Summary
He’d seen glimpses of her before, the real Rumi, the girl behind the idol and the blade. He’d seen bits and pieces of her in her choo-choo pants, in the girl who wasn’t weirded out by his dumb tiger and arrogant crow, in the insecurities slithering beneath the patterns, in the compassion she’d shown him again and again, in the desperate soul before him who, despite all he had done to her, had told him that he was more than the mistakes he’d made, somebody who’d seen him for all he really was and accepted him all the same. That had been all Rumi, he knew, and still this was the first time he felt he was seeing the whole of her. Half hunter. Half demon. Resilient. Iridescent.
Breathtaking.
The final battle through Jinu's eyes, and what comes next.

Summary
The stranger next to you is crying. The stranger next to you is crying a lot.
Although you suppose he must be doing his best to conceive his pitiful sobs, the fact that the train carriage is so full it resembles a can of tightly packed sardines is not really working in his favour. He isn’t necessarily being loud, per se; it’s just that the two of you are standing too close to each other, and so every time his chest heaves with excessively deep breaths, you feel it brush up and down against your arm.
It’s honestly pushing you a little bit further to the brink of insanity.
Or; when you get stood up on Valentine's Day, you think your night is done for; that is, until you meet a stranger who claims to be in your current predicament.
Maybe your night can be salvaged after all? -

Summary
As if Rody didn’t have enough on his plate (but, honestly, what was new about that), stupid Greenie kept nagging him and–
And suddenly there were guns pointed straight at him and Greenie became the least of his problems and Jesus Christ he did not want to die.
Everything became a blur after that, but there was something he remembered clearly: green. There was a lot of it as Greenie flew them through the air: an electric green, a green so dark it could have been black and then a green so bright it could have been white and–
Ah, yes, of course the arrows trying to kill them had to be green, too.
Or; Rody and Izuku's story told through the colours.

Summary
All in all, you were taking the very particular hardships of dating a Pro Hero in stride.
You would never have guessed that meeting Izuku’s parents, something completely mundane and not at all out of the ordinary for a normal couple, would be what finally did it for you.
Or; it's finally time for you to meet your in-laws, and you may or may not be having a mental breakdown about it.

Summary
There's something strange about Beacon Hills.
Stiles can't really put his finger on it, but the way certain classmates look at him at school and the way certain adults look at him in the grocery store has him curious. And it's not the sort of pitying looks that his mom's coworkers used to give him, but these ones are longer, more searching, like they're looking for something. Not to mention the weird noises that sometimes come from the woods when he runs, too human to be animal and too animal to be human. Plus the way the Hales have seemed to sequester themselves to the wild and give Stiles serious Cullen family vibes.
But Stiles, like everyone else apparently, ignores it. Until it becomes too great to ignore and he has to investigate for himself and find out what is actually going on in Beacon Hills.
+++
Or, the one where Stiles and Derek meet, hate each other, slowly get to know one another, and fall totally head over heels for each other all while avoiding curious classmates, an angry ex-girlfriend, and, oh yeah, imminent death.
