    Summary

    “Oh- oh shit…” Robert dropped to his knees, crawling over him. That’s when he saw them: two bloody holes torn through Flambae’s shoulder and stomach. Bright red blood poured out like a river. Flambae had been shot. A spike of cold punched down Robert’s spine, even though the body under his hands radiated heat.

    Or, Flambae took a bullet for Robert (actually, two bullets), despite claiming he’d never do that. They both end up learning a lot about themselves and each other afterward.

    Summary

    The thing about plastic chairs is that they weren't a great substitute for an actual bed; the other thing is, Robert can't exactly afford to be picky and even if he 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 the internal debate is still ongoing as to whether or not he deserves a mattress at this current point in his life.

    So, the plastic chair stays and is staying for the foreseeable future. Besides, it's charming - in a depressing, minimalism-that-is-totally-not-a-reflection-of-his-inner-sense-of-worth way.

     
    Or:

    The fic where Robert has chronic pain and Flambae has warm hands. The two of them will figure out what to do about that eventually, right?

    Summary

    Mark and Rex are dating, and not even the most brilliant minds on the planet can provide an explanation. People are drawing graphs and shit. They’re writing formulas and testing chemical reactions. By all accounts, it doesn’t make any sense.

    Summary

    Vanessa has only cooked for them three times, all of those instances being dinner, but she decided to switch it up this morning. Not like she had anything better to do after waking up at 6am, left trembling and gasping for breath in the wake of a nightmare that was all too familiar, the overpowering smell of iron and the phantom feeling of blood coated hands making it impossible to think straight.

    ---

    Vanessa falls victim to her own mind, and receives help she never expected.

    Summary

    A late-night phone conversation. An eavesdropping father.

    “OK, yeah. It’s late. I can pick you up on the way to school tomorrow if you want? Yeah, OK…Love you too, Ev.”

    Larry heads to bed, mentally churning through every “Ev” name he knows – Evelyn? Eva? Evangeline?

    Cynthia rolls over as he climbs into bed, and slurs out a sleepy “It’s late.”

    “Ev,” says Larry. “Ev, who’s Ev?”

    (Or: Connor's in love. Larry's clueless. But trying.)

    Summary

    The Murphy’s dining table has certainly seen better days.

    It’s chipped in places now, and the wood is dull and faded. There’s red wine stains and scratches, and a pale, milky spot where someone spilled nail polish remover and the varnish never quite recovered.

    But it still has potential. It’s a fixer-upper. 

    And Cynthia wants to be the one to fix it up.

    God knows there are plenty of other things in her life that she never had the opportunity to fix.

    (Or: Three times Connor goes to the dining table when his heart needs help).

    Summary

    There’s nothing out of the ordinary, the night you meet.

    Nueva York's underbelly remains as hostile to life as ever, the sound of industry coloring its perpetually damp pavement, polluted air, and flickering neon. No, there's nothing out of the ordinary.

    Except a battered and bruised Spider-Man, waiting in a heap for you to find him.

    Summary

    “Fucking useless. Fucking brat!”
    Max jerked awake, gasping, and scrabbled back on the mattress until his back hit the wall. This wasn’t his room. This wasn’t his house. Where in the fuck was he? Where were his parents? Wh-
    Why was the bed shaking?
    A sharp whistle pierced the air, and dark, fast shape rattled by. A train? The light filled his room for a split second, throwing everything into sharp white light.
    There was a splash of color on the wall. A stick with blue paint tapering around it. His hoodie was half falling off the edge of the bed. Mr. Honeynuts was lying next to his pillow. Someone had tied a yellow bandana around his neck.
    Max sighed and let his head thump against the wall. The vibrations as the train rumbled by shook down into his bones.
    “Fucking David.”

    Alternatively: Max and David both adjust to their new living situation.

    Summary

    Danny has not truly trusted his parents for a long time, but Maddie Fenton had still been his mom. She, despite the cold gleam of the sun reflecting off her goggles, and despite the heavy barrels of the weapons she carried, had still been the woman he’d go to when he felt sick, or wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but didn’t have the motivation to make it.

    Or, Danny has complicated relationships with the adults in his life, and they only grow more so as his world changes, following the day his mother doesn't come to visit him in the hospital.

    Summary

    “By signing the above form, you waive the right to sue the Life Foundation or any of its subsidiaries and holdings in the event of injuries sustained during the course of the experiment.” Eddie pauses for a second. “Up to and including death.”

    Drake's smile is pleasant and faintly terrifying. “A mere formality. Are you signing or shall I ask security to see you back out?”

    Eddie thinks for a moment about saying no; about ripping up this dumb form and heading out the door where - where what? Where his favourite park bench was waiting? Where he had no home, no family, no life?

    No, he was seeing this through. For his reputation, for the others who had already gone missing; for the truth.
