Problematic Coworkers: Dr. J's Advice On How To Deal With Them by higherfurtherfaster
Fandoms: The Pitt (TV)
22 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Trinity's laying on the couch with a beer on the floor beside her, and it's July 15th when they both have a shift in the morning. Just a boring fucking night. Trinity's not in the mood for TV or a movie - even if it's better without Huck's commentary - so she finds herself living her best life, laying on her couch trying not to spill her beer as she browses TikTok.
Fucking pathetic.
She's just skimming through her FYP when she sees a woman sitting on a hospital bed, bags under her eyes. She's talking about something but Santos doesn't quite clock what. She's tired, and her brain only registers that it's a pretty younger woman, and she automatically moves to flick down to the next recommended brainrot.
As her finger is halfway through flicking down the screen though, she recognizes that voice. And she recognizes that face.
"No fucking way."
(Trinity Santos finds Victoria Javadi's Tiktok page, and goes into a bit of a spiral)

Summary
She nods as he gives her the glass, taking a swig before he skitters away. She thinks it tastes….she's not sure if it tastes better than she's used to. She's never been able to tell. It tastes different.
Still goes down with that familiar burn . That's good enough.
As she's having her drink though, Drummer's hand stills. It stills, because she's hearing words that she never thought she'd hear again. Martian words.
A Martian song.
(Drummer has a drink after being named head of the Transport Union, and thinks about Maya)

Summary
Everyone in The Pitt is a fucking gossip.
Emery's known this for years. Nurses and residents and med students and security will cycle in and out but the one fucking constant is that everyone loves to knee deep in each other's lives. It's worse now than it's ever been. The Filipino nurses are no joke.
Emery's not immune to it. She makes damn sure that she's not the subject of said gossip- outside of a surgery gone well - and she doesn't add to it, but she doesn't actively avoid it when she's down there. Especially on days like today.
She's not working on July 4th.
(Emery Walsh comes back from her summer vacation to find out that Samira Mohan is at risk of burning out. She does what she can to help)

How Is She That Attractive? (Or How Miss All Sunday Caused Nami's Gay Awakening) by higherfurtherfaster
Fandoms: One Piece (Live Action TV 2023)
06 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
She loves everyone on board - dearly - but sometimes quiet is nice. Sometimes it's needed. During the day there's always three people screaming, minimum. Now with Chopper on board, even with them sailing to Alabasta and it being relatively easygoing, there's usually two people training on the deck, the sound of Zorro's weights, Usopp telling some form of 'story' and Luffy being….Luffy.
Right now though….there's nothing.
There's just Nami, leaning against the railing where just days ago, a scary mysterious raven haired woman in a small purple outfit had ambushed them and threatened their lives.
Nami suddenly knows how Sanji feels whenever they come across a pretty girl.
(Vivi helps Nami deal with her.....complicated feelings about Miss All Sunday)

Summary
After the PittFest MCI, Walsh finds herself thinking about Mohan more and more. A distracting amount.
It's fucking annoying.
She's not down in the Pitt very often. Frankly, she chooses not to be. Even more so after the MCI and seeing how Robby and Abbot run things down there.
(Doctor Emery Walsh can't get Doctor Samira Mohan off the brain, and decides to do something about it)

Somewhere In The Lifestream by higherfurtherfaster

Summary
Her room is quiet.
It's so quiet.
Tifa's not even really sure where they are. She's been….she's been tired. Cid and Barrett and….and what's left of Cloud (whatever is happening with him) charted their flight path, and now they're somewhere up North. Somewhere cold where there's not a lot of people and it was easy to find rooms.
Tifa's room is so quiet.
Yuffie's….somewhere. She must have snuck out at some point to get some air, so Tifa's all alone in their shared room. Even though there's that big big part of her that knows she shouldn't be. Shouldn't be alone right now.
Tifa rarely even shares a room with Yuffie.
(After the events of FF7 Rebirth, Tifa thinks back on her time with Aerith at Costa del Sol)

As the Saying Goes (Or "Samira Mohan Doesn't Date") by higherfurtherfaster
Fandoms: The Pitt (TV)
14 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
It doesn't hit Samira for a couple weeks, the fact that beers in the park after a long shift is probably a common thing.
She's an R3, and she's been at PTMC long enough that she should have known about it. Should have been to a couple. The fact that she's been to as many as a med student at the end of their first day is….it's a little sad, she thinks. The fact that she's not a social pariah - meaning it's her choice - makes it just that little big sadder.
It's rattling around in her brain the same way that McKay's comments about having a life outside of The Pitt are. As soon as she starts thinking about it, she can't stop. She's….she's happy with her life. She is. She's happy. Content. She shouldn't be thinking about how sad it may or may not be when she's content with her life and how things are going.
(Samira Mohan grapples with her lack of social life after the events of Season One)

