Summary
When John Dory's childhood asthma makes a horrific comeback, he decides to keep it to himself. No need to rock the boat and ruin the fun by being dramatic about not being able to breathe. It's no big deal, it'll pass.
Tons of medial inaccuracies! All depictions of asthma are based on my experience with a stubborn sibling of my own with the disease. I have no further knowledge.

Summary
Because, let's be honest, walking through each others shame rooms, trying to work together, the sudden change in life dynamics? It's a lot. What the group really needs is some good group therapy* time.
A growing collection of one-shots exploring the Thunderbolts, all loosely connected but can be stand-alone chapters.

Summary
“Shh,” Bob whispers again. “Just relax, John.”
He does. He can’t help it. He’s fucking melting into the bed like Bob’s touch is magic, all of his thoughts dissipating in the sensation.
“That’s it,” Bob continues. His touch grows firmer – thumb rubbing circles into the knots in John’s shoulder. “Just relax. You’re doing good.”
The whimper that comes out of John’s mouth is entirely involuntary and incredibly embarrassing.
“Just like that,” Bob murmurs as if John hasn’t made a noise. “I’ve got you. You’re doing so good.”
It’s – he’s – John’s fucking burning up inside. He feels so warm. Doesn’t know whether to leave – to flee from whatever the fuck Bob’s words are doing to him, injury be damned – or to press back into the touch, to lean into the comfort and soak up these scraps he’s being offered.
(Five times John discovers his praise kink, and the one time he acts on it.)
