Summary
By the time he rolled up to Sam's apartment building, it was going on two in the morning. It was only then, in that dim parking lot, that Dean thought to question coming here first at all. He could go to Jericho. He could figure out why Dad wasn’t answering. Only, a part of him was running down a list of possibilities, and he didn’t want to be alone for any of them:
Scenario one, Dad was fine, his phone had broken, which explained the shitty voicemail, and Dean would be showing up, against orders, like a fretful wife nosing into his business.
Scenario two, Dad was fine, he’d called with bad service to tell Dean to fuck off, and now he was ignoring Dean’s calls on purpose. Finally ready to cut a cord too-long indulged.
Scenario three, Dad was not fine.
----
A canon rewrite AU diverging from the events of Some Cruel Tide, in which a shifter disguised as his father used Dean's blind obedience to molest him. By the start of S1, Dean's relationship with his father is more strained, his devotion more intense, and his life consumed by the need to hide the parts of himself he is most ashamed of.

Summary
“You know what kept me going, century after century?” Hob is angry enough, desperate enough, that his voice drops low, quiet. “Even when I had nothing?”
The music around them crests, waves crashing against the unyielding shores of time –
“Chimneys,” Morpheus answers, bland.
Oh, what a bastard.
--------------------
Or, dreams are memories, Hob reflects about life, and Morpheus learns a thing or two about what it means to be saved, and to be loved.

Summary
After the camera crew and interviewer bids them goodbye, Satori takes them back to his apartment.
“Why do you feel bad?” Wakatoshi’s hand settles against Satori’s thigh. Jesus. Fucking. Christ. “You have many friends, Satori. To you, our friendship is likely not as important. To me, you were the first person who wanted to know me, save for, perhaps, Sakusa. You made me feel …” He seems to struggle with his words for a moment, before he dips his head a little. Satori marvels at the clear sign of embarrassment. “You made me feel less weird. I never had many friends, and I still don’t. You were my first best friend.”
Suffice to say, Satori is speechless.

Summary
After falling from the tree didn't do the trick, Evan begins to seek out another solution. A partner. Peer pressure to get the job done. He spends several weeks trolling a website with a section called Suicide Partners after breaking his arm. He finds a potential match in someone else who is looking to make sure they actually pull the trigger this time (metaphorically speaking).
Three guesses whose message Evan responds to.
It's Connor's, of course.

Summary
Genos stares. For a very long time, because he’s standing in the street with one shoe on, fighting a half-naked man who’s threatening to eat his other shoe, and now there’s an actual naked bald man with one raised eyebrow like he can’t even tell Genos is on his way to short-circuiting. “Oh.”
(Either this 'Saitama' guy has very bad luck, or he genuinely enjoys getting attacked by monsters every week.
Genos, for the life of him, can't tell which.)

There are a few things that Carlos may have neglected to tell Cecil.
Like his last name.
Or how he hasn’t actually dated anyone since his junior year of high school.
Or that he’s a wizard of the White Council and the regional commander of Wardens in the western United States and not, in fact, a scientist.
You know. Minor details.

"It’s not right, what you did. But I realize now I’d have done it too, if I were you."
A fairy tale about barren winter landscapes, burials, and forgiveness.
Or, if the story wasn't an allegory, but the allegory was a story.

aka. three times fabian has a breakdown about getting his kisses in (or not)
-----
This sucks. All the teen rom coms Fig watches lied, there isn’t anything fun or cool about being in love- not in love- with your best friend. It’s just uncomfortable and weird and has the potential to ruin everything.The worry crawls under his skin and sits there like static, buzzing to life any time Riz smiles at him or pokes him in the ribs or frowns in Fabian’s direction like he’s thinking too hard. Things that used to happen without a second thought every day, and now Fabian can’t help but do a double take, or jump a little when they happen. Which then makes Riz do his little there’s-a-puzzle-to-solve-here frown at Fabian; and what if he thinks Fabian’s acting weird because he likes the Ball? So then Fabian acts more freaked out and Riz pays more attention and- it’s all just some horrifying positive feedback loop of weird unspoken feelings that makes Fabian feel like he’s perpetually falling down a set of stairs.