Summary
Nat tries to stay out of it.
She's not big on drama. Never has been, never will be. She's got too much shit going on in her own life (too many nightmares) that she doesn't see the point in getting drug into pointless high school bullshit. Half of the team will be out of Wiskayok by September, and the half that stays won't spare a second glance at Natalie Scatorccio the second that Nationals is over.
Her life has never been all that fucking perfect though, has it?
She's not even in the goddamn room when it happens.
(Jackie finds out about Shauna and Jeff, and Nat has to pick up the pieces)

Summary
Caitlyn digs her palm into her eye socket.
She can feel the beginnings of a stress headache coming on. They don’t happen very often - not nearly as often as they used to - but they still rise up on occasion with the sole aim of driving her mad. They always come at the most inopportune time - when she has work to do - and now is no exception.
She has the pictures strewn out all over her office. There’s too many to isolate the mess to her desk, so she’s decided to use the hardwood floor of the Piltover Sheriff's office instead.
Crime scene photos. Over fifty of them.
There’s just….none of it makes sense.
Camille Ferros.
(Caitlyn and Vi investigate the kidnapping of Camille Ferros)

Kate Bishop's Mixed Bag of a Day by higherfurtherfaster
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thunderbolts (Movie 2025), Hawkeye (TV 2021)
06 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Today’s been a real mixed bag for Kate Bishop. A little bit of good, and a little bit of bad.
Good: Kate’s back in New York for the week and she got to start her day with a nice greasy New York bacon egg and cheese from her favourite breakfast place.
Good: Kamala found the girl they came here for, who is both way younger than Kate expected and way nicer. Kamala was subsequently able to convince ‘Miss America’ to join their team - Kamala, Kate and Cassie - at the aforementioned breakfast place for a quick chat.
Bad: America asks if they’re related to the New Avengers, and Kate has to tell her that no, they aren’t. They don’t work with them. Don’t even associate with them. Kate then has to ignore the way her heart is beating out of her chest at the mention of that particular team the entire time.
(The Young Avengers go on a recruiting mission to New York, running into the New Avengers and some supervillains along the way)

Someone I Can Trust by higherfurtherfaster

Summary
Illyana knows this is probably a mistake.
She knows that Kitty wants to be left alone. That she’s ‘done’ with the X-Men, and all those associated with that name. That she doesn’t want to be drawn into anything, not like this.
Illyana doesn’t want to draw her in either. Doesn’t want to put her in Liminal’s line of fire, or any of these other…..forces. She doesn’t want to hurt her, the same way that she doesn’t want to hurt Dani.
Well…not entirely the same way. But that’s something she’s buried deep deep down.
Still, she doesn’t want Kitty to get hurt. Wouldn’t forgive herself if she got Kitty injured or worse. She knows all that, but there’s that even bigger part of her that needs to see her.
(Set immediately after Magik #4 (2025) and some time in Exceptional X-Men before #7, Illyana goes to visit Kitty in Chicago after leaving Dani and Cal in Ecuador)

Letting Her In, Filling the Void, Fighting the Darkness by higherfurtherfaster

05 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
The reporter keeps talking about something that happened in New York, and Kamala and Cassie are arguing about how it’s not fair that the Avengers name was taken without consulting him - they were totally down to either the Young Avengers or the West Coast Avengers - but Kate doesn’t hear any of that .
She’s focused on the photo being shown on screen beside the pretty news reporter.
It’s a photo of the team standing behind the CIA Director.
Specifically, Kate’s focused on the woman standing slightly in front of the rest of the ‘New Avengers’.
(Following the plot of Thunderbolts*, Kate sees Yelena for the first time in three long years)

Summary
Yavin is….
Yavin is a work in progress. It’s something to adapt to.
Everyone there is so…..idealistic. Eager. Kleya doesn’t know if it's because they haven’t been off this force-foresaken moon in years, or because they’ve never seen real war, but she doesn’t identify many who will have the stomach to do what needs to be done. Even those that she saw earlier - with Andor’s friend - training for what’s to come. She doubts any of them have been on the front lines before.
Andor and his friend notwithstanding. Also Vel, she supposes. Begrudgingly.
(Kleya recovers after the events of Andor Season 2 and adjusts to life on Yavin)

