    Summary

    Jamie Tartt is a mess, a ruin of competence and broken promises. He plays like he’s outrunning his demons, and knows they’re only ever one bad landing away. All spite, all courage, no mercy--least of all to himself.

    In hindsight, Roy lost his heart, his head, and any claim on dignity about fourteen minutes into setting eyes on him. They hadn’t even spoken. The lad was at the presser announcing his transfer to Richmond, standing shoulder to shoulder with Rebecca at her most terrifyingly posh—and holding his own.

    Past-him, the poor dumb idiot, had no idea. He was blissfully unaware that his life was about to go completely, irrevocably off the rails. He couldn’t have guessed that the jagged-eyed young Manc was the love of his fucking life.

    Summary

    “No wonder we cannot appreciate the really central Kafka joke: that the horrific struggle to establish a human self results in a self who’s humanity is inseparable from the horrific struggle. That our endless and impossible journey toward home is in fact home”

    or

    Jamie Tartt explores his humanity and body autonomy by going through the paces of two steps back and one step forward. There are tattoos, there are dreams, there are mistakes and there are reconciliations. Accountability is a two way street and he'll greet whoever decides to meet him halfway through.

    Summary

    As Lucifer walked across the room towards the Detective's desk, he noticed that the figure sitting there was definitely not the Detective. The figure was quite a bit smaller, and much more inclined to sticky hands and impulsive hugs. She, however, didn't seem to notice him and was rather subdued. He thought it was strange to see her so unlike her usually happy and (unfortunately for him) clingy self. So much so, in fact, that he found himself making his way over to her and asking (without thinking or really even being conscious of the act), "What's wrong, child?"

    Beatrice Decker jumped and tried to smile at him when she realized who had approached her. "Hi, Lucifer..." she said instead of answering his question.

    "Yes," he replied absently, trying to think about anything else but the child in front of him (he couldn't). He watched as she looked down at the table; she didn't even try to hug him as she usually did. "Spawn," he called to get her attention. When she looked up at him, he found himself kneeling down to her level. "What's the matter, darling?" he asked, his voice gentle and soft (so unusual when applied anyone who wasn't his Detective).

    Summary

    “Things were difficult by the time I left Habibi, and I’m not sure I could go back. There wouldn’t be a place for me now. Sometimes things change, people change Habibi, and sometimes what used to fit never will again. And that’s ok.” Akhi says, voice soft as he looks at him.

    “Do you not miss them?” Damian asks, confused. After everything his mother had said, he’d have thought Akhi would be desperate to reunite with his family.

    “Of course I do, Habibi. I think I’ll always miss them, but things have changed. I’m not the person I lost, and I’m sure they’ve changed to. I’ll always love them, Habibi, but you're my family first, okay? It’ll always be me and you”

    And, oh, he hadn’t expected that.

    Or;

    Jason, Damian and a study on grief and how sometimes the only thing you ever truly need, is time.

    Summary

    After an altercation with his dad, Steve hides away in the pantry in his kitchen and calls for help on the walkie-talkie. Luckily, Eddie is awake and comes to the rescue, stealing Steve away to stay at the Munsons’ until it’s safe for Steve to go back. Steve hates when either of his parents come home to visit, especially when it’s his dad. It feels ridiculous to say but Steve thinks he’d rather face another Demogorgon.

    A Demogorgon will smell blood in the water and kill on sight, but Mr. Harrington has a habit of dragging it out and making sure his prey knows they’re bleeding. The monsters under the bed are nothing compared to the monsters down the hall, Steve’s an expert. He’s known for a long time now how messed up it all is, he knows he needs out, needs help, but it feels impossibly hard. It’s normal for him and he’s dealt with it this long, he just needs to tough it out until he can afford his own place.

    It doesn’t occur to Steve that he has a plethora of people willing to fight monsters at his side, whether the monsters are from the Upside Down or his own home. With the help of his monster hunting crew, Steve escapes his parents and learns what love is really supposed to be.
