient man, and it’s never been more evident. Vox loves him, he knows that, it’s clear as day, and yet two months have passed without a confession in sight. Even worse, with each passing day Vox distances himself more, as if their friendship never meant anything at all.
But hey, it’s fine, really. If that’s how Vox wants to play, then Valentino will play along.
