Summary

It had been weeks since Bell had refused to sleep, had promised Indeera and Burryaga he would at least *try,* and tonight Bell desperately wanted to break that promise. He rarely did but stars he wanted to. He wanted to push back sleep until his eyes burned, until his speech slurred and his skin buzzed with unneeded adrenaline because if he slept there was a chance this became a dream within a dream and Bell knew he would not survive it.

“Don’t overthink Padawan, I can hear your brain from here.”

Loden’s voice was gently chiding, and Bell merely buried his face into the pillow beneath him.

“Sorry.” He apologised quietly, eyes flicking up to Lodens face. His eyes were tired, the brown iris’s warm and gentle. But Bell could see the shadows were there, in the bruises under Loden’s own eyes. Bell knew they would morph into blood curdling nightmares. But not tonight. He would make sure of it, somehow.

He couldn’t do it for himself, but he would do so for Loden. Would blind and burn himself in the Force to make it happen.
Survival is never pretty, or easy. But they did, and they would face the aftermath together. One way or another.

Summary

It was…. freeing. To not be recognised.

Here, he wasn’t Former Chancellor Kyong Greylark’s cult-conspirator son. He wasn’t the Chaos child of Elecia Zeveron.

Here, he was merely Gella Nattai’s friend.

That was a title he could wear with honour.
Axel and Gella, after the dust settles.

Summary

Bells fingers gently threaded through his hair, caressing them like Burryaga was one of Bell's beloved hounds. Perhaps he was, in the eyes of some.

Burryaga hitched Bells legs over his shoulder, pressing a tender kiss to the soft flesh, eyes slipping half closed as he peered up at Bell through his lashes.

“May I?”

Bell, beautiful, precious Bell. He smiled, like Burryaga was asking for a kiss and not to drain Bell of the very ichor that kept him alive.

Bell smiled, tender and private, his cheeks flushed and lips still slick with spit.

“Go on, take what you need.”

Summary

In which the Clone Wars do not end with betrayal, death and a burning temple that was home to thousands. It's not a perfect ending, wounds still seeping with blood, with distrust and regret. But it's better.
In this galaxy, things could be fixed.
Shaak smiled, petting the grass invitingly. “We are quite alright Ahsoka. Thank you for joining us today. I know you probably would rather spend your time with those your own age, rather than two old Masters’ like us.” Her voice was light and joking, washing over them like the strum of a harp.

Clearly, Shaak’s joke had eased Ahsoka’s discomfort, her shoulders slumping into a more eased position.

“I wouldn’t dream of being anywhere else.” She replied, her voice surprisingly tender and quiet. Like the young girl couldn’t quite fathom that they were Infront of her.

Summary

After a year of separation, Burryaga doesn't hesitate to re-acquaint himself with Bell.

The low murmur of conversation leaked through the door, Senators and party goers wandering the halls as the gala continued, but Burryaga didn’t focus on any of that. Didn’t focus on the chatter, the sound of constant footsteps that passed by their room. Not when he had a much better thing to focus on, just below him.

It was dark, the curtains drawn on their balcony blocking out the moon's rays. But Burryaga could just make Bell out below him.

And by the Light what a sight he made.

Summary

"Because he and Hotch spend forever trying to fill in that blank. To summarize Dr. Reid into a single sentence, and Derek comes to the conclusion he’d rather not years later. And it’s not, Reid is a certifiable genius who can solve any problem, or Reid graduated at twelve and got three PhDs before he was twenty, or even Reid is my family. It's this: Reid is a traumatized kid who raised himself in desperate need of help he won’t ask for. That he would never ask for. He doesn’t know how." (gen, one-shot)

Summary

His migraines are a constant. The ache in his head, the shifting of the world around him, the knives of light digging into his skull. Something's very wrong with him, but every doctor he sees says the same thing - it's psychosomatic. Stress induced. But he's not crazy. He's not.
AKA: Spencer's migraines are getting worse and worse, yet he refuses to tell the team. Cue them finding out when Reid nearly passes out during a case.

Summary

Ben’s gaze lingers on Prentiss like some sort of twisted staring contest, but the gun never fully leaves Reid. His eyes flick between the two agents, weighing the risk of sacrifice against cold suspicion, innocence against guilt. Then, with a sudden jerk of his chin, he gestures towards the stairs, the same one Reid had watched girls disappear down with heads hung low. “He stays,” Ben states, voice lower than usual but certain.

Reid’s stomach drops. “What?” he finds himself asking aloud.

“The innocent must not suffer further with the guilty. God commands me to shield you, and so I must place you where no sin can touch you. You will be safe as long as you remain where I put you.” Ben explains, as simply and casually as if he were discussing the weather. “The innocent must be shielded from corruption. God commands me to protect the pure.”

-------------------

Or, Minimal Loss goes a little differently, and Reid gets caught in the crossfire.

Summary

Percy Jackson can’t get a break. He stopped the fall of Olympus. He stopped the rise of Giants and the destruction of the mortal world. He finally, FINALLY, got into college. His life finally looked like it was getting better. So of course he’s not even a little surprised when he gets kidnapped by a group of wand-waving weirdos who took a little too much inspiration from the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella. And of course, his other grandfather was one of those weirdos. And also of the psychopathic, murdering, dictator variety.
