Summary
The silence sits between them briefly like film on left out coffee, before it’s quickly disrupted by a soft exhale.
"What– what were you thinking? You could have gotten yourself killed out there. If I hadn’t reached there in time, that goon would have hit your head and who knows what they would do to Robin?!”
"You speak nonsense Grayson, I had it handled.” Damian grits out reluctantly, his gaze averted briefly before they refocus on Dick.
Meanwhile, Dick wants to shake this child by his shoulders, "Why don’t you understand you’re not alone? Batman and Robin work as a team, they always have so–”
"The previous Robins were unworthy of the title, I am obviously far more competent than those insolent fools. I need not your ceaseless concern.” The boy snarks, crossing his arms and turning his body ever so slightly away.
Or: The 'I bite' audio inspiring a Dick and Damian (and Jason) snippet.

Summary
Somehow though, he didn’t expect love to ache. He had seen families who played board games every Friday night and classmates that visited the arcades after school without care and assumed that love was demure, that love was easy.
Then he finds out that love also feels like an uphill battle that you’re being dragged up along, that love requires effort and healing (so much healing, so much getting used to) and the realisation dims the warmth in his heart from a forest fire to something more manageable. Something he could hold without burning, something he could pass around in small gestures and well-meaning promises.
In which Sakura thinks about the newfound love in his life.

Summary
His limbs grow wearier as each slash and dodge becomes more manual, exhaustion creeping in like a winter's cold.
He ignores the way his student’s confused screams fade into nothing as Mikey’s portal closes abruptly, and he smiles. It’s a bitter smile tainted by thirty four long and arduous years of war, tainted by the misplaced responsibility put onto his immature shoulders at the mere age of 15.
A bright light envelops him, the pain fading quickly into bliss and the sweet relief of it all has him crying.
He’s free. He can apologise and see his family again, without burden and able to relax. Leo has missed Raph’s gentle nagging, Donnie’s sarcastic quips. He’s mourned Mikey’s free smile before, his dad’s gentle and soft eyes, April’s toothy grin.
As he falls, there is only one thing on his mind.
‘I’m home.’
He wakes up with a startled gasp and a pained heave. That’s not supposed to happen.
Or: F!Leo goes to the past and is just as mentally unhealthy but doesn’t hate little Leo.

Summary
The statement holds no humour but Tommy laughs at the words, everyone stares in horror but he can’t help but laugh bitterly at the figure’s words.
“No Wilbur, you don’t understand. You wouldn’t have taken a blessed’s loyalty so lightly then. It was never meant to be, farewell Wilbur.”
And like that, the boy blessed by a god’s touch but cursed for a lifetime disappeared.

Summary
An alternate first meeting, where Ghost and Soap meet each other in the field under infinitely worse circumstances than either of them would have liked:
Ghost wakes up in a pit under a building with a bomb attached to him, certain he's going to die. Soap, an EOD tech amongst his other specialties, is the only person available to at least try to save him. It should be fraught, and tense, and miserable all around, and it is; a whole lot of Ghost slowly losing his mind while Soap does everything he can to save his life. But it would probably be easier if Ghost wasn't a stress-flirter, and if Soap wasn't the kind of endlessly competent that he loved, and if, by virtue of their situation, they didn't keep ripping open each other's wounds and then patching each other back up again after.

Summary
Ghost has been working at an animal shelter that rescued problem dogs for a while now. For the most part, it's a pretty great way to spend his retirement, especially with Riley by his side. Of course, there's always things that make life suck arse.
Like the guy with all the scars casing the shelter from across the street. Ghost hasn't taken a life in a long time, but if the bastard was the kind of piece of shit he suspected he was, he'd do what he had to. And if he was wrong... Well, he'd deal with that if it came to it.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov is fifteen when he wins the Hunger Games. He may be the youngest victor in history, but he's already hit his growth spurt and stands broad-shouldered and tall over the other tributes. It's no wonder, the Capitol whispers. He's already so handsome. He's not even eighteen, and the bids for his company must be astronomical.
A year later, Ilya’s record is broken by a fourteen-year-old from Four named Shane Hollander.
Ilya is twenty-six when they're sent back to the arena.

Summary
The room moves around him, nurses in and out to check on his progress and remove his IV. A new doctor comes in with discharge papers, instructions about PT that Hollander studiously writes down. Ilya lets himself be moved and nods when it seems appropriate. But he hears none of it. The blood rushes through his ears and one word echoes in his chest over and over again. Husband.
In 2025, Ilya suffers a hit on the ice and wakes up in the hospital. Shane Hollander is there, holding his hand. But the last thing Ilya remembers is a tuna melt (aaaaaaand Rose Landry).

Summary
Much to Shane's dismay, Shane and Ilya accept their first ever joint brand deal as a married couple. Ilya watches his husband transform completely during their photoshoot and starts to learn about the world of models and posing that Shane has been immersed in all these years, struggling between being concerned about what this world of people want from his husband, and turned on that Shane seems so oblivious to how desirable he truly is. So maybe, just maybe, it's time Shane learns.
