    “You don’t have to,” Bradley says.

    Jake looks at him like he’s just said something particularly stupid. “I know.”

    or; all the quiet in-betweens; moments and habits and the unspoken thing between them.

    Summary

    “Why does it have to hurt this bad?” Bradley choked out between those sobs, unsure himself if he was asking Pete or merely questioning the universe.

    Pete exhaled a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding in.
    “Because love hurts, kid…a lot. It’s…” Pete's voice trailed off, the sentence falling apart within seconds.

    From Bradley's knowledge, Pete had never loved someone like this. He’d had flings and yes, he’d loved his dad. But he’d loved his dad like a brother, not a lover, and the pain had to be more intense when it was a lover…right?
    ___
    Bradley has no business being out of bed.
    He’s drowning in grief and guilt — venomous, prickly, and filling with water by the minute. Natasha can’t pull him out.
    But maybe Pete “Maverick” Mitchell can.
    Bradley has to face the truth: he isn’t the only one mourning.
    ___
    Or, A canon divergent AU in which Jake Seresin, callsign Hangman, made a split-second decision where he sacrificed himself so Bradley and Pete could go home. His death leads Bradley into a deep, grief-stricken depression that he needs Mavericks' help to break the surface of.

    ___
    Or, Extreme angst.

    Summary

    "Falling unconscious was supposed to be a mercy. A blessing, a way to protect yourself from the turmoil and anguish you were facing. It didn’t work that way for Elphaba though. She’d tried, she’d poured everything she had, every trick in that cursed book, every ounce of power she possessed into trying to save Fiyero. In the end it had amounted to nothing but hazy flashes of what they were doing to him dancing across her eyes, and an angry vow to never do anything good again. Collapsing to the cold stone floor of Kiamo Ko, she’d barely registered Chistery and the other monkeys wrapping a cloak around her before her eyes slid shut."

    A time-travel fix it fic, where Elphaba collapses after No Good Deed, but doesn't wake up exactly where she expects she would have....