Summary
Their arrangement had started when Luz had whispered to her, in the smouldering ashes of everything going wrong or perfectly, wretchedly right (it depends on who you ask; depends what time of the day you ask Eda), that Alador, Em, Ed and Amity didn’t really have anywhere to stay anymore since that Odalia had holed herself up in the old property with all those freaky weapons.
“I’d kill her for the property,” Amity had then said, without any prompting whatsoever and very little context.
“You can stay with me,” Eda had countered, levelling Amity with the kind of glare that said I remember all of the sleepovers I let you and Luz have, you better remember that, too, you freakishly powerful badass that reminds me way too much of myself, let’s talk about murder and arson when you’re eighteen, m’kay? And Alador had let out the kind of audible sigh of relief that said there was something lurking under the surface that he didn’t want to admit.
Post-Belos, Post-Collector, Post-Societal Collapse, the Blights crash at the Owl House and a couple of weeks into the new arrangement, Eda handles a visit from Odalia in a less than proper manner.

Summary
“You actually stayed in other dimensions? I thought you were more like a… vagabond, or something-“
“I was,” Ford gave a sigh and sat back, sensing the twins would not let this particular subject drop. “I just happened to stay on the Boiling Isles for a bit longer than usual.”
“The Boiling Isles?” Mabel said inquisitively. “Is that a fire dimension? Did it have flame people?”
Ford shook his head. “No, no. The fire dimension was much less hospitable.”

The characterization in this is absolutely stellar, especially with Mabel. Also, I feel an incredibly strong urge to write something based off of this. Ford’s doomed whirlwind romance must exist on the page.

Summary
The world was made of ice. Bare tree branches glistened with an inch of it; Sid’s sidewalk, when he ventured out, was a solid frozen sheet. Stalactites of ice hung from his gutters and thousands of tiny stalagmites poked up from his lawn between fallen tree limbs.
“Well, shit,” Sid said, and walked stiff-legged and careful back into the house.

Summary
The dining room of The Compass Points is awash in dim gold light that soaks into red velvet seats, gleams off of fine cutlery and white china. Everyone here is someone important, and all their eyes are trained on Fig, dinners and companions forgotten in the spell of her voice. Fig sways under the attention, cups the microphone as she croons an old standard.

Summary
Listen. Karl wasn’t suicidal. He wasn’t.
It was just – he’d been so sure that this was a Tale. This Quackity was… different. He had cold eyes and an even colder smile, and was the complete opposite of the warm and laughing fiancé Karl knew. Where his Quackity would’ve greeted him with a hug, this Quackity offered nothing but aloof detachment. Hell, Karl had never even heard of Las Nevadas.
Even so, he hadn’t been able to stand the thought of someone who looked so similar to his Quackity eventually killing him. So, he’d decided to speed up the process a little, and the second ‘Quackity’ turned his back, he tried to throw himself off the top of the Needle.
(He was just going home – to his fiancés.)
He hadn’t expected to be dragged back over the railing and far away from the edge with an endless litany of curses. And it was his Quackity, wide-eyed and terrified, hands desperately clutching at his jumper. “Karl, what the fuck?!”
“Oh,” Karl breathed. A quiet realisation. “Hey Big Q.”

Summary
From the kinkmeme: AU Warlord!Geralt receives Tribute!Jaskier as a sacrifice to appease him in every way possible. Jaskier has no choice on the matter and he’s fully aware of the awful rumours that have spread about Geralt and his ruthless conquests. (But we all know those aren’t legit.) A classic angst with a happy ending please! A dash of smut to heal those scars and a sprinkle of new found love!
Jaskier arrives at Kaer Morhen knowing his family gave him up without a second thought, and absolutely sure that the dreaded Warlord of the North will value him even less than his own blood did. But the White Wolf and his pack are not what Jaskier expected...and if he's unreasonably lucky, Kaer Morhen might become far more of a home than Lettenhove ever was.
...He is, in fact, going to be unreasonably lucky, because the Warlord of the North is a far finer monarch - and a far better man - than Redania's king has ever dreamed of being.

Jonnit takes it and holds it between two fingers, examining it. It looks like it’s old - not 2000s old, not even 1980s old, but centuries old. The writing on the card is cursive, black ink that glitters gold when he tilts it. There’s only one word, one simple word in the center of the card: Curiosities.

Summary
“What is that?” Wilbur asks, nodding to whatever intricate thing Tubbo is assembling. There’s already a stack of them in a glass case across the room, but he doesn’t see any immediate use for them, only knows that there must be one. Every twist of Tubbo’s fingers is calculated.
“They’re pieces,” Tubbo answers tersely.
“For?” Wilbur asks, nearly missing the days when Tubbo clung to his leg and never closed his mouth, yelling excitedly about the trees he was going to climb and the mobs he was going to slay, words so easy to coax that they didn’t seem worth anything at the time.
Tubbo hesitates for a beat of silence before answering. “Nukes.”
A discussion of similarities and explosions.
