Summary
Loki blinks a few times. This day is just getting odder and odder. “You’re giving me a suite."
“Well, yeah, you’re my guest, what, am I gonna make a guest sleep in a closet or something? I’m a dictator, not an animal,“ the Grandmaster scoffs. “First you think I’m going to kill you, then you think I’m going to defile you, and now you think I’m going to, what, put you in the basement and, and feed you scraps? Is your opinion of everyone this low or are you just—or do I just throw off some kind of—some kind of—"
“Grandmaster,” Loki says, interrupting him from his tangent. “With a history like mine, one learns to be... cautious.”

Summary
As soon as he said it, Harry stopped stirring, standing still for one, two, three seconds, then he turned, leaned over the counter, hands on the edge of it to support himself. “Niall, you can’t.” He paused, breathing heavily, and looked around the room, sliding his lower lip between his teeth. “You can’t.” He stopped again, mouth open, speechless. His face wasn’t hiding his emotions anymore; he was open, exposed in front of Niall. He was hurt, furious, angry, frustrated, filled with regret, and tired. “You left, Niall.” He stopped again, a trembling breath leaving him, eyes piercing into Niall’s. “You left me, without a goodbye, without an explanation, without a single note. You have no idea what I went through. I thought you were dead, Niall.”
Niall may have traveled the world and found love everywhere he went, but there was only one he would always return to

“Eggsy, I really don’t think-“ Merlin began, and stopped, because at that very moment, Eggsy walked right into a lamp post.
Across the street, at a sidewalk corner cafe, reading a paper, sandwich part-eaten on a plate, sleek, long legs crossed neatly under the table, was Harry Hart.

Harry felt Malfoy's breath on his lips as they came together over the bottle, hands firmly planted on the floor as though they each needed their familiar soil, refusing to cross into enemy territory.
Except that Malfoy no longer felt like his enemy.Malfoy felt inevitable.

Summary
Steve takes in Bucky's betrayed look and Sam's confusion, follows Sam's gaze to the pile of mangled fruit in the trash can. Sudden comprehension fills his face.
"Oh," he says. "Bucky found out about bananas."
In which an American icon is mourned. But probably not the one you're thinking of.

“And. Oh god, Niall. He asked Niall to be his other best man.”
Selena goes silent, not exactly sure how to describe how she's feeling. She settles for a lackluster, “Oh,” and. She doesn't know how to react.

a quick note about this fic: i started reading fanfiction around 2011 on fanfiction.net. in 2012, i read this, and i remember walking around in a fucking daze after this, like those really good books/fics that leave you reeling and thinking about them for days. not only is the writing still breathtaking now, but it holds a very fucking special place in my heart

“Listen. You can do whatever you’d like, but you told me that you were going to be taking a year of your life living here— in Italy, right?” He looks into Liam’s eyes for confirmation, squeezing gently into his shoulder. “Right?”
Liam nods. He shivers at the realization that he’s going to be here for a year. His pilgrimage has only just begun. He hadn’t really thought about how much a year could change a person—perhaps even a week. He can already tell by the end of this conversation with Niall, change may come more quickly.