Summary
“That’s the game, Cupcake. Anything you wanna know, ask. Just be prepared to answer the same question, so keep anything too fucked up in that pretty little head of yours.”
“I’m not going to ask anything obscene, Vi. What do you take me for?”
“Oh, you’re plenty fucked up, Cait,” Vi grins as she leans forward. “The things you ask me to do to you….Can’t believe I thought you were a stick in the mud.”
“I’m not….I’m not dignifying that with a response,” Caitlyn rolls her eyes. Vi’s just grinning at her, though, so Caitlyn can’t help but grin back. “And even if that were true, I’ve not heard a no.”
(Caitlyn and Vi play a game and try to get to know each other better)

Summary
Korra knows that it’s a problem.
She’s had enough ‘conversations’ (‘lectures’) with Tenzin about how she can’t rush into things. About how she needs to think before she acts, and to not behave too rashly.
She practically has those thoughts in Tenzin’s voice.
It’s just….it’s hard.
She already knew that her feelings for Asami were different from her feelings for Mako. That what she feels for Asami Sato is so much stronger than anything she’s ever felt before, for anyone.
(Korra gets jealous, and Asami helps her through it)

Piltover's Finest: The Master of Shadows by higherfurtherfaster

13 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
Vi’s not in Piltover when it happens.
She spends most of her days in Zaun. Now that Cait’s back working with the Enforcers - is leading the Enforcers - her schedule is pretty packed, and there’s not a lot of free time to spend with her girlfriend. Not that Cait would say that - she’d never say that - but Vi’s not an idiot. Most of the time.
Vi knows that there’s one way that she could be by Cait’s side. A way that Caitlyn’s brought up a couple times, and is so clearly thinking about every time she comes home from work. Vi can’t do that though.
She just can’t.
(Cait gets injured, and Vi searches for those responsible)

Piltover's Finest: The Madman of Zaun by higherfurtherfaster
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021), League of Legends
17 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
It’s the first time that Caitlyn’s set foot in Zaun in months.
She hasn’t been here since she was standing by Ambessa’s side, tracking down what she later learned to be Vi’s no longer deceased father.
In truth, she’s still not sure she should be here. She can feel the murderous holes being glared into the back of her skull as she walks through the broken streets of Zaun. Streets that are mangled and misshapen because of what she did. Streets that are broken because of what Piltover is. Because of what Zaun is.
Streets that she aims to help, even if there’ll never be any love for her down here.
Not that she blames them. Not in the least.
(Caitlyn tackles her first case as Sheriff, and comes across a formidable foe)

I Did Appreciate Your Warmth by higherfurtherfaster

26 Jan 2025

Summary
It’s the sound of the gunshot that jolts her awake.
Every time, it’s that sound. Every time, it’s those same words.
Every time, they have a stranglehold over her heart.
Every time, there’s that sudden fear that she only has seconds left on Runeterra.
She’s sweating, and the sheets beneath her are practically drenched. Caitlyn feels gross, this sudden urge to clean herself only growing. To wash away the muck, the grime, the shame surrounding who uttered those words, and what Caitlyn did with her.
(Caitlyn has nightmares about her almost-execution, and Vi helps her through it)

Tags
Summary
She feels hollow.
Her life was already one huge fuckup. Vi knows that.
She’s never done anything right. Not the things that really matter.
Everyone she’s cared for….they’ve either died, or they’ve lost themselves.
Vander. Powder. Caitlyn. Jinx.
She thinks she might be getting Cait back - there’s that sparkle in her eye again - but the others…..well. Vi failed them. All of them.
(After she loses Vander and Jinx, Vi searches for Caitlyn)

How Do I Find Myself, After What I've Done? by higherfurtherfaster

Summary
She still gets to live her life, even after the things she’s done. She gets the girl that she’s always wanted, and she gets to choose her job after she’s recovered. She gets to live.
It’s not fair to the people she’s hurt along the way.
But, if she’s going to get this opportunity - this second chance - she’s going to do her best to make sure she’s worthy of it.
She’s wronged people - so so so many people - and before she can feel truly comfortable, she needs to do her penance.
(Post Season 2; Caitlyn tries to recover from her injuries, all while reconciling with her actions as Commander Kiramman. Apologies abound)
