Summary
The blood is on his hands.
It’s no surprise, really. There has been blood on his hands since he was five, dabbing bewildered and wet-eyed at a split lip while his father wobbled above him, smell of alcohol rotting on his breath.

Summary
There’s probably bruises on Reid’s stomach now, perfectly shaped to the edge of Hotch's boot. He should've stopped kicking, of course the boy knew the plan, he's a genius.
So why didn't he?

Summary
It’s not that he’s tired, although he is, it’s just that his limbs feel heavier than they should, like somebody has tied weights to the ends of them while he wasn’t looking.
He could hardly sleep for the buzzing taking over the empty spaces of his brain, but this morning all Tristan can feel is an utter lack of energy.

OR Tristan has a long morning.

Summary
Jack successfully distracted Robby with talk of an atypical stroke in a twenty-year-old as they walked just down the street. Robby was so focused on asking him questions that he didn't much pay attention as Brandon led the way inside, past the bouncers and through a dark doorway, the low beat of sensual music rising as they entered. Which meant that Jack got the unparalleled joy of watching Robby as he pulled up short just inside, his eyes widening as he took in the stage, the glittering lights, the gleaming poles, and the parade of half-naked women on display. "What the fuck," he muttered, not a question.
"Oh, have you not heard of Lola's? It's all the rage," Jack said innocently, trying to control his grin.
Robby locked onto him, expression going stormy. "Et tu, Brute?"

Summary
What Peter should say is exactly what he’s thinking—no, it's different because I feel responsible for what happens to you and seeing you hurt scared the living daylights out of me.
What he says instead tastes like bile, spilling out of him like toxic waste. “Listen, like I said, I’m not the one who got beaten half-to-death by a lowlife with a ring fetish.”
The spring of regret is instantaneous.
Carter stares at him, expression frozen but far from empty. Deathly still water over tumultuous undercurrents. He bites the inside of his cheek, pulling the corners of his mouth under tight control as he nods slowly, considering. “Well," he says at last, voice bitter and hollow, "I’m sorry I ruined your evening by trying to save a girl’s life.”
Or, the Ugandan clinic AU no one asked for.

Summary
Tristan knows it's over the moment he plunges headfirst into the crashing waves. He has just enough time left, just enough air, for one last glimpse of his partners’ beautiful, smiling faces in his mind’s eye before the waves are lifting him up, then driving him down, down, down into blackness.
Tristan whump. A bit of Max and Avery whump later on.
