Summary
Gideon grimaced and made a decision. “Alright, come on. Let’s do the thing.”
“The what?” Harrow said, sounding moderately disgusted.
Gideon moved close to Harrow again and tapped her on the shoulder. “I’m going to help you, but I’m doing it to prove a point. And the point is that you’re not trapped here, you’re freaking out for nothing, and you’re unfairly trying to abandon me.”
“That’s three points,” said Harrow.
[At the end of the war, necromancy is banned and Harrow struggles to find her place.]

Summary
“Gideon,” replied Harrow, thoroughly bored of this interaction already and taking no pains to hide it. “There’s been a noise complaint about your social gathering, and as it is…” – she made a great show of checking the watch she didn’t own and therefore wasn’t wearing – “…ass and balls o’clock in the morning, I’m here to tell you to break it up and go to sleep like good little children.” She made sure to infuse ‘social gathering’ with the exact same tone of withering condescension she’d use to say, like, ‘debauched orgy’ or ‘World War II LARP session’ or ‘tea party with Ronald and Nancy Reagan.’
Predictably, Gideon ignored her. Instead, she slouched even harder and more bonelessly against the doorframe and held her hand to her face in an upsettingly decent imitation of the thinking emoji. “Ortus again?” she asked eventually, her tone carefully pruned of all discernible emotion.
“I take my role as senior resident of these halls of accommodation very seriously, as you well know, and it is my duty to investigate all complaints promptly and vigorously while protecting the anonymity of the complainant,” said Harrow officiously. “But yes, it was Ortus, because he is a big girl’s blouse.”

He paused, offering her a tiny, sad smile. “That’s the thing about the dead, you know – they’re quite impossible to satisfy. I find the best thing to do is to stop trying.”
--
“Okay, fair point,” Gideon said mildly, her cheeks tinged faintly pink, and she sprang up, calling out “Text me, yeah?” casually back over her shoulder, as though she wasn’t carrying Harrow’s heart with her as she left.
--
"Oh, yeah,” Gideon said. “It’s all pretty good. I have an art exhibit coming up, actually, you guys should all come, it’s all about, like – subverting the male gaze, re-examining typical depictions of the female body from an equal perspective, you know, stuff like that.”
“You just wanted to draw sexy ladies,” said Dulcinea, passing by with a luridly bright cocktail in her hand.
“I just wanted to draw sexy ladies,” Gideon agreed, nodding placidly.

Summary
Adora dances through the strands of time programmed into the system. The first week, she jumps forward just a year or two — 2042, 2043, just before the breakup, back when they were still happy. In 2051, she sports the short, choppy haircut that was popular at the time. In 2066, it’s long, and dyed at the tips. She’s twenty two, over and over and over again, each weekend spent experiencing that age right on the cusp of adulthood as she weaves in and out of time periods, searching for Catra.
In the summer of 2044, she wanders past a sports bar and sees her own face, sweaty and breathless in an interview. Adora remembers this video — it was taken just before she received her first Olympic gold.
Adora keeps walking. There’s no way Catra would choose to be here.
________Adora has never had much interest in the Etheria program, a virtual reality simulation in which those on the verge of death and dementia can relive their glory days, dancing side by side with the consciousnesses of the deceased — but when she runs into a familiar face while visiting a dearly departed friend, she finds herself tumbling back into a romance she thought she had lost decades ago.

Summary
In the private world of high fashion and paparazzi headlines, it's a practiced art to lose a piece of yourself in pursuit of more. It's made to be enticing like that. It's easy to ask for excess when all you had was less.
And when it wears Adora down, breaks down her resolve, taking it apart and apart until there's nothing left, she meets her again.
Catra.
"You need to learn how to be selfish. To take what you want." She trails a finger from her neck to her jaw. It's intimate. It's devastating. "Don't you want me, Adora?"

Summary
Sloane had never really known a whole lot about trees.
The elven half of her family were all city elves, stretching back generations, and anyway she’d always been pretty sure elves knowing a lot about forests and stuff was a racial stereotype and not based in anything actually real. Certainly none of her elven friends growing up in Goldcliff had given a shit about nature, or communing with it, or hearing things on the winds. For her childhood and most of her adult life the only things anyone seemed to listen to were themselves, violence, and money.
It wasn’t until she became a tree herself that she realized they could feel.

Summary
There was one cat, he liked it the most. It reminded him of the tricks with alley cats, where they’d meow at you out of habit. They'd tell you what you wanted to hear, and stare at you with big eyes expectantly.
In South America, a margay would mimic the sound of a monkey crying. It's parents would run over, tricked by the lure. Then the margay would pounce when its prey was unaware, being victorious over the trickery of voice. It was interesting, chattering and talking and small and unassuming; brilliant like the hunter it was.
Shinsou knew he was cursed with a quirk like his; he was destined for crime and other illicit abilities. Already people had made comments, already he walked home alone without fear because a few words and he’d be fine. Already, the men in his neighbourhood knew not to attack the kid with purple hair.
A margay was a beautiful forest predator, it didn’t fear anyone or anything.
Shinsou wanted to be a hero, he wanted to prove them wrong.
His mother maybe didn’t give a shit anymore, but he still did.
Shinsou applied to UA.
You want me to chatter? I'll sink my claws in you.

Summary
There was a conflict of interest, a juxtaposition against mind and sensation. He could break his finger- feeling how it fucking hurt alright, but it wasn’t anything different than when he found that shirt the other day he thought he forgot.
It was something in passing. He wanted to finish his assignment for English, he wanted to get his door hinge to stop squeaking, he wanted to stop being alive.Or
Bakugou knew one thing; no matter how hard he tried, no matter how bright he burned, Deku would always ruin it
He should have known Kirishima wouldn't have lasted also.Or
(When Midoriya and Kirishima start dating, Bakugou gracelessly, falls apart.) -
